ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                                  4 JUNE 2015


          Leak detection for fuel tanks
          84.   All reasonable and practicable measures must be taken to prevent loss of
                containment from the UPSS. An approved leak detection system must be
                installed and operated at sufficient frequency, sensitivity and reliability to provide
                a high level of confidence that a release of a petroleum product will be detected
                in sufficient time for a response to be implemented before an unacceptable risk
                is posed to human health, property or the environment. As a minimum standard,
                all UPSSs are required to be monitored using a system that:
                a.     can detect a leak from any portion of the UPSS
                b.     uses equipment that has been installed, calibrated and commissioned in
                       accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
                c.     is capable of detecting a leak at a rate of 0.76 litres per hour or more, with
                       at least 95% accuracy and a probability of false detection of 0.05 or less
                       (USEPA)
                d.     has been certified by an independent third party consistent with the current
                       USEPA protocols and system of verification
                e.     reports with a frequency of not less than monthly and provided to Council
                       upon request
                f.     is operated by a suitably trained person.
          91.   The ground water in the monitoring wells must be tested for petroleum
                contamination immediately after either:
                a.     the discovery whether by routine test or otherwise that ground water may
                       be contaminated by petroleum originating from the property
                b.     the discovery whether pursuant to the loss monitoring procedure for the
                       system or otherwise that the system has a leak.
    B.    Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with
          the Planning Scheme:
          1.    The convenience shop will fulfil a demonstrated need for convenience shopping
                within the area.
          2.    The convenience shop is well located on Noosa’s major road network to capture
                some escape expenditure by servicing the convenience needs of the travelling
                public.
          3.    The café is suitably located to meet the convenience needs of the workers of the
                industrial estate and the travelling public, and provide an all hours food venue for
                the Noosa area.

    MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR A HOME BASED BUSINESS TYPE 3 – SIGNIFICANT
