The Developer shall provide easements/reserves dedicated in favour of Council for all drainage paths through the development and for all drainage paths downstream of the development to the legal point of discharge. The proposed drainage system, and earthworks for the development shall be such that the upstream drainage is not adversely affected. The Developer may choose to maintain the pre-development rates of discharge from the site or alternatively assess the impact of the increase in discharge on the downstream system and where necessary indicate and implement measures to ensure the downstream system is capable of carrying the increased discharge. 2.5.3 2.5.3.1 DESIGN CRITERIA GENERAL Stormwater design shall comply with the general parameters of Table 2.5A together with the additional requirements outlined herein. Queensland Urban Drainage Manual (QUDM) is the primary design guideline which Council has adopted for stormwater design. Other design manuals are referenced herein where QUDM is not suitable. It is recognised that there are existing drainage systems that do not satisfy the criteria outlined in Table 2.5A. Council will endeavour to upgrade such deficient systems as and when budgets permit. A priority list shall be progressively developed, acknowledging deficient systems, their associated flooding implications and costs to rectify.

Stormwater Drainage Beaudesert Shire Council DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION MANUAL Design Requirements Ref: 25 Issue: A Date: 1 Sept, 1999 NOTES: 1. Minor system storm ARI 10 years for all connecting roads, trunk collector roads or sub arterial and arterial roads. 2. Cross road culverts shall be designed to pass the flow of an ARI 50 year storm with the top water level (TWL) not exceeding edge of carriageway except as indicated below: (a) For roads servicing less than 20 lots and where average lot area fronting the road is greater than 7999m2, ARI 5 years with TWL edge of carriageway. A design check should also be undertaken for Q50 assuming the road acts as a floodway. The floodway should be trafficable at Q50 with a maximum submergence of 200mm and maximum velocity shall be 1.85m/s. Floodways to be designed to Austroads publication ’WATERWAY DESIGN’ (b) The culvert may be designed for an ARI of 10 years with TWL edge of carriageway if the subject road has less than 2000 AADT at the 20 year horizon and where there exists an alternate route above the ARI 50 year flood, which is within an acceptable proximity. This relaxation is subject to the discretion of the Director. Other factors pertinent to any approval, are road geometry (sight distance to flood affected area); the speed environment; the period of time the road would be impassable; the location of alternate routes and the standard of other nearby cross road drainage. (c) In Rural areas the drainage design criteria shall be assessed on a case by case situation and shall take into account traffic volumes, the period of time the road would be impassable, road geometry (sight distance to flood affected areas), alternative routes, and general funding limitations. Submissions on appropriate design criteria shall be made to the Director for his determination. Designers must also check: (i) that the backwater for the ARI 100 year storm does not exceed permissible limits; and (ii) whether or not embankments require facing where overtopping is likely to occur. (d) In residential and residential low density areas where the pipe extends through private property downstream of the road the culverts and downstream drainage shall be designed for ARI 100 years (refer also note 6 ). 3. In rural, rural residential and low density residential areas, backwater from culverts can extend into private property provided the area of inundation is shown on flood plans lodged at sealing stage and the affected area is excluded from the building envelope and the minimum building envelope criteria are satisfied. 4. Culvert length criteria: (a) Where kerb and channel or flush kerb with shallow table drains...culvert to be full width of road reserve except where the cumulative span of culvert internal diameters/box widths exceeds 3m. If the latter case applies, culvert length shall be in accordance with the Austroads Bridge Design Code with provision for a footway on one side of the road. The minimum clear width available for use by pedestrians shall be 1.8m. (Where pedestrian movements are considered significant, the Director may indicate footways to be included on both sides of the culvert.) (b) In Rural Residential areas (Note: This does not include Residential Low Density) where road frontage is less than or equal to 50m...culvert to extend from road formation on upstream side to 5 m beyond the building envelope of the affected and adjoining lot on the downstream side. (Where this criteria cannot be achieved, the watercourse downstream of the culverts should be dedicated to Council as Park or Reserve.) (c) Otherwise ... road formation width. 