The peak flows discharging from the site have increased in the developed case scenario due to the
resulting increase in impervious area. To reduce the flows to meet non-worsening conditions, a
detention tank is proposed to increase detention capacity on site and reduce the offsite flows.
6.6 Stormwater Detention
The pre-developed and post-developed (mitigated) conditions were modelled in XP-RAFTS to
demonstrate that stormwater flows will not be increased with the inclusion of an appropriately
designed storage device. The increases in peak flows have been mitigated on site through the use
of a detention tank. Detention provided by the bioretention basin to treat water quality will also be
utilised on site.
Refer to Site Plans in Appendix B for the proposed detention tank location and details.
6.6.1 Detention Tank
The flows up to 39% AEP will be directed to and will be detained within the proposed bioretention
basin and flow greater than the 39% AEP will be detained within the detention tank located at the
lowest point of the site in the south western corner. A diversion chamber prior to the bioretention
basin inlet will divert all flow above a 39% AEP event to the detention tank. Refer to Stormwater
Management Plan in Appendix B. The bioretention basin has a storage component 1.25 m deep
with a surface area of 115 m2, providing a storage volume of 143.75m3. The proposed detention
tank dimensions are approximately 5 m wide x 10 m long x 2 m high providing a maximum
detention volume of 100 m3. The combined detention volume provided between the bioretention
basin and the detention basin is 243.75 m3 with a minimum available depth of about 2.7 m. The
required detention is 171m3 peaking at a depth of 2.12 m in the 1% AEP event. The tank will slow
release via one (1) 325 mm orifice plate and a weir 1.5 m high and 0.45 m wide discharging into a
chamber and connecting to an existing stormwater network on site. Refer to the Stormwater
Management Plan in Appendix B for detail.
Table 13 summarises stormwater flows, storage volumes and stage height for the required
detention tank.

XP-RAFTS modelling predicts that the proposed detention tank will reduce the post-development
peak stormwater flows for all critical storm events. Refer to Table 14 below for detail.
