                  Noosa Flexi Learning Centre Stormwater Management Plan
                  August 2012



                  1 INTRODUCTION
                  This stormwater management plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements
                  for Site Based Stormwater Management Plans as outlined in the Urban Stormwater Planning
                  Guidelines (DERM 2010) as referenced under the State Planning Policy 4/10 Healthy
                  Waters.

                  It described the stormwater strategy for the site and considers erosion and sediment control,
                  stormwater management (water quality and hydrology), and flooding, and has been prepared
                  to support a Development Application for the site. Key details about the site are listed in
                  Table 1 below.

                  The Noosa Flexi-Learning Centre aims to create a welcoming and distinctly un-institutional
                  learning environment for disenfranchised and disengaged youth in the Noosa Region. The
                  design response is to create a beach-house style environment which minimises its impact on
                  the site, as well as on the planet’s resources.

                  The young people that will use the centre are approaching life with few privileges. By
                  creating a learning environment that embodies great sustainability features, the design team
                  hopes to provide accelerated opportunities for them to understand and interact with the types
                  of environmental knowledge that we believe will be important to the world they are inheriting.
                  Such learning opportunities can help build their pride, self-confidence and a sense of
                  purpose.

                  The stormwater management strategy helps create such a place by:
                     • Preserving the natural hydrology across most of the site by building on piers, and
                         minimizing soil compaction during construction.
                     • Harvesting rainwater and using a prominent elevated rainwater tank that both
                         symbolizes the responsible use of water and reduces the electricity needed for
                         pumping.
