C3 Obtaining approvals
C3.1 Pre-lodgement consultation
Applicants are strongly advised
to make an appointment with
a Council Assessment Officer
before detailed plans for the
proposal are commenced. This
will help identify important issues
at an early stage.
A number of Fact Sheets are
available from Council free of
charge. They define the various
categories of development and
help an applicant through the
various Council policies that may
need to be addressed during the
design and construction phases
of any development.
C3.2 The Development Application (DA)
Council’s DA package is available from:
. Customer Service Centre
1 Belgrave St., Manly OR
. www.manly.nsw.gov.au
It contains information and
checklists required for an
application to be accepted,
processed and resolved by
Council.
C1 Structure of the document
This specification present general
guidelines which apply to all
development within the Manly
local government area.
The method of stormwater
management shall depend on the
location of the site. There are four
main types of controls available
and these are designated into
zones 1, 2, 3 or 4.
The site shall fall within one of
these zones which is read from
Map D in appendix 10.
The various types of controls
are described in Section 3 and
the application of each zone is
described in sections 4 to 7.
Apart from these zones, other
methods of stormwater control
can be used where applicable.
These are outlined in sections 8
and 9.
Design criteria, graphs, charts
and maps are given in the
appendix.

Step 1
Read section 1. General.
Step 2
Read section 3. Controls.
Identify where the site is
located in reference to Map D
in appendix 10 to establish the
type of control applicable.
Step 3
Read either section 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
or 9 & the relevant appendix
to design an appropriate
system for the site.
These sections detail general
design guidelines against
which all applications must be
assessed.
iv 1 Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
1. GENERAL
This specification compliments
Council’s Stormwater Policy.
It has been prepared to provide
uniform guidelines for the control
and discharge of stormwater from
properties.
To ensure that stormwater
drainage pollution and
degradation does not occur as
a result of any development,
the following controls are to be
implemented:
. the provision of on-site
stormwater detention
facilities to control the rate
of stormwater runoff
. the provision of on-site
absorption systems to
reduce stormwater loading
on the receiving drainage
system
. the installation of water
quality control devices
such as trash screens,
gross pollutant traps, water
quality ponds and the like
to protect the quality of
receiving waters
. the installation of appropriate scour and erosion control devices to
attenuate flows.
Implementation of any of the
above practices is complimentary
to the operation of the natural
water cycle.

4Manly Council—June 2003
5 Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
4. ZONE 1: ON-SITE STORMWATER DETENTION CONTROL
4.1 General Sites within Zone 1 shall require
the installation of On-site
Stormwater Detention (OSD)
facilities to control the rate of
runoff from the site, as a result
of development, such that the
runoff after development shall be
less than the runoff prior to the
development. Runoff from the
developed site shall be reduced
to a quantity with an impervious
portion of 35% or less.
Within Zone 1, an OSD system
shall be required for all proposed
developments, re-developments
or new land subdivisions
(‘greenfields’ subdivisions
where the condition of the site is
currently ‘state of nature’), except
where:
. the development is a
one-off extension or an
addition, involving an
increase in impervious
area, which is less than
50m2 and the total existing
impervious areas of the
site does not exceed 35%
. the developed site will
have a total impervious
percentage or area, of no
more than 35% or 250m2,
whichever is the lessor,
unless it is a new allotment
created from a ‘greenfields’
subdivision — in this
case, an OSD system
shall be required for any
development on these
allotments
‘Greenfields’ subdivisions
shall include those
allotments in Boronia Lane
North, Boronia Lane South,
Boronia Lane West and
Castle Circuit, Seaforth
recently released by The
Department of Planning,
Infrastructure and Natural
Resources (DPINR)
. the applicant can
demonstrate, to Council’s
satisfaction, that the site
is currently within a flood-
affected zone, and that the
application* of an OSD
system at the subject site
would be of no benefit
in reducing the adverse
flooding impacts
. an alternative method
of stormwater disposal,
such as an absorption
system, is used—however
the design of the on-site
absorption system must be
supported by soil data and
appropriate calculations.
(refer to appendix 3 for
guidelines).
* Note: Council may require as an alternative method of stormwater disposal, such as source control (e.g. on-site absorption) or source control used in
combination.
4.2 Design objectiveThe design objective is to
ensure that the peak flowrate
immediately downstream
of the site in development
is not increased due to the
development. This is achieved
by providing adequate storage to
compensate. All storm events up
to and including the 100-year ARI
post-development shall be limited
to the Permissible Site Discharge
(PSD).
4.3 Critical storm events
The critical storm events, which
must be considered, shall be the
5-year and 100-year Average
Recurrence Intervals (ARI).
4.4 Permissible site discharge
Runoff from the site shall be
limited to the Permissible Site
Discharge (PSD).
The PSD shall be calculated as
the peak 5-year ARI storm event
for the pre-development site
based on the following impervious
percentages:
. 0%—applies to all
‘greenfields’ developments
Greenfields developments
shall include the newly
created allotments in
Boronia Lane North,
Boronia Lane South,
Boronia Lane West and
Castle Circuit, Seaforth,

