Applicant's Response to Council's-55 Doonella St

Information required by Council

    7    Provide preliminary surface and outlet levels for the bioretention devices, and demonstrate that water
         will not pond within the filter media, based on the final outlet level. Also demonstrate that the offsets
         to HAT specified in Table 7 of the Bioretention Technical Design Guidelines (Water by Design, 2014)
         are achieved.
    8    Provide an updated SWMP and MUSIC model which demonstrates compliance with AO6.1 of the
         Water Quality and Drainage Code
    9    Provide amended plans which either remove the pools or re-locate them to other areas of the site
         where the surface of the pool will be above the DFE and the pool structure will not cause a loss of
         floodplain storage.


Applicant’s response

Items 7 & 8

A stormwater management report and plans, prepared by Recor are provided as Attachment 1.

Briefly, the bio-basin has been removed and the proposed features such as litter baskets, tanks and the
swale are proposed. While the site is under the area thresholds of the SPP, the proposed measures are
practical for the site to minimise any impact on receiving waters.

Item 9

The loss of flood storage is insignificant and given the nature of the development (Dual occupancy) is not
considered necessary to relocate or model impact.
