Item 14

Written details of water conservation and re-use measures to be incorporated in the development.

Response oe

Due to the sensitive nature of the site, the proposed development aims to match existing runoff conditions as closely as
possible. The design proposes to utilise proven water sensitive urban design principals via the treatment and use of all rain
and stormwater on site.

Roof rainwater will be caught and harvested in a series of rainwater tanks across the site. (Refer to plan on opposite page for
tank locations). Harvested water will be used for 2 purposes:

1. A large harvesting tank set in the basement will be used for fire sprinklers
2. Several 22,000 litre water tanks will be located around the site for landscape irrigation

Surface water will only leave the site via natural ground infiltration or after treatment through bio-retention basins planted with
appropriate native species and then directed to a series of rapid infiltration pits (RIP’s).
