2.      Proposed Operational Works
This Operational Works Application seeks to formalise the ongoing works to establish the construction of eight
(8) interconnected dams, weirs, swales and grassed platforms, within the northwest portion of the subject site
(see Figure 2). Engineering Drawings prepared by BAX Engineering (Appendix 1) demonstrate the proposed dam
system and earthworks volume. In total the earthworks propose a cut of 11,247m 3 and fill of 8m3 (balance of
11,239m3).

As detailed within The Engineering Report (Appendix 2) prepared by BAX Engineering, the proposed works do
not affect the existing access, or driveway culvert, which will continue to serve as the discharge point. Nor do the
works worsen existing stormwater conditions for upstream or downstream properties.
