2. Lawful Point of Discharge
In accordance with Queensland Urban Drainage Manual (QUDM 2016) section 3.4, a Lawful
Point of Discharge (LPD) must be demonstrated when proposing a development. Section
3.4.1 outlines a two-point test to assess whether a lawful point of discharge exists for a
development that consists of the following:

    (i)       The location of the discharge is under the lawful control of the local government
              or other statutory authority from whom permission to discharge has been
              received. This will include park, drainage or road reserve, stormwater drainage
              easement


    (ii)      In discharging to that location, the discharge will not cause an actionable
              nuisance (i.e. a nuisance for which the current or some future neighbouring
              proprietor may bring an action or claim for damages arising out of the nuisance),
              or environmental or property damage.

Currently, the site discharges stormwater naturally to the east downstream area, the
proposed LPD maintains the same discharge strategy. Surface runoff will flow towards east
of the site as sheet flow as it currently does; while the roof water will be mitigated first, and
spread by the proposed soakage trench, then discharged to the east as sheet flow.
