approvals being obtained in conjunction
with subsequent application/s for a material
change of use. However it should be noted
that the set-up and operational costs
associated with such a proposal are likely to
be significant.
Flooding –
The site is subject to flooding from both
the Mooloolah River and a local catchment
upstream of the Steve Irwin Way. The extent
of flooding is significant with approximately
70% of the site being mapped as being
subject to flooding for the existing case.
In order to fully mitigate upstream flood
impacts it is likely that the extent of
development on the site will need to be
reduced significantly from that shown on the
concept plans.
The proposed earthwork results in flood levels
increasing over the site, as the site detains
water to mitigate impacts on the Steve Irwin
Way and maintain flood storage. Reducing
upstream flood impacts will make it more
difficult to mitigate downstream impacts. The
flat nature of the site also means that impacts
extend significant distances upstream.
