Amendment C044 (Bayside)

Introduces additions to the Municipal Strategic Statement (MSS) to strengthen the strategic basis for the introduction of stormwater quality requirements for the new development. Introduces a new local policy that establishes statutory requirements for the incorporation of water sensitive urban design in new developments and implements the objectives and strategies of the Municipal Strategic Statement. The new policy establishes a 100% overall and 65% minimum compliance with the stormwater quality requirements for development. Developments will be assessed using the MUSIC assessment tool or equivalent to determine compliance. When 100% compliance cannot be achieved an off-set measure will be available to make up that portion of compliance above 65% not achieved on-site. Applications that do not achieve the minimum 65% on-site requirement will be refused. Incorporates the following three technical documents into the Bayside Planning Scheme to assist in the implementation of the local policy| Urban Stormwater Best Practice Environmental Management Guidelines Victorian Stormwater Committee CSIRO Publishing 1999| Australian Runoff Quality (draft 2003) Institution of Engineers Australia 2003| WSUD Engineering Procedures: Stormwater EPA 2004.
