“Specialist services and practical solutions”



       The most recent flood study (Flood Impact Assessment, Covey, January 2026) has confirmed
       that the central area where the proposed compost facility is to be located is mostly free from
       flooding during a 1% AEP event for Stage 2 (refer Figure 4, above). The reduced ground levels
       in this part of the site are expected to remain about the same, therefore there is minimal if any
       change to the flood modelling.

       Having regard to the Flood Hazard Overlay Code the following comments are provided:

           •    The proposed development will maintain the safety of people and property (PO1);
           •    The design of the proposed development will be resilient to flood events, with no new
                buildings/structures located below a 1% flood event (PO6);
           •    The proposed development supports and does not unduly burden disaster
                management response or recovery or capabilities (PO7);
           •    The essential community infrastructure will be able to function effectively immediately
                after an extreme flood event, including for the composting facility (PO9);
           •    Any earthworks required by the development will be minor and will not result in
                increased flooding or ponding or affect the overall hydrology of the site and
                surrounding land (PO10); and
           •    The proposed development will not worsen and will improve public safety and the
                protection of the environment by ensuring hazardous waste materials including
                leachate will not be affected by flooding within the site (PO11).

       The proposed development complies with the Flood Hazard Overlay Code.

       10.2.5 Landslide Hazard Overlay

       Under the Landslide Hazard Overlay, parts of the subject land are affected by the mapping
       and designated a Moderate Hazard Area (refer Figure 11).

       While part of the land is affected by the landslide overlay, the subject land where the proposed
       composting facility is to be located is relatively unaffected. In any event, the landslip hazard
