1. INTRODUCTION Auxilium Consulting Pty Ltd (Auxilium) has been engaged to prepare a Stormwater Management Report to accompany a development application for a residential subdivision located at 25 Tulip Street, Cooroy. This report investigates the stormwater management considerations for the existing and proposed development site and assesses how the run-off from the site is to be managed in accordance with Noosa Council (Council) requirements for stormwater drainage. Council issued an Information Request (IR) on 7 April 2026 focussing on clarification of stormwater aspects which this report has been updated to address. 2. SITE DETAILS 2.1. Existing Site Description and Drainage Regime The existing Site is located at 25 Tulip Street, described as Lot 58 on Plan RP32777, and contains an existing dwelling and shed with an area of 1,529 m2. The Site is a residential setting with a large proportion of permeable areas. FIGURE 1 SITE LOCALITY PLAN (NOOSA COUNCIL INTRAMAPS, 2025) The Site slopes away from the road frontage towards the rear of the property. An unmapped channel conveys flows to the east and eventually into the Lake Macdonald catchment system. This existing, open channel discharges in a concentrated state from the Site. Roof run-off from the existing dwelling is discharged to the rear of the Site as overland flows to the existing channel. Road surface flows are excluded from the Site’s catchment with the kerb and channel and crossover.

2.2. Proposed Development Drainage Regime
The proposed subdivision results in the creation of one additional rear lot with an increase of
impermeable surfaces through roof areas and driveway. It is expected that stormwater quantities will
increase because of these impermeable areas with attenuation via above ground tanks proposed.
Existing surface flows from upstream adjacent properties will remain unchanged. The existing
drainage regime of discharging to the Lawful Point of Discharge (LPOD) at the northeastern
boundary (unmapped channel) is maintained in the developed state. Further discussion about the
LPOD is detailed in 2.3.
The roof and allotment drainage system for the proposed site shall be designed to comply with:
1. Noosa Council Planning Scheme SC6.7.6 Stormwater Management and 9.4.8 Water Quality
and Drainage Code
2. The Queensland Urban Drainage Manual (QUDM); and
3. AS/NZS 3500.3:2015 - Plumbing and Drainage Part 3: Stormwater Drainage.
2.3. LPOD Assessment
As per QUDM’s criteria for determining the LPOD test, an assessment of the proposed drainage has
been detailed below:
Criteria Development Outcome
Will the proposed development alter the site’s The proposed development must ensure that
stormwater discharge characteristics in a manner that stormwater discharge is maintained as sheet flow to
may substantially damage a third-party property? the discharge point and avoid concentrating flows,
increasing quantities and/or velocities.
Therefore, utilise stormwater attenuation systems
and level spreader devices to ensure the
characteristics do not damage a third-party’s
property.
Is the location of the discharge from the development The location of the discharge is its existing location
site under the lawful control of the local government because of the natural, steep terrain. It is part of the
or other statutory authority from whom permission surrounding terrain and natural flow of the land and
to discharge has been received? eventually flows into a natural watercourse feeding
into the Lake Macdonald system.
This will include a park, watercourse, drainage or
road reserve, stormwater registered drainage Therefore, as the immediate downstream discharge
easement, or land held by local government point from the Site is not under the lawful control of
(including freehold land). the local statutory authority, further consideration of
the next criteria is required.
An authority to discharge over affected properties In the context of obtaining authority to discharge
will be necessary. In descending order of certainty, over the affected property, this would be a matter if
an authority may be in the form of: there was a material change that resulted in damage
to a third-party’s property and/or actionable
Dedication of a drainage reserve or park nuisance occurring.
A registered easement for stormwater
discharge/works As this is the existing point of discharge and
Written discharge approval conveyance of flows through the Site, maintaining
quantities and velocities to a pre-development state
would result in no actionable nuisance occurring.