Resources (DPINR)
. 35% or 250m2 (whichever
is the lessor)—if the total
existing site impervious
area exceeds either of
these
. X%—if the total existing site impervious area is less than 35% and where X is the percentage of the actual impervious area but less than 250m2.
The maximum discharge into
the kerb and gutter is 25l/s. This
shall be the PSD if the total site’s
runoff is to be discharged at the
kerb*.
* Note: No more than two outlets at a distance of 15m apart shall be permitted to discharge at any kerb along any one property frontage.
The maximum discharge velocity
to the kerb shall be restricted to
2.0m/s.
The PSD shall be calculated
using one of the following
methods:
. design graphs for the
relevant residential zone
given in appendix 7
. the Rational Method,
in accordance with the
Australian Rainfall and
Runoff, Volume 1, 1987 or
later editions, or
. the ILSAX program for
urban stormwater drainage
design and analysis,
Version 2.13, April 1993 or
later, or
. the DRAINS program for
urban stormwater system
design and analysis,
Version 2001.1 by Geoffrey
O’ Loughlin and Bob Stack,
April 2001 or later.
The rainfall intensities to be used
in the Manly Council area are
given in appendix 5.
4.5 Site storage requirement
The minimum Site Storage
Requirement (SSR) or the basic
volume shall be the volume
needed to reduce the runoff from
the peak 100-year ARI storm
event for the developed site back
to the PSD or maximum discharge.
The SSR can be determined using
one of the following methods:
. design graphs for the
relevant residential zone
given in appendix 7
. ILSAX program—
hydrograph model
. DRAINS program—
hydrograph model.
Computation methods based on
approximate triangular method
or the Rational method is not
acceptable.
4.6 What must drain to the detention system
Wherever possible, the total site
runoff shall be controlled through
the OSD facility.
If not possible, some of the
pervious surfaces (grassed or
vegetated areas) may be allowed
to bypass the system.
Stormwater runoff from all new
and existing impervious areas
must be routed through the OSD
system. If this is not achievable,
a maximum 30m2 of impervious
area may be permitted to bypass
the system.
The total area allowed to bypass
the OSD system, which includes
pervious and impervious areas,
must not be greater than 20% of
the total site area. Council may
vary this requirement where site
topography prohibits reasonable
construction.
The total flows exiting the site
must be taken into consideration.
The total of the runoff bypassing
the OSD system and the flows
controlled through the OSD
system must be no greater than
the PSD or maximum discharge.
4.7 Design parameters
The following design parameters
are to be used, where applicable,
in the model analysis:
. soil type = 2.5
. antecedent moisture
content, AMC = 3
. infiltration rates:
initial paved = 1mm
grassed = 5mm
. storms, generated in
accordance with the
Australian Rainfall and
Runoff, Volume 1, 1987 or
later editions
. time of concentration,
calculated using the
kinematic wave equation
given in the Australian
6Manly Council—June 2003
7 Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
Rainfall and Runoff,
Volume 1, 1987, page 300,
or program generated.
For the purpose of
determining the time of
concentration:
- the length of flow, L, is
the distance from the
furthest point of the site
to the exit point
- The surface roughness,
n* is as given in the
Australian Rainfall and
Runoff, Volume 1, 1987,
page 300
- the slope is the average
gradient of the flowpath
. type ‘0’ inlets are not to be
used. supplementary areas are
not to be used
. orifice size and discharge
from the OSD system are
given in appendix 6 or can
be estimated using the
following equation:
Q = C.A.√(2.g.h
Where:
A = area of orifice outlet in m2
h = depth of water above
centreline of orifice
outlet in metres
C = discharge coefficient =
0.6**
g = acceleration due to gravity
= 9.81m/s2
Q = discharge rate in m3/s or
103l/s
* Note 1: The soil type in the
Manly local government
area is diverse. Where the
designer considers that
the site’s soil landscape
is significantly different to
the values as given above,
they may be varied upon
submission of appropriate
supporting information.
For more detailed soil
landscape information,
reference is made to Manly
Council’s State of the
Environment Report 1999
–2000, Section 1.3.1.3
Soil Landscapes.
** Note 2: This value is for
a flat plate with a circular
shaped square edge orifice
hole. ‘C’ varies between
0.5 to 1.0 depending on
the type of outlet control
to be used. A pipe stub
of approximately 100mm
long, may be permitted
for diameters greater
than 90mm. Smaller
diameter pipe stubs are
not acceptable due to
the possibility of frequent
choking and blockages.
Please note that the
accuracy of the controlled
outflow may not be
achieved when a pipe stub
is to be used instead of an
orifice plate.
4.8 Hydraulic grade line
When the OSD system is to
be connected directly into the
receiving drainage system, the
discharge rate may be affected by
the downstream water level.
Friction and head losses in pipes
and pits may affect the discharge
control, especially when the
invert level of the OSD outlet
is considerably lower than the
ground level at the connection
point. In this circumstance
hydraulic grade line calculations
must be performed to check that
the tailwater level will not affect
the rate of discharge from the
OSD system.
Outlet control or a ‘drowned
orifice’ is generally unacceptable
due to inaccuracies (too many
variables introduced) into the
model, which may inadvertently
cause discharge into the
receiving drainage system which
is greater than the PSD.
The peak flowrate in the
receiving drainage system can
be calculated using the ILSAX
or DRAINS program. Hydraulic
calculations can be performed
manually, or for more complex
models such as for determining
water surface profiles in creeks or
rivers, the HEC-RAS program can
be used.
Manual calculations are to
be carried out in accordance
with current design practices
and principals as outlined in
the Australian Rainfall and
Runoff, volume 1,1987 or later
editions and this specification
and submitted by a suitably
qualified person with experience
in hydrology and hydraulics.
4.9 Outlet control devices
Various outlet control devices
may be used to control the rate of
discharge from the OSD system.
These are specified below.
6Manly Council—June 2003
7 Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
4.9.1 Square-edged orifice plate
A flat stainless steel plate, 3mm
in thickness and approximately
200mm x 200mm minimum
dimension (dependent on the
outlet size) is fixed onto an
oversized pipe outlet. The circular
shaped orifice of specified
diameter is pre-drilled centrally
into the plate. This hole is tooled
to the exact calculated dimension
to obtain the required outflow rate.
The plate is to be permanently
fixed into the wall of the control pit
with four (4) ‘dyna’ bolts to prevent
its unauthorised removal.
The advantage of using an orifice
plate is it provides the designer
greater flexibility and accuracy in
controlling the rate of outflow.
The orifice equation to be used is:
Q = C.A.√(2.g.h)
For a square-edged orifice,
C = 0.6
The above equation can be re-
arranged to obtain the required
diameter for the maximum
discharge.
For a circular shaped orifice, the
diameter:
D = √(4.A/π)
Where
A = area of orifice hole in m2
π = 3.1416
4.9.2 Pit and pipe losses
The outlet control is determined
by calculating the friction and
entry losses in the outlet pipe
and pit leading from the OSD
facility to the point of connection,
to control the discharge rate. This
method would require hydraulic
grade line calculations for various
storm events and duration.
Manual calculations are to be
carried out in accordance with
current design practices and
principals as outlined in the
Australian Rainfall and Runoff,
volume 1, 1987 or later editions.
4.9.3 Pipe stub
This type of control is not
recommended because the
diameter of the nominal pipe stub
is not as accurate as an orifice
plate, which can be machined
to the exacting dimension. A
short stub of nominal length
approximately 100mm long can
be used to control the rate of
discharge from the OSD facility.
The orifice equation can be used
to determine the outflow rate.
For a pipe stub orifice, C = 0.8
The advantage of a pipe stub
is that it is a permanent fixture
that is not easily tampered with.
However it is not acceptable for
diameters less than 90mm, as
they tend to create a choke which
is difficult to clean.
4.10Trash screensA rustproof screen or cage is to
be used to protect the outlet from
potential blockages.
This screen or cage must be
removable for maintenance and
inspections.
The screen or cage should
completely protect the outlet and
be made of Lysaghts maxi-mesh
RH3030 or similar material. The
minimum surface area of the
screen is to be 50 times the area
of the orifice outlet.
The screen or cage is to be
located at a distance 1.5 times
the orifice diameter or 200mm
away, whichever is the greater.
Where possible, the main
incoming line is to flow across
the face of the mesh.
The screen or cage should also
include a lifting handle for ease
of removal for inspection and
maintenance.
4.11Detention storage facilities
Detention storage facilities can
be provided in three main areas.
These being:
. underground storage—in
tanks or oversized pipes, or
. above ground storage—as
a shallow pond or on
driveways and carparks, or
. a combination of the two (2) above.
Above ground storage is
preferable where it can be
provided with minimal adjustment
to existing levels and where
they do not create hazards to
pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
For this reason, ponding depths
must be kept to a minimum.
Allowable ponding depths are
given below.
Storage facilities shall be
designed and located to safely
convey all stormwater flows to the
Council road gutter or drainage
system. Otherwise, the storage
facility is to be moved to a more
suitable location.
8Manly Council—June 2003
9 Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
However, where likely overflow
from these facilities is across
private property and a suitable
overflow path cannot be provided,
the overflow shall be contained
within an underground piped
drainage system with a design
capacity equivalent to the peak
100-year ARI storm event.
This underground system (both
pits and pipes) shall be designed
to receive and fully contain
controlled flows and overflows
from the detention facility.
A surcharge path shall also be
defined even where the 100-year
ARI flows can be maintained
within the system in case of
blockages. Easements are to
be provided in private property
over pipe systems and surcharge
paths.
OSD systems must be located
external to all building footprints.
This includes basements, ground
floor parking areas, garages,
or patios unless all access
points and emergency overflow
provisions are external to the
structure.
4.11.1 Underground storage systems
. are not to be used where
suitable above ground
storage facility is available
. are to be designed to
be structurally sound to

