Appeal 26-042 - Lodgement Documents

                 1.     This development permit may trigger an 'Adopted Infrastructure Charge Notice' (if
                        applicable) to be issued in accordance with Councils 'Adopted Infrastructure Charges
                        Resolution (No.1) 2011' under the State Planning Regulatory Provision (Adopted
                        Charges) and the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.
                 E&SC Advice Notes
                 2.     In this document, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that does not:
                        2.1. have visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion or
                        2.2. lead to sedimentation, or
                        2.3. - lead to water contamination.
                 3.     Diverting clean stormwater runoff into a sediment basin is an inferior option to diverting
                        clean stormwater around or through the site because it will cause an increase in the
                        volume and frequency of contaminated releases from the sediment basin. For this
                        reason, diverting clean stormwater into a sediment basin is not acceptable unless the
                        proponent demonstrates that diverting clean stormwater around or through the site is
                        not feasible.
                 4.     Compensatory controls are erosion controls, flow controls and sediment controls which
                        compensate for the lack of sediment basin and are applied such that the type, timing,
                        placement and management of controls minimise the potential for water contamination
                        and environmental harm. This is primarily achieved by reducing the risk of erosion and
                        subsequent sediment release, for example by turfing or mulching and managing
                        concentrated flows in the area.
                 5.     Research has shown that sediment basins designed on a “batch” or total storm capture
                        approach are only capable of treating a small percentage of the annual runoff volume
                        without basin size becoming excessive. Innovation in sediment basin design to
                        incorporate continuous flow treatment is likely to occur in the future and as this
                        technology becomes available in best practice guidelines it is required that this
                        technology be adopted where a better water quality outcome will result. In the interim
                        the minimum basin size is as specified in the condition.
                 6.     Dewatered flows from sediment basins must be treated to ensure total suspended solids
                        concentrations of less than 50mg/L and that pH is within 6.5-8.5 unless it can be
                        demonstrated that a non-compliant release occurred to facilitate a better environmental
                        outcome. For example, higher total suspended solids concentrations may be acceptable
                        in circumstances where further rain is imminent and it can be substantiated that
                        releasing partially treated basin water which has a TSS concentration exceeding the
                        release limit, would minimise the total contamination released from the site, by providing
                        for the capture and treatment of expected runoff. However, releasing waters from
                        sediment basins without treatment is not acceptable.
                 7.     The applicant is advised that a Compliance Permit for all plumbing and drainage works
                        within the boundaries of the development site must be obtained from Council’s Plumbing
                        Services Section prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Building Works.
                        Equitable Access and Facilities
                 8.     The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance with
                        the requirements of the Building Code of Australia – Part D3 as they relate to people
                        with disabilities. Your attention is also directed to the fact that in addition to the
                        requirements of the Building Code of Australia – Part D3 as they relate to people with
                        disabilities, one or both of the following may impact on the proposed building work:
                          (a)          the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth); and
                          (b)          Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland).
