1 Introduction

The Westfield Knox Project comprises a re-development and refurbishment of an existing shopping complex.

The existing site comprises some 142,000 m2 of leasable space, including Myer, Target, K Mart and two Coles

supermarkets, along with a substantial cinema complex flanked by almost twenty food or entertainment tenancies.

Almost 6200 parking spaces are distributed across the site. New development is proposed additional to and

connecting with the existing development.

These changes do not impact the overall impervious area of the site.

Initial investigations indicate the northern portion of the site is in the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay

(LSIO) under the Knox Planning Scheme as shown in Figure 1-1. Melbourne Water is the floodplain

management authority for the area.

1.2 Previous Advice

Cardno has previously provided a detailed report on the existing flood behaviour at the Westfield Knox site

(Report 59914509_R001_V1, dated 12 December 2013), included by Westfield as part of the planning

application for the site.

2 Scope of Services

Before agreeing to grant a planning permit, Melbourne Water raised a number of issues that were of concern

to them regarding the proposed redevelopment including:

1. The proposed development is inconsistent with State and Local Planning Policy relating to drainage

and floodplain management.

2. The proposed development is inconsistent with the purpose and decision guidelines set out in the

Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) within the Knox Planning Scheme.

3. The proposed development is subject to inappropriate and unacceptable flood risk, where the safety

of land users may be affected and potential for flood damage is excessive.

Melbourne Water provided additional information with regard to the reasons for the concerns described

above. This information included:

1. The development increases flood levels by up to 120mm on site and by up to 50mm on neighbouring

properties;

2. Analysis of the impact of the loss of flood storage on the site is to be considered;

3. More detail needs to be provided to Melbourne Water regarding flood hazard and other

characteristics across the car park;

4. That all floor levels and basement car park entrances must be 600mm above the applicable flood

level; and

5. Construction of a multi-storey car park above the Blind Creek Drain is not to be considered (without

an appropriate construction methodology)

Additionally, the City of Knox requested additional details of the proposed water quality treatments to

appropriately treat stormwater generated from the development. To address these issues, Cardno has

undertaken the following works to assist Westfield:

1. Undertake additional modelling to assess the impact of reducing the construction boundary on the

northern side of the development;

2. Develop a construction methodology to allow for maintenance and/or replacement of the existing

Blind Creek Main Drain, to reduce as much as practically possible the vertical clearance required

above the drain. This methodology will be generally cost comparable to the cut and cover approach.

3. Provide advice with regards to stormwater treatment (WSUD) on the site, in consultation with Land

Design Partnership (Lindsay Fraser) including:

a. Review redevelopment plans

b. Produce a MUSIC model of proposed treatment requirements

c. Indicate on master plan document the indicative treatment areas required.

d. Identify land take requirements

e. Propose alternative treatment should land be limited to meet WSUD targets.

Westfield has provided design plans (KNOX-2013-SCH8-U3-D) that have informed the works. These plans

are found in Appendix A.

3 Flood Impacts

In order to reduce the flood impacts of the development, the construction limit on the northern side of the

development has been amended from the original proposal, to remove a constriction in the flowpath along

the northern side of the site. This constriction was caused by the proposed ramp to an upper storey carpark.

Based on advice from Westfield, Cardno have assessed a development area that extends no further into the

floodplain on the northern side than the existing northern building limit adjacent to the flowpath. The new

development areas are shown in green on Figure 3-1 and have been modelled as complete blockages to

flow. These areas are consistent with those shown in the Westfield Plan KNOX-2013-SCH8-U3, although the

area blocked on the northern building line is slightly greater in the model.

Figure 3-1 New development area (ground level)

Cardno have liaised with Melbourne Water to obtain information with regard to the volume and extent of

floodwaters that traverse the site. The site is immediately downstream of a large retarding basin, designed to

reduce the impact of flooding on downstream properties. Flow rates leaving the basin are approximately

23 m3/s in the 100-year ARI event. The retarding basin does not spill until the flood event is in excess of the

20-year ARI.

