            Dear Andrew Gaffney,

            Attention:                          Mr Andrew Gaffney
            Dear Sir,

                          Re:                     MCU - Information Request - Engineers Letter
                          At:                     203 – 207 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville QLD 4566

            With reference to the abovementioned project, RECOR’S stormwater management report
            (20230025-SWMP01, Date: 30/05/2024, Rev 1) and upon review of the Information Request
            issued by Noosa Council (Reference: MCU24/0074, Date: 08/07/2024), RECOR have
            included a summary response to the information request items below. The civil design have
            been revised as required to reflect these addressed items and have been attached to this
            letter.

            Please note, the civil drawings now reflect the latest revised architectural drawings by Arkos
            Architects (Project No. 2404, Date: 12.12.2024, Issue: A).

                    •   Item 23 – The drawings have been updated to include the new bioretention basin
                        location and size.

                    •   Item 28 – The drawings have been revised to include the updated carpark,
                        motorcycle and loading bay dimensions and turning circles (swept paths) for B99
                        vehicles only.

                    •   Item 33 – The drawings have been revised to include commentary notes advising
                        that commercial waste will be taken in wheelie bins to Thomas street every morning
                        and residential waste will be taken via wheelie bins once a week to Albert street. No
                        waste vehicles will require access to site.

                    •   Item 34 to 36 - commentary on how the performance of the water quality and
                        drainage code has been addressed has been outlined below:

            As the proposed development site is greater than 2,500m2 in area, the development will
            be required to meet water quality design objectives outlined in the State Planning Policy
            (2017) and Council’s Water Quality and Drainage Code (2020). The proposed development

            site will be required to achieve the following design objectives for operational stormwater
            quality.

                                    Table 1 - Operational Water Quality Objectives

              Pollutant                                            Percentage Reduction Target (%)

              Total Suspended Solids (kg/yr)                       80

              Total Phosphorus (kg/yr)                             60

              Total Nitrogen (kg/yr)                               45

              Gross Pollutants (kg/yr)                             90



            Water Quality Modelling

            Details of the proposed treatment train are provided in RECOR’S SWMP. Further details of
            the proposed devices and preliminary sizing are provided below. Locations of the
            proposed devices are shown on the revised civil drawings.

            Bioretention Basin

            Table B in Appendix 2 of the State Planning Policy (2017) states that “In lieu of modelling,
            the default bio-retention treatment area to comply with load reduction targets for all
            Queensland regions is 1.5 per cent of the contributing catchment area”. MUSIC modelling
            has not been undertaken for sizing of the proposed bioretention basin. The proposed
            bioretention basin has been sized at 1.5% of the contributing catchment area in lieu of
            MUSIC modelling.

            It is proposed to provide a bioretention basin design for this project generally in
            accordance with the following typical section.

            The bioretention basins will be designed in accordance with Water By Design’s Bioretention
            Technical Design Guidelines (2014). Planting will be provided in accordance with Council’s
            requirements.

            Atlan Basin

            The Atlan Basin is an advanced prefabricated, compact and self-contained stormwater
            treatment system that provides similar treatment to a bioretention area.

            Preliminary sizing was requested from Atlan for the proposed Atlan Basin. Atlan undertake
            their own in-house MUSIC modelling and provide recommended sizing for their products
            to meet the required water quality objectives. Attached in Appendix A is a drawing of the
            recommended unit. Below is a typical detail of the proposed unit.




                                             Figure 2 -Atlan Basin Typical Detail

            Atlan have recommended that their Stormsack product is installed to all inlet pits upstream
            of the Atlan Basin to collect Gross Pollutants at source.

            The Atlan Basin is a SQIDEP certified device having treatment efficiency that meets the SPP
            water quality objectives. Below is output provided by Atlan from their MUSIC model for this
            particular site. The modelling indicates that the proposed unit meets the water quality
            objectives for the site.

            Atlan Hydrochannel

            The Hydrochannel is an insert that can be placed inside a channel grated drain of 300mm
            wide, and at least 450mm deep. It is designed for areas that would benefit from at source
            stormwater treatment, which would otherwise be bypassed. This allows stormwater from
            high traffic areas (car parks and roads), industrial areas and metal roofs to be cleaned at site
            level, and then discharged locally.

