    -   Proposed development works will not result in significant increases to peak water
        levels within existing overland flow paths.


    -   Recent changes to the local area planning provisions have resulted in downzoning
        of adjacent allotments. These properties are zoned Environmental Management
        and Conservation and will not be subject to future development. The proposed
        development works may be considered a one-off modification to the local
        catchment.


This approach is also considered to satisfy Section 3.9.1 of the Queensland Urban
Drainage Manual (QUDM 2016), which describes the lawful point of discharge test. The
first part of the criteria for determining the lawful point of discharge is;


    i) Will the proposed development alter the site’s stormwater discharge
        characteristics in a manner that may substantially damage a third party property?


            •   If not, then no further steps are required to obtain tenure for a lawful point
                of discharge (assuming any previous circumstances and changes were
                lawful).


            •   If there is a reasonable risk of such damage, then consider issue (ii) or (iii).
