HEADED ITEM NO. 11c

HEADED ITEM: A Connected Place - Environmental Services.  Minor Wording Amendments.

HI 10(c) Proposed Amendment PA074 relates to a new objective that sufficient conveyance capacity should be available within the receiving sewerage system locally and sufficient treatment capacity should be available downstream, at the relevant Waste Water Treatment Plant, to ensure ecological integrity.

REPLY:

It is considered that PA074 is appropriate, however the inclusion of reference to the ‘assimilative capacity of receiving waters’ as a constraint on discharges to protect ecological integrity, is considered appropriate.

 

Manager’s Recommendation

It is recommended that the proposed amendment be revised to read as follows:

“It is an objective of the Council that sufficient conveyance capacity should be available within the receiving sewerage system locally, sufficient treatment capacity should be available downstream at the relevant Waste Water Treatment Plant, and  sufficient discharge assimilative capacity be available in the receiving waters to ensure ecological integrity”.
