Appendix C - Engineering Report

Stormwater runoff currently discharges to existing well defined flow paths and existing
stormwater infrastructure located in Reserve Street. The site accepts stormwater runoff
from upstream external catchment to the west and north.


It is proposed to maintain the existing drainage regime and direct development site
stormwater runoff to these existing discharge points via appropriate flow dissipation and
scour protection devices (where required). The existing well defined overland flow paths
and existing stormwater infrastructure located in Reserve Street are considered to
represent the legal points of discharge for the subject site and minor upstream external
catchments based on the following;


   -   The existing waterways downstream of the site are heavily vegetated. No
       discernible adverse impacts will result from proposed development works.


   -   The existing waterways area are not utilised by downstream property owners for
       either rural/agricultural or residential purposes. No nuisance or loss of enjoyment
       will result from proposed development works.


   -   Proposed development works will not result in significant increases to peak water
       levels within existing overland flow paths.


   -   Recent changes to the local area planning provisions have resulted in downzoning
       of adjacent allotments. These properties are zoned Environmental Management
       and Conservation and will not be subject to future land development. The
       proposed development works may be considered a one-off modification to the
       local catchment.