routine inspections and
maintenance requirements
. must be constructed
from reinforced concrete,
pre-fabricated material
or proprietary systems
approved by Council
. must have at least one (1)
inspection access grate
over the outlet — this
inspection access must
be a minimum 600mm x
600mm in dimension
. must be in accordance with
AS2865 – Safe Working
in a Confined Space — to
eliminate gas build-up and
for ease of maintenance
at least one (1) additional
access at the extreme
corner of the tank must be
provided
. must have additional
access points at distances
of no less than 3000mm
. clearance height in the
tank must not be less than
500mm
. must have step irons where
the tank depth exceeds
1200mm
. must be located outside
the root zones of trees that
are to be retained
. must be located in areas,
which will not impede the
flow of water or undermine
existing structures or
services.
4.11.2 Above ground storage systems in areas other than driveways and carparks
. must not be located
across the boundary of an
allotment
. must not be located such
as to restrict pedestrian
access from the public
road to the building
. must be adequately
soundproofed to minimise
noise when stormwater is
collected or discharged
. are to be located where
they can be readily
accessible for inspections
and routine cleaning—
for SEPP5 developments,
the OSD facility shall
be located in common
areas and not in private

for strata subdivisions,
the location is subject to
Council assessment but
the intent is to ensure
that the facility is located
in an area, which is
easily accessible for

routine inspections and
maintenance requirements
. if a built structure is to be
used to retain water, it
shall be of masonry type
construction
. control structures must be
located where they can
be easily accessed for
inspections and routine
cleaning.

. the maximum depth of ponding in landscaped areas must not exceed 1200mm.
4.11.3 Above ground storage systems on paved driveways and carparks
• must not be located such
as to restrict pedestrian
access from the public
road to the building
• control structures must be
located where they can
be easily accessed for
inspections and routine
cleaning
. must be graded to drain
completely—gradients
shall not be less than 0.5%
. designed in a manner,
which minimises
inconvenience,
unsightliness and hazard
. must be totally
impermeable
. must not allow water to pond more than 200mm in depth.
4.12Surface runoffStormwater runoff from the site or
from upstream properties passing
through the site is not permitted
to be concentrated, increased,
re-directed or otherwise onto
any property. This may require
diverting existing surface flows
safely to the street or into the
OSD facility.
Where this runoff is to be
controlled through the OSD
facility, the OSD system must
be designed to cater for the
additional inflow.
Provision must also be made for
emergency overflows out of the
OSD facility. Overflow weirs or
spillways must be provided for
unexpected blockages or flows in
excess of the design storm. Likely
overflow from these facilities
must be fully contained within
designated flow paths. These flow
paths shall be designed for the
peak 100-year ARI storm event.
The use of open channels, kerbs,
pits and pipes may be used to
contain runoff within the flow path.
The width of overflow weirs shall
not exceed more than 2000mm
across any property frontage.
4.13Finished levelsIt is most important to ensure that
adequate freeboard or clearance
between the maximum depth of
ponding in the OSD system and
the levels of all habitable floor
areas, garages, storage facilities,
etc., are provided so that damage
to goods and materials, nuisance
flooding, or hazard is avoided.
Developments will not be
permitted within known floodways
unless it can be proven that
the development will not be
affected by floodwater nor will the
development cause flooding both
upstream or downstream of the
development. Council’s Policy is
the removal of such flood affected
developments from known
floodways and the prohibition
of future developments in such
floodways, where necessary.
For OSD facilities and overflow
paths, the following freeboard
requirements will be required:
10Manly Council—June 2003
11 Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
• 150mm—warehouse,
factory and carport floor
areas
• 300mm—office, living rooms, retail space, store rooms, and show rooms.
Flood waters (100-year flood
level):
• 300mm—to enclosed
garages and carparks
• 500mm—to all internal building floor levels which includes residential, commercial and retail.
4.14Disposal of site runoff
4.14.1 Discharge points
The maximum concentrated
stormwater discharge to a formed
kerb and gutter shall be limited
to 25l/s at any single point. A
maximum of two (2) outlet points
from the site shall be permitted,
provided the outlets are spaced
no less than 15m apart.
Outlets to the kerb must be sized
adequately with at least 50mm
cover. Where cover is inadequate,
the following pipe equivalencies
shall be used:
. 100mm-dia equivalent to
one (1) 100mm x 100mm x
6mm thick RHS. 150mm-dia equivalent to
one (1) 200mm x 100mm x
6mm thick RHS. 225mm-dia equivalent to
two (2) 200mm x 100mm x
6mm thick RHS
. outlets through existing
sandstone kerbing—drilling through sandstone kerbing may be permitted but should seek advice from Council’s Heritage Officer.
The pipe class must also be
adequate to withstand traffic
loads.
All RHS are to be hot-dipped
galvanised or stainless steel
material.
Discharging into a watercourse or
channel may be permitted subject
to joint approval from Council and
other relevant authority. Where
approval is granted, adequate
protection against scouring and
erosion at the point of discharge
shall be provided. Council should
be consulted in regards to
appropriate stabilisation treatment
to be used.
The maximum discharge velocity
into an unlined (other than
concrete) channel shall be in
accordance with the Department
of Sustainable Natural
Resources document ‘Managing
Urban Stormwater, Soils and
Construction’, table 5.1 maximum
discharge flow velocities in
waterways.
Discharge from the site is to be
taken to the nearest Council
drainage system, where the
quantity exceeds 25l/s or into an
approved piped drainage system
or stormwater channel if this
cannot be achieved.
Where an existing Council
drainage line is available,
connection into the system may
be permitted subject to Council
approval. The connection may
require the construction of new
inlet pits and the laying of a new
pipeline, to Council standards.
Council encourages minimising
the number of pits, junctions and
pipe lengths in the road reserve.
However pits are preferable
over bend joins to eliminate
blind junctions such that ease of
maintenance can be achieved.
Reference should be made to
Council’s Specification for Stormwater Drainage for details
of pipe and pit design.
4.14.2 Gravity drainage
Stormwater drainage should
follow the natural fall of the land
and be discharged by a gravity
system. Diverting stormwater
runoff from one catchment
(or sub-catchment) to another
catchment (or sub-catchment)
is generally not permitted.
Council will only approve
drainage against the natural
grade of the land in the following
circumstances:
. downstream property
owners have indicated
that they are not prepared
to grant easements to
permit the drainage of
the property to follow the
natural fall of the land, and. Council has assessed that
the proposed receiving
drainage system can
adequately cope with the
additional runoff.

