This section states the key standards of performance for a trunk infrastructure network. The desired standard of service details the standards that comprise an infrastructure network most suitable for the local context.

Details of the desired standard of service for a trunk infrastructure network are identified in the extrinsic material.

4.2.4.1 Water supply network

The desired standard of service for the water network includes the following:

1. Ensure drinking water complies with the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Australian drinking water guidelines in areas identified as being within Council's Water Service Area.
2. Collect, store, treat and convey potable water from source to consumers in accordance with the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008.
3. Minimise non-revenue water loss.
4. Design the water supply network in accordance with Council's adopted standards to provide:
   1. average day consumption (AD):
      1. Gladstone Urban Area – 1450L/ET/day
      2. Calliope Urban Area – 1450L/ET/day
      3. Tannum Sands/Boyne Island Urban Area – 1450L/ET/day
      4. Agnes Water Urban Area – 1170 L/ET/day
   2. minimum and maximum supply pressure of 220kPa and 800kPA at each property boundary
   3. fire flow for residential (15 l/s for 2 hours), industrial and commercial (30 l/s for 4 hours) development.  
5. Design recycled water systems to meet requirements of Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008 in accordance with state regulatory guidelines.

4.2.4.2 Sewerage network

The desired standard of service for the sewer network includes the following:

1. Provide a reliable network that collects, stores, treats and releases sewage from approved sites.
2. Design the sewerage network in accordance with:
   1. Council's adopted standards
   2. Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) guidelines
   3. the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008 
   4. all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) licence conditions
   5. key design parameters identified in Table 4.2.4.2.1.

Table 4.2.4.2.1—Key design parameters for the sewerage network

4.2.4.3 Stormwater network

The desired standard of service for the stormwater network includes the following:

1. Collect and convey stormwater flows for flood events from existing and future land use in a manner that protects life and does not cause nuisance or inundation of habitable rooms.  Design the stormwater network to comply with both quality and quantity  in accordance with Council's adopted standards.
2. Design road crossing structures to provide an appropriate level of flood immunity for a 50 year flood event (for major roads) and 10 year flood event (minor road) in accordance with Council's adopted standards.
3. Meet water quality objectives for receiving waters at all times.

4.2.4.4 Transport network

The desired standard of service for the transport network includes the following:

4.2.4.4.1 Roads

1. Provide a functional urban hierarchy that supports settlement patterns, commercial and economic activities, and freight movement.  
2. Design the road network to comply with the following:
   1. Council's adopted standards
   2. Austroads guides
   3. the Department of Transport and Main Roads' Planning and Design Manual and Interim Guide to Road Planning and Design Practice
   4. maximum road volume to capacity ratios to be 0.90, and 
   5. maximum degree of saturation for intersections identified in Table 4.2.4.4.1.1.

Table 4.2.4.4.1.1—Maximum degree of saturation for local road intersections

4.2.4.4.2 Footpaths and cycle ways

1. Plan cycle ways and footpaths to provide a safe, attractive and convenient network that links residential areas to major activity nodes and public transport interchanges, thereby encouraging walking and cycling as acceptable travel alternatives.
2. Design cycle ways (including on-road cycle ways) and footpaths to comply with Council's adopted standards and the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act 1992.

4.2.4.4.3 Public transport

1. Ensure development accommodates the integration of public transport services.
2. Provide bus stops including bus bays, shelters, seating and bus information systems in accordance with Council's adopted standards. 

4.2.4.5 Public parks and land for community facilities network

The desired standard of service for the Public Parks and land for community facilities includes the following:

1. Provide an accessible network of parks, open space, and community facilities that meets the needs of residents and visitors in accordance with the rate of provision identified in Table 4.2.4.5.1 and accessibility standards outlined in Table 4.2.4.5.2. 
2. Ensure land for public parks and community facilities has: 
   1. minimum land size as identified in table 4.2.4.5.3.
   2. configuration, slope, and acceptable level of flood immunity in accordance with Council's adopted standards.
3. Embellish public parks to complement the type and purpose of the public park as identified in Table 4.2.4.5.3.
