Dear Sir or Madam,
RE: REQUESTTO CHANGE AN EXISTINGAPPROVAL IN ACCORDANCEWITH SECTION369
OF THE SUSTAINABLE PLANNING ACT 2009 - MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE
(PRELMINARY APPROVAL) - GREENWOOD GROVE ESTATE - LOT 28, GARNET
STREET,COOROY (LOT 28 ON SP230060)
[COUNCIL REFERENCE:132004.240018.6 (23689DA))
In relation to the above application for which a Permissible Change Approval was most
recently issued by Council on the 7'h April 2011, in accordance with Sections 369-372 of the
Sustainable Planning Act 2009, we request a further permissible change be made to the above
mentioned development approval.
Specifically, the following change is requested:
• Condition 65.1.2 - We request that following requirement be removed from the
conditions: The upgrading of Garnet Street shall also be designed to enable flood free
access to the site during a 1 in 10 year ARI flood event with a maximum trafficable depth
of 300mm for a 1 in 100 year ARI flood event and with the praduct of flow depth and
velocity being less than 0/4m2/s.
We understand that a recent meeting was held (on the 31" July 2014) between Council
and SMEC (project engineers) where the inability to achieve the aforementioned design
requirements was discussed in detail. A detailed understanding of the constraints
impacting the achievement of this condition requirement has been outlined within the
attached SMEC correspondence dated the 19th August 2014. We understand that
following this meeting Council was supportive of amending the aforemented Condition.
In addition to the above, we advise that a copy of this permissible change application has
been forwarded to SARA as a result of the Department of Transport & Main Roads (DTMR)
being a Concurrence Agency for the original application. ?

Attention: Mark Lewis,
RE: Changes To Existing Approval Conditions. OPW 12/0339
Further to our meeting with Council on 31 July 2014, on behalf of our client PEEl Limited, SMEC seek approval
from Council to amend Condition 65.1.2 of Application No. 132004.240018.6 (23689 DA).
This condition relates to the upgrading of Garnet Street to enable fiood free access to the site during a 1 in 10
year Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) flood event and trafficable access in a 1 in 100 year ARI fiood event
Further to the previously provided Hydrology and Water report (2014) titled "Garnet Street Culvert Upgrade
Hydraulic Assessment" the information below is provided to support the application to amend the current
conditions of approval.
Constraints associated with compliance with Current Approval Conditions
The current approval conditions in relation to the Greenwood Grove estate require the upgrade of Garnet
Street (Cooroy Creek crossing) to provide full immunity in a 10% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) rainfall
event and be safely trafficable during the 1% AEP rainfall event.
After detailed modelling and consideration of road geometry and drainage eiements, the following constraints
limit the ability to achieve compliance with the condition:-
1. Garnet Street in its existing formation provides flood mitigation. Alteration of road levels and pipe culvert
configuration must ensure non-worsening both upstream and downstream of Garnet street.
2. The ability to raise Garnet Street in combination with increased culverts to achieve the desired immunity
has limitations in the form of:-
a. Maintaining the sag point at Cooroy Creek;
b. Earthworks / embankment extents to be maintained within the road reserve;
c. Close proximity of Cooroy Creek immediately adjacent to the road reserve(bend upstream)
d. Changing existing overland flow paths and
e. Impact on adjoining private properties.
The most recent design (Refer updated Civil Drawings) proposes to raise Garnet Street to what is considered to
be the malCimum levels without changing or elCceeding the above mentioned limitations.
Given these constraints and limitations, configuration and sizing of culverts has been determined to limit non-
worsening of upstream and downstream conditions.

Current Inundation Times and Levels
The Hydrology and Water report (2014) titled "Garnet Street Culvert Upgrade Hydraulic Assessment" indicates
that currently Garnet Street experiences the following time of inundation and flow depths:-
Table 1- Current Inundation Times & Peak Flow Depths
Event Inundation time Peak Flow Depth (over Road)
2-Year ARI event (39% AEP) 6 hours 0.5m
10-Year ARI (10% AEP) 12 hours, 20 minutes 0.8m
lOO-Year AR111%AEP) 21 hours l.Om
Currently Garnet Street is not trafficable during any of these rainfall events and is inundated for extended
periods of time.
The most recent design being proposed and referenced in the Hydrology and Water report 12014) titled
"Garnet Street Culvert Upgrade Hydraulic Assessment" indicates significant improvement of times of
inundation and peak flood depths. Refer Tabie 2 below.
Table 2 - Proposed Inundation Times & Peak Flow Depths
Event I Inundation time Peak Flow Depth (over Road)
2-Year ARI event (39% AEP) Nil Nil
(Approximate 6 hour reduction)
10-Year ARI (10% AEP) 2 hours, 40 minutes 0.18m - Safely trafficable
(Approximate 10 hour reduction) (Peak Velocity-Depth Product = 0.121
100-Year ARI (1% AEP) 5 hours, 20 minutes 0.4m -
(Approximate 16 hour reduction) (Peak Velocity-Depth Product = 0.6)
(Refer Emergency Vehicle Access
references below)
Note that the above-mentioned improvements/reductions have been achieved with a blockage factor of 20%
applied to the existing and proposed culverts.
Emergency Vehicle Access
Reference is made to the Australian Emergency Manuals Series Part IV - Skills for Emergency Services
Personnel titled "Manual 8 - Four-Wheel-Dr;ve Vehicle Operation". Section 5.26 to .5.35 details the safe
operation of four wheel drive vehicles during a water crossing operation. This section discusses the required
preparation for deep water crossing whereby "If the water depth is greater than about 750mm, prepare the
vehicle as follows ..... :. This section of the manual indicates that four wheel drive emergency vehicles can safely
navigate through water crossings less than 750mm deep provided the velocity-depth product is less than
2
0.6m /sec.
The velocity.depth product of 0.6m2/sec is provided in Queensland Urban Drainage Manual (QUDM - 2013) and
described as "The praduct of depth d, and velocity v.~ In the kerb and channel should nat exceed O.6m'/sec
(Engineers Australia, 20l0) to reduce hazard for pedestrians within the roadway."
The modelling results identified in the Hydrology and Water report (2014) titled "Garnet Street Culvert Upgrade
Hydraulic Assessment" indicate that the most recent design case will incur flow depths of OAm and velocity-
depth product of 0.6m'/sec during the 1% AEP. On this basis, an emergency vehicle can safely negotiate Garnet
Street during a major storm event.

Bridge Option Analysis
Consideration has been given to a proposed bridge across Cooroy Creek however, this option has been
dismissed given the flood mitigation measures that are provided by the culverts.
The culverts in their proposed form will reguiate flows to ensure upstream and downstream conditions are
"balanced" to a point where non.worsening of private properties is achieved. The construction of a bridge
effectively removes this mitigation and has the potential to increase flooding downstream of Garnet Street.
Furthermore, given the substantial floodway width across Garnet Street and the physicai constraints of the
Ccoroy Creek alignment, construction of a bridge is not considered a viable option.
Blockage Factors
Queensland Urban Drainage Manual (QUDM - 2013) provides suggested a blockage factor of 0% for a clear
opening greater than 3.0m. Table 10.4.1 - Suggested blockage factars far culverts highlights that a design
blockage value of 20% should be assigned to culverts less than 3.0m in height or less than S.Omwidth.
A 20% blockage factor is considered appropriate given the culvert sizes and site characteristics and has been
adopted for modelling purposes by Hydrology and Water when undertaking the flood modelling analysis.
In accordance with best practice, a sensitivity test has also been carried out using a blockage factor of 50% in
order to gain an understanding of any additional flood risk associated with a higher blockage scenario. This
sensitivity test is documented in the Hydrology and Water report (2014) titled "Garnet Street Culvert Upgrade
Hydraulic Assessment".
Flood Impacts of the Revised Upgrade Design
As part of the Hydrology and Water report (2014) titled "Garnet Street Culvert Upgrade Hydraulic Assessmen('
a series of Peak Flood Level Impact maps have been provided for the 2.Year ARI (39% AEP), 10.Year ARI (10%
AEP) and 100.Year ARI (1% AEP) rainfali events. These maps show the increase and decrease in levels between
the most recent design scenario and existing scenario.
Caples of these results are located in Appendix C of the Hydrology and Water report (2014) and a summary
discussion of these results is provided below.
o The upgrade provides a significant improvement to the flood immunity of the Cooroy Creek crossing. The
current road crossing is un-trafficable in events as frequent as the 2 year ARI, while the revised upgrade
design wili remain trafficable during events up to the 10 year ARI. Road closure times during large flood
events will also be significantly reduced.
o The proposed works are predicted to reduce 2 year ARI flood levels upstream of Garnet Street by
approximately 200mm. Peak 2 year ARI flood leveis immediately downstream of Garnet Street reduce by
up to 90mm.
o The proposed works are predicted to reduce 10 year ARI flood levels upstream of Garnet Street by
approximately 20 to SOmm. Peak 10 year ARI flood levels immediately downstream of the Garnet Street
culverts reduce by up to 1oomm. There is also a localised peak flood level impact of approximately
100mm located over the sporting fields immediately downstream of the proposed western culverts. The
10 year ARI impact map shows flood level increases over Garnet Street which is due to the proposed
raising of this road. It is noted that while flood levels over the road have increased, peak fiood depths over
the road have actually reduced due to the elevated road level.
o There are some localised peak flood level impacts for the 100 year ARI event of up to 20mm upstream of
the Garnet Street road reserve. These impacts are contained over a vacant, low-lying bushland site which
is already subject to peak 100 year ARI depths in the existing case of generally between 0.5 to 1m. There is
also a localised peak flood level impact of approximately 180mm located over the sporting fields
immediately downstream of the proposed western cuiverts.
o The upgraded crossing is not predicted to be trafficable for regular vehicles during a 100 year ARt flood
