  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:
