Town Planning Report

Flooding




The site is affected by flooding as identified in the above figure. The extent of the
Q100 flood level occurring over the site is identified on the subdivision plan.

The subdivision layout has been designed to ensure that the safety of all future
residents will be protected, there will be no undue risk to people’s property and that
the capacity of the flood plan will be protected.

Each created lot would have a minimum house site area of 1000m2 above the Q100
flood level, which is identified by Table 13.12 to be the defined flood event for
Residential Uses. Any land remaining below the Q100 is proposed to be included
within an easement to protect the ongoing function of the flood plain.

The development would provide an effective evacuation route for each lot to
Church Street. The access to Lots 2 and 3 will be achieved via a culvert over a
drainage line that will be designed to ensure is achieves the flow depth velocities
and roadway flow depths as prescribed by the Queensland Urban Drainage
Manual. Design details of the driveway and culvert crossing will be provided with the
subsequent application for operational works.

6. CONCLUSION

This report has identified that the proposed development complies with the relevant
provisions of the Noosa Plan and does not raise any significant issues that cannot be
addressed by reasonable and relevant conditions.
