Street Address: 62 Lake Macdonald Drive, COOROY, QLD 4563.
Property Description: Lot 105 SP118458
Proposal: 100 Dwellings development on 1 into 3 subdivision
Local Government Area: Noosa Shire Council
Date of Issue: 15/05/2023
Assessment Officer: Don Jayasinghe
Responsible officer: Bruk Gebreselassie
This notice is provided in accordance with Section 99BRAC of the South-East Queensland
Water (Distribution and Retail Restructuring) Act 2009.
Please note that the Service Advice Notice is advisory only and does not represent
approval of the connection or any associated works. The Service Advice Notice is valid for
6 months from the date of this notice.
Application must be made to Unitywater for approval of the connection or associated works.
• Proposed development lot is located within Unitywater’s current water supply connections
area and outside future sewer connections area.
• Demand generated by this development exceeds the Unitywater’s planning assumptions
for the development lot/s. However, Unitywater may be amenable to approving water
supply and sewerage connections for the development if the demand of the proposed
development will not have a detrimental effect on any existing or future customers within
Unitywater’s water supply and sewerage connection and future connection areas.
• This will need to be demonstrated by the applicant via a network analysis by a competent
and suitably qualified consultant who can carry out such analysis. As a part of this analysis,
a viable sewer and water connection strategy will need to be produced.
• The water supply network analysis shall cover the DMA-COORO and the sewerage
analysis shall cover gravity mains from the connection point up to and including SPS-
CRY020.

• A free copy of Unitywater’s network models for this location is available to the developer
on request subject to conditions. Please contact Senior Engineer Network Modelling,
Mathy Jegan at [email protected]
Reconfiguration of a in to 3 subdivision
• The developer will be required to provide reticulated water supply to all 3 lots within the
subdivision and connection(s) to Unitywater’s existing water supply network. Water mains
shall be provided along the full frontage/s of the development site for each stage to ensure
future mains extension can occur without disturbing developed footpath and the need for
council approval for works in roads.
• The developer will be required to provide reticulated sewerage to all 3 lots within the
development, including a property connection to each lot and connection(s) to Unitywater’s
existing sewerage network.
Community housing within the subdivision
• Community housing within the subdivision will be required to provide;
o Metered water service to all units within the subdivided lot with a primary meter and
sub- meters in accordance with Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code 2010
– Part 4 and Unitywater’s sub metering policy.
o A single sewer connection to the community title lot from Unitywater’s existing
sewerage network and internal sewers with property connection to all units within
the development in accordance with SEQ design standards.
• The connection application shall accompany plans indicating,
o The location of any metered water connection/s and sewerage property connections
including offsets from boundaries and invert levels for new sewerage connections.
o Any proposed large diameter water connections (greater than Ø25mm), above
ground master meter assembly (This shall be located within the development
property boundary) and proposed sub-meter installations.
Fire Fighting Requirements (Commercial or Industrial and Units)
• Direct connection of pressure boosting pumps to Unitywater network is not favoured by
Unitywater. Sometimes the requests may be considered depending on the capacity,
condition and sufficient connectivity of the reticulation system in the area. If there is any
such proposal, details of the pumps (pump curves and design calculations) needs to
be submitted to Unitywater’s Development Services for approval prior to installation.
This request shall include a certification by the hydraulic consultant that the maximum
flow rate of the installed pumps will be no greater than Unitywater’s standards of service,
relevant for the site.
• Unitywater’s level of service towards firefighting capacity is guided by SEQ Design &
Construction Guidelines whereas the internal fire suppression systems of buildings shall
comply with the requirements of AS 2419.Therefore it is the responsibility of the developer
to design and install the necessary infrastructure such as pumps, break tanks etc, so that
the internal fire suppression system complies with the relevant standards.

• The Usage of street hydrants as standalone firefighting facility to a building will be entirely
at the risk of the developer. Unitywater will not guarantee that the street hydrants will comply
with the requirements of AS 2419 or of QFES. This applies to dry hydrant systems too.
• It is strongly recommended that the developer submits an application for flow & pressure
information about the water mains that the development is getting connected to. This
information will provide details of the expected flow & pressure of Unitywater’s street
watermain in the vicinity of the development from a hydraulic model prediction. The
application can be downloaded from Unitywater’s web site
https://www.unitywater.com/faults-and-outages/water-supply-problems/water-pressure
(Form 8578)
• Unitywater, at its discretion, may change the operational regime of its water mains.
However, it won’t be changed below Unitywater’s minimum level of service towards street
hydrants. These values are shown in Table 1 below. For more details, please refer to the
latest version of SEQ Design & Construction Code.
