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.

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.