Therefore, a further assessment is undertaken below.
Common Law: Principles of nuisance If the existing discharge point is maintained, and
discharge quantities and velocities are maintained as
Alterations to the natural flow regime will be lawful per the pre-developed state, then no third-party
if all necessary statutory approvals have been damage is occurring, and this gives no rise to

There is no nuisance or interference to the Therefore, if the development can maintain these

The affected land owner has consented to the the Site in the post-developed state, the alterations
change in drainage will be lawful.
TABLE 1 LPOD ASSESSMENT AGAINST PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
3. STORMWATER CHARACTERISTCS
3.1. Comparison of Pre/Post Development and Quantity
The development proposes to increase the impervious area of the site by 229m2 for the additional
dwelling and allowance for the driveway surface – note this is an approximation to provide allowance
for siting the actual driveway layout.
In the previous version of this report, the post-development was modelled as having an impervious
catchment of 31% to reflect these characteristics. In response to Council’s IR, the post-development
has been updated to account for a conservative scenario consisting of dwelling, paved and
landscaping areas over a 400 m2 pad resulting in an overall imperviousness of 45%. The developed
catchment increases from the 31% to 57% and the modelling has been updated to account for this
change in Table 2.

Time of Concentration (mins) 10.13 10.13
TABLE 2 MODELLING PARAMETERS
Pre and post discharge rates have been calculated using DRAINS software to evaluate the effect of
the development. Attenuation of post-development flows have achieved by modelling each dwelling
having a 3kL rainwater tank.
Page 8
Utilising the modelling methods of ARR2019, parameters from the ARR Data Hub for the site
location, and rainfall Intensity Frequency Distribution data from the Australian Bureau of
Meteorology have been implemented into the DRAINS model to determine the mean peak discharge
rates from the storm events. This is presented in Table 3 below.

TABLE 3 PRE AND POST COMPARISON OF PEAK DISCHARGE RATES
The effect of the rainwater tanks is effective attenuation of discharge rates to maintain existing rates
or even a reduction of the pre-development rates.
Controlled flows from the outlets of these tanks will be discharged to the LPOD via a level spreader
device to maintain the pre-development drainage regime. A grated trench drain will intercept flows
from the driveway and pipe to the level spreader prior to sheet flowing to the LPOD.
Refer to Appendix A Proposed Development Concept Plan for the proposed stormwater drainage layout
plan illustrating the concept described above. Note the specific details of the level spreader pipe inlet
will be determined during the Operational Works phase and this demonstrates the drainage concept.
3.2. Quality
3.2.1.Construction Phase
To fulfill the General Environmental Duty, a person “…must not carry out any activity that causes or is
likely to cause environmental harm, unless measures to prevent or minimise the harm have been taken…”. It is
necessary to manage and mitigate these impacts through best practise erosion and sediment controls.
Due to the development area being less than 2,500 m2 the construction impacts will be managed
using the principles aligned with the desired outcomes of Appendix 2 of State Planning Policy (SPP).
A site-specific erosion and sediment control plan must be prepared and submitted as part of the
Operational Works approval.
3.2.2.Operational Phase
This development consists of an additional dwelling as part of the subdivision and is consistent in
character with the existing residential dwelling and environment. As the development proposal is not
Page 9
considered to significantly alter the potential for pollutant generation, stormwater quality treatment
processes are not proposed for the development.
4. Conclusion and Recommendations
This Stormwater Management Report demonstrates how the stormwater run-off from the site is to be
managed to comply with the relevant requirements and mitigate adverse impacts to the downstream
catchment. Of note, QUDM assessment has been undertaken against the LPOD criteria demonstrating
no actionable nuisance arising from the proposed development.
The proposed site stormwater run-off maintains the existing drainage regime. The existing
surface runoff from the upstream properties remains unchanged compared to the existing state.
An assessment against the LPOD criteria of QUDM has been detailed in this revised report
with the outcomes incorporated into the concept stormwater layout, demonstrating no
actionable nuisance outcomes because of the development.
Pre and post development modelling of the resultant peak flows has been carried out, with
attenuation using two 3kL rainwater tanks identified to mitigate peak flows. Outlets from the
tanks discharge via a level spreader device to the LPOD, to maintain the pre-development
drainage regime. The driveway surface flows are intercepted and piped to the level spreader via
a trench drain.
A site-specific erosion and sediment control plan is to be prepared and submitted with the
Operational Works approval to mitigate impacts to the receiving catchments and fulfil the
general environmental duty of care and Appendix 2 of the SPP.
The proposed development is not considered to significantly alter the pollutant generating
potential of the site; therefore, stormwater quality treatment processes are not proposed for the
development.
