From: Leah Snerling Sent: Monday, June 24, 2019 9:23 AMTo: Ian Adams Subject: RE: HPE CM: RE: preliminary Advice Agency advice Good Morning Ian, Well that was quick! Below is our advice for the proposed Aquaculture / Horticulture @ 55O’Grady Road. I note that the site is within the Water Resource Catchment under the StatePlanning Policy mapping. I’ve reviewed the material and not having come across a development of this type (i.e. involvinga ‘closed cycle’ treatment process, re-cycling of wastewater and associated horticulture), I havea few questions as follows. My apologies for the length of the list, however I need a clearerpicture of what is proposed. These items can either be addressed either prior or post DA, butdetails we would seek from the applicant in any case would be:
The use also involves a Prescribed Water Contaminant under Schedule 9 of theEnvironmental Protection Regulation 2008.The proposal must demonstrate compliance with the relevant parts of the SeqwaterDevelopment Guidelines 2017 (available here https://www.seqwater.com.au/water-supply/catchments/planning-development).

Please confirm whether the horticulture element is to be included in the DevelopmentApplication. Given that this is a crucial element of the ‘cycle’ of the overall use andprovides for disposal of the waste output, Seqwater would expect that it be included inthe application, with appropriate detail. Seqwater will not be in a position to support theapplication without this.Is the proposed intensive horticulture greenhouse add-on to be co-located on the subjectsite? Please show this on any proposal plan submitted with the application. Please alsoconfirm compliance with the Seqwater Guidelines, which require a minimum 50m setbackto Redbank Creek (a Stream Order 3, perennial watercourse), with development locatedabove the 1% AEP flood level.Please provide details on the proposed intensive horticulture design – i.e. will this involvegreenhouses / types of crops / weatherproofing and general enclosure methods, how it isproposed to prevent releases of excess hydraulic and nutrient loading to groundwater.Provide confirmation of when the intensive horticulture use will be established. It isenvisaged that this element of the proposal should be established and functional prior tothe aquaculture use commencing. This would ensure that no waste from the aquacultureis disposed of to land due to incorrect sequencing of uses.Please provide details on where the wastewater and / or solid wastes will be stored priorto use, and the procedure adopted should wastes exceed the requirements of thehorticulture (i.e. storage capacity and / or regulated waste disposal).Please confirm that the shed and any external / ancillary elements (i.e. pathways, parking,staff amenities are set back at least 50m to Redbank Creek and located above the 1% AEPflood level. This should be shown and noted on the proposal plan.Please provide details on the nutrient / other water quality characteristics of thewastewater to be applied to horticulture. Additionally is must be demonstrated thatnutrient and hydraulic uptake by the plants at varying stages of growth is sustainable (i.e.no net loss), thus preventing contamination of the local environment. Compliance withPO2 – PO4 of the Seqwater Guidelines must be demonstrated, in terms of the applicationof any solid or liquid waste to land, whether this be on the proposed intensive horticultureor otherwise. This item must be addressed by a qualified wastewater / environmentalconsultant and may require MEDLI modelling.Please provide information on the likely conductivity levels of the saline wastewater andhow salinity is proposed to be managed. It must be demonstrated that wastewaterapplied to the horticultural use does not cause salinisation of the site’s soils orgroundwater. If a saline solution is to be produced, how is this managed, stored anddisposed of. This item must be addressed by a qualified wastewater / environmentalconsultantPlease provide details on the lining and sub-surface protection / contaminant capturedevices associated with the cone shaped ‘sediment tank’. It must be demonstrated thatthis tank’s construction and safeguards are sufficient to prevent spills through cracks,leaks or degradation leading to groundwater contamination. Please also demonstrate thatthe base of the cone structure is able to achieve a minimum 1m setback to bedrock andgroundwater.How many times / for how long can water be continuously re-cycled before completereplenishment of the water must occur? In this instance, where and how is the spentwater disposed of? If this is to be used on the proposed horticulture, confirmation shouldbe provided that the size of beds and nutrient uptake ability of the plants is sufficient. Ifapplication to plants is not proposed and / or sustainable, Seqwater would require
-
