  1.0 INTRODUCTION

          GENERAL

  Future-Plus Environmental (FPE) have been engaged to carry out a land suitability assessment for onsite
  wastewater treatment and effluent disposal with respect to a proposed campsite on land described as Lot
  650 on M37380, Lot 394 on M371117 and Lot 7 on RP216403 at 48 Kabi Road, Cootharaba.

  The applicant seeks to develop the existing allotments into a campsite. A concept layout plan has been
  prepared by Elevation Architecture and has been included as Appendix A.

  Lot 394 currently consists of an existing golf course and the associated clubhouse. Lot 7 currently contains
  two free standing structures (maintenance sheds) and Lot 650 does not have any infrastructure. It is
  understood that the existing clubhouse will be upgraded during the development process, while no works
  are proposed for the existing maintenance sheds.

  The site for the proposed development in not currently serviced by reticulated sewer network, therefore
  the site is to be serviced via an on-site wastewater treatment and effluent disposal facility.

          OBJECTIVES
          ▪     To assess the suitability of the subject site for on-site wastewater treatment and disposal to
                be undertaken in a sustainable manner, taking into account the climatic, topographical,
                edaphic, and geo-hydrological characteristics prevalent on the sites;
          ▪     Identify any environmentally sensitive areas likely to be affected by wastewater treatment and
                disposal activities;
          ▪     Identify the level of treatment necessary and method of disposal considered most suitable for
                the site; and
          ▪     Identify and assess any potentially significant impacts on human health and the natural
                environment that may occur as a result of wastewater treatment and disposal options having
                regard to relevant legislative requirements.

          REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

  A number of legislative requirements relate to on-site wastewater treatment and disposal systems under
  Queensland legislation, along with various other standards and guidelines that may place constraints on
  the suitability of the site for on-site wastewater disposal. Those relevant to the proposed development
  include:
          ▪     Planning Act 2016;

  2.0 SITE ASSESSMENT

          GENERAL

  The assessments and recommendations contained in this Report are based on the site investigation
  carried out by Future-Plus Environmental on the 7th March 2022. A geotechnical investigation and
  permeability tests were carried out within the development area on the 23rd March 2022.


          PROPERTY DETAILS

  The proposed works are located within the suburb of Cootharaba. The allotments subject to assessment
  in this report are described as Lot 650 on M37380, Lot 394 on M371117 and Lot 7 on RP216403 as
  indicated on the Site Locality Plan in Figure 1 below:




  Figure 1. Site Locality Plan. Source: Qld Globe 2022

          TOPOGRAPHY

  The proposed area of development (cleared areas mostly within Lot 650 and Lot 394) have gentle
  undulating topography with the central portion of the site sloping towards a central drainage line, which



20 April 2022                               Land Suitability Report                                           3

  flows to the east, into a dam. The northern portion of the site drains in a northerly direction towards a large
  dam, with the southern portion of the site draining towards the south easter corner of lot 394.

  Slope typically range from 1-15% for the majority of site.

          SITE HYDROLOGY

  It is likely that the majority of rainfall on the site is absorbed into the soil. However, during extended periods
  of heavy rainfall, it is anticipated that excess rainfall not adsorbed into the soil profile will move to the
  lower areas of topographical relief via sheet flow. Excess rainfall from the northern portion of the allotment
  would likely migrate to the dam located within the northern portion of Lot 650. While the central portion of
  the site would drain towards the central drainage line, into the central dam, before flowing into the eastern
  portion of lot 394. Excess rainfall from the southern portion of the site will like flow into the eastern portion
  of lot 394.

          GEOLOGY

  The geology for the site and surrounding area is identified as arenite-mudstone, with Stratified unit
  (including volcanic and metamorphic).

          SUB-SURFACE CONDITIONS

  A preliminary geotechnical investigation for effluent disposal assessment was carried out within the
  subject development area on the 23rd March 2022. The investigation was carried out in accordance with
  the procedures outlined in AS1547:2012. A total of 4 boreholes were advanced across the site using a
  4WD mounted Auger. The results of the geotechnical assessment are provided in Table 1 below.

  The Borehole locations are shown in Appendix B of this report. A copy of the soil profile logs has been
  included as Appendix C.

  The soil profile across the proposed treated effluent irrigation areas were relatively uniform consisting of
  moderately/massively structured Silty Clay (Category 4/5) underlain by massively structured Silty Clay
  (Category 6).

          SOIL PERMEABILITY

  In addition to the soil borehole logs, two permeability tests were carried out using a constant head
  permeameter test to determine the actual permeability of the site soils. The recorded KSAT value is
  summarised in Table 2 below and the respective locations of each permeability test are shown on the
  borehole plan in Appendix B. The permeability test results indicate that the site soils generally comprise
  of a moderately structured Light Clay (Category 5) of low to moderate permeability at Borehole 1 and a
  massively structured medium to heavy Clay (Category 6) of low permeability at Borehole 3.

