PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                    11 JULY 2017

                                                                                         PROJECT
                                                                                         URBAN SZ
       by more recent water quality policies.   Covey Associates’ states that /t /s arguable that the targets
       associated with the POD are not reflective of currently accepted data and are unrealistic, particularly as
       data suggests undeveloped catchments generate pollutant loads in excess of the targets during storm
       events.
       It is noted that the submitted Stormwater Management Plan easily achieves current annual pollutant
       load reduction objectives set by the State Planning Policy 2016.    Council staff have also previously
       provided the table below to Councillors confirming that the development complies with the SEQ Water
       Development Guidelines 2012 for horizontal separation distances (setbacks) for dangerous and
       hazardous substances.

                        The following Table 1 compares the developments setbacks with the Seqwater Development
                        Guideline's setbacks for Dangerous and Hazardous Substances Management, Storage and
                        handling with the developments’.

       The applicant requests that Council confirm how the water quality targets specified in the POD were
       determined and what guidelines they reference. A meeting with key Council staff is also requested to
       discuss the water quality targets that should apply to the site. Finally, if it is resolved that the POD's
      water quality targets are redundant, it is requested that condition 27(e) is amended to reference the
       State Planning Policy and Covey’s Stormwater Management Plan which achieves pollutant load
       reductions well above required rates.
       Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.
       Yours faithfully