11 Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
5. ZONE 2: ON-SITE STORMWATER RETENTION (absorption)
On-site stormwater retention
(absorption) systems are to
be implemented in zone 2.
Absorption systems shall be
provided in soft landscape areas,
such as in garden areas, and
other vegetated on-ground areas.
Where ever possible, on-site
absorption is to be provided in
hard landscaped areas, under
driveways and other paved
surfaces. The use of porous
pavement (pervious paving) is
preferred.
Stormwater collected on the roof
and paved areas (all impervious
surfaces) are to be directed into
the absorption system. A fail safe
overflow outlet must be installed
to ensure that any overflows will
be directed to the street.
In general, absorption systems
will be required or permitted if the
following applies:
. the site is located within
zone 2 where on-site
absorption is permitted,
and
. a geotech report, showing
at least one (1) bore log
at the proposed location
of the absorption facility,
has been submitted which
indicates that the soil
has sufficient absorptive
characteristics to consider
it appropriate, or
. irrespective of whether the
site is located within zone
2, the site drains towards
the rear, and downstream
property owners have
indicated that they are
not prepared to grant
easements to permit the
drainage of the property to
follow the natural fall of the
land, and
. drainage against the
natural grade of the land
is not permitted because
Council has assessed that
the proposed receiving
drainage system cannot
adequately cope with the
additional runoff, and
• a geotech report, showing
at least one (1) bore log
at the proposed location
of the absorption facility,
has been submitted which
indicates that the soil
has sufficient absorptive
characteristics to consider
it appropriate for the site.
All sites within zone 2 must
provide for on-site absorption
unless the applicant can
demonstrate that on-site
absorption is not suitable by
the submission of relevant
evidence from a qualified geotech
engineer indicating that the soil
absorption characteristics and
site constraints prevents its
application.
Minimum design requirements for
the use of absorption systems are
given in appendix 3.

13 Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
6. ZONE 3: SCOUR AND EROSION CONTROL
6.1 GeneralProperties within zone 3 are
required to control its runoff to
protect adjoining properties, bush
land, roadways and receiving
waters from degradation due to
silt laden stormwater runoff as a
result of any development and/or
concentration of runoff using
appropriate scour and erosion
control devices. Reference is
made to Council’s Specification
for Stormwater Drainage.
Erosion control shall be provided
as follows:
. appropriate scour
protection devices installed
at the outlet to stormwater
conduits, and
. installation of pollution control devices at the source, on-line*, off-line or at the end of the line to control sediment laden overland stormwater flows.
* Note: stormwater management measures shall not be located on-line in water courses or within riparian zones or areas of remnant native vegetation.
Scour protection devices shall
include embankment stabilisation
e.g. rock walls, concrete aprons,
gabions, turfing, jute mesh,
energy dissipating units, or other
more appropriate erosion control
devices approved by Council.
Preference is for ‘soft engineering’
solutions.
Please note that stormwater
devices are not appropriate within
or adjacent to creek locations.
In this regard, The Department
of Infrastructure, Planning and
Natural Resources (DIPNR) and
NSW Fisheries shall be contacted
for advice about suitable erosion
control measures here.
Control devices may also
be necessary as part of a
development to remove pollutants
during the ‘first flush’. These
devices shall be installed
within the site and may include
proprietary items such as
Humeceptors or CDS units, silt
and grease arrestors approved
by Council. Installation of these
devices shall be in accordance
with the manufacturers
specification.
Other sediment control
devices such as stilling basins,
constructed wetlands shall
be required for large-scale
developments. Council will
provide guidelines as to when
these are required as part of
the Conditions of Consent.
These shall include land and
community title subdivisions.
Design of these devices shall be
in accordance with the Managing
Urban Stormwater, Soils and
Construction Manual by the
NSW Department of Housing,
August 1998.
It will also be necessary to install
silt traps in all stormwater pits to
contain silt and debris. Silt traps
shall be installed at the bottom
of pits at a depth of 200mm to
capture silts and fines. Weep
holes shall be drilled into the
base of the pit to ensure that it
does not permanently hold water
and create a breeding ground for
insects. Where the pit is located
over impervious material, subsoil
drains will also need to be laid.
6.2 Soil and water management plan
Any development in zone 3
and zone 4 shall require the
submission of a soil and water
management plan. This Plan must
be approved by Council prior to
the commencement of any works.
Sediment control measures must
be taken into consideration during
any development. Specification
shall be in accordance with the
Managing Urban Stormwater,
Soils and Construction Manual
by the NSW Department of
Housing, August 1998.
All sediment control devices
are to be installed prior to any
commencement of clearing and
earthworks on the site. Ongoing
maintenance of these devices
during construction will be
required.
Council may request a
maintenance schedule to ensure
that the devices are cleaned on a
regular basis.

