5.1 Presentation
Catchment Strategy Reports should be self-contained, bound documents of A4 size.

Maps and plans should preferably be A4 or A3 size and bound within the document.
For larger catchments, A2 or A1 size maps or plans may be required. In these
cases, the maps or plans may be included in the report or presented separately.

The front cover of the report should clearly identify the name of the Catchment
Strategy Report, the names of the developers (if any), the names of the
developments (if any), the name of the consultant whom prepared the Catchment
Strategy Report and the date of the report.

The first page in the report shall contain an approvals page, as shown in Appendix
A.

All text and tables are to be presented in clear, legible, typewritten format. Type
face size used should be 11 point or larger.

5.2 Data
The developer, preparing a Catchment Strategy Report, is required to collect all
relevant data to enable a Catchment Strategy Report to be evaluated and approved.

Sources of data include Local Authorities and State Government Planning

Departments for land use and growth forecast data and Indah Water Konsortium
for existing sewerage infrastructure.

Where necessary, field studies may need to be undertaken to substantiate

population equivalents from which flows and loads are determined.

All existing and proposed sewerage infrastructure within a catchment must be

included in a Catchment Strategy Report.

5.3 Consultation
Developers are advised to discuss their proposed Catchment Strategy Reports with
the relevant Planning Departments and Indah Water Konsortium when it is still in
a draft form. This will ensure all planned works have been considered and data
properly assessed.
