     The role and function of the existing farm dams is to be extended to form part of the
     stormwater management plan. In addition to the more functional elements, the water bodies
     will provide an aesthetic element in the landscape proposals.

4.8 Stormwater Management

     A stormwater management plan for the site has been prepared by Brown Consulting – refer
     to Attachment 4. The management plan allows for the redesign of the existing dams to
     increase the storage capacity and to incorporate quality control measures. Stormwater from
     the detention basins will be used as part of the irrigation of the landscape areas around the
     site.

4.9 Water Sensitive Design Elements

     The site is within a designated rainwater tank area. A communal tank system is proposed for
     the capture and reuse of rainwater from the buildings within the site. An initial assessment of
     minimum requirements has been undertaken by Brown Consulting. The rainwater will be
     collected and then reticulated back to the units/apartments primarily for the use in toilets and
     washing machines. Allowance will be made for external usage. The final sizing and location
     of the tanks will be determined at the detailed design stage. Subject to economies of scale,
     larger tanks may be installed to minimise demand on mains supply and to maximise
     opportnites for reuse of water for irrigation of the landscape areas.

4.10 Gas Pipeline

     Buildings have been located so that they do not encroach within the nominated 200 metre
     buffer area as defined on the Natural Resources Overlay Map OM 3.5.

4.11 Staging of Development
     Development on the site will be undertaken in a number of stages.

     Initially bulk earthworks will likely be undertaken as a single stage with detailed civil works
     undertaken in two parts. Civil works for stages A and B will be first completed to enable
     building works to be commenced. The civil contractor will then progress to completion of the
     balance of the requisite works.

     Construction of the independent living units will commence in the north and then be
     progressed to the south to limit the intrusion of construction traffic into the occupied village