  During the site investigations, no permanent water table or seepage/perched groundwater was
  encountered within the boreholes, however moist soil conditions were noted in all four boreholes.

           ASSESSMENT OF SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS

  The soil, groundwater conditions, and percolation tests results at the site indicate that the site is suitable
  for on-site sewage. Groundwater or seepage was not observed between Natural Surface Level (NSL) to
  3.0 metres depth, at the time of inspection. In terms of on-site wastewater disposal, the soils must be free
  from the potential migration of effluent volumes to the regional or local water table.

  It is therefore noted that adequate vertical separation distances will be available for the subject allotment
  for on-site wastewater disposal to occur in accordance with the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater
  Code.

           SYSTEM SELECTION

  Based on the geotechnical characteristics at the site, it is anticipated that an on-site sewage treatment
  system can be designed for the proposed development. All wastewater generated would require treatment
  to a minimum advanced secondary standard.

  Typical quality criteria for advanced secondary treated effluent nominated in the AS1546.3 are
  summarised in Table 3.

           HYDRAULIC LOADING

  An indicative hydraulic loading has been calculated based on conceptual plan for the development which
  includes:

       ▪      Overnight population of 300 campers; and
       ▪      Overnight population of 20 staff members.

  The hydraulic loading for the proposed development has been estimated using Table H4 of AS1547:2012.
  This Guideline provides the most accurate assessment for flow rates from a campsite like this, and is
  based on the use of on-site roof water and dam water as the primary potable water sources.

  Indicative hydraulic loading based on this Guideline and type of the development activity has been
  adopted to calculate the average daily sewage flows resulting from the proposed development and is
  detailed in Table 4 below:

  Table 4: Calculated Hydraulic Wastewater Flows

                                     Sewage Flows per Table                              Equivalent

        Total Daily Sewage Flows and Equivalent Population             32,000 L/day         160



  Table 4 above shows that a total daily sewage flow calculated for the project of 32,000 L/day (160
  Equivalent Persons) will be generated as a result of the proposed development.

          APPROVAL PROCESS

  Based on the estimated hydraulic loading calculated in Section 3.3 above, the proposed development will
  trigger the need to obtain an Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA 63) approval from Department of
  Environment and Science due to the sites daily wastewater loading exceeding 21 equivariant persons.
  The ERA 63 application will be undertaken during the Building Approval (BA) phase of the development.

          TREATMENT SYSTEM

  Treatment of wastewater to a minimum of advanced secondary effluent quality in accordance with the
  Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code may be achieved by the installation of either an aerobic
  wastewater treatment system or biological sand filtration system.

          ADDITIONAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

  A number of other design considerations should be made in relation to the following key elements
  associated with this type of development.

  3.6.1     Grease Trap/s

  The installation of a suitably sized grease trap/s should be considered given the nature of the wastewater
  associated with the likely kitchen waste / blackwater to be generated by the development. The grease
  trap should then be adopted as part of the operation and maintenance of the facility and require regular
  inspection, service and maintenance.

  3.6.2     Peak Flows and Low Flows

  The selected wastewater treatment plant must be able to cope with periods of sustained high or peak
  loads and also periods of very low influent. During these times, appropriate flow balancing may be
  necessary in order to buffer against such extreme variable conditions.

  3.6.3     Pump Station/s

  Due to the site topography and positioning of the proposed development (as per Appendix A), one or
  more pump stations will be required to distribute raw effluent to the proposed sewerage treatment plant
  (estimated to be positioned in the southern portion of Lot 650 M37380 (subject to change)).

  3.6.4     Alarms and Early Warning Systems

  The installation of early warning systems into the proposed development sewerage infrastructure is vital.
  It is recommended that a high level and failure alarms with battery backup are considered as part of the
  overall design.

  3.6.5     Service and Maintenance

  The service and maintenance provider must attend and complete the required service and maintenance
  of the sewerage treatment plant on a minimum 3 monthly basis.

  4.0 LAND APPLICATION SYSTEM – EFFLUENT DISPOSAL

          DISPOSAL METHOD

  On the basis of the above assessment, a number of options are available for the disposal of advanced
  secondary treated wastewater on the proposed site. Due to the presence of poorly draining subsoils,
  conventional absorption trench or ETA (evapo-transpiration absorption) systems are not considered the
  most appropriate method for disposal of wastewater on the proposed allotment.

  In this case, the preferred method of disposal is a surface irrigation system.

