PURPOSE OF REPORT<br />

To present amended Draft Development C<strong>on</strong>trol Plan (DCP) No 47 - W<strong>at</strong>er Management <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

Council for adopti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

BACKGROUND<br />

At its <str<strong>on</strong>g>meeting</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> 23 March 2004, Council adopted Development C<strong>on</strong>trol Plan (DCP) 47 with a<br />

resoluti<strong>on</strong>:<br />

C. Th<strong>at</strong> Draft DCP47 <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g> reviewed up<strong>on</strong> commencement <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> BASIX.<br />

The Department <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Infrastructure, Planning and N<strong>at</strong>ural Resource’s (DIPNR) Building<br />

Sustainability Index (BASIX) for developments commenced <strong>on</strong> 1 July 2004. The introducti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

BASIX rendered some elements <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> DCP 47 obsolete, specifically requirements for rainw<strong>at</strong>er tanks<br />

and w<strong>at</strong>er c<strong>on</strong>serv<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong> in the home.<br />

Council has also recently introduced a new Riparian Policy and resolved <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> incorpor<strong>at</strong>e the relevant<br />

changes in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the DCP.<br />

Since the introducti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the DCP, Council has noted th<strong>at</strong> the DCP has <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>en interpreted as allowing<br />

a 100% replacement <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong>-site detenti<strong>on</strong> with rainw<strong>at</strong>er tanks, even for large developments. This<br />

was not the intent <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the c<strong>on</strong>cessi<strong>on</strong>s included in the DCP, as OSD is <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>ten necessary <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> reduce the<br />

impact <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> flooding <strong>on</strong> downstream properties, while retenti<strong>on</strong> does not necessary ensure sufficient<br />

protecti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Amendments are therefore proposed <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> DCP47 in rel<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong> property drainage <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> clarify the limit <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

OSD c<strong>on</strong>cessi<strong>on</strong>, <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> meet requirements <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> BASIX and <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> incorpor<strong>at</strong>e inform<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong> as required by the<br />

Riparian Policy.<br />

At its <str<strong>on</strong>g>meeting</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 1 February <strong>2005</strong>, Council resolved <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> place Draft DCP47 <strong>on</strong> exhibiti<strong>on</strong> for a<br />

period <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>at</strong> least 28 days.<br />

COMMENTS<br />

Exhibiti<strong>on</strong><br />

The Draft DCP was exhibited from 23 February <strong>2005</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> 23 March <strong>2005</strong>. No submissi<strong>on</strong>s were<br />

received.<br />

All proposed changes are highlighted in the <strong>at</strong>tachment circul<strong>at</strong>ed separ<strong>at</strong>ely.<br />

Amendments <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Chapter 1 – Introducti<strong>on</strong><br />

Minor changes <strong>on</strong>ly are proposed in this chapter so th<strong>at</strong> secti<strong>on</strong> 1.7 correctly reflects the current<br />

st<strong>at</strong>us <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> BASIX and Council’s recently adopted DCPs.<br />