5. Minimum building envelope above 100 year ARI flood level: (a) Low Density Residential minimum envelope area 1000m2 and minimum envelope inserted square width 30m. (b) Rural and Rural Residential min envelope area 1500m2 and minimum envelope inserted square width 35m. 6. Restriction criteria for major storm overland flow and natural watercourses: Stormwater Drainage Beaudesert Shire Council DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION MANUAL Design Requirements Ref: 25 Issue: A Date: 1 Sept, 1999 (a) In residential areas up to 3999m 2 or industrial or commercial or shopping areas… or watercourse) subject to the discretion of the Director. (c) In rural and rural residential areas... (I) All natural watercourses and man made channels shall be wholly contained within park or reserves for the extent of flooding up to the calculated 100 year ARI flood. (i) Major storm flows may pass overland through these properties subject to assessment of the ARI 100 year flood level and compliance with minimum building envelope criteria and the requirements of Note 4(b) being satisfied. Where cross road culverts discharge into private property, an easement shall be provided for the extent of any pipeline in the property (if applicable) and for a minimum distance of 30m beyond the culvert apron or channel outfall. (This latter requirement may be waived if the cross-road culvert discharges into a recognizable creek system.) (ii) Natural watercourses may be contained within private property. Easements may be required over the defined width. (II) Minor or major storm flows through private property shall be conveyed in only a fully piped system and where such piped system is within an easement. Refer 2.11 (b) In low density residential areas... (i) (ii) Piped systems in private property shall extend through the property to a natural water course (see (ii) below), the Lawful Point Of Discharge (ref QUDM) or may discharge within the property at or below the ARI 100 year flood level where approved by the Director. Major storm flow shall not be permitted to pass overland through private property unless the subject area is downstream of the approved pipe discharge location. The extent of the piped system and any constructed aprons or outfall channels shall be included in a drainage easement. Refer 2.11. Note: The Lawful Point of Discharge shall not be deemed to fall within private property except in the case of an existing drainage easement. Defined natural watercourses are to be wholly contained within park or reserves for the width of definition plus an appropriate allowance for maintenance access. (iii) Aside from discharge channels as in (b)(i), i.e located below the ARI 100 flood line, all constructed channels shall be wholly contained within park or drainage reserves (for the full width of construction plus an allowance for maintenance access). (iv) Where minimum building envelope criteria are satisfied, the 100 year ARI flood line may extend into private property (beyond the limits of a channel (iii) Major man made channels shall be wholly contained within park or drainage reserves (for the full width of construction plus an appropriate allowance for maintenance access). Minor channels typically less than 10m total constructed width shall be included in a drainage easement. (iv) Where minimum building envelope criteria are satisfied, the Director may approve the 100 year flood line extending beyond the channel into private property. The minimum width of any park used for drainage purposes shall be in accordance with Council’s Park Provision in Subdivisions of Land – Planning Policy No.: S0016. 