Application
This Part applies to the land identified in Figure DN as Seabreeze Estate - Nelson Bay
D7.A Drainage and water quality
Objectives
• To ensure stormwater works that are required for the implementation of stormwater management within Seabreeze Estate and the groundwater catchment draining to
Melaleuca Estate can be managed • To recognise that rainwater tanks will lead to a reduction in the amount of roof run-off discharging to public drainage • To reduce stormwater entering Melaleuca Estate and mitigate for potential loss in water quality • To reduce the need for portable water to irrigate
Development controls
Water tanks D7.1 Minimum water tank storage volume of 5,000L per unit • Water tanks are to be configured to allow use of the water for non-potable purposes • Over-flow should be directed to on-site infiltration system Increase in impervious surfaces by more than 10% or 50m2 D7.2 Development that increases impervious surfaces by more than 5% or 40m2 is to provide on-site infiltration • On-site infiltration is designed to cater for all storm events up to and including the 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) with durations up to 72 hours considered to calculate capacity • The stormwater drainage plan demonstrates the following details regarding on-site infiltration: - location and type of infiltration system - demonstrated volume of maximum AEP - pipes, pits, overland flow and discharge points which discharge to either one of the following: - on-site detention system where soil conditions are not suitable for infiltration - discharge into underground infiltration systems where the soils are suitable to infiltrate - directly onto the ground surface, if adjacent properties are not affected - surface grates and maintenance access points
Development controls
- orifice type, location and screening facility - slope/gradient of the land - on-site detention is required where it can be demonstrated that soil conditions are not suitable for on-site infiltration Note: B4.2 requires on-site detention when development proposes to increase
impervious surfaces
