                                                                                          2008/242



Roof Water & Stormwater Drainage
22.   All on-site stormwater (including roof water overflow from the rainwater storage system) shall
      be disposed of on-site via an infiltration system and in a manner that does not compromise the
      stability of the site, any existing services, any existing vegetation and any adjoining properties.
      The location and capacity of the infiltration system shall be clearly shown on the plans
      submitted for Building Works / Operational Works approval.
23.   Roof runoff from any new dwelling shall be directed to a rainwater storage system or tank
      (minimum storage 5000 litres per detached dwelling) that is installed to ensure water from the
      tank is used for external uses (such as watering gardens, irrigation, ornamental ponds, water
      features, topping-up swimming pools, outdoor cleaning, etc) and for use in flushing of toilets
      internal to the dwelling. All rainwater tanks are to be wholly contained within the Building
      Envelope as shown on the approved Plan of Development. All rainwater tanks are to be
      designed and installed in accordance with the Queensland Development Code (QDC), and
      shall be part of the plumbing application in conjunction with the building approval. The
      location and capacity of the tanks shall be clearly shown on the plans submitted for Building
      Works /Operational Works approval and any overflow shall be directed to the stormwater
      infiltration system.
      All stormwater drainage (including roof water overflow from the rainwater storage system)
      shall be collected and discharged so there is no net increase in stormwater runoff from the
      site.
24.   All site stormwater drainage shall be by means of a gravity system.
Sewer Mains
25.   The site shall be connected to Council’s existing sewerage reticulation systems and be
      constructed in accordance with Council’s standards and requirements at no cost to Council.
Town Water Supply
26.   The site shall be connected to Council’s existing town water supply and be constructed in
      accordance with Council’s standards and requirements at no cost to Council.
27.   Each individual water connection to the water reticulation system shall extend to the property
      boundary and be metered. All fees for the supply of water meters shall be paid to the Council.
28.   All water meters must be located outside the property boundary and in an easily assessable
      location to facilitate unhindered reading by Council and/or Council’s contracted water meter
      readers, and not behind fences or locked gates. In this regard approval of the water meter
      configuration and location must be obtained from Council’s Water & Sewerage Capital Works
      Manager prior to lodgement and approval of hydraulic drawings.
Earthworks
29.   Earthworks required on site shall be carried out in accordance with Section 3.8 of Council’s
      Engineering Design Standards Manual and so as not to cause the additional ponding of water
      on any adjoining lands or the blockage of, or interference with, any natural watercourses.
30.   Excavation of the site and the construction of the proposed works shall not have any adverse
      affects on the stability of adjoining buildings and/or structures and/or services and/or lands. In
      this regard a Registered Professional Engineer Queensland shall supervise the excavation of
      the site and the construction of the new works to determine whether any additional measures
      are required to protect the stability of adjoining buildings and/or structures and/or services
      and/or lands.
31.   Earthworks carried out on site shall not affect the structural integrity of any of the existing
      fences that border the development site. Fences that are affected shall be replaced prior to
      the Building Certifier issuing the Certificate of Classification. In this regard any fences to be
      replaced shall be clearly shown on the plans submitted for Operational Works approval.
