MCU14/0056 Information Request

                                                                               MCU14/0056



Issue – Riparian Buffer
The Biodiversity Overlay of the Noosa Plan seeks to protect riparian zones by providing a
buffer area that separates development from riparian zones. The proposal seeks to provide
development within the riparian buffer area.

Information Required
33     Provide justification, based on environmental grounds, for the development to occur
       with the riparian buffer area.

WATER QUALITY

Issue – MUSIC Model
Figure 5.1 in the Engineering and Stormwater Management Plan Report indicated that the
MUSIC model was only configured for proposed development within the boundaries of the
site and does not consider any inflows from catchments off the site.

Information Required
34     Demonstrate that the MUSIC model adequately sized all bioretention basins for all
       catchments that drain to each.

Issue – MUSIC Model
The access roads to serve the development will certainly experience increased traffic flows
and may also require upgrading as a result of the increased intensity of use. These factors
will contribute to increases in water pollutants as a result of the development.

Information Required
35     Amend the MUSIC model to include all catchments (including external road
       catchments) that will experience increased traffic or require road upgrades as a
       result of the proposed development. Demonstrate that the State Planning Policy
       Water Quality Pollutant Reduction Targets will still be met. Also demonstrate that
       adequate permissions can be obtained for construction and installation of any Water
       Quality Improvement infrastructure external to the site.

Issue – Basin Function
Drawing 14012-P004 shows drainage from the future development area being directed to
the bioretention basin for the tourist park prior to entry to the detention basin.

Information Required
36     Demonstrate how the capacity of the tourist park bioretention basin and detention
       basin will not be compromised from inflows from future development.

Issue – Basin Details
It is uncertain from the provided drawings whether the proposed bioretention basin
footprints correspond with the MUSIC modelling, provide adequate batters, forebay,
maintenance access areas and adequate fall for drainage.
