                                                                                       2008/1491



Currency
10.   The Development Permit for a material change of use lapses if the use has not happened by
      24 November 2012, unless an application to extend the currency is approved by Council.
Land Development
River Flooding
11.   All buildings proposed on site (and areas utilised for carparking purposes associated with the
      buildings) must be constructed to comply with Council’s Minimum Floor Height requirements
      as defined in Council’s Planning Scheme and on Council’s Planning Scheme Maps at the time
      of issue of the Building Permit.
      In this regard and as an indication only – the minimum floor height of all dwellings must be
      located above the level of 2.7m above AHD. These levels however are subject to change and
      verification must be made to Council’s Land Development Section prior to obtaining a Building
      Works Permit.

      The applicant should note that compliance with these levels does not necessarily require the
      site to be filled as an equal result can be achieved by suspending the lower levels of the
      building as opposed to filling. To this extent excessive filling should be avoided to prevent any
      impacts on neighbouring properties and minimum floor levels should be strictly adhered to
      without building higher than is actually needed to prevent flooding.
Kayak Storage Area
12.   Materials listed in Section 31 of the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy 1997 must not be
      stored and/or placed within the kayak storage area at any time.
Roof Water & Stormwater Drainage
13.   Roof runoff from any new dwelling must be directed to a rainwater storage system or tank that
      is installed to ensure water from the rainwater storage system or tank is used for external uses
      (such as watering gardens, irrigation, ornamental ponds, water features, topping-up swimming
      pools, outdoor cleaning, etc) and for internal (ground floor) use in washing machine cold taps
      and toilet cisterns. All rainwater tanks must be designed and installed in accordance with the
      Queensland Development Code (QDC) current at the time of building approval, and must be
      part of the plumbing application for approval. The location and capacity of the tanks must be
      clearly shown on the plans submitted for Building Works approval and any overflow must be
      directed to the road frontage.
14.   All stormwater drainage (including roof water overflow from the rainwater storage system)
      must be collected and discharged so there is no net increase in stormwater runoff from the
      site. Stormwater drainage permitted to drain from the site must be discharged to Council’s
      kerb & channel street drainage system in Witta Circle. Plans of the drainage design must be
      prepared by a Registered Professional Civil Engineer and submitted with the application for a
      Building Works Permit.
      The maximum discharge of stormwater drainage allowable to Council’s kerb & channel street
      drainage system at any one location is 25 litres/second.
15.   All site stormwater drainage must be by means of a gravity system.
Sewer Mains
16.   The site must be connected to Council’s existing sewerage reticulation systems and be
      constructed in accordance with Council’s standards and requirements at no cost to Council.
17.   The existing sewer main that traverses the site frontage and the ‘zone of influence’ (taken as
      the area within a 45-degree angle measured from the invert of the sewer main to the finished
      surface level) must be accurately located and determined by a licensed Surveyor and shown
      on all plans submitted for Building Works approval.
                                                                                      Page 3 of 9