collection and disposal of this waste by a licensed waste contractor.It is recognised that existing vegetation is shown on the proposal plan, however anyvegetation proposed to be cleared is not. Any vegetation clearing associated with theaquaculture and / or horticulture as well as ancillary activities (i.e. parking / pathways etc)must demonstrate compliance with the Seqwater Guidelines, which require a minimum25m setback for clearing to Redbank Creek (i.e. no removal of riparian vegetation).Vegetation clearing is also not to occur on a slope greater than 15% or at / below the 1%AEP flood level.Please confirm compliance with the Seqwater Development Guidelines with regards toexcavation / earthworks which specifies that this must not occur within 25m of RedbankCreek, on a slope greater than 15% or at / below the 1% AEP flood level.Please provide further details on the construction of the shed, with regards to bundingand floor materials. Seqwater would require an impervious surface as well as suitablebunding to prevent losses of wastewater to the surrounding environment. It will beparticularly important to demonstrate how it is proposed to maintain bunding around andunderneath the cone-shaped ‘sediment tank’. Bunding and hardstand requirements alsoapply to the ‘collection tank’ proposed external to the shed, along with provision ofweatherproof cover. Please ensure that proposal plans / elevations / floor plans submittedwith the application include these details.Please outline the procedure for spills within and external to (i.e. the collection tank) theshed. Details should be provided on any procedures in place to prevent spills ormalfunctioning of the equipment, including safe-guards against tank overtopping. It isenvisaged that audible and visible alarms, as well as backup pumps would be used toensure equipment continues to function as needed, and to prevent spills / overflows. Thisshould be prepared by a qualified environmental consultant.Provision of a Site-Based Stormwater Management Plan and Erosion and SedimentControl Plan in compliance with the relevant parts of the Seqwater Guidelines should besubmitted with any application – this must address both the horticulture and aquaculture,as well as any ancillary elements. Diversion of clean stormwater around the greenhouseand sheds will be important in ensuring no inundation of these areas. The report must beprepared by a RPEQ and provide assurance that no stormwater ingress will occur in theshed or over the horticulture area.Provide details on the surface of the proposed carpark. At a minimum, Seqwater wouldrecommend gravel, to be replenished regularly as needed, in order to prevent dust andsediment entering local waterways.Is regular / period washdown of the internal shed proposed? If so, please detail theprocess for cleaning (including surrounding the cone-shaped ‘sediment tank’, and the safedisposal / treatment of wash water. This should be prepared by a qualified environmentalconsultantThe report (Proposed Aquaculture Operation Plan for Cubic Aqua Tech, prepared byMichael and Martin Zhang, undated) provided with your email is not clear on how thesodium hypochlorite used to disinfect the recycled water will be removed – is this throughan evaporation process, chemical neutralisation or a filtration process? If any residualremains, how will this be disposed of?Provide clarification on what the ‘micro bio floc’ (page 9 of the report provided) is andwhere/ how this is used in the process, as well as details on appropriate disposal andstorage of this material.Please provide details of any other potential additives to water during the rearing /
-
treatment process, and how these will be removed from wastewater, stored (if on-site)and disposed of – for example, antibiotics, hormones, fungicides, chemicals, flocculationagents, other medicinal compounds.Clarification is requested as to whether the sludge containing prawn shells shed duringthe maturation process, will be applied to horticulture (i.e. macerated or similar) orremoved as a bulk waste from the wastewater held in the ‘collection tank’. If removed,please verify that all solid wastes will be appropriately disposed of.Please provide clarification as to the end use / disposal of protein removed by theskimmers.Will there be any processing of the product on-site? The report provided referencesfreezing of the product for consumer sales, however does not provide any detail onwhether any cleaning, cooking or other preparation processes will occur on-site. If so,please provide details on any wastes associated and how these will be managed anddisposed of.Please provide details on the number of staff to be employed and likely numbers ofvisitors to the site, for domestic wastewater management purposes. If the site relies onthe on-site treatment and disposal of domestic effluent from the house, please providefurther details as follows:
Location and details of wastewater treatment plant, all pipelines, effluent disposalfield, sprinkler heads / hoses / fixtures, or other disposal method with regards to anywalkways, vehicular movement paths, sheds, garden beds, parking or otherwise;Location of staff amenities on the site and whether it is planned to utilise the existingon-site wastewater management facilities;If the system in place is proposed to be utilised, provide certification from anappropriately qualified wastewater designer, that the system in place is functioningwell and of sufficient capacity to manage the additional load of staff and visitors. Anupgrade to the system on-site may be required if it is found to be functioning poorlyor of insufficient capacity to cater for the use;Certification from an appropriately qualified wastewater designer that the effluentdisposal field is functioning efficiently and is of sufficient size to cater for theadditional load of staff and visitors. An upgrade to the effluent disposal field may berequired if the size is found to be insufficient;Given the increased traffic on the site (both pedestrian and vehicular), it is consideredappropriate to demarcate any effluent disposal field. Please indicate on plans thatsuitable demarcation will be placed (i.e. vegetation / fencing or the like) to preventvehicular, pedestrian or animal movements over the effluent irrigation area. This willbe important in maintaining the integrity and function of any sub-surface lines, butalso for public health and safety.
