                                                       a)    upstream runoff must be diverted around
                                                             the construction site; and

                                                             downslope of disturbed areas to prevent
                                                             sediment washing into gutters, drains and
                                                             watercourses either on or off the site;
                                                             and

                                                             must be managed in accordance with the

                                                       d)    temporary or permanent downpipes are
                                                             connected to the stormwater system
                                                             before laying the roof; or
                                                       e)    localised erosion is avoided by directing
                                                             flow from downpipes over non-erosive
                                                             areas.

                                                       to convey flows for the 50%AEP event and
                                                       remain stable for all rainfall events up to
                                                       10%AEP event.


20.   Water and Sewerage

Given that Council no longer administers the Water Supply & Sewerage Reticulation Code, and
the network assets are not its responsibility, it should be removed from the planning scheme. As
a consequence however it is suggested that statements be added to the use codes to ensure
that development in urban zones or within service areas connect to reticulated sewerage, water
supply and stormwater drainage at no cost to Council.


21.   Water Sensitive Urban Design

Various amendments are proposed to the Water Sensitive Urban Design Code to bring the
provisions in line with current best practice for stormwater and water quality management
including the following overall outcomes:

a)    development is designed, constructed and operated in a manner that contributes to, and
      does not impede, long term attainment of relevant Environmental Values and Water Quality
      Objectives as specified in the Environmental Protection Policy 2009;
b)    development avoids adverse impacts on downstream ecosystems, properties and
      infrastructure due to changes to stormwater flow, water quality or ecosystem health;