Information received from Melbourne Water indicates the basin system reduces the peak flow rate entering

the Westfield site substantially, with a peak overland flow of 13.8 m3/s expected through the car park. An

underground pipe system carries an additional 9 m3/s between the retarding basin and the western side of

Stud Road. Note that these figures were inadvertently reversed in our previous report. The critical storm

duration has been identified as the 12 hour event. These flow rates were extracted from the Blind Creek MD

Redevelopment Services Scheme Report (GHD, 2009) provided by Melbourne Water.

The modelled existing conditions flooding is shown in Figure 3-2

Figure 3-2 Flood Levels, Existing Conditions

The model was run including the proposed development. The results of the developed case model are

shown in Figure 3-3. The difference between the developed and existing conditions is shown in Figure 3-4.

Figure 3-3 Flood Levels, Development Conditions

Page 8: Westfield Knox Drainage Analysis · 2014-04-17 · Westfield Knox Drainage Analysis Flooding, Construction and Stormwater Quality Advice 01 April 2014 Cardno 8 Figure 3-4 Flood Level

01 April 2014 Cardno 8

Figure 3-4 Flood Level Difference, Developed minus Existing

A key concern of Melbourne Water was that the increase in flood levels on the site was up to 140 mm and of

the site was up to 100 mm. The results show that the new development alignment reduces the flood impacts

on site to less than 100mm and off site to no more than 40 mm. The flood extent is unchanged and the area

of offsite impact is limited to public reserves. We note that the proposed floor level for the new development

areas of 69.0 m AHD are at least 600 mm above the flood level.

Based on the results of the model, under the existing conditions, a maximum flood volume of 20,700 m3

could be stored on the site. In the post development conditions, a maximum flood volume of 20,300 m3 was

stored on the site (these numbers are calculated by multiplying the average depth of flooding across the site

by the area of flooding), which is a change in flood storage of approximately 2%. It is considered that this

change is negligible in the context of the wider floodplain and the significant retarding basin upstream of the

site. The maximum inflow rate to the site is 13 m3/s in the 1% AEP event and as such, the loss in flood

storage only accounts for 32 seconds of inflow to the site.

Consideration of Flood Hazard on the site should be undertaken in the context of the existing flood behaviour

and hazard characteristics. The existing site is flood impacted, with floodwaters in the northern and western

car park areas. Flood hazard on the site is location specific, with some areas of deeper water contributing to

higher hazard values. The flood hazard classes, as per Melbourne Water’s Technical Specification for Flood

Mapping (2013), for the existing and developed conditions are shown in Figure 3-5 and Figure 3-6.

It can be seen from the figures that the flood hazard across the site is slightly increased as a result of the proposed changes to the development; however the overall flood hazard on the majority of the area remains either low or moderate. The total area flooded is reduced as a result of the proposed changes. It is noted that all the additional car park areas, shopping area extensions will all be set well above the existing flood levels. In addition, safe access to Burwood Highway is provided for all users of the shopping centre. In terms of flood damage, fewer cars would be exposed to flooding under the proposed development conditions than under the existing conditions. The proposed main access from Stud Road is moved to the northern boundary as part of the redevelopment. The existing main access road includes a high hazard

area near the existing roundabout. The proposed new main entry road provides a low hazard access along the northern boundary. It is considered that this reduces the overall flood risk.

4 Construction Over Blind Creek Main Drain

Melbourne Water had concerns about the construction of multistorey car parks above the Blind Creek Main

Drain. Melbourne Water advised that they would require a minimum 7 metre clearance above the drain to

allow appropriate access for replacement of the drain., This requirement could be modified if an appropriate

work method statement detailing how maintenance access to the drain can be maintained with a lower

clearance, provided that the method does not disadvantage Melbourne Water. Cardno has developed a work

method statement that we believe meets these requirements.

The Blind Creek Drain consists of twin 1900 diameter pipes with cover of about 1 m, over which there

currently exists an asphalt car park. The preliminary plans show that the headroom above the stormwater

pipes will vary between 6.8 m to 5.6 m from the existing ground surface. The Mezzanine carpark with its

limited 3m headroom has been set back beyond the stormwater pipes lines to allow for approx. 6.8 m

headroom.

