       The Interim Stormwater Management Plan (ISWMP) has been briefly discussed above (refer
       Attachment 8). A further full SWMP for the site as a whole will be provided as soon as possible.

       Having regard to the most relevant performance outcomes under the Water Quality and
       Drainage Code, the following comments are made:

            •   The SWMP will provide for the management of stormwater within the operational area
                of the site, including the proposed composting facility and will ultimately replace the
                previously approved SWMP prepared by Covey, dated February 2025, referenced under
                condition 15. The SWMP is being planned and will be designed having regard to the
                natural features and the need to avoid impacts and potential risks to ecological
                important areas, including during significant rainfall events (PO1).
            •   The SWMP will be designed to account for the flood risk on the site, provide for
                adequate drainage and ensure stormwater is discharged without altering the
                stormwater characteristics external to the site (PO2).
            •   The proposed stormwater drainage infrastructure is compatible with the drainage line
                traversing the site. Further, the improved SWMP will maintain water quality for
                important ecological important areas within the waterway north of the site (PO5 &
                PO6).
            •   The proposed development has been specifically designed to suit the site
                characteristics and will be constructed to maintain surface and ground water balances.
                The design of the stormwater and treatment system will utilise the new HES basin
                (Layout Plan - Stage 1) and will sustain the environmental values of water dependent
                ecosystems, including downstream aquatic, riparian, wetland and terrestrial
                ecosystems stemming from the waterway to the north of the operational area (PO13).

       The proposed development complies with the Water Quality and Drainage Code.


       11       Conditions of Approval

       It is reasonably expected that the conditions of approval will be updated and reflect the new
       proposal plans for the composting facility and other reference documents, including the
       Odour Impact Assessment, Traffic Impact Assessment, new Stormwater Management Plan (to
       be provided) and the updated Flood Impact Assessment (February 2026). Further, that the
       development approval will refer to the proposal plans for the composting facility, the updated
       Master Plans and the new Layout Plans for Stages 1, 2 & 3.

       It is requested that the staging of the development now be reflected in the approval, to remove
       any doubt about compliance. To clarify, the staging of the development will subject to funding
       and is expected to be as follows:

            •   Stage 1 – The completion and operation of the new HES Basin;
            •   Stage 2 – The construction of the proposed Composting Facility, including the
                upgrading of the internal roadways, new weighbridges and new hardstand area; and
            •   Stage 3 – The construction of the Waste Transfer Station, “Reviva Shop” and expansion
                of the Cleanaway Depot.
