Issue – Stormwater Infrastructure on Gateway Drive

Council have identified that the proposed driveway crossover will impede on an existing stormwater
structure along Gateway Drive. Council are concerned that the location of the proposed driveway
crossover will create worsening of conditions and functionality of the existing drainage system
associated with the structure.


Note that Council is unlikely to support the submitted driveway crossover.

Information Required

5.      Provide an amended plan demonstrating how the proposed driveway crossover will
        avoid creating worsening of conditions for the existing stormwater drainage system along
        Gateway Drive. The amended plan must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ –
        Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland) and include, but not be limited to:
        a.      a design generally in accordance with RS-051 and any associated addendum.

Issue – Stormwater Management Plan

Council are concerned regarding the functionality of the stormwater management plan and the
neighbouring detention basin towards the end of the development’s life span. Council predict that
the yearly average rainfall will increase by approximately 20% towards the end of the development’s
life span (2100).
