Response to Outstanding Issues - 65-67 Elanda Street, Sunshine Beach

Item 1
  Council’s Assets team have advised that there is no support for the stormwater
  installation in council’s road reserve. It is noted there is a connection point in Pacific
  Ave and this point seems more logical than the Henderson St connection point.
  However, it seems that the Pacific Ave connection is limited in downstream capacity.
  Therefore, as previously suggested in the initial prelodgement advice, you will need to
  provide an amended stormwater management plan that caters for on site disposal,
  which is how all other properties deal with their stormwater. If your engineers deem it
  necessary to discharge some stormwater to the street, there will need to be some
  analysis and solution that address the limited capacity downstream. From a planning
  point of view, above ground detention tanks (as currently proposed) along the side of
  the building where it is contrary to the submitted landscape plan and our policy cannot
  be supported either – there is no opportunity for landscape buffering at all.

Response
A revised Stormwater Management Plan has been prepared by WC Designs. The design
involves a series of field inlet pits and two 7,000L underground water tanks for the
purposes of collecting and storing roof water. Stormwater runoff from the site is proposed
to be discharged to the proposed soakage trenches located at the rea of the property.

The tanks are proposed to be located under the alfresco areas of the two external units,
refer to Figure 1 below.