As the pipe trench is approx. 3m deep then the new structural footings supporting the new car park structure

along with any other load bearing structural building components, will have to be outside a 45 degree

influence line from the bottom of the trench, offset from the pipe by a minimum of 1.5 m

4.1 Site details

The drainage line is to the north and west of the current shopping centre buildings. It is situated under the

existing carpark and access roads. The pipes are in an existing Floodway and Drainage easement that is

approximately 25 m in width and contains a twin 1950mm diameter stormwater drain which conveys runoff

from a major retarding basin in Lewis park on Blind Creek. The stormwater drain has an approximate depth

to invert of some 3 m below ground level with cover of approximately 1 m. The alignment of the easement

varies through the site as indicated in Figure 4-1.

It is noted that the existing twin 1950mm dia. stormwater drain was constructed in the mid 1970s (Plans

drawn in 1972) and likelihood of the drain needing replacement remedial work or replacement is considered

possible. An internal camera review would assist in determining its current status. Provided they were layed

correctly, the pipes should have a working life of over a 100 years.

01 April 2014 Cardno 11

4.2 Construction Methodology Statement

The Construction Methodology set out below demonstrates how the works may be achieved. The

methodology proposed uses standard equipment within the 5.6 m min clearance height above the easement

to allow access for future repair and maintenance access to the existing stormwater drain and pits. This

equipment is the same that would be used with a 7 m minimum vertical clearance. Two methodologies for

pipe maintenance are proposed,

4.2.1 Future excavation works to replace sections of the Pipes

In the event that the existing 1950mm dia. stormwater drain is to be replaced the following construction

methodology is considered to be appropriate given future site constraints.

1. Excavate the material above the pipe. A 20 tonne excavator (Figure 4-2) is recommended as

suitable for the work. Although the excavator arm can rise in excess of this height, it can be limit

controlled to work within recommended 6 m to 6.8 m headroom. (Figure 4-3) The addition of a

spotter may also be appropriate. Additional operational height can be gained in the 5.6 to 6 m zone

by first excavating a 0.5 trench along the length of this section of the works (Figure 4-4) The trucks

could be backed up along this to gain more room for loading

2. Material can be side cast into a 14 tonne single axel truck (7-8 m3 capacity). This requires that the

arm be retained in a flatter configuration than normal, but as such will only have a small effect on the operational timing (less than 5%). With an allowance for 300mm clearance between the underside of the carpark floor over and top of excavators arm, the truck can be adjacent the excavation at a distance suitable for the excavators reach (the optimum for operations). The bucket will load from the drainage excavation hole and be drawn up to the arm as the machine rotates, then within the tippers body it will arc through 180deg to empty the bucket. With a standard size tipper the clearance above the tipper body would be at least 500mm and with the largest size tipper truck, the clearance would be approximately 100 mm in the 5.6 m clearance section.

3. Any excavator under below 40 to 45 tonne will not be able to lift 1900mm diameter pipes. A mobile

crane offers greater flexibility for working within confined spaces with the capability of pipe lengths

being picked up and driven into the easement to be installed;

4. The existing pipe will then be removed from the opposite side of the excavation using a mobile crane

(Franna), on a section by section basis. Removal would begin at the end of the pipe and work

backwards with an open excavation of approx. 3 - 4 lengths of pipe at a time before backfilling

occurs; the Franna would carry these pipes to the stockpile. The Franna crane specifications are

shown in Figure 4-5. The Franna crane will sling the pipes via the lifting lug in the top of the pipe,

travelling with the pipe 500mm of the ground we should be able to maintain a 1320mm clearance to

the underside of the carpark floor over as per Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4. The Franna provides

optimum versatility to collect and place the drainage pipes for construction purposes.

5. It would then return with new lengths of pipe to also be installed from the opposite side of the

excavation as indicated in Figure 4-3.

6. Access for construction vehicles would be over the existing pavement.

7. Materials would be stock piled and bought in with a front end loader.

The construction methodology proposed for the areas underneath the car park with a 5.6 to 6.8 m headroom,

is consistent with the approach that would be required for the works if Melbourne Water’s 7 m minimum

clearance height was adopted. It is considered that there is no significant cost difference or construction

methodology between the MW proposed 7.0 m clearance and that involved with the 5.6 to 6.8 m minimum

clearance the proposed. A minimum clearance height of 5.6 metres is suitable for the construction over the

Blind Creek Main Drain.