13 Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
7. ZONE 4: ON-SITE STORMWATER DETENTION + SCOUR/EROSION CONTROL
7.1 General A combination of on-site
stormwater detention and scour/
erosion control shall be required
for all sites within zone 4. Sites in
this zone are within the Penguin
Critical Habitat and Potential
Habitat areas and encompasses
Manly Point and Little Manly
Cove.
On-site Stormwater Detention
(OSD) shall be required to control
all runoff from the site, as a result
of any development. Runoff
from the developed site shall be
reduced to a quantity with an
impervious portion of 0%, that is,
the ‘state of nature’ condition.
Outflow shall be attenuated by
the use of appropriate scour and
erosion devices as outlined for
zone 3 in section 6.
7.2 Design objectiveThe design objective is to
ensure that the peak flowrate
immediately downstream of the
site in development is reduced
to runoff for a pre-development
‘state of nature’ situation. This is
achieved by providing adequate
storage to compensate. All storm
events up to and including the
100-year ARI post-development
shall be limited to the Permissible
Site Discharge (PSD).
7.3 Critical storm events
The critical storm events, which
must be considered, shall be the
5-year and 100-year Average
Recurrence Intervals (ARI).
7.4 Permissible site discharge
Runoff from the site shall be
limited to the Permissible Site
Discharge (PSD).
The PSD shall be calculated as
the peak 5-year ARI storm event
for the pre-development site
based on the following impervious
percentages:
. 0%—applies to all developments within Zone 4.
The maximum discharge shall be
25l/s. This shall be the PSD if the
calculated pre-development runoff
is greater than 25l/s.
The maximum discharge velocity
to the kerb shall be limited to
2.0m/s.
The PSD shall be calculated using
one of the following methods:
. design graphs for the
relevant residential zone
given in the appendix 7
based on 0% impervious
area
. the Rational Method,
in accordance with the
Australian Rainfall and
Runoff, Volume 1, 1987 or
later editions, or
. the ILSAX program for
urban stormwater drainage
design and analysis,
Version 2.13, April 1993 or
later, or
. the DRAINS program for
urban stormwater system
design and analysis,
Version 2001.1 by Geoffrey
O’ Loughlin and Bob Stack,
April 2001 or later.
The rainfall intensities to be used
in the Manly Council area are

7.14.1 Discharge points
The maximum concentrated
stormwater discharge shall be
limited to 25l/s at any single point.
Discharge shall not be permitted
to ‘free-fall’ over cliff faces. It must
be piped to the lowest point with
regard to aesthetics.
Discharge outlets are to have
silt/grease arrestors and trash
screens as required for zone 1
and appropriate scour/erosion
control as defined for zone 3.
Discharging into a watercourse or
channel may be permitted subject
to joint approval from Council and
other relevant authority. Where
approval is granted, adequate
protection against scouring and
erosion at the point of discharge
shall be provided. Council should
be consulted in regards to
appropriate stabilisation treatment
to be used.
7.14.2 Gravity drainage
Refer to section 4.14.2.
14Manly Council—June 2003
15 Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
8. MECHANICAL PUMPS
The use of mechanical pumps
for the drainage of sub-surface,
or seepage water in a basement
car parking area or minor surface
runoff collected from weather
exposed areas less than 30m2,
is permitted.
The pumping of stormwater
runoff is generally not permitted
unless gravity drainage cannot
be achieved in accordance with
the criteria given in section 4.14
Disposal of site runoff and
that an absorption system, in
accordance with section 5
Zone 2: On-site stormwater
retention (absorption), does not
apply or is found to be unsuitable.
Minimum requirements for the
use of mechanical pump systems
are given in appendix 2.
Direct connection of the pump
rising main into the kerb will not
be permitted. Where discharge
to the kerb or road reserve is
proposed, the pumped water
must be conveyed across the
public footway by gravity.
Direct connection into an existing
pipe is discouraged due to the
possibility of back flowing. If
direct discharge into an existing
stormwater pipe is required, a pit
must be constructed at the point
of connection. A non-return valve
must be installed on the upstream
pipe of the constructed junction
pit to prevent water flowing back
into the property. Water pressure
in the system must be taken
into consideration as this may
affect the design discharge rate,
rendering it unsuitable to achieve
the required outflow.

permitted for single residential
developments and only in the
following circumstances:
. the Development
Application is for a single
residential dwelling only
and is not a Complying
Development
. downstream property
owners have indicated
that they are not prepared
to grant easements to

