Amendment VC154

Victoria Planning Provision changesbull New clause (5318) and changes to an existing clause

(5503) to expand the stormwater requirements to more development types

bull New objectives to manage toxicants and encourage broader benefits of stormwater management

bull Developments which do not require planning permission

bull Vicsmart applications

bull Applications for land within development or incorporated plans approved before the amendment

bull Extensions and works lt 50m2

bull Applications after the amendment to amend existing planning permits

Stormwater management objectives + standard (W1)

Stormwater management objectives + standard (W2)+ Site management objectives + standard (W3)

Decision guidelines

Same for Clause 5503 (townhouses)

Clause 5318 ndash subdivision

Stormwater management standard W1 The stormwater management system should be bull Designed and managed in accordance with the requirements and

to the satisfaction of the relevant drainage authoritybull Designed and managed in accordance with the requirements and

to the satisfaction of the water authority where reuse of stormwater is proposed

bull Designed to meet the current best practice performance objectives for stormwater quality as contained in the BPEM

bull Designed to ensure that flows downstream of the subdivision site are restricted to pre-development levels unless increased flows are approved by the relevant drainage authority and there are no detrimental downstream impacts

bull Designed to contribute to cooling improving local habitat and providing attractive and enjoyable spaces

31

Clause 5318 ndash Buildings and works

Standard W2The stormwater management system should be designed to

bull Meet the current best practice performance objectives for stormwater quality as contained in the BPEM

bull Contribute to cooling improving local habitat and providing attractive and enjoyable spaces

bull Minimise the impact of chemical pollutants and other toxicants including by but not limited to bunding and covering of roofing of storage loading and work areas

32

Townhouses - Standard B9

Clause 5503 ndash Permeability and stormwater management objectives and standard B9

Objectivesbull Similar to 5318 (including the cooling liveability

objective)bull gt20 perviousness objective (unchanged)

Standardbull NEW - cooling liveability objectivebull NEW ndash requirement to meet BPEM

What does this all mean

X Not development contributions (DCPICP)

47

When to use

bull Not in MW DSS or growth area where therersquos an existing framework for funding SW treatment

bull Onsite treatment not practical or desirable

bull To fund planned localregional stormwater treatment works in that catchment via an existing offset scheme

bull Council and developer both agree to it

48

OffsetsExample ndash Kingston Offset Scheme

bull Whorsquos going to monitor compliance and how

The detail is in the permit conditions

Application requirements

ldquoAn application must be accompanied by details of the proposed stormwater management system including drainage works and retention detention and discharges of stormwater to the drainage systemrdquo ndash Clause 5318

What does the planning scheme require

3 Written response to standardsHow does your proposal comply with the requirements

52

Application

bull Landscape plan ndash if planting design passive irrigation etc forms part of response to requirements show

bull Site management plan (depending on Council)

bull Separate WSUDIWM plan showing all features on a stripped back background

bull Concept WSUD asset design ndash larger assets only (wetlands bioretention basins sed basin etc) ndash sufficient design detail to confirm spatial requirements

PlansPermit conditions

bull Detailed engineering design bull Site Management Plan (final)bull Asset maintenance plan (final)bull Handover arrangements (if public)

54

STORM ndash Online toolbull Print out of STORM reportbull Make sure meets 100 or

results match plan

Modelling - SWQ

MUSIC ndash Proprietary softwarebull Provide a copy of the model filebull Print out the modelling resultsbull Provide summary of your model

inputs for each treatment train (iecatchment size impervious treatment area etc)

bull Provide a print out of the model schematic

Bonus points bull Provide details of model

parametersbull Provide results of MUSIC auditor

run (if using Melbourne Water MUSIC Guidelines)

56

Assessment against standards

bull Say what you have done (or will do) to meet each standardbull Donrsquot forget (if WSUD) details of maintenance and asset

ownershipbull Where applicable be explicit why yoursquove chosen (or not chosen) to

respond the way you have Egbull Opportunitiesbull Site constraintsbull Practicaloperational issues bull Brief dot point summary of options analysis if complex

Clause 5318 ndash subdivision

Stormwater management standard W1 The stormwater management system should be bull Designed and managed in accordance with the requirements and

to the satisfaction of the relevant drainage authoritybull Designed and managed in accordance with the requirements and

to the satisfaction of the water authority where reuse of stormwater is proposed

bull Designed to meet the current best practice performance objectives for stormwater quality as contained in the BPEM

bull Designed to ensure that flows downstream of the subdivision site are restricted to pre-development levels unless increased flows are approved by the relevant drainage authority and there are no detrimental downstream impacts

bull Designed to contribute to cooling improving local habitat and providing attractive and enjoyable spaces

31

Clause 5318 ndash Buildings and works

Standard W2The stormwater management system should be designed to

bull Meet the current best practice performance objectives for stormwater quality as contained in the BPEM

bull Contribute to cooling improving local habitat and providing attractive and enjoyable spaces

bull Minimise the impact of chemical pollutants and other toxicants including by but not limited to bunding and covering of roofing of storage loading and work areas

32

Townhouses - Standard B9

bull Developer enters into an agreement with relevant drainage authority to financially contribute to off-site stormwatermanagement in lieu of providing on-site treatment

bull Already available for residential subdivisions in Melbourne (Clause 56) through MWCs Stormwater Quality Offset scheme

What are stormwater quality offsets

X Not development contributions (DCPICP)

47

When to use

bull Not in MW DSS or growth area where therersquos an existing framework for funding SW treatment

bull Onsite treatment not practical or desirable

bull To fund planned localregional stormwater treatment works in that catchment via an existing offset scheme

bull Council and developer both agree to it

The detail is in the permit conditions

Application requirements

ldquoAn application must be accompanied by details of the proposed stormwater management system including drainage works and retention detention and discharges of stormwater to the drainage systemrdquo ndash Clause 5318

What does the planning scheme require

But alsohellipNeed to provide sufficient information to Council which demonstrates that you comply and how you comply with all the other standards ndash eg urban coolinghabitatetc BPEM site management pollutant control infiltration (as relevant to development type

Offsets

bull Developer enters into an agreement with relevant drainage authority to financially contribute to off-site stormwatermanagement in lieu of providing on-site treatment

bull Already available for residential subdivisions in Melbourne (Clause 56) through MWCs Stormwater Quality Offset scheme

What are stormwater quality offsets

X Not drainage contributions (MWC drainage scheme)

X Not development contributions (DCPICP)

47

When to use

bull Not in MW DSS or growth area where therersquos an existing framework for funding SW treatment

bull Onsite treatment not practical or desirable

bull To fund planned localregional stormwater treatment works in that catchment via an existing offset scheme

bull Council and developer both agree to it
