Stormwater Mitigation Results
A detailed analysis of the mitigated peak flows, as summarised in Table 3-3, confirms that the use of the proposed
detention tank successfully reduces post-development discharges across all assessed storm events, ensuring
compliance with QUDM requirements and mitigating potential downstream impacts.

Key Observations
The results of the hydrological modelling demonstrate that the proposed detention tank provides effective
attenuation of post-development peak flows, particularly for the more frequent rainfall events.
As summarised in Table 3-3, the following peak flow reductions were achieved:
• 1 – Year AEP approximately 0% reduction
• 2 - Year AEP – approximately 0% reduction
• 5 - Year AEP – approximately 8% reduction
• 10 - Year AEP – approximately 12% reduction
• 20 - Year AEP – approximately 12% reduction
• 50 - Year AEP – approximately 17% reduction.
• 100 - Year AEP – approximately 19% reduction.
These results indicate that the tank has been optimised to effectively manage frequent, smaller storm events,
which are most critical for protecting downstream properties and infrastructure, while allowing major flood events
to pass through the system without increased risk.
This outcome reflects the intent of the stormwater management strategy:
• To provide a reduction in nuisance flooding and frequent storm impacts
• To ensure safe conveyance of major flows consistent with pre-development drainage conditions and
• To maintain compliance with both QUDM and Noosa Shire Council stormwater management objectives.