5 Stormwater Quality Treatment

Knox City Council has indicated that the proposed development is required to treat stormwater runoff to

provide adequate removal of nutrients including phosphorus and nitrogen. The Council has indicated that

‘raingarden’ area should be in the order of 3-5% of the catchment area.

The Water Sensitive Urban Design modelling was undertaken using the software package MUSIC. The

MUSIC modelling has indicated that the guideline of 3-5% of catchment area is excessive for a well-designed

bioretention system.

A distributed rain garden approach was adopted for the treatment of stormwater to meet best practice

environmental guidelines.

The best practice environmental guidelines require the removal of pollutants from stormwater prior to the

discharge into waterways. The following table is the required removal of pollutants to satisfy best practice.

Pollutant Type Water Quality Objectives

Total Suspended Solids 80% reduction in average annual load of pollutants leaving the developed

unmitigated scenario compared to the developed mitigated scenario

Total Phosphorus 45% reduction in average annual load of pollutants leaving the developed

unmitigated scenario compared to the developed mitigated scenario

Total Nitrogen 45% reduction in average annual load of pollutants leaving the developed

unmitigated scenario compared to the developed mitigated scenario

The site has been split into potential catchment areas based on the location of drainage infrastructure and

suitable locations for treatment devices. A proposed catchment plan is below in Figure 5-1.

Figure 5-1 WSUD Catchment Plan

01 April 2014 Cardno 15

MUSIC modelling was undertaken using Melbourne Water’s MUSIC Guideline with rainfall taken from the

Koo Wee Rup pluviograph station for 2004.

Catchment 5 and Catchment 6 are proposed to receive no biological stormwater treatment within the

bioretention basins. The proposed bioretention basin will act to treat the stormwater from Catchments 1-4 to

a greater level than would otherwise be the case. This will offset the area that is to not be treated.

The MUSIC model setup and results is shown in Figure 5-2 below.

The size of each proposed bioretention basin is included in Table 5-1 below including a comparison of the

required size according to council guidelines.

6 Conclusions

The following recommendations can be drawn from this report:

1. The proposed development does not adversely impact flood flows or storage with respect to the

provisions of the Land subject to inundation overlay. The new alignment limits off-site flood level

increases to less than 40 mm and the flood extent is unchanged.

2. Flood Hazard across the site is effectively unchanged although minor local increases are noted. The

realignment of the main entry from Stud Road reduces the hazard at the access to the site. Local

increases in flood hazard, especially around the western car park area can be mitigated as part of the

detailed design for the site. Additionally Flood Emergency Response Plan for the site could be

developed to further mitigate flood hazard and provide for clear operational activities during a flood

event.

3. All new parking areas are above the flood level or protected from flooding and new floor levels are set

at 69.0 m AHD on the ground floor, matching the existing floor level in the area of the new

development. This is 600 mm above the adjacent flood level of 68.4 m AHD.

4. A construction methodology has been developed that allows for maintenance of the existing Blind

Creek Main Drain with a minimum vertical clearance of 5.6 metres. This methodology is similar to that

that would be used by Melbourne Water should a 7 metre minimum vertical clearance be provided. In

our opinion, there is no cost or construction method disadvantage to Melbourne Water with a 5.6

metre minimum clearance.

5. The development site includes enough area in the landscape works to provide for sufficient treatment

to meet stormwater quality targets via a network of distributed bioretention systems.

Based on the above, it is concluded that:

1. The proposed development is consistent with State and Local Planning Policy relating to drainage and

floodplain management;

2. The proposed development is consistent with the purpose and decision guidelines set out in the Land

Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) within the Knox Planning Scheme;

3. The proposed development is not subject to inappropriate and unacceptable flood risk, where the

safety of land users may be affected and potential for flood damage is excessive;

4. Maintenance activities on the Blind Creek Main Drain can be completed with no adverse impact to

Melbourne Water, provided a 5.6 m vertical clearance is maintained; and

5. Water Quality Treatment objectives can be met on the site.
