TABLE OF CONTENTS - Waratah-Wynyard Council

Planning Authority
Council’s primary concern with SD 1815 related to the absence of a reticulated sewerage
system in the area and the lack of sufficient information demonstrating that the
proposed lots could adequately cater for on-site wastewater management. There were
secondary concerns arising from the absence of stormwater and water infrastructure in
the area. The lack of sewerage, stormwater and water infrastructure indicated that the
lots were unsuitable for intensive industrial activities.
There were also strategic planning concerns relating to the available supply of vacant,
serviced Industrial land within the Somerset and Wynyard Airport areas.
The current application is submitted in conjunction with a separate Development
Application for a proposed dairy mash feed mill (DA 94/2012). The facility is intended to
supply bulk milled dairy feed to dairy farms throughout the North-West. It will be
developed on one of the lots included in the present subdivision.
The current proposal seeks to address Council’s previous infrastructure servicing
concerns. Whilst a sewer rising main exists in Stennings Road, Cradle Mountain Water
advises that the reticulated network is currently at peak capacity and on-site
management of wastewater would be required. The development proposed by way of
DA 94/2012 includes a new stormwater holding pond, which will connect to Council
stormwater main in Stennings Road. It is proposed to install a DN100 water main to
connect the lots to the existing water supply main in Calder Road.
DETAILS
Application
The application proposes to subdivide the subject site into 3 large industrial lots of 2.7
hectares (Lot 1), 2.5 hectares (Lot 2) and 1.69 hectares (Lot 3). The proposed Lot 1 will
contain the existing potato storage shed and associated holding pond. The proposed
dairy mash feed mill subject to DA 94/2012, and an associated new stormwater holding
pond, would be contained within Lot 2.
