7.0 FLOODING

The Noosa Plan (2006) Flood Hazard & Flood Extents map overlays show the site to be
well clear of any anticipated flooding. Refer to the extract below in figure 7.0.

Therefore there is no specific planning or physical restraints imposed on the site due to
risk of flooding by the current Local Authority Planning Scheme.



8.0 EFFLUENT DISPOSAL

Waste water discharge will be treated and disposed of onsite via an existing Enviroflow
treatment system. The treatment plant is connected to the existing staff offices near the
entry to ‘Gate 2’ which will be demolished and turned into parking hardstand. It is
proposed to relocate the existing treatment plant adjacent to the proposed offices inside
the factory and on the opposite side of the delivery truck driveway. All plumbing will be
reconnected to the treatment plant and the outflow will connect to the existing irrigation
fields on the far side of the creek to the east of the factory. An existing site map of the
previous uses & facilities is enclosed in Appendix C.

Advice from Enviroflow Water Technologies is that the existing system, which was sized
to a much larger workforce, is capable of handling the black and grey water treatment
requirements of the proposed Wimmers Soft Drink factory, including the periodic wash
down which will contain sugars & carbonate from the factory floor.

Proposed worker numbers (20 employees) for the Wimmers factory are considerably less
than those of the brickworks (100 employees over two shifts) however; the same on site