            The Atlan Hydrochannel is a SQIDEP certified device having treatment efficiency as shown
            in Table 2.

                                           Table 2- Tested Treatment Efficiencies

              Pollutant                                            Efficiency (%)

              Total Suspended Solids (kg/yr)                       88

              Total Phosphorus (kg/yr)                             69

              Total Nitrogen (kg/yr)                               67

              Gross Pollutants (kg/yr)                             100



            The hydrochannel is proposed to capture and treat runoff from the driveway area. A surface
            solution is required in this location due to limited cover and depth to invert of existing
            downstream drainage pipes.

                    •   Item 37 to 39 – Upon review, there is a none net worsening of site conditions in
                        regards for potential flooding when comparing existing to the new development
                        finished ground levels. All surface drainage is directed towards new on site drainage
                        pits connected to the existing stormwater system and or overland flow is directed to
                        existing kerb and channels.

                    •   Item 40 and 41 – The drawings have been revised to include an updated
                        earthworks layout.

            Trusting the above is to your satisfaction and should further information be required please

   Conditions            The limitations of the acceptance of these claims include;
                            • The results are for a road-based catchment. The results lie within acceptable inflow
                                limits for this type of catchment and based on the analysis are found to be acceptable.
                                This does not necessarily relate to other catchment types, though it noted that hard
                                stand catchments will behave similarly. Cleaner, roof catchments
                                may not achieve the same pollutant reduction targets;
                            • The results are for a hydraulic loading rate up to 250m/year. Should the hydraulic load
                                rate exceed this, the results and life expectancy of the media would be expected to
                                decline in line with excessive loading on the device;

                            • The life expectancy of the device and the media is unknown. In discussions with the
                                 manufacturer the testing is consistent to at least the 6 year mark. It is suggested that
                                 an estimated lifespan of both media and the whole device be written into any technical
                                 guidelines as the filter material will deteriorate over time;
                            • The acceptance of these results is reliant on the installation being similar to that shown
                                 in this analysis. Alternative installations may result in different outcomes;

                            • If the media is observed to not fully drain down to its lowest level within 2 hours
                                 following an event, investigate the media permeability, and if required replace media.

   Conditions            The limitations of the acceptance of these claims include:
                         • The results are for a road based catchment. The results lie within acceptable
                           inflow limits for this type of catchment and based on the analysis are found to
                           be acceptable. This does not necessarily relate to other catchment types,
                           though it is noted that hard stand catchments will behave similarly. Cleaner,
                           roof catchments may not achieve the same pollutant reduction targets.
                         • The results are for a hydraulic loading rate up to 0.5 L/s per metre module.
                           Should the hydraulic load rate exceed this, the results would be expected to
                           decline in line with excessive loading on the device.
                         • The results are reliant on the maintenance of the device being consistent with
                           the manufacturers guidelines and those that are contained in the report.

                         • The Hydrochannel media is estimated to have an effective life of 1 year. It is
                           suggested that a 12 month maintenance cycle include replacement of the
                           media.
                         • Performance is contingent upon the installation being similar to that shown in
                           this trial. Alternative installations may result in different outcomes.

     Test Stormwater         21 compliant stormwater events. Water chemistry was compliant with Table 1 in
     Runoff                  SQIDEP v1.3. Minimum number of aliquots collected, and samples were
                             representative.



     Test Catchment      -   The field testing for the ATLAN Stormsack (200) was carried out at Griffith University,
                             Carpark H, Parkland Campus, Griffith Way, Southport, QLD, 4215.
                         -   The catchment area draining to the device was reported to be 1,181 m2 directly connected
                             to the Stormsack. The catchment was reported to be 66% impervious with the remainder
                             including a eucalyptus forested area which drains to the Stormsack.




     Maintenance             The Stormsack should be cleaned/maintained when accumulated pollutants reach
     Performed during        the trigger level of 150mm depth in the bag, or 50% capacity by volume.
     monitoring
                             The monitored Stormsack was maintained twice during the SQIDEP monitoring
                             program due to construction loads received from earthworks undertaken in the
                             upstream catchment. Regular inspection of the Stormsack is recommended, as per
                             the manufacturer’s O&M manual.
