sited to—                                               for Operational Works are expected to
a) provide flood free access to premises and flood      address the issue of drainage and
free habitable areas;                                   stormwater runoff.
b) allow only minor, short term and infrequent
flooding of non-habitable areas;
c) ensure the protection of persons and property in
the event of a flood and power failure;
d) ensure drainage does not adversely impact upon
other premises; and
e) ensure filling, excavation or retaining structures
do not adversely impact upon other premises by—
i. causing ponding of water on the site or nearby
land; and
ii. increasing flooding, which adversely affects the
safety or use of any land upstream and
downstream; and
iii. adversely affecting the flow of water in any
overland flow path;
iv. adversely affecting the privacy or visual amenity
of surrounding properties.
