         *The catchment impervious area to the central pond is consistent with MUSIC modelling areas and Fi values.

A continuous modelling approach was also undertaken using daily output from MUSIC modelling over the same 30-year
period. Using the more detailed approach, the 20th percentile HRT was determined to be 9 days, which also achieves the
required objective.

Therefore based on both the simplistic and continuous modelling approaches the Hydraulic Residence Time for the pond
will be below 15 days. This demonstrates that the required performance objective will be met.

If the water quality of the pond is found to be poor, recirculation of flows through the WQCP could be provided to increase
the turnover of water within the pond.

4.4.4.4 PROPRIETARY GROSS POLLUTANT TRAP (GPT)

A proprietary (GPT) is proposed upstream of large catchments (above 5ha) or significant areas of car parking areas
before discharging to the proposed Bioretention Basins. While GPT’s are proposed upstream of the Central Basin,
Southern Basin and Bio-Pod D2 they have not been modelled. This will make the results more conservative, as GPT’s
will capture gross pollutants and some sediments.

4.5       MUSIC MODELLING RESULTS
        This section has been updated to reflect revised modelling method and results recently approved by Council
        Officer Cherie O’Sullivan. Refer to email correspondence provided in Appendix I. Results for the updated
        modelling is presented in Table 4-6 below.

        The above results were approved by Council as meeting the required WQO’s.
