Roof Water & Stormwater Drainage
13.     Roof runoff from any new dwelling shall be directed to a rainwater storage system or tank
        that is installed to ensure water from the rainwater storage system or tank is used for
        external uses (such as watering gardens, irrigation, ornamental ponds, water features,
        topping-up swimming pools, outdoor cleaning, etc) and for internal (ground floor) use in
        washing machine cold taps and toilet cisterns. All rainwater tanks are to be designed and
        installed in accordance with the Queensland Development Code (QDC) and The Noosa Plan
        current at the time of building approval, and shall be part of the plumbing application for
        approval. The location and capacity of the tanks shall be clearly shown on the plans
        submitted for Building Works approval and any overflow shall be directed to the stormwater
        drainage system.
14.     All stormwater drainage (including roof water overflow from the rainwater storage system)
        shall be collected and discharged on site in such a manner to ensure no scour or damage to
        the subject site or any adjoining property.
15.     All site stormwater drainage shall be by means of a gravity system.
Effluent Disposal
16.     The design and construction of any on-site effluent disposal system and disposal area (land
        application area) shall be in accordance with Council’s Planning Scheme Policy PSP24 -
        Effluent Disposal.
        Specifically, the land application area shall be positioned to achieve the greatest possible
        setback to the dam and to any permanent or intermittent watercourse.

        The land application area shall also be positioned at least 15m from any underground
        rainwater tanks.
Earthworks
17.     Earthworks required on site shall be carried out in accordance with Council’s Planning
        Scheme Policy PSP5 – Engineering Design Standards, so as not to cause the additional
        ponding of water on any adjoining lands or the blockage of, or interference with, any natural
        watercourses.
Erosion and Sediment Control
18.     Any person acting on this permit shall prevent erosion and sediment export from leaving the
        site. Site control measures such as silt fencing, controlled gravel access to the site and
        controlled disposal of waste, will be necessary.
        In this regard, plan detailing the methods of controlling erosion and sediment in accordance
        with the Healthy Waterways document and fact sheet series titled “Controlling Stormwater
        Pollution on your Building Site dated 2006” are required to be submitted with the application
        for a Building Works Permit.
