Response to Information Request 20220004 -Tunba Court
Attached to the e-mail Response to Information Request OPW21/0355 - 36 Tunba Court, Cooroy Mountain.
PO5
Stormwater drainage infrastructure is aligned to avoid crossing waterways,
wetlands, drainage lines and ecological important areas, or where it is
demonstrated this is unavoidable, disturbed areas are reinstated and revegetated
upon completion of works.
PO6
Development is located, designed, constructed and operated to protect and
enhance environmental values and water quality of waterways, wetlands, lakes,
ground waters and drainage systems.
The drainage infrastructure proposed for the development does not cross waters ways,
wetlands, drainage lines and ecologically important areas. Drainage characteristics
downstream of the proposed development will be sufficiently similar to pre-development
conditions as described above, with the proposed outlet for the development into a gully
to which existing flows currently are collected. Additionally, disturbed areas arising from
the earthworks are to be stabilised with grass seeding after construction to minimise
sediment losses from the proposed development and maintain the water quality of the
downstream receiving water.
The environmental values and water quality of the receiving waters will be maintained
through the provision of erosion and sediment controls during construction in accordance
with the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan submitted with the application. Post
construction, stabilising of disturbed areas to minimise any risk of ongoing water quality
impacts from the earthworks.
PO10
Development prevents increased bed and bank erosion and sedimentation in
receiving waterways by avoiding changes in low rate, peak flow run-off and flow
duration.
An assessment of the estimated peak flows from the pre-development area and from the
earthworks pad was carried out to determine the impacts arising to peak flows for
different storm events using the rational method to provide an indication of the scale of
the change. A summary of the comparison is provided below – refer to the attached
calculations for further detail.
