Approved Ruling: The TQ to use a swale set up in the council owned unused public land adjacent to the project site to achieve compliance with STE-1 is granted. This is because; (1) this achieves the credit intent of local stormwater management without entering and burdening the council reticulated network, even if this is not done on within the boundaries of the project property itself (2) the land is currently unutilised, and the project owner is taking on the cost of developing the swale through agreement with the local authority (3) developing the swale would not reduce the ecological value of the land (and may in fact improve it) (4) the swale combined with the tank system within the project site meet the performance requirement for the points being targeted. |