A1:DRAINAGE POLICIES D100 DRAINAGE EASEMENTS—GENERAL + S190 STORMWATER CONTROL
D100 Drainage easements—general
The intent of this Policy is to
ensure that access to the public
drainage system on private
property, for the purpose of
inspection, repair or upgrade is
maintained and that the rights
of private easements on public
land including land owned by the
Council is restricted.
For inter-allotment drainage
systems, it is to ensure that
common law rights are attached
to the land to allow another parcel
of land the right to use part or all
of the encumbered land for the
purpose of draining stormwater.
Minimum requirements are as set
out below:
. Where there is an option
between drainage
easements being placed
across adjoining private
land and adjoining public
land, including land owned
by the Council, the Council
requires that the easement
be placed across the
adjoining private land, so
as to not burden public
land (regardless of whether
the land is operational land
or community land within
the meaning of the Local
Government Act, 1993)
with dominant private
interests.
As a matter of practice the
Council does not allow,
and does not want to
allow, any easements to
be placed over public land
which is operational and
held on behalf of the public
in favour of private land
owners.
. That stormwater drainage
easements be required for
all inter-allotment drainage
lines.
. That stormwater drainage
easements be required
for constructed public
drainage systems within
private properties.
. That Council will acquire
drainage easements
over constructed public
drainage systems within
private property, wherever
possible.
. That when a development
is proposed on a
property, which contains
an existing constructed
public drainage system
not contained within
a drainage easement,
development consent and/
or building approval shall
be conditional upon the
property owner agreeing to
grant Council a drainage
easement over the line.
. That when a developer
or property owner
proposes to relocate
and/or reconstruct a public
drainage system within
the site, he shall create
drainage easements in
Council’s favour, to suit the
relocated or reconstructed
drainage system at his
cost.
. That the minimum width of
any drainage easement in
Council’s favour shall be
governed by the minimum
practical width necessary
for standard machinery to
carry out reconstruction of
the public drainage system
to current standards and
requirements.
This shall be no less
than 3.0 metres or for
pipes or culverts, which
have a width greater than
1.0 metre; the drainage
easement shall have a
minimum width equal to
the external width of the
pipe or culvert plus 2.0
metres, rounded to the
nearest 0.1 metre.
. That for drainage
structures such as open
channels, the easement
shall be of sufficient
width to contain the flows
resulting from the peak
storm event of 100-years
ARI or the 1% AEP.
. That for open channels,
Council may at its
discretion require an
easement to be supported
by a “Restriction on the
use of land”, the terms of
which require that the floor
level of all habitable rooms
in any proposed dwelling
24Manly Council—June 2003
25Appendix—Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
be no less than 500mm
above the 100-year flood
level.
. That construction
of buildings or other
permanent structures
over the public drainage
easement is not permitted,
unless the encroachment
still permits reasonable
access for Council to
construct and maintain the
system, that it does not
impede or re-direct flows
within the easement, that
it does not load bear onto
the underlying drainage
structure, and that the
site cannot be reasonably
developed without the
encroachment over the
easement.
Otherwise it will be
necessary to relocate the
drainage system.
. That any structural
supports such as
foundations, piers and
footings located adjacent
to an easement will only
be permitted if they do
not load bear onto the
underlying drainage
structure, and that the
built structure will not be
undermined by any future
maintenance work within
the easement.
. That planting of trees or
large shrubs, particularly
those with extensive root
systems, not be permitted
in drainage easements.
. That any construction
over a public drainage
easement may only be
permitted if it will be
unnecessary to access the
drainage structure over the
encroachment for the life of
the underlying structure.
This can be achieved
if the developer or
proprietor agrees to
undertake upgrading or
reconstruction of the public
drainage system, within
the site to satisfy current
design standards and
any other requirements
imposed by Council and
that adequate provision for
emergency access, in case
of an emergency to clear
blockages, is provided to
Council.
. That Council will not
approve the building
of a structure over a
public easement which
will result in Council
incurring additional costs
by requiring specialised
equipment or construction
techniques in order to
maintain or upgrade the
drainage system within the
easement.
. That public drainage
easements shall be free
of encroachments with a
minimum vertical clearance
from the surface level over
the drainage structure to a
height of 5.0 metres above.
Height clearance will be
governed by vertical swept
path of machinery such
as backhoes, excavators
and cranes and the loading
and unloading of standard
trucks.
. That any paved surface
over the public drain shall
include construction joints
along each longitudinal
edge of the easement to
facilitate access to the
drainage structure. Where
the pavement consists
of reinforced concrete,
the pavement within the
drainage easement shall
consist of liftable sized
panels, designed as simply
supported slabs including
lifting lugs.
. That to enable Council
unobstructed access to the
drainage structure, solid
walls or fences shall not be
permitted to be constructed
over the length of the
easement. Gates and
doors across the easement
may be acceptable subject
to Council approval.
. That to enable Council the
legal right of access to the
drainage structure, a Right
of Carriageway is required
between the public road
reserve and the drain. The
minimum dimensions of
the Right of Carriageway
shall be such as to permit
standard machinery
adequate access to the
structure.
. That all new easements
over drainage lines, shall
be “easements to drain
water” as described
in Part III of Schedule
IVA or Schedule VIII
as applicable, of the
Conveyancing Act 1919,
as amended, except where
otherwise specified by
Council. Council is to be
the body empowered to
24Manly Council—June 2003
25Appendix—Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
release, vary or modify
such easements.
. That easements may
be created pursuant
to Section 88B of the
Conveyancing Act 1919,
as amended, or by Transfer
and Grant, the method
of creation dependent on
the circumstance of each
location.
. That stormwater drainage
easements will not be
required within or over
natural drainage systems
and watercourses. Council
does not favour nor
encourages the piping,
construction within or
over, or interference with
natural drainage systems
and watercourses. Any
proposal to carry out such
works will be subject to
an assessment pursuant
to other relevant Council
policies and joint approval
from other relevant
authorities.
. That the minimum widths
of inter-allotment private
drainage easements varies
according to the pipe sizes,
but shall be 1.0 metres
wide for pipes less than
150mm-diameter and 2.4
metres wide when greater
than 150mm-diameter.
. That Council may approve
an easement over an
existing inter-allotment
drainage structure of a
width less than 1.0 metre.
S190 Stormwater control
The aim of this Policy is to
ensure that stormwater drainage
problems do not occur as a
result of any development. All
applications for development
will be assessed against
the Specification for On-site
Stormwater Management, for
appropriate stormwater control.
The method of stormwater control
to be applied shall depend on the
location of the site. The required
method of stormwater control is
identified on map D.
The following controls may also
be required:
. provision of safe overland
flowpaths
. definition of floodways for
major storms
. provision of on-site
stormwater detention and
on-site absorption systems
to reduce and control
runoff
. removal of flood effected
development from
known floodways and
the prohibition of future
developments in such
floodways
. creation and maintenance
of safe flood paths within
developments
. recommending floor levels
to reduce the risk of flood
damage
. installation of pipe/channel
systems to minimise
hazard to pedestrian and
vehicular traffic cause
by uncontrolled surface
stormwater runoff
. installation of water quality control devices such as trash screens, gross pollutant traps, water quality ponds and the like to protect the quality of receiving waters.
The standards to achieve the
above controls are provided
in Council’s Specification for
Stormwater Drainage and
Specification for On-site
Stormwater Management.

