Dear Scott

RE:     PROPOSED COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
        AT LOT 11 RENE STREET, NOOSAVILLE
        RESPONSE TO COUNCIL INFORMATION REQUEST
        (Ref: MCU15/0005)




Please find enclosed our partial response to Item 3 of Noosa Council’s Information
Request (reference: MCU15/0005) dated 24/02/2015 for inclusion in your combined
response. The issues refer to the subdivision development on Lot 11 SP230643 at
11/100 Rene Street, Noosaville.


Issue #3: Stormwater
The higher order approval applicable to the original subdivision is
MCU2007/1841.Condition 59 required a revised Stormwater Management Plan to be
provided with the subsequent Operational Works approval to achieve pollutant reduction
targets necessary to protect downstream ecology. This Stormwater Management Plan
was accepted and approved in the subsequent Operational Works Approval
OPW2009/42. Approved Drawing BM080320 B10 by VDM Consulting, dated 17
November 2011 shows the subject allotment required a bioretention area of 9.0m2 along
with a rainwater harvesting tank to achieve consistency with the approved Stormwater
Management Plan.
The current proposal states that water quality treatment is not required due to the size of
the site. It is acknowledged that the State Planning Provisions only require water quality
treatment devices on allotments that exceed 2500m2. However, this management
detailed in the State Planning Policy is for developments that are already zoned for
particular development. At the time the subdivision and use was approved on this
particular allotment, it was on the provision that the downstream ecology would not be
impacted. The original applicant demonstrated the downstream ecology would not be
impacted by water quality changes via implementation of stormwater quality treatments
detailed on Approved Drawing BM080320 B10 by VDM Consulting, dated 17 November
2011.
