1.0    INTRODUCTION

       1.1       Preamble

       Duke Environmental has been commissioned by Kenlynn Pty Ltd to assess the
       location and sizing of the current on-site wastewater treatment and effluent disposal
       system in response to Item 2 of the Noosa Council Information Request (Ref:
       REC16/0015) dated 8 July 2016.

       This report has generally been prepared in accordance with AS/NZS 1547:2012
       (On-Site Domestic Wastewater Management), the Environmental Protection
       Regulation 2008, and the Department of Housing and Public Works ‘Queensland
       Plumbing and Wastewater Code’ (2013) (as applicable).

       1.2       Site Location

       The subject site is located at 2 David Low Way, Castaways Beach and is described
       as Lot 71 MCH2854. The site has an area of approximately 9,677m2.

       Refer Drawing DE1384/01 in Appendix A for Subject Site Location.

       1.3       Description of the Proposal

       The proposal consists of an application for Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 into 2 lots).
       We understand the current intent is to retain the existing dwellings, however the site
       plan includes potential building envelopes in the event that dwellings are replaced in
       the future.

       1.4       State and Local Government Authority Requirements

       A number of legislative requirements relate to onsite wastewater treatment and
       disposal systems under Queensland legislation, along with various other standards
       and guidelines that may place constraints on the suitability of the site for onsite
       wastewater disposal.

       Those potentially relevant to the proposed development include:

                Sustainable Planning Act 2009;