7. Erosion Control All culvert outfalls, man made channels/table drains (and natural watercourses as directed) shall be provided with erosion control measures suitable for maximum calculated velocities. Unless approved otherwise, the permissible velocities in Table 8.03 QUDM shall be based on easily eroded soils and a maximum 70% grass coverage. Reinforced concrete low flow channels shall be incorporated in all large open channels with “soft” facings. Stormwater Drainage Beaudesert Shire Council DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION MANUAL Design Requirements Ref: 25 Issue: A Date: 1 Sept, 1999 8. Low Density Residential Alternative Drainage System: ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Table drains to be maximum 400mm deep and fully turfed except where cement grouted stone pitching or concrete lining or approved equivalent is required for scour protection. Side batters to be IV:4H maximum. Pipe/table drain minor system to be designed for ARI of 50 years with top water level not exceeding edge of shoulder level. Access culvert crossings shall be provided for entry to all allotments in accordance with Council’s Standard Drawing 50418. Box culverts 225 mm internal height shall be used at these access crossovers. At or adjacent to road crests, concrete invert style crossings may be used in lieu of pipe crossings subject to the approval of the Director. (a) Roof and allotment drainage shall be designed to QUDM 5.18 except as varied herein: (b) In low density and rural residential zones, generally all roof water is connected to rainwater tanks. (c) Unless approved otherwise by the Director interallotment drainage (Refer QUDM Figure 5.18.2) shall be located on the low side of any sewer reticulation and generally 1.5 metres clear of the sewer alignment (or 1.5 metres from the property boundary alignment where no adjoining sewer). (d) Easements are required for interallotment drainage. Refer 2.11. (e) The Director shall nominate the drainage level appropriate for industrial/commercial/ shopping areas. 9. Dual Use Drainage And Open Space Areas The drainage standards to be applied to a dual use area must be considered within the context of the intended function of the land. This process may be complicated by the mix of functional use, namely:◊ Open space areas with a low to high need for access by pedestrians and cyclists ◊ Passive areas with a low to high visitation ◊ Active recreational or sporting areas of significance ◊ Natural watercourses with low to high ecological significance Appropriate drainage standards for particular areas will be approved by the Director with respect to consideration of the following:◊ Major flood capacity ◊ Convenience flood capacity - minor event in terms of interval event and the time to drain ponded sites ◊ Maintenance costs (e.g. batter slopes between 1 in 4 and 1 in 6) ◊ Safety (e.g. maximum velocity 2.0 m/sec) ◊ Stability factors e.g. resistance to scour, slip etc. ◊ Ecological considerations e.g. preserving valuable areas, and appropriate planting in waterway areas, minimum impact on existing riparian/aquatic ecosystems. 11. Table Drains - Rural/Rural Residential Areas. Table drains to be a maximum 600mm deep, aside from localized deepenings at pipe crossovers. Desirable side batters of table drains shall be 4H to 1V. (Some road reserve widths on existing roads may preclude such flat batters.) The TWL for the minor system ARI shall be outer edge shoulder level. Table drains shall be turfed except where velocities exceed limits in Table 8.03 QUDM in which case alternative permanent erosion control measures shall be incorporated. 12. Access Crossovers Residential Areas in Rural And Rural Piped crossovers shall be constructed in accordance with Standard Drawing 50416. The maximum diameter pipe used in crossovers shall be 600mm. Crossover pipes shall be sized to pass Q50 with TWL not exceeding edge of carriageway level. At or adjacent to road crests concrete invert crossings may be used in lieu of a piped crossover subject to the approval of the Director. 10.

In large lot developments, the Friends equation is acceptable for overland flow. For concentrated flow utilise Bransby-Williams or average flow velocity calculations. 2.5.3.4 INTENSITY - FREQUENCY - DURATION DATA (REFER QUDM 5.07) Records from the Bureau of Meteorology have been used to identify three rainfall intensity regions. Refer Attachment 2.5A Rainfall Intensity Regional Map. The Bureau of Meteorology rainfall intensity charts for each region are provided in tabular form as follows:⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Region 1..............................Refer Attachment 2.5B Region 2..............................Refer Attachment 2.5C Region 3..............................Refer Attachment 2.5D Stormwater Drainage Beaudesert Shire Council DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION MANUAL Design Requirements Ref: 25 Issue: A Date: 1 Sept, 1999 When using Ilsax, the Temporal Patterns for all regions shown in Attachment 2.5E shall be adopted. 