2020-10-21 Final Order - Approval Conditions and Approved Plans - P&E Appeal No 61 of 2018 - RAL17-0504

      f)    the filling works undertaken for the raised building pads and access driveways
            shall be designed to prevent ponding within the proposed lots and on adjacent
            properties;
      g)    all civil works within the site are to be certified by a Registered Professional
            Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).
Flood Emergency Management Plan
11.   The Applicant is to notify all prospective purchasers of the proposed lots that the site is
      subject to flooding hazard and provide them with a copy of the Flood Emergency
      Management Plan (FEMP) dated 27 February 2020 prepared by Water Technology.
12.   The FEMP (and associated procedures) must be complied with at all times. The Body
      Corporate and the owners of the proposed lots, including successive landowners, are
      responsible for implementing the FEMP.
13.   All owners and occupiers of the proposed lots, including successive landowners, are to
      be provided with a copy of the FEMP (and procedures for the purposes of implementing
      the FEMP), for which the Body Corporate is responsible.
14.   The Body Corporate is responsible for maintaining and providing suitable information
      packs/kits to all owners and occupiers of the proposed lots. The information packs must
      include details in relation to the flooding hazard, the FEMP and emergency flood
      procedures. A copy of the information packs/kits must be submitted to Council prior to
      the sealing of the survey plan.
15.   The Applicant and the owners of the proposed lots are not permitted to undertake works
      within the proposed lots that would undermine the operation and implementation of the
      FEMP.
16.   Prior to sealing of the plan of survey, the Applicant is to install a flood height gauge and
      siren, between 0.5m and 0.75m AHD, at a suitable low point on the common property
      to indicate depth of flooding to residents and occupiers of the site as required by the
      FEMP. The gauge and siren will be installed to Bureau of Meteorology (BOM)
      specifications. This is to allow for site specific flood monitoring in conjunction with
      reviewing the BOM weather warnings consistent with the FEMP, in particular Table 3-2.
17.   The Body Corporate is responsible for the ongoing operation, management,
      maintenance (which includes replacement) and testing of the flood height gauge and
      siren (on an annual basis) and will enter into a contract with a suitable service contractor
      to maintain the flood height gauge and siren to BOM specifications. The Body Corporate
      is responsible for ensuring such maintenance contract is in force at all times.
18.   The Body Corporate is responsible for advising all owners of the proposed lots of the
      requirement for a service contract and of funding arrangements associated with the
      ongoing operation, management and maintenance of the flood height gauge and siren
      required to be constructed within the common property. The Body Corporate is
      responsible for ensuring there are adequate funds at all times to operate, manage and
      maintain the flood height gauge and siren.
19.   All dwellings must be constructed in accordance with the minimum floor level
      requirements, with the minimum habitable floor level above the probable maximum flood
      level of 3.43m (AHD).
20.   The Body Corporate is responsible for the overall communication, implementation, and
      periodic update of the FEMP. A regular review of the FEMP shall be undertaken (at least
      once every two years), which is regarded as an essential part of the risk awareness-
      raising process.
