5.3.3.5 Water Quality Objectives
The Water Quality Objectives of the receiving waters for the proposed development have been
obtained from State Planning Policy July 2017. The State Planning Policy load reduction targets are
summarised in Table 3 below.

5.3.3.6 Treatment Plan
In order to achieve the Water Quality Objectives for the proposed development, it is proposed to
use natural treatment methods to treat the runoff prior to discharge from the site.

Stormwater runoff from the roof will be captured in a series of new gutters, downpipes and pits,
which will discharge along with the remaining on ground catchments to bioretention basins, where
Q1 flows will receive treatment while additional flows with discharge into the external stormwater
network.

The bioretention basins are located in the south west and along the western boundary of the site.

Runoff from the existing landscape areas at the northern boundary of the site will remain generally
as per pre-development conditions and will be treated by the existing grassed swale.

Treated water from the bio basins will connect into the basement drainage system for pump out to
the existing drainage network. This is required due to the high invert levels of the surrounding
drainage network. The treatment plan for the proposed development is depicted on MPN Plan
8662-CP.1.01 attached in Appendix 3, with MUSIC excerpt below.
