Att11 - Land Suitability (effluent) Report

FPE Ref: 6195-220404-1.0




  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;
