SC7440 – Goodchap St, Noosa                                                                                      8




Under the proposed conditions, the site was ‘split’ into three land use catchment nodes; the roofed area,
driveways and ground level uses. The pollutant export parameters utilised were based on the Urban
Residential pollutant loads, refer Tables 3.4 & 3.5. The pollutants have been generated stochastically in the
modelling scenario.

3.3.3.1 Rainfall Data
Rainfall data for the site was chosen to give the best representation of actual conditions. A time period of
10 years between 1973 and 1983 was selected from the Cooroy Composite station, using a six minute time
step. The Mean Annual Rainfall for this period is 1595mm, and the Mean Annual ET is 1201mm. See
attached Appendix B for details.
