    - Any proposals involving schools, hospitals, bed and breakfast accommodation, eco-tourism, housing for older people, retirement villages, childcare centres, music festivals are considered particularly vulnerable during bushfires and are therefore required to meet some specific requirements. In particular, an emergency/evacuation plan is considered an important component of the strategy to plan for any bushfire risk. The consent authority is the local council but only after the RFS has issued a BUSHFIRE SAFETY AUTHORITY.

Recent Projects

Wastewater Transfer Centre

Commercial developments like the one shown in the image, will require a Watercycle Management Study to demonstrate the required stormwater treatment. In the example shown storm water from the exterior hard stand surfaces needed to be treated by biotension basin, sediment basin and constructed wetlands. Where as the wash down water from the putresible waste management system required an anaerobic treatment system followed by constructed wetland.

A Water Cycle Management Study was prepared for a proposed prayer hall and cemetry with on-site wastewater management facilities.

Proposed Boarding House

With limited soil depth and available land, this project needed an Aerated Water Treatment System and 4 sand mounds.

SYDNEY OLYMPIC PARK – LAKE BELVEDERE

The 34m2 floating wetland was positioned to surround half the island (2 x 4m x 4m) and placed as close as possible to the eroding bank to allow roots to bind into the submerged sediment and dampen the currents that are eroding the island.