A2:MECHANICAL PUMP SYSTEMS
Mechanical pump systems
shall only be permitted for the
drainage of subsoil water from
under-building areas as specified
in Section 8 Mechanical
pumps. Pumping of surface
stormwater runoff is generally not
permitted unless in section 4.14
Disposal of site runoff, it can
be adequately demonstrated to
Council that an easement cannot
be obtained and that Council
has assessed that the proposed
receiving drainage system
can adequately cope with the
additional runoff being diverted
to it and that on-site absorption
as given in section 5 Zone 2:
On-site stormwater retention
(absorption), is unsuitable.
The following design conditions
shall apply:
. the pump system shall
consist of two (2) pumps,
connected in parallel, with
each pump being capable
of emptying the holding
tank at a rate no greater
than the following:

from weather exposed
areas of less than 30m2
the pump rate shall be
designed to be capable
of accommodating runoff
from all weather exposed
areas during a 100-year
ARI storm event for a
duration of 5 hours and
any subsurface inflow
rate during wet weather
determined by an approved
test procedure or estimated
value
. the capacity of the holding
tank shall be calculated as

A3: ON-SITE STORMWATER RETENTION (ABSORPTION) SYSTEMS
An absorption system may be
approved subject to section 5
Zone 2: On-site stormwater
retention (absorption), and the
following design criteria:
. the soils are not
predominantly loose
aeolian sands or clay soils
- a soil assessment and
permeability test is
required
. clearance distance
between all buildings,
footings, structures and
downstream boundaries
are to be at least 3.0
metres from the proposed
absorption system
. the minimum clearance
distance between sewer
mains and the proposed
absorption system is to be
at least 2.0 metres
absorption systems shall
not be located under or
over any sewer service
. absorption systems are not
to be located in rock, most
non-sedimentary rocks, or
some sedimentary rocks
such as shale, which
have zero or near-zero
permeability
. there is sufficient pervious
(open space) area to allow
complete percolation of
runoff into the ground
. absorption systems are not
permitted in shallow soil
sites this:
- is because of the
likelihood that water
stored on or near
impervious bedrock
may provide a stream
of flow along the soil/
rock interface, which
may cause emerging
seepage
- would create nuisance
or hazard downstream
suitable soils having
a uniform thickness
of at least 3.0 metres
should be available
for the location of the
absorption system
. absorption systems will
not be permitted on ‘steep’
sites with slopes greater
than 5%
. absorption trenches must
follow the line of contours
. absorption systems will
not be permitted where
there is the presence of a
high water table or that the
location of the absorption
system would likely to
cause the water table to
rise
. direct uncleansed
stormwater into the
absorption system is not
permitted
only roof runoff shall
be permitted to directly
discharge into the
absorption system, but
must pass through an
approved filter system
to remove all debris,
silts, sands, etc. prior to
absorption
. areas such as courtyards,
walkways, driveways,
carriageways, car parks,
etc., are not to be piped
directly into absorption
systems
runoff must pass across at
least 15 metres of grass or
through a sand/loam filter
at least 200mm thick with
grass cover
. suitable soils must have
hydraulic conductivity
values greater than
1 x 10-6 m/s
(measurement of hydraulic
conductivity tests in soils
is given in the attached
appendix A3.2)
. types of systems to be
used are:
- ‘leaky’ wells
- trenches
refer to attached drawings
for details on page 33
. the maximum ‘emptying’
time shall not be greater
than one (1) day
. to ensure likely overflows
are not concentrated onto
adjoining downstream
properties, a dispersion
system shall be provided at
the overflow outlet
. in some cases, a
combination of OSD and
absorption may be required
to control and detain the
site runoff
28Manly Council—June 2003

. for high to medium
permeability soils, the
design procedures for
‘simple’ systems are given
in appendix 3.1
for site areas with
impervious percentages
less than 35% or 250m2,
the attached details of a
typical disposal trench may
be used.
A3.1 ‘Simple’ absorption system design - high/medium permeability soils
Reference Stormwater
Industry Association, On-
site Stormwater Retention,
Why? When? How?, Paper on
OSR (Underground devices)
in soils of high/medium and
low permeability, by John R
Argue, 30 May 2001. There are
three basic types of absorption
systems. These being:
• devices which provide
unencumbered, perforated,
well-shaped storage
space
• trench-shaped devices
which provide storage
space, part-occupied by
a single material such as
gravel or plastic, or similar
devices occupied by a mix
of materials such as slotted
pipe with gravel backfill, etc
• soakaways: these are devices constructed and filled in the same manner as trenches, but having shallow depth, typically 0.15 m to 0.5 m, and large plan areas.
Each of these types of devices
releases stored water into the
surrounding soil medium by
percolation; they also incorporate
provision for overflows.
A3.1.1 ‘Leaky’ well with clean water inflow
The basic data requirements
are:
. ‘block’ runoff volume, ∀ m3,
passing to the holding well.
The hydrological process
involves determining the
pre and post development
volumes for critical times
of concentration (Tc
and tc) and a nominated
design storm event—the
difference in the volume
shall be the estimated ∀;
storm duration equal to Tc
or tc should be used
. two case scenarios:
Case 1
Where there is a known
flooding problem downstream
of the site and Council has data
regarding the critical storm for
flood to occur: τ = Tc. + tc (in minutes)
Case 2
Where flooding downstream is
not likely to occur:
τ = 2tc (in minutes)
where
Tc. = catchment critical time of
concentration and
tc = site time of concentration
• the design ARI used to
calculate ∀ is as follows:
Pre-development = 5-year
ARI ‘state of nature’ site
condition
Post-development = 100-
year ARI fully developed
• Hydraulic conductivity of soil, kh m/s.
30Manly Council—June 2003
31Appendix—Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
Inflow volume to system = ∀ m3;
and storm period τ should be
used and ignoring outflow from
ends of trench:
∀ L = ________________ (in metres) Es .b.H + 60.kh .τ b + H
2
Each design case must be
checked for ‘emptying time’ using
the following formula:
T = -4.6.L.b.es Log10 L.b 2.kh(L + b) L.b+2.H.(L+b)
The maximum emptying time
shall be 1 day.
A3.1.3 Porous pavement
Refer to manufacturers
specification for porous pavement
design and installation.
A3.2 Measurement of hydraulic conductivity
See adjacent pages.
Design Assumptions:
. well is empty at
commencement of inflow
. well fills over time in
minutes
. percolation through floor is
at full rate of kh for period
of minutes
. percolation through walls is
distributed hydrostatically,
hence this component of
outflow is half saturated
(outflow) rate for period of
minutes
. the perforated wall offers
no restriction to outflow
. the groundwater level is significantly below the floor of the well.
For a perforated well, diameter
D in metres, height H in metres,
during filling operation (note
for practical design cases,
particularly in clay soils, require D
≈ H):
D ≈ ______________ (in metres)
π (H+120.kh. τ) 4
Each design case must be
checked for ‘emptying time’ using
the following formula:
T = 4.6D Log10 D/4 (in seconds) 4.kh H+D/4
The maximum emptying time shall
be 1 day.
A3.1.2 Trench, part-occupied with impervious material or combinations of materials (gravel, slotted pipes, ‘milk crate’ cells, Everglas units with gravel backfill, etc) with clean water inflow
The basic data requirements and
design assumptions correspond
to those given in A3.1.1. For a
trench of length L, width b, and
a depth H, part-occupied with
impervious material and providing
void space, es, where:
es = void space available
L.b.H
Typical values of the ratio es are
es = 0.35 for gravels
= 0.95 for certain plastic
structure units such as
Atlantis (‘milk crate’) cells.
= 0.5 to 0.75 for trenches
part-occupied by
perforated pipes or
everglas units backfilled
with gravel (slotted pipes)
= 0.7 (everglas units),
depending on component
sizes and trench cross-
section dimensions.

