It can be observed that the proposed development shall produce a maximum of 16L/s
increase in flow discharge from storm events up to 1% AEP, which may cause actionable
nuisances to the vicinity of the development site. Hence, on-site stormwater detention
devices are necessary for the proposed development, so that the peak flow from the Post-
development scenario can be no greater than the Pre-development scenario.

To validate the modelling results above, Rational Method is also applied to estimate the
discharge, detailed calculation is presented in Appendix E. Table 3.4 summarises the peak
flows of various storm events.