2.5.3.5 GULLY INLETS (REFER QUDM 5.10.3) The following special criteria apply to gully inlets: ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ maximum three (3) gully inlet to gully inlet connections in series series connection longitudinally on a road shall not exceed 30m. (viz. where the pipe runs under the kerb and channel) maximum outlet pipe of gully connections in series is 525mm dia maximum depth of gully inlet pit is 1.5 metres side inlet gullies shall be channel lip in line type. Refer Standard Drawing 50517. Gully grates shall be bikeproof and as detailed on the Standard Drawings. Minimum single lintel size shall be type “M” or 3.6 metres in length. Anti-ponding gully inlets within kerb turnouts are not generally acceptable The following special criteria apply to field inlets: ◊ 2.5.3.6 Field inlets and overflow gullies as detailed on Standard Drawing 50525 shall only be used where the maximum depth to invert does not exceed 2.5 metres. In deeper situations a modified manhole (access chamber) shall be used. The 600 mm square pit shall only be used where the depth to invert is less than 1m. MANHOLE TOPS (REFER QUDM 5.11.2) Where drainage manholes are located in flood prone areas or where the design hydraulic grade line is above the top of the manhole, bolt down manhole tops shall be provided. 2.5.3.7 REDUCTION IN PIPE SIZE (REFER QUDM 5.11.4) Consultants should note that where a pipe size reduction is allowed in QUDM and this manual, the manhole outlet should be "bell mouthed" through the wall of the manhole to the downstream pipe. 2.5.3.8 DRAINLINE LOCATION (REFER QUDM 5.12) Aside from gully connections in series, drainlines in road pavement shall be on a two (2) metre alignment measured towards the road centre lines from the invert of the Kerb and Channel. 2.5.3.9 PIPE AND MATERIAL STANDARDS (REFER QUDM 5.13) This criteria is generally covered in 3.0 LAND USE Residential A,B, Special Residential Commercial and Industrial Park Residential DRAINAGE LEVEL III III, IV, V I (soakage trenches are permissible) For design recommendations associated with the "Rear of Allotment Drainage System", refer Table 5.18.4. Stormwater Drainage Beaudesert Shire Council DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION MANUAL Design Requirements Ref: 25 Issue: A Date: 1 Sept, 1999 The following minimum pipe sizes should be adopted for interallotment drainage.: ITEM Minimum Pipe Size (mm) 2.5.3.10 I II n.a. n.a. LEVEL APPLICABLE III 225 IV V 375 375 HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS (REFER QUDM 5.21) The hydraulic gradeline calculations must take into consideration the impact of a gross pollutant structure where one is required by Council. 2.5.3.11 START HYDRAULIC GRADE LEVEL (REFER QUDM 5.21.6) Consultants should seek Council's requirements for start HGL's associated with Non -Tidal Waters. Note: Section 86 approval is required for the discharge of stormwater in tidal waterways. 2.5.3.12 GROSS POLLUTANT TRAPS Guidelines of Gross Pollutant Traps (G.P.T.'s) for underground pipe drainage systems have yet to be finalised. Consultants should liaise with the Director with regard to requirements for oil and grease interception pits in large car parking areas, etc. The design recurrence interval for the operation of G.P.T.'s will probably be in the range of 1 in 3 month to 1 in 6 month recurrence interval depending on the pollution control criteria adopted in the catchment. IFD coefficients will be developed by Council for the recurrence intervals required for the design of the G.P.T's. A hydraulic loss will be added to the system if a G.P.T. is retrofitted to the system at some future date. Therefore, in the interim, allowance shall be made in the hydraulic calculations for an additional head loss at the outlet of all pipe systems to allow for losses through a G.P.T. The additional head loss shall be equal to 1.5 times the velocity head at a potential site for a G.P.T. or at the outlet for a Q2 event. G.P.T.'s are to be located such that a downstream overland flow path through public road, park or reserve is available to carry any surcharge flows which may occur by blockage of the G.P.T. or other causes. A downstream overland flow path through private lands or easement is not appropriate. 2.5.3.13 PAN EVAPORATION RATES Pan evaporation rates for Region 1 as shown on Council Drawing A4-11279 shall be based on pan evaporation records for Mt Tamborine. Pan evaporation rates for all other regions as shown on Council Drawing A4-11279 shall be based on pan evaporation records for Jimboomba in Table 2.5C.