A7:GRAPHS OF PSD AND SSR FOR THE RELEVANT RESIDENTIAL ZONES
A7.1Derivation of graphs
The hydrological program, ILSAX
was used to model the site runoff
and storage volumes for typical
site areas of 250m2, 300m2,
500m2, 600m2, 750m2, 950m2,
and 1150m2, for varying slopes of
0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%,
7%, 8%, 9%, and 10%.
ILSAX was used to determine
the minimum volume for the
nominated site areas and
varying slopes based on a
pre-development impervious
area of 0% and 35% and post-
development impervious areas of
40%, 50%, 60%, and 70%.
These values were then
extrapolated/interpolated for the
65%, 80%, 85% and 88.5% post-
development impervious areas.
Slopes were grouped into three
(3) bands; less than 4% (<4%),
between 4% and 7% (4%-7%),
and greater than 7% (>7%). For
less than 4%, the calculated 1%
slope values were used.
As sites with pre-development
impervious areas between 0%
and 35% were not assessed, if
the designer chooses, he may
interpolate between the 0% and
35% values.
Rainfall patterns and generated
storms used in the model were
obtained from ARR and IFD data
from the Bureau of Meteorology
(reference Manly Council’s
Specification for Stormwater
Drainage, appendix 1 Design
rainfall intensity diagram).
The design parameters used in
the model are given in section
4.7 of this specification.
Assumptions made:
. storage volume based on a
rectangular shaped storage
with variable length and
breadth dimensions and a
fixed depth of 1.0m
. orifice control is a fixed
square-edged orifice plate,
C = 0.6
. the entire site drains either
to the front or to the rear
. the width of the site varies:
- between 250m2 and
300m2 is 10m
- between 500m2 and
600m2 is 15m
- 750m2 is 20m
- 950m2 is 25m
- 1150m2 is 30m
. discharge is made directly
into the existing drainage
network (e.g. into a pipe
or conduit) where the
concentrated discharge
limit of 25l/s does not apply
. the estimation of the time
of concentration assumes
that the upper half of the
site is grassed and the
lower half of the site is
paved
. the discharge from the
detention system is not
affected by downstream,
tail water conditions, that
is, a ‘free outlet’ control
exists—where this is not
achievable, these graphs
are not to be used.
A7.2Use of graphsThe attached graphs are
applicable to the relevant
residential density sub-zone
42Manly Council—June 2003
43Appendix—Manly Specification for On-site Stormwater Management 2003
which are given in Manly
Council’s Residential Control
Plan for the Residential Zone
2001, October 2001, Map B
Residential density sub-zones,
see appendix 10.
An example is given as follows:
Property address: 12 Lewis St, Balgowlah Hts
Site area: 750m2
Average slope: 6%
Pre-development impervious area: 35%
Post-development impervious area: 70%
The property is located within
Density Sub-zone 5.
To obtain the required site storage volume (SSV), select relevant graph labelled:
Density Subzones 3- 6—35% predeveloped impervious areaThe applicable curve is 4-7% slope 70% impWith site area of 750m2 Reading from the graph gives SSV = 32m3
To obtain the permissible site discharge (PSD), select relevant graph labelled:
Permissible Site DischargeThe applicable curve is 35% Predeveloped Impervious Area 4-7% slope With site area of 750m2
Reading from the graph gives PSD = 18l/s*
* Note: The use of these
graphs assumes that the
discharge is not to be
concentrated at the kerb
and gutter or channel
when 25l/s or a velocity
of 2.0m/s, is exceeded.
If the PSD exceeds 25l/s
or the discharge velocity
is greater than 2m/s, to a
kerb, then these graphs
cannot be used. To limit
the discharge or velocity,
the volume of the detention
system would need to be
increased. In this case, the
volume would be greater
than the values given
in these graphs. Other
computational methods of
determining the SSR, as
given in Section 4.5, must
be used.

Council) that they will maintain
and repair the structure and
works on the land in accordance
with the following terms and
conditions:
i) The registered proprietor
will:
a. keep the structure and
works clean and free
from silt, rubbish and
debris
b. maintain and repair at
the sole expense of the
registered proprietors
the whole of the
structure and works so
that it functions in a safe
and efficient manner.
ii) For the purpose of
ensuring observance of the

by its servants or agents at
any reasonable time of the
day and upon giving to the
person against whom the
covenant is enforceable not
less than two days notice
(but at any time without
notice in the case of an
emergency) enter the land
and view the condition of
the land and the state of
construction maintenance
or repair of the structure
and works on the land.

agreed to be amended
accordingly.
iv) Pursuant to section 88F(3)
of the Act the authority
shall have the following
additional powers pursuant
to this covenant:
a. in the event that the
registered proprietor fails
to comply with the terms
of any written notice
issued by the Council
as set out above the
Council or its authorised
agents may enter the
land with all necessary
equipment and carry
out any work which the
Council in its discretion
considers reasonable
to comply with the said
notice referred to in

b. the Council may recover
from the registered
proprietor in a Court of
competent jurisdiction:
a) any expense
reasonably incurred
by it in exercising
its powers under
A8.1.1.l)—such
expense shall include
reasonable wages
for the Council’s own
employees engaged
in effecting the said
work, supervising
the said work and
administering the said
work together with
costs, reasonably
estimated by the
Council, for the use
of machinery, tools
and equipment in
conjunction with the
said work
c) legal costs on an
indemnity basis
for issue of the
said notices and
recovery of the said
costs and expenses
together with the
costs and expenses
of registration of a
covenant charge
pursuant to section
88F of the Act
or providing any
certificate required
pursuant to section
88G of the Act
or obtaining any
injunction pursuant
to section 88H of the
Act.
v. This covenant shall bind all
persons who claim under
the registered proprietors
as stipulated in section