Please provide clearer diagrams of the treatment process and top view (photographs 9 &10 of the report provided), so that small print can be read.
We appreciate your consideration of our request for additional information and understand thatas this is a preliminary consultation only, some material may be provided in the applicationstage. We look forward to providing further advice on the application. If you have any queries, please contact me directly, or email [email protected]. Kind regards,

Sent: Friday, 14 June 2019 4:23 PMTo: [email protected]: preliminary Advice Agency advice Dear Leah, We act on behalf of Cubic Aquatech they are proposing to establish aquaculture at 55 O’GradyRd Redbank Creek, or land described as Lot 13 on RP213529. Attached is the preliminary sitelayout plan and operational plan for the proposed development. We have been initialdiscussions with Somerset regional Council and it was suggested that I should make contact withyourself, to ensure that we have addressed any concerns that SEQwater may have. I have not attached a town planning assessment report but in terms of the proposal beingundertaken in a water catchment area, I can advise:
The proposal does involve saltwaterThere will be no discharge of waters from the proposed development – it will be filteredand recycled, there will be a very small percentage loss of water as evaporation that willbe replenished from time to timeAny sediment or ‘waste” is natural and is proposed to be used as a naturalfertiliser/nutrients with an associated greenhouse for the growing of vegetables.Stormwater from the shed will be collected in rainwater tank to be used for irrigation ofplanted fruit trees or the growing of vegetables.
We thank you in advance for any advice you can provide to lodgement of the application. Kind

Michael Zhang ; Ian Adams Cc: Martin Subject: RE: HPE CM: Re: FW:
HPE CM: RE: preliminary Advice Agency advice Good afternoon Michael
and Ian,
Thank you for the clarification provided in Michael’s email of
26 June 2019, below. Myunderstanding of the process is better,
however there will still be documents and plans wewould require as
part of the application material.
Below comprises the information and design details Seqwater
requests to accompany theapplication at the time of lodgement. This
will enable further assessment of the overall proposaland would
reduce the need for additional information that may be requested at
the InformationRequest stage.
Proposal Plans, Setbacks and Gradient:
For setbacks, it is noted that Redbank Creek is a Stream Order 3
perennial watercourse.
· Proposal Plans must demonstrate setbacks compliant with the
Seqwater Development
mailto:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]://www.theplanningplace.com.au/http://www.aafastdaapprovals.com.au/
-
Guidelines 2017 for all uses (50m for aquaculture shed, any
wastewater managementareas / holding tanks, dangerous / hazardous
chemicals storage and handling areas) toRedbank Creek, as well as
compliant setbacks for other activities (25m for
vegetationclearing, earthworks / cut and fill) to the creek. Note
that no riparian vegetation is to beremoved from the creek
corridor.
Proposal Plans must show gradient levels across the site for all
uses and activities,compliant with the Seqwater Development
Guidelines 2017 (10% for all uses and 15% forother activities).
· Provide details on Proposal Plans regarding the surface of the
proposed carpark anddriveway servicing the development. Due to
increased traffic at the site, at a minimum,Seqwater would
recommend gravel surfacing, to be replenished regularly as needed
inorder to prevent dust and sediment entering local waterways.
· DA material must provide site plans, elevations and detailed
design drawings for theconstruction of all tanks and
infrastructure, and particularly the cone-shaped‘sedimentation
tank’. Design drawings must show how this tank will be bunded at
both asurface and sub-surface level. It is also considered
appropriate to include an alert system(both visible and audible) to
notify the owner when any spillages or leaks are detectedfrom the
sedimentation and wastewater holding tanks, as well as backup pumps
or otherprocedures in place to prevent overtopping of any tank if
any part of the process ishalted or otherwise impacted.
