Transport, Roads, and Drainage Code

This development proposes two low density scale residences to an existing neighbourhood access
street. The access locations and type are to be consistent with Council’s standard driveway crossover
drawings IPWEAQ RS-049 and IPWEAQ RS-050. This is consistent with other properties surrounding
the development site.


Drainage will consist of discharge to the kerb and channel in Margit Crescent via kerb adaptor in the
same manner as the existing use of the site. The development is of similar size and site coverage to
the allowable design case for the land zoning so there will be sufficient capacity in the downstream
stormwater network to accept the post development stormwater discharge from the subject site.


Waste Management Code

This development proposes to include a general waste and co-mingled recyclables bin for each
dwelling consistent with the requirements for a dwelling house in the planning scheme. These are to
be 240L bins for each use and managed via kerbside collection, consistent with other dwelling on
Margit Crescent


Water Sensitive Design Code

The development scale is less than 2,500m2 as prescribed in the Qld SPP (2017) Appendix 2 Table
B, which is the trigger for a stormwater quality treatment train specifically modelled to manage the
post development water quality objectives for new developments in SEQ. The subject site is 635m2.
The subject site mitigates pollutant and runoff of suspended solids by compliance with the driveways
and car parking code in that internal paved driveway areas are to be sloped towards vegetated
garden beds to drain sediment and particulate bound nutrients into softscape areas and disconnect
them form the downstream drainage infrastructure in the street.
