6.0 WATER SUPPLY

The remote location of the proposed Neosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal required the
development of an innovative water supply system that would service the expected population
and wouid fulfil the environmental goals of the proposed Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism
Portal. .

lt is proposed to service the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal via the design of an
innovative water suppiy system that will combine the two available water sources as follows.

e Water supply through collection of rainwater.
e Construction and installation of a bore to extract groundwater.

To minimise the impact on the existing artesian bore and therefore the dependency on
groundwater extraction, it is intended that the majority of water supply demand wili be obtained
through the collection and storage of rainwater in a system of rainwater tanks.

The final layout and composition of the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal will be
determined at Development Permit stage. The following assessment is based on the layout
option presented in the illustrative plans included in the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal
Development Code.

The estimated equivalent tenements (ET) of the proposed Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism
Portal was calculated using Noosa Council's accepted conversion factors. Table 6.1 provides an
indication of the expected ETs.

The following water design parameters have been used in the calculation of the expected water
supply requirements for the proposed development.

Average Day consumption — 1000 L/ET/day.
Maximum Day to Average Day (AD) Ratio is 1.9.
Maximum Hour to Max Day (MD) Ratio is 2.
Maximum Hour to Average Day (MH) Ratio is 3.8.