· Please ensure that proposal plans / elevations / floor plans
provide further details on theconstruction of the shed, with
regards to bunding and floor materials. Seqwater wouldrequire an
impervious surface as well as suitable bunding to prevent losses of
salinewater or wastewater to the surrounding environment. It will
be particularly important todemonstrate how it is proposed to
maintain bunding surrounding cone-shaped‘sediment tank’ within the
shed. Bunding and hardstand requirements also apply to
the‘collection tank’ proposed external to the shed, along with
provision of weatherproofcover.
Conduct bore hole testing at the proposed location of the cone
shaped ‘sedimentationtank’ and confirm that a minimum 1m depth to
bedrock and groundwater is availablefrom the base of the cone.
Please provide clearer diagrams of the treatment process and top
view (photographs 9 &10 of the report originally provided via
email on 14 June 2019), so that small print can beread.
Management and Disposal of wastes:
As there must be no discharge or disposal of any waste /
wastewater to land or waterwithin the catchment, a solution as to
where and how the products will be disposed ofneeds to be reached.
There must be no impact on the quality of local drinking
watersupplies (i.e. no disposal to land / water within the
catchment).
-
As the horticulture element will be applied for and developed at
a later stage, and willonly have limited capacity for the re-use of
waste / wastewater from the aquaculture use(per email from Michael
Zhang dated 26/6/19, approximately 20 tonnes every 4months), please
gain confirmation from the water retailer UnityWater that they
willaccept the waste product / wastewater from the aquaculture use.
As the waste is not ofhuman origin and contains different
characteristics (i.e. salinity, prawn shells, prawnexcrement and
feed), it may not be accepted by UnityWater and an alternative
solutionmay need to be devised.
A Wastewater Management Plan compliant with Acceptable Outcome
AO2.2 of theSeqwater Development Guidelines 2017 is prepared by a
suitably qualified environmentalconsultant. Plans are to provide
details on all wastes produced by the facility (i.e.production /
end of use wastewater / sludge, saline water, washdown water and
proteinfrom the skimmer) and an assessment of all risks and
associated mitigation strategies forpreventing adverse impacts on
the quality of drinking water. The necessity for a
qualitymonitoring program must be discussed. The report must also
detail any regular orperiodic washdown of the internal shed and
external wastewater holding tank area.Details on the process for
cleaning (including surrounding the cone-shaped ‘sedimenttank’),
and the safe disposal / treatment of wash water must be
included.
When the horticulture element (understood as being for display
purposes only, per emailfrom Michael Zhang dated 26/6/19) is
established on the site, it must demonstrate thatno loss of
nutrients, salinization, loss of hydraulics loads or other
contaminants shall occurto ground or surface waters, resulting from
the application of wastes from theaquaculture use. MEDLI modelling
will be required for this item. Due to the limitations ofMEDLI
modelling (being primarily for hydraulic and nutrient loading)
further advice mustbe provided from a qualified environmental
consultant as to how salinity, any pathogens /viruses / bacteria,
prawn shells and feed remnants are to be sustainably and safely
appliedto crops.
On-site Domestic Wastewater Management:
Please have an appropriately qualified wastewater consultant
locate and demonstrate ona site plan, all existing domestic on-site
wastewater treatment infrastructure, includingthe treatment system,
effluent disposal field, all pipelines, sprinkler heads / hoses
/fixtures, or other disposal method. These facilities must be shown
on the plan in relationto the house, any walkways, vehicular
movement paths, sheds, garden beds, parking orotherwise.
Certification must also be provided by the wastewater
consultant, confirming that thesystem is capable of servicing the
proposed number of house occupants + staff
+estimated visitors to the site. It must be demonstrated that
both the wastewatertreatment system and land application are of
sufficient capacity, size, functioning welland suitable to service
the proposed use and dwelling.
Given the increased traffic on the site (both pedestrian and
vehicular), it is consideredappropriate to demarcate any effluent
disposal field and provide hardstand overpipelines in areas
utilised by vehicular traffic. This will be important in
maintaining theintegrity and function of any sub-surface lines, but
also for public health and safety.Please indicate on plans that
suitable demarcation will be placed (i.e. vegetation /
-
fencing or the like) to prevent vehicular, pedestrian or animal
movements over theeffluent irrigation area and pipelines.