          IRRIGATION SYSTEM DESIGN

  The disposal of effluent treated to an advanced secondary standard, may be achieved via surface
  irrigation system. Standard drawings of typical surface irrigation, is provided as Appendix D of this report.

  The design method used for sizing of the surface irrigation system can be calculated using the Design
  Irrigation Rate (DIR) calculation as set out in Table M1 of AS1547:2012.

  From Table M1 of AS1547:2012, the following Design Irrigation Rate’s (DIR) have been adopted for the
  proposed development.

  Table 5. Design Irrigation Rate for Application Systems

                           AS1547:2012 Soil Category          Design Irrigation Rate

                                  Soil Category 6                      2mm/day

  Based on a hydraulic loading of 32,000L/day, as specified in section 3.3 of this report, the minimum area
  required for disposal using an irrigation system has been illustrated below:

  Table 6. Minimum Required Irrigation Area

                                                            Irrigation Area as
                                    AS1547:2012 Soil          Determined by
                                        Category               Table M1 of
                                                               AS1547:2012

                                      Soil Category 6            16,000m2



  All irrigation piping is to be installed to a minimum depth of 150-250mm below the ground level and turfed.
  Where slopes exceed 10% and surface irrigation is adopted the disposal area will need to be terraced or

  bunded. The disposal area should also be planted with water tolerant turf or shrubs to maximise nutrient
  uptake and transpiration and reduce erosion potential.

  Adequate area is considered to be available on the proposed allotments to accommodate a suitable
  irrigation system allowing for relevant setback requirements. The required setback distances as
  nominated in the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code have been summarised in Table 6 of this
  report.

  It has been assumed that the irrigation area above the Q100 flood level. However, if effluent irrigation is
  to occur below the Q100 flood line, additional precautionary measures are to be considered, such as
  raised garden beds and higher standards of treatment should be considered.

  It is a standard requirement to have a reserve area set aside within the allotments in the event that
  problems occur with the operational effluent disposal area. The size of the allotments suggest that there
  will be sufficient space for a 100% reserve area on the site. An indicative Irrigation Area Layout Plan is
  shown in Appendix E.

            SETBACK DISTANCES

  The setback distances from the effluent disposal area shall comply with the Queensland Plumbing and
  Wastewater Code which is summarised below:

  Table 7. Recommended Setback Distances for Secondary and Advanced Secondary Effluent

          STORMWATER DRAINAGE

  Issues relating to surface flows may become prevalent within the disposal areas during extended periods
  of rainfall. Accordingly, it is recommended that a cut-off drain or diversion drain/mound is constructed
  upslope of the disposal areas to collect and divert any surface/subsurface waters away from the disposal
  area.

  All stormwater runoff from the roof of buildings and/or pavement areas associated with the development
  on the site should not be discharged in a concentrated form onto the disposal areas or neighbouring
  properties.

  5.0 CONCLUSION
  This report was conducted to assess the suitability of on-site wastewater treatment and effluent disposal
  for the proposed development of a campsite.

  On the basis of preliminary geo-technical investigations conducted on-site, the proposed development
  site is considered suitable for the on-site disposal of wastewater. All wastewater generated is to be treated
  to a minimum advanced secondary level.

  The allotment is capable of supporting an appropriately sized wastewater disposal area in accordance
  with the relevant setback distances. Details of the wastewater treatment and land application system are
  summarised below.

   Depth = mm below ground level.
   P = blows per 100mm penetration with an approved 9kg penetrometer.
   Notation such as (SP) refers to the soil description to Table A1 AS1726 ‘Guide to the description
   identification and classification of soils’.
   Solid lines represent sharp interface between different soil types. Dotted lines represent
   gradation form one soil type to another.
   Abbreviations used
   UTP - unable to penetrate, Bec. – becoming, N.S.L. – Natural Surface Level
   Med. – medium, MW - Moderately weathered
   EW - extremely weathered, Plast. - Plasticity
   No recovery means unable to extract samples from the base of the bore hole because the soil
   will not bind in the auger head.
   The colour of the soil is often abbreviated, for example Gy = grey Or = orange.

Depth = mm below ground level.

P = blows per 100mm penetration with an approved 9kg penetrometer.

Notation such as (SP) refers to the soil description to Table A1 AS1726 ‘Guide to the description
identification and classification of soils’.

Solid lines represent sharp interface between different soil types. Dotted lines represent
gradation form one soil type to another.

Abbreviations used

UTP - unable to penetrate, Bec. — becoming, N.S.L. — Natural Surface Level
Med. — medium, MW - Moderately weathered

EW - extremely weathered, Plast. - Plasticity

No recovery means unable to extract samples from the base of the bore hole because the soil
will not bind in the auger head.

The colour of the soil is often abbreviated, for example Gy = grey Or = orange.
