ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                     20 NOVEMBER 2014


           a.    Where is considered effective and practical all roof runoffs should be directed to
                 water tanks with overflows and surcharge be discharged into a lawful point of
                 discharge.
           b.    Stormwater detention to cater for all flows from the outdoor areas and any
                 possible stormwater surcharge from the roof drainage system during heavy
                 rainfall events to maintain predevelopment stormwater runoff, and to address
                 any potential of adverse impact by the development on the existing drainage
                 conditions on other properties.
           c.    Plans submitted for operational works approval must include bioretention which
                 demonstrates that stormwater runoff shall be treated to achieve 80% Reduction
                 in Total Suspended Solids, 60% Reduction in Total Phosphorous and 45%
                 Reduction in Total Nitrogen prior to discharge from the site compared to if there
                 was no water pollutant mitigation incorporated into the design.
           d.    Where biobasins are proposed on site to achieve compliance with the above
                 Reduction parameters, calculations to determine filter media area and detail
                 design must be consistent with current best practice methods as detailed in the
                 Bioretention Technical Design Guidelines Version 1, October 2012.
           e.    Bioretention basins must include 1:4 batters between the dedicated filter media
                 area and the surrounding ground surface. Batters are not included within filter
                 media footprint area calculation.
           f.    Bioretention basin layout and setting must be consistent with landscape design
                 for the site.
     15.   Stormwater runoff from the development must be disposed of on-site without causing
           scour or damage to the subject site or any adjoining property.
           Advisory Notes
           Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
           There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan
           and/or obtain approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACH
           Act).
           The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: “A
           person who carries out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures
           to ensure the activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage”. It is an offence to
           fail to comply with the duty of care. Substantial monetary penalties may apply to
           individuals or corporations breaching this duty of care. Injunctions may also be issued
           by the Land and Resources Tribunal, and the Minister administering the ACH Act can
           also issue stop orders for an activity that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal
           cultural heritage or the cultural heritage value of Aboriginal cultural heritage. You
           should contact the Cultural Heritage Co-ordination Unit on 07 3238 3838 to discuss
           any obligations under the ACH Act.
           Equitable Access and Facilities
           The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance
           with the requirements of the National Construction Code - Building Code of Australia
           (Volume 1) as they relate to people with disabilities. Your attention is also directed to
           the fact that in addition to the requirements of the National Construction Code as they
           relate to people with disabilities, one or more of the following may impact on the
           proposed building work:
           1     the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
           2     the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
          3   the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