Dangerous / Hazardous Materials:
Submit a Dangerous and Hazardous Materials Management Plan
compliant with Table 4 –‘Dangerous Goods, Hazardous Substances or
Environmentally Hazardous Materials’ of theSeqwater Development
Guidelines 2017, prepared by a suitably qualified consultant.
Thereport must include details on the quantities, storage, handling
and management ofsodium hypochlorite, micro bio floc and any other
potentially contaminating materialsstored, handled or used on the
site. These materials must be stored on hardstand surfaceswhich are
bunded and weatherproof. A strategy for spills must also be
outlined in thereport, for incidents both internal and external to
the shed. Plans and design drawingsmust be provided to demonstrate
the structures proposed.
Per email advice from Michael Zhang (dated 26/6/19), if sunlight
is the proposed methodof sodium hypochlorite residual removal,
please provide details on how this will beachieved so as to
adequately treat water without the ingress of rain / stormwater
into thetank and also through the water profile to the depth of the
tank’s capacity.
Flood Immunity and Stormwater Management:
Submit a Site-based Stormwater Management Plan and Erosion and
Sediment ControlPlan in compliance with Table 4 – ‘Stormwater
Quality and Hydrology’ of the SeqwaterDevelopment Guidelines 2017
and any relevant Council provisions. The plans must beprepared by
an appropriately qualified engineer and signed off by an RPEQ.
All activities, uses and ancillary elements (i.e. aquaculture
shed, all tanks, imperviousareas, walkways, vehicular movement
paths, parking areas, on-site wastewater treatmentand disposal
facilities etc) must maintain flood immunity to 1% AEP. The flood
contourmust be shown on plans supporting the Stormwater Management
Plan submitted withthe DA.
Your assistance in providing the above information is greatly
appreciated. We look forward toreceiving further information when
the application is lodged, or prior to this should you wish. Kind

Good Day Leah
Thank you so much for all the advice that addressed in the
email. I am fully understand what isyour concern and worries. Much
appreciate for you time that spent in our project. I will
providemore information to you about this project.
Cubic Aqua Tech is a new company in Australia. There is another
company support thetechnology and capital to Cubic which is Reef
Octopus (OCTO). Mr Martin has 100% equity forthis two company. For
your convenience, please visit our website in www.reefoctopus.com
formore information. We have more than 15 years in marine equipment
manufacture. Thecompany had high reputation in the marine aquarium
industry. Therefore, all the aquaculturetank which will use in Red
Bank Creek are made in our reef octopus factory. You mentionedabout
the tank leaking risk. I admit it has the potential risk in
leaking. We won't allow thishappened in Red Bank Creeks. Reef
octopus have very strict procedures in the productmanufacture. The
risk will prevent in the factory straight way. We must to make sure
all the tankand equipment are safe to use. If necessary, we will
contract a quality builder to help us in thesystem set up.
Our team in the reef octopus spent more than 5 years on this
project research. During the last 5years, we designed and made
numbers of system proto type to trials in China research
facility.We failed more hundred times for the system trials. Now,
our system are 100% safe to operate.There is no chance for the
water will leak to the land event the wastewater. It is
ourresponsibility to obey every local or state regulations. No
pollution and environmental friendly isour mission. On the other
hand, if the water is leaking in any aquaculture tank we have to
pay alot of money to fix that.
There is maximum 200 tonnes of nature marine water will engage
in the entire farming. Thesalinity is 1.020. After 4 months of
prawn farming, there will releasing about 20 tonnes ofwastewater.
The wastewater contains prawn excrement, excess prawn feed and
nature saltwater etc... it is intensive and high concentrate waste.
We need dilute the water with freshwater before planting. All there
wastewater will storage in the waste collection tank which is
20diameter.
The size of the green house on site is 100 sqm. We won't
consumer all the 20 tonnes ofwastewater. Only very small amount.
The horticulture only for demonstration which notintensive. There
is three solutions for the wastewater. We will engage a qualified
environmentalconsultant to manage the waste as your mentioned the
MEDLI modelling. Actually, we findnumbers of environmental
consultants in last year. We need pay them fly to China to
investigateour project. It is not efficient so that we decide
invest a trails in Australia straight way. It willmake everyone
clear about this project. Second, seeking work with CSIRO and some
agricultureuniversity to analysis our wastewater. Third, if all the
scientist or profession say our wastewateris harmful to the land.
We will hire a qualify waste contractor move out the waste. Once
again,we won't disposal any wastewater to the land or river.
