1.       INTRODUCTION
This report is provided in response to an Information Request for the MCU application –
Animal Husbandry Type 2 – Intensive and MCU for an Environmentally Relevant Activity
(ERA 4 – Poultry Farming) at 136 Top Forestry Road, Ridgewood for the Sunshine Coast
Regional Council. The Information request required:

     1. An Integrated Stormwater Management Plan that addresses the Noosa Plan - Water
        Sensitive Design Code, and
     2. A stormwater impact assessment and site based stormwater management plan, to
        identify potential water pollutants, proposed treatment trains and provision to address
        the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy 2008.

This report aims to address the concerns highlighted by Council and will assess the
proposed poultry farm against the following guidelines:

     •   Water Sensitive Design Code – the Noosa Plan
     •   Water Sensitive Urban Design Technical Design Guidelines for South East
         Queensland, published by Healthy Waterways
     •   Environmental Protection (Water) Policy 2008.

The Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualization (MUSIC) has been used to
assess the suitability of various stormwater treatment devices and to model existing and
predicted pollution export loads and concentrations from the developed area of the site.