We did number of experiment in China use the wastewater to plant
tomatoes, chilli and okra.We receive a positive result. We believe
the wastewater is a quality base fertilize for plantgrowth. The
greenhouse is the project second stage. For all the consideration I
mentionedabove, we need to make sure every step are meet the
Australian standard so that we haven't putinto the development
plan. I can put the greenhouse in the site plan as the second stage
ofdevelopment but the wastewater need be analysis first and get the
advice from the scientist. Inthe same time, there some university
in China will help us as well. If we have negative feedbackwill
truck the wastewater to sewage processing plant some as the human
excrement.
There shed contraction will engaged a qualify builder to help
us. There will be 3 staffs working inthe site. The current toilet
will share. We will update the sewage system if necessary as
youmentioned.
About the sodium hypochlorite, there may have some residuals. It
depend on the percentage of

the sodium hypochlorite in the mixture. If the percentage are
high which will cost less residuals.As the result, we will use the
100% soluble sodium hypochlorite produce. There is a product wefind
in Bunnings which is the ideal product for use. To remove the
chlorine we use sunlight whichthrough evaporation. We do not let
out any waste into the local area.
During the entire farming process, any antibiotic are
prohibitive. There are no antibiotic we willuse to the livestock.
No hormones, No fungicides, No any medical! What we will do are,
feeding,water quality control, water treatment and water recycle.
There is no any chemical or artificialsubstance will add to are
farming tank. Except the sodium hypochlorite and brown sugar.
Thesodium hypochlorite are react in the different tank. The water
quality must in high standard.Otherwise, the livestock will die
immediately.
There is no food process on site. All the adult prawn will put
straight into ice cube for delivery orcustomer self-pick up. The
product must sale very quick to make sure the freshness. Before
theproduct going to the market. We will apply the food safety
licences thought state government.Our company will purchase the
public health insurance to make sure out product are 100% safefor
human consumption.
It just a very small trials for our technology. We seek more
help from other organisation tocomplete this project and meet the
Australian standards, not Chinese.
Finally, thank you again for all advises. If possible, we are
happy meet you face to face and gothought more detail with you and
Seq water. Martin and I will move to Redbank Creek on 5thJuly. Hope
can meet your shortly.
Best Wish

Adams Subject: RE: HPE CM: RE: preliminary Advice Agency advice
Good Morning Ian, Well that was quick! Below is our advice for the
proposed Aquaculture / Horticulture @ 55O’Grady Road. I note that
the site is within the Water Resource Catchment under the
StatePlanning Policy mapping. I’ve reviewed the material and not
having come across a development of this type (i.e.involving a
‘closed cycle’ treatment process, re-cycling of wastewater and
associatedhorticulture), I have a few questions as follows. My
apologies for the length of the list,however I need a clearer
picture of what is proposed. These items can either be
addressedeither prior or post DA, but details we would seek from
the applicant in any case would be:
The use also involves a Prescribed Water Contaminant under
Schedule 9 of theEnvironmental Protection Regulation 2008.The
proposal must demonstrate compliance with the relevant parts of the
SeqwaterDevelopment Guidelines 2017 (available here
https://www.seqwater.com.au/water-supply/catchments/planning-development).Please
confirm whether the horticulture element is to be included in the
DevelopmentApplication. Given that this is a crucial element of the
‘cycle’ of the overall use andprovides for disposal of the waste
output, Seqwater would expect that it be included inthe
application, with appropriate detail. Seqwater will not be in a
position to supportthe application without this.Is the proposed
intensive horticulture greenhouse add-on to be co-located on
thesubject site? Please show this on any proposal plan submitted
with the application.Please also confirm compliance with the
Seqwater Guidelines, which require aminimum 50m setback to Redbank
Creek (a Stream Order 3, perennial watercourse),with development
located above the 1% AEP flood level.Please provide details on the
proposed intensive horticulture design – i.e. will thisinvolve
greenhouses / types of crops / weatherproofing and general
enclosure

methods, how it is proposed to prevent releases of excess
hydraulic and nutrientloading to groundwater.Provide confirmation
of when the intensive horticulture use will be established. It
isenvisaged that this element of the proposal should be established
and functional priorto the aquaculture use commencing. This would
ensure that no waste from theaquaculture is disposed of to land due
to incorrect sequencing of uses.Please provide details on where the
wastewater and / or solid wastes will be storedprior to use, and
the procedure adopted should wastes exceed the requirements of
thehorticulture (i.e. storage capacity and / or regulated waste
disposal).Please confirm that the shed and any external / ancillary
elements (i.e. pathways,parking, staff amenities are set back at
least 50m to Redbank Creek and located abovethe 1% AEP flood level.
This should be shown and noted on the proposal plan.Please provide
details on the nutrient / other water quality characteristics of
thewastewater to be applied to horticulture. Additionally is must
be demonstrated thatnutrient and hydraulic uptake by the plants at
varying stages of growth is sustainable(i.e. no net loss), thus
preventing contamination of the local environment. Compliancewith
PO2 – PO4 of the Seqwater Guidelines must be demonstrated, in terms
of theapplication of any solid or liquid waste to land, whether
this be on the proposedintensive horticulture or otherwise. This
item must be addressed by a qualifiedwastewater / environmental
consultant and may require MEDLI modelling.Please provide
information on the likely conductivity levels of the saline
wastewaterand how salinity is proposed to be managed. It must be
demonstrated that wastewaterapplied to the horticultural use does
not cause salinisation of the site’s soils orgroundwater. If a
saline solution is to be produced, how is this managed, stored
anddisposed of. This item must be addressed by a qualified
wastewater / environmentalconsultantPlease provide details on the
lining and sub-surface protection / contaminant capturedevices
associated with the cone shaped ‘sediment tank’. It must be
demonstrated thatthis tank’s construction and safeguards are
sufficient to prevent spills through cracks,leaks or degradation
leading to groundwater contamination. Please also demonstratethat
the base of the cone structure is able to achieve a minimum 1m
setback to bedrockand groundwater.How many times / for how long can
water be continuously re-cycled before completereplenishment of the
water must occur? In this instance, where and how is the spentwater
disposed of? If this is to be used on the proposed horticulture,
confirmationshould be provided that the size of beds and nutrient
uptake ability of the plants issufficient. If application to plants
is not proposed and / or sustainable, Seqwater wouldrequire
collection and disposal of this waste by a licensed waste
contractor.It is recognised that existing vegetation is shown on
the proposal plan, however anyvegetation proposed to be cleared is
not. Any vegetation clearing associated with theaquaculture and /
or horticulture as well as ancillary activities (i.e. parking /
pathwaysetc) must demonstrate compliance with the Seqwater
Guidelines, which require aminimum 25m setback for clearing to
Redbank Creek (i.e. no removal of riparianvegetation). Vegetation
clearing is also not to occur on a slope greater than 15% or at
/below the 1% AEP flood level.Please confirm compliance with the
Seqwater Development Guidelines with regards toexcavation /
earthworks which specifies that this must not occur within 25m
ofRedbank Creek, on a slope greater than 15% or at / below the 1%
AEP flood level.

Please provide further details on the construction of the shed,
with regards to bundingand floor materials. Seqwater would require
an impervious surface as well as suitablebunding to prevent losses
of wastewater to the surrounding environment. It will
beparticularly important to demonstrate how it is proposed to
maintain bunding aroundand underneath the cone-shaped ‘sediment
tank’. Bunding and hardstandrequirements also apply to the
‘collection tank’ proposed external to the shed, alongwith
provision of weatherproof cover. Please ensure that proposal plans
/ elevations /floor plans submitted with the application include
these details.Please outline the procedure for spills within and
external to (i.e. the collection tank)the shed. Details should be
provided on any procedures in place to prevent spills
ormalfunctioning of the equipment, including safe-guards against
tank overtopping. It isenvisaged that audible and visible alarms,
as well as backup pumps would be used toensure equipment continues
to function as needed, and to prevent spills / overflows.This
should be prepared by a qualified environmental
consultant.Provision of a Site-Based Stormwater Management Plan and
Erosion and SedimentControl Plan in compliance with the relevant
parts of the Seqwater Guidelines shouldbe submitted with any
application – this must address both the horticulture
andaquaculture, as well as any ancillary elements. Diversion of
clean stormwater aroundthe greenhouse and sheds will be important
in ensuring no inundation of these areas.The report must be
prepared by a RPEQ and provide assurance that no stormwateringress
will occur in the shed or over the horticulture area.Provide
details on the surface of the proposed carpark. At a minimum,
Seqwater wouldrecommend gravel, to be replenished regularly as
needed, in order to prevent dust andsediment entering local
waterways.Is regular / period washdown of the internal shed
proposed? If so, please detail theprocess for cleaning (including
surrounding the cone-shaped ‘sediment tank’, and thesafe disposal /
treatment of wash water. This should be prepared by a
qualifiedenvironmental consultantThe report (Proposed Aquaculture
Operation Plan for Cubic Aqua Tech, prepared byMichael and Martin
Zhang, undated) provided with your email is not clear on how
thesodium hypochlorite used to disinfect the recycled water will be
removed – is thisthrough an evaporation process, chemical
neutralisation or a filtration process? If anyresidual remains, how
will this be disposed of?Provide clarification on what the ‘micro
bio floc’ (page 9 of the report provided) is andwhere/ how this is
used in the process, as well as details on appropriate disposal
andstorage of this material.Please provide details of any other
potential additives to water during the rearing /treatment process,
and how these will be removed from wastewater, stored (if
on-site)and disposed of – for example, antibiotics, hormones,
fungicides, chemicals,flocculation agents, other medicinal
compounds.Clarification is requested as to whether the sludge
containing prawn shells shed duringthe maturation process, will be
applied to horticulture (i.e. macerated or similar) orremoved as a
bulk waste from the wastewater held in the ‘collection tank’. If
removed,please verify that all solid wastes will be appropriately
disposed of.Please provide clarification as to the end use /
disposal of protein removed by theskimmers.Will there be any
processing of the product on-site? The report provided

whether any cleaning, cooking or other preparation processes
will occur on-site. If so,please provide details on any wastes
associated and how these will be managed anddisposed of.Please
provide details on the number of staff to be employed and likely
numbers ofvisitors to the site, for domestic wastewater management
purposes. If the site relies onthe on-site treatment and disposal
of domestic effluent from the house, please providefurther details
as follows:
· Location and details of wastewater treatment plant, all
pipelines, effluent disposalfield, sprinkler heads / hoses /
fixtures, or other disposal method with regards toany walkways,
vehicular movement paths, sheds, garden beds, parking
orotherwise;
· Location of staff amenities on the site and whether it is
planned to utilise theexisting on-site wastewater management
facilities;
· If the system in place is proposed to be utilised, provide
certification from anappropriately qualified wastewater designer,
that the system in place isfunctioning well and of sufficient
capacity to manage the additional load of staffand visitors. An
upgrade to the system on-site may be required if it is found to
befunctioning poorly or of insufficient capacity to cater for the
use;
· Certification from an appropriately qualified wastewater
designer that theeffluent disposal field is functioning efficiently
and is of sufficient size to cater forthe additional load of staff
and visitors. An upgrade to the effluent disposal fieldmay be
required if the size is found to be insufficient;
· Given the increased traffic on the site (both pedestrian and
vehicular), it isconsidered appropriate to demarcate any effluent
disposal field. Please indicateon plans that suitable demarcation
will be placed (i.e. vegetation / fencing or thelike) to prevent
vehicular, pedestrian or animal movements over the
effluentirrigation area. This will be important in maintaining the
integrity and function ofany sub-surface lines, but also for public
health and safety.
Please provide clearer diagrams of the treatment process and top

We act on behalf of Cubic Aquatech they are proposing to
establish aquaculture at 55O’Grady Rd Redbank Creek, or land
described as Lot 13 on RP213529. Attached is thepreliminary site
layout plan and operational plan for the proposed development. We
havebeen initial discussions with Somerset regional Council and it
was suggested that I shouldmake contact with yourself, to ensure
that we have addressed any concerns that SEQwatermay have. I have
not attached a town planning assessment report but in terms of the
proposal beingundertaken in a water catchment area, I can
advise:
· The proposal does involve saltwater
· There will be no discharge of waters from the proposed
development – it will befiltered and recycled, there will be a very
small percentage loss of water asevaporation that will be
replenished from time to time
· Any sediment or ‘waste” is natural and is proposed to be used
as a naturalfertiliser/nutrients with an associated greenhouse for
the growing of vegetables.
· Stormwater from the shed will be collected in rainwater tank
to be used for irrigationof planted fruit trees or the growing of
vegetables.
We thank you in advance for any advice you can provide to
lodgement of the application. Kind Regards Ian AdamsPrincipalm:
