Go Jindabyne Utilities and Servicing Strategy

Public Release of Technical Studies from the Go Jindabyne Master Plan February 2020

*Please read this letter prior to reading the attached report*

Go Jindabyne Master Plan The Go Jindabyne Master Plan was announced in November 2018, to revitalise Jindabyne into Australia’s premier alpine destination at the heart of the Snowy Mountains, and grow the town into a great place to live, work and visit year-round. Upon commencement of the project, the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment commissioned a range of technical studies to develop an evidence base that would subsequently inform drafting of the Go Jindabyne Master Plan. The technical studies commissioned for the Go Jindabyne Master Plan were conducted between March and July 2019 by specialist consultants with expertise in a variety of different fields: 1. Demographics and Housing Study (Consultant: City Plan) 2. Environment and Heritage Study (Consultant: NGH Environmental) 3. Economic Development and Tourism Study (Consultant: Hill PDA) 4. Mobility and Connectivity Study (Consultant: GTA Consultants) 5. Infrastructure and Services Study (Consultant: Aecom) Analysis of the technical studies listed above, together with public consultation conducted in 2019, made it apparent that Jindabyne, as a town, is heavily dependent on the economic activity that occurs outside of the town itself – particularly within Kosciuszko National Park. Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct In response, the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct was announced in November 2019, to expand the scope of the Go Jindabyne Master Plan to encompass the wider Snowy Mountains region. The Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct will continue to focus on Jindabyne’s transformation into Australia’s Alpine Capital, but will now also include the high-visitation areas within the southern region of Kosciuszko National Park as well as the key transport corridors between Jindabyne and the alpine resorts. The objective of the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct is to increase year- round tourism by making the region an unmissable place to visit during any season. Benefits offered by a Special Activation Precinct include streamlined planning, government-led development, and a business concierge service that will make it easier for new businesses to set up in the region and for existing organisations to thrive.

The Special Activation Precinct will build upon the work already undertaken as part of the Go Jindabyne Master Plan to identify opportunities to: • promote the development of year-round adventure and eco-tourism attractions and improve tourism amenity within the region, • improve access within and to the region, to support increased visitation numbers, • remove capacity constraints to enable growth in winter tourism, and • grow the region into Australia’s national training base for high performance alpine athletes and para-athletes. Public Release of Go Jindabyne Technical Studies The Department is now publicly releasing the technical studies from the Go Jindabyne Master Plan, as part of our ongoing commitment to community engagement and transparency. Please note that these technical studies were conducted under the original scope of the Go Jindabyne Master Plan and thus may no longer be relevant and are not directly applicable to the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct, given its expanded scope. Accordingly, the findings of these Go Jindabyne technical studies are subject to change through the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct process. For this reason, we are not seeking public comments on these technical studies. Please also note that at this stage, the findings of these technical studies have not been endorsed by the NSW Government. You will find that some information has been redacted from these technical studies to protect culturally and commercially sensitive information and ensure privacy of landholders. Specifically, the following information has been redacted:

• Demographics and Housing Study The following information has been redacted because it contains commercially sensitive information related to specific properties in Jindabyne: • Tables 36, 41, 43, 44, 46, 48, 68 and 69 (as well as their references in the table of contents). • Figures 58, 80 and 81 (as well as their references in the table of contents). • Text on pages 113, 151 and 156.

• Environment and Heritage Study The following information has been redacted to protect sensitive Aboriginal cultural heritage information, or because further analysis is required to confirm the accuracy of these findings: • Figures 4-2, 4-7, 4-8, 4-9, 5-4, 5-5, 5-7, 5-8, 5-9, 6-3, 6-4, 6-5, 7-1, and 7-2 (as well as their references in the table of contents).

These Go Jindabyne technical studies will be reviewed in detail through the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct process, and their respective scopes will be expanded to reflect the larger investigation area that now includes areas of Kosciuszko National Park. The technical studies that will be prepared for the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct will be publicly released in early 2021 when the draft Snowy Mountains Master Plan is released for public comment. Next Steps The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment will continue to work closely with the community, stakeholders, Snowy Monaro Regional Council, and other NSW Government agencies on the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct. Community consultation on the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct commenced in early 2020, and will continue throughout the project. To keep informed on the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct, please visit our project website at www.planning.nsw.gov.au/snowymountainssap and subscribe to our email list to receive future updates and opportunities to have your say. Any questions regarding these technical studies or the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct can be directed to Rukshan de Silva, Principal Planner, at [email protected]. We look forward to working with you to shape the future of the Snowy Mountains.

Executive Summary The Go Jindabyne 2036 Masterplan provides an opportunity to deliver a clear vision for the hub of the Snowy Mountains and revitalise Jindabyne as Australia’s premier alpine destination. A Utilities and Services Study is required to inform the Masterplan and provide an understanding of the relationship between Jindabyne and the wider Snowy Mountains region. The purpose of this study is to gain a detailed understanding of the existing utilities capacity and projected demand for public and social infrastructure in Jindabyne, including recommendations for new infrastructure that will be needed to meet the forecast demand. There are several existing utility services in and around the site which are summarised below and discussed in detail in this report: • Potable Water: Drinking water is provided by the Snowy Monaro Regional Council primarily through intakes from Lake Jindabyne; • Waste Water: Wastewater servicing is also provided by the Snowy Monaro Regional Council and effluent is treated through 7 sewerage treatment plants. Discharge from Jindabyne Sewer Treatment Plant is to Cobbon Creek; • Electrical: Essential Energy is the electrical provider for the Jindabyne area with a zone substation and Jindabyne, Jindabyne East and a 1MW hydro generator at Jindabyne Dam; • Gas: Preliminary searches indicate the presence of a small number of gas mains provided by Origin, further investigations are continuing; and • Data and Telecommunications: There is a number of existing Telstra and NBN connections available in Jindabyne. As a part of this Utilities and Servicing Study, the following authority consultation has been undertaken: • Attendance of utility authorities project working groups; • Review of Stage 1 reports by utility authorities; and • Ongoing coordination meetings.

The indicative building service loads for the Go Jindabyne study area is summarised below; however it is noted that these are provided to inform lead-in infrastructure requirements only and are subject to change as part of design development: • Potable water: 5.4 – 9.4 ML/day (Maximum Daily Demand); • Wastewater: 15 - 26 L/s(Average Dry Weather Flow); • Electrical: 10 - 15 MVA (Peak Demand); • Gas: Unable to be calculated as per other services; and • Data and Telecommunications: Unable to be calculated as per other services. To ensure current capacity issues are addressed and to meet future growth demands in the study area, the following have been recommended for each utility service: Potable Water • Upgrade works for Jindabyne Intake WPS (JIWPS); • Upgrade East Jindabyne Kunama Reservoir (KR) and East Jindabyne Reservoir (EJBWPS); • Upgrade Jindabyne High Zone (HZR), Low Zone (LZR) Barry Way (BWR) and High Country (HCR) reservoirs; • Upgrade East Jindabyne Water Pumping Station (EJBWPS);

1.0 Introduction The Department of Planning and Environment (DP&E) has engaged AECOM to undertake a Utilities and Services Study for Jindabyne to inform a 2036 Masterplan. The purpose of the utilities scope is to identify existing utility infrastructure with consideration for layout and capacity for new utilities to meet forecast demand, including further detail on potential utility connection locations specific to the Jindabyne Precinct. This report has been developed to inform the master planning of the Jindabyne Precinct. It is important to note that only preliminary master plan options have been assessed as part of this report. Specifically, this report: • Summarises the existing services infrastructure located within the Jindabyne Precinct; • Advises on opportunities and constraints; and • Provides advice on potential infrastructure upgrades to support the master plan. This Utilities and Servicing Study considers the following services infrastructure: • Potable Water; • Wastewater; • Electrical; • Gas; and • Data and Communications. It should be noted that details of existing infrastructure found in this report are based on drawings and data provided by utility authorities. This information will need additional confirmation through site investigations prior to the commencement of any further utility design, including approvals by utility authorities.

2.1 Study Area Description and Surrounding Area The Jindabyne study area is delineated in Figure 1. It is bounded by the surrounding settlements of Adaminaby, Berridale, Cooma and Dalgety which lie in the wider Snowy Mountains region. While the Jindabyne area has a large amount of existing infrastructure, upgrades and diversions to this existing infrastructure are required to be investigated to meet the increased demand for community services, proposed developments and urban amenity to support the new master plan.

2.2 Staging The exact staging of the proposed developments is still under consideration. The potential diversion and/or decommissioning of existing infrastructure (and any interim works that may be required to achieve this) is to be undertaken on the concept master plan options. This report is primarily focused on the feasibility of servicing the ultimate development of the 2036 master plan from an infrastructure capacity perspective. The individual staging of utility services layouts will be considered during the detailed design of each study area.

3.4 Development Context The Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) announced the ‘Go Jindabyne 2036’ Masterplan which intends to revitalise the gateway town and transform it into the nation’s premier alpine destination. This plan aims to investigate opportunities to strengthen the town’s year-round tourism sector, enhance access to jobs and services and improve transport connections while maintaining the unique character of the Snowy Mountains. To support future demand for Jindabyne’s proposed development, the Masterplan also sets out to investigate links and opportunities in surrounding towns and villages including Adaminaby, Berridale, Cooma and Dalgety. Other planned developments that have been considered in this investigation include recently approved developments by the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, Jindabyne Town Centre Masterplan 2013 and the Jindabyne Central School Upgrade 2018.

3.5 Combined Services Plan A combined services plan has been developed for the Jindabyne study area which identifies existing utility service locations to provide an overview of potential utility gaps. All services are shown schematically and are subject to changes during subsequent design stages and further inputs from relevant utility authorities. Schematic layouts for each existing utility service are outlined in individual sections of this report. A preliminary combined service plan is shown in Figure 2.

3.6 Current Network Capacity Analysis of the current network capacity has been taken from existing data provided by utilities authorities and records from the Snowy Monaro Regional Council. Due to the influence of visitor numbers on service loadings, summer and winter data have been distinguish as maximum and minimum loads in the calculated demand estimates. Assessment of the current network capacity has been provided for: • Potable Water; • Wastewater; and • Electrical assets. Potable water and Wastewater Reports prepared for the Snowy River Shire Council including the Integrated Water Cycle Management Plan by HydroScience Consulting and the Jindabyne Sewage Scheme by MWH have been referenced in this report to provide a basis for existing capacity assessment. These reports provide background information on pump stations and treatment plant locations and their capacities and data on water license volumes accessible by the developments in the study area. Electrical Existing electrical capacity and network limitations for the Jindabyne study area have been made available by the energy provider Essential Energy. Electrical infrastructure and capacities summarised in the Essential Energy 2018 Distribution Annual Planning Report (DAPR) have been used for assessing capacity constraints in this report. Gas There is limited information available on the existing gas network and its capacity. It is expected that the gas reticulation will not be expanded to service any future development due to the unfeasibility of a centralised gas network in the study area. Telecommunications Existing telecommunications servicing has been taken from the NBN rollout maps, including the type of servicing available in each area.

4.0 Population Forecast and Urban Development

4.1 Population Centres The main population centres within the Go Jindabyne study area include Jindabyne, East Jindabyne and South of Jindabyne. These urban centres are currently well serviced and are expected to experience significant population and demographic changes. Population and demographic information of these localities have been taken from census data available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) as well as from the Jindabyne Housing and Demographic Study (City Plan, 2019). The collected data provides a basis for which utilities and servicing capacities can be assessed for current and projected usages. Land use information of the study area obtained from the Cooma-Monaro Local Environment Plan (LEP), 2013 provides an overview of current building typologies and any council approved developments which may have implications towards existing and projected utilities servicing capability. Figure 4 at the end of this section illustrates the nominated land zoning types for the study area highlighting locations with potential changes in servicing demands in the future.

4.2 Population 4.2.1 Existing The current population for the study area has been taken from ABS data and Jindabyne Housing and Demographic Study (City Plan, 2019) which have been adopted for the purposes of services demand analysis in this report. There is no available census data that corresponds exactly with the study area and demographic trends. However, an area combining Statistical Area 1s (SA1s) has been adopted to provide an approximate figure for the existing residential population locally. At the time of the 2016 Census, there was a total permanent population of 2,907 for the SA1 study area. A breakdown of the SA1 population centres for the GoJindabyne study area is shown in Table 2.

An experimental forecast for the future number of visitors using an upper and lower bound has been adopted from the Jindabyne Housing and Demographic Study, (City Plan, 2019).

D R A F T

The lower bound scenario adopts a constant increase of visitors from NSW while the upper bound scenario assumes an extended 10% growth of visitors per year. The projected peak numbers of daily visitors are shown below in Table 6 and Table 7.

By combining the projected usual residential population with the expected visitor population, an estimate for the future total population can be deduced. The lower bound estimate considers the baseline usual residential population scenario and the lower bound average daily peak visitor numbers to generate the lowest possible population forecast. While the upper bound estimate considers the supercharged usual residential population scenario and the upper bound average daily peak visitor numbers to produce the highest possible population forecast. These two forecasts have been summarised in Table 8 and Figure 3 and show a gradual increase in peak and off-peak populations ranging between 6,225 to 19,050 by the year 2036.

Areas earmarked for potential development expansion or intensification has been highlighted by the Hill Thalis masterplan development options shown in Figure 5. These proposed areas consider approved development applications and align with masterplans already in place. Yellow represents areas of possible development intensification while purple indicates areas already planned for expansion. The plan shows preferred layouts of the sites only. Major development initiatives include but are not limited to: Jindabyne Town Centre: • Increased density in lots with frontages to Kosciusko Road to incentivise new connections; • Revitalisation of the shopping centre district and extension of vertical development to enhance pedestrian friendly focus; • Establishment of a small commercial/mixed use precinct in Nettin Circuit; • New civic spaces including library and community square; • Upgrade of Jindabyne Central School and provide new aged care facilities; and • Residential development south of town centre. East Jindabyne: • Residential development towards Lake Jindabyne with improved connectivity to East Jindabyne; and • Reconfigure Snowy-Hydro lands for a more legible layout. South of Jindabyne: • Allow for modest expansion of the Leesville Estate Employment Lands – focusing on high tech/ light industrial uses; • Upgrade waste water treatment plant and improve urban stormwater treatment to re-establish health of the river system; and • Increased density of lots along Barry Way and the Snowy River Way.

It should be noted that these are potential developments only and have been included for the purposes of utilities and services infrastructure planning. These may not reflect community approved or actual developments in the future.

The findings of this study indicated that the study area has an approximate capacity of additional 891 dwelling houses/lots and 1,554 dual occupancy dwellings. There are currently two Planning Proposals (PP) being assessed by the DPE and if approved, an additional 18 dual occupancy dwellings could be accommodated for. Bringing the available dwelling capacity to 909 dwelling houses/lots and 1572 dual occupancy dwellings. Projected According to the Jindabyne Housing and Demographic Study (City Plan, 2019) the projected usual residential dwellings was derived by factoring the permanent population by 1.47. This was the average number of people per household indicated in the 2016 Census adjusted for unoccupied dwellings. Table 10 provides an estimate of the projected dwellings for usual residents up to 2036. Table 10Projected Dwellings for Usual Residents (Go Jindabyne Study Area)

The average number of bedrooms per dwellings according to the 2016 ABS Census for the Jindabyne- Berridale SA2 was 3.2. This was applied to the number of bedrooms required for visitors in the study area to derive the number of dwellings needed to service the projected increase in visitor population. The lower case considers the minimum projected visitor numbers during the season while the upper case considers the maximum projected visitor numbers during the season.

Table 14 summarises the total number of dwellings required for the Jindabyne Study Area to meet the forecast population increase accounting for lower and upper bound visitor forecasts prepared by City Plan 2019. It is the sum of the usual (baseline and supercharged scenarios) and visitor residence dwellings (seasonal min and max) respectively shown in Table 12 and Table 13 above. By 2036, the required number of dwellings will range between 3,100 in summer and 5,735 in winter. This is approximately 1,015 to 3,650 more dwellings than currently available.

4.3.2 Commercial and Others Existing The Jindabyne Town Centre is around 18 Ha in size comprising of non-residential and non- accommodation commercial floor space. Retail areas in the study area are concentrated in a strip of commercial development facing Kosciuszko Road. This includes a major supermarket, offices, cafes, restaurants and medical centres totalling 119 non-residential business units with an approximate leasable Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 27,960m2 as detailed in the Go Jindabyne Economic Development Study (Hill PDA Consulting, 2019). The Lakewood Estate/Leesville Industrial precinct located along Barry Way comprises of area designated for light industrial purposes. Activities in this precinct include trade supplies, mechanics and workshops. There are currently 52 industrial businesses taking up 27,844m2 of GFA (Hill PDA Consulting, 2019). Projected As there is no available information on the forecast commercial and industrial development, an average GFA growth rate of 5% based on projected residential population growth has been applied.

Snowy Mountains Grammar School The Snowy Mountains Grammar School has a student population of 270 with 75 students in the Junior School and 195 in the Senior School. Jindabyne Central School The NSW Government has committed to upgrading the Jindabyne Central School located on Park Road, Jindabyne with a student population of 822 in 2018. The project will include: • An integrated library (approx. 750m2) and education community hub (350m2) building for potential use by the community ;

D R A F T

• New permanent classrooms; • Refurbishment and repurposing of various existing buildings; • Upgrade to existing sports field; and • Updates to the existing canteen and student toilet block. The planned upgrade is expected for be complete by mid-2020. Aged Care Accommodation The Jindabyne Housing and Demographic Study (City Plan 2019) estimates that for residents aged over 85, they will most likely require specialised aged care accommodation and support services. Based on demographic data presented in the aforementioned report, by 2036, an additional 159 residents will be over 85 and therefore will require an additional 159 aged care beds. This is reflected in Table 16 below. Of this forecasted population in Jindabyne-Berridale (SA2), 35% is assumed to be located in the study area.

Water is transported via Water Pump Stations (WPS) through a large number of water reticulation mains connecting the areas of Jindabyne, East Jindabyne and South of Jindabyne and are shown in Figure 6. The network is physically constrained by the steep and sloping topography, resulting in the need for a large number of pump stations and comparatively expensive pipework to protect the asset from landslides or other geotechnical conditions. There is also a recycled water scheme that was commissioned in June 2010 and recommissioned in June 2011 to transport recycled water from the Berridale Sewer Treatment Plant to the Coolamatong Golf Course for irrigation purposes. It is noted that the above discussion only considers SMRC water infrastructure, there is the potential that private and/or other authority water infrastructure is present on the site, however, no records of this infrastructure has been made available for this study and have not been identified on the DBYD plans. Onsite utility investigations and service searches are recommended as part of any future development applications.

5.3 Demand Assessment An assessment of the increase in potable water demand generated by projected population growth has been made to determine the required infrastructure upgrades needed to match this development. Demand estimates for potable water have been calculated using the Design Criteria Guidelines Supplement for Single Reticulation System (Sydney Water, 2014) and is based on Maximum Daily Demand (MDD) (also known as ‘peak day demand’). The BASIX reduction has been taken from the Building Sustainability Index targets applying to residential units only. A summary of the water demand unit rates is presented in Table 18

5.4 Forecast Demand An estimate of the future potable water demand for the Jindabyne study area generated from the projected population growth has been calculated based on figures provided by the City Plan Jindabyne Housing and Demographic Study, 2019 as well as census data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The forecast number of residential dwellings and non-residential developments outlined in Table 14 and Table 17 respectively has been used in this potable water demand analysis. The study has classified potential residential developments based on housing density which are ‘Single Dwelling Residential’ with an equivalent maximum day demand rate of 2.2 kL/dwelling/day. The commercial density has been estimated on an equivalent potable water demand rate of 41 kL/ha/day while other non-commercial developments have demand unit rates as shown in Table 18. In accordance to BASIX reduction targets for the SMRC LGA area, new residential developments in New South Wales are required to reduce mains supplied potable water consumption by 30% (since the introduction of the BASIX amendment in 2006) compared to the average NSW dwelling. Non- residential demands do not have a BASIX reduction target applied. The cumulative MDD of the Go Jindabyne study area when incorporating BASIX compliance is estimated to range between 5.3 – 9.4 ML/day by 2036 as summarised in Table 19. Indicative potable water service loads are shown below; however it should be noted that these have been provided to inform lead-in infrastructure requirements only and are subject to changes as part of design development. These are indicative estimates and rely on population projections prepared by Alpha Demographics and Planning Information, and City Plan Strategy and Development. They have been derived based on current ratios, shares and relationships which may not hold true in the future.

5.5 Preliminary Infrastructure Assessment 5.5.1 Existing Condition The Integrated Water Cycle Management Detailed Strategy Study (HydroScience, 2014) identified a number of potable water supply issues including: • Lake Jindabyne is an unprotected water source and has potential high risk to drinking water quality; • Drinking water quality issues across a number of Water Supply Systems exceeding ADWG guidelines; • Uncertainty of population numbers and peak population impacting SRSC’s ability to determine appropriate estimates of future water supply and sewerage demand; • Power supply in Jindabyne, East Jindabyne and Tyrolean Village is unreliable and may cause interruptions to water supply; • Insufficient Water Extraction Licence water allocation to supply Jindabyne township annual demand by 2018 and previous exceedances of water extraction licences; • Need for high chlorine dosing at East Jindabyne; • Difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified personnel; and • A number of intakes, pumping stations and reservoirs in poor condition and requiring rectification work. Detailed design stages will need to consider the relative benefit of ongoing operating and maintenance costs and reliability impacts for aged assets. The following assets have been identified for rectification works:

D R A F T

Jindabyne o Jindabyne Water Intake pumping station in poor condition (rating 1 out of 10) o Jindabyne Low Zone water pumping station in poor condition (rating 1 out of 10) o Barry Way WPS in poor condition (rating 1 out of 10) o Lakewood Estate WPS in poor condition (rating 1 out of 10) o High Country Estate WPS in poor condition (rating 1 out of 10) o Leesville WPS in poor condition (rating 1 out of 10) East Jindabyne o East Jindabyne WPS in poor condition (rating 1 out of 10) o Kunama reservoir roof asset in poor condition (rating 3 out of 10) o East Jindabyne reservoir roof asset in poor condition (rating 1 out of 10)

5.5.2 Future Condition The proposed intensification and expansion of development as outlined in Section 4.3 and population growth will increase water demand in the area. The projected MDD by 2036 has been included in Table 20. Table 20 Future Water Capacity Name Current Future MDD Percentage Future Capacity MDD(ML/ (ML/day) Increase (%) Operating (ML/day) day) Capacity (%) Intake Capacity EIWPS 8.6 0.6 0.94 +57% 10.9% JIWPS 8.6 5.4 8.44 +56% 98.1% Reservoir Capacity Jindabyne and East 9.4 6.0 9.415 +56% 100.2% Jindabyne

According to the MDD forecast shown in Figure 7, the Go Jindabyne study area may reach total intake capacity by 2031 and reservoir capacity by 2036. To maintain adequate supply of water to service the study area population, the total capacity of intakes and reservoirs should be equivalent to MDD to provide for variances in demand, firefighting water and supply interruptions. Based on the condition assessment in the Integrated Water Cycle Management Detailed Strategy Study and MDD analysis for projected residential and non-residential development, the following upgrade works will be required to address current capacity issues and to meet future growth demands: Intake • Upgrade works for Jindabyne Intake WPS (JIWPS) – mechanical and electrical components. Reservoir • Upgrade East Jindabyne Kunama Reservoir (KR) and East Jindabyne Reservoir (EJBWPS) – repairs to reservoir roof assets; and • Upgrade Jindabyne High Zone (HZR), Low Zone (LZR) Barry Way (BWR) and High Country (HCR) reservoirs - potential increase in capacities due to uplift in development in serviced catchment.

D R A F T

Water Pumping Station • Upgrade East Jindabyne Water Pumping Station (EJBWPS) – mechanical and electrical components; and • Upgrade Jindabyne Low Zone (LZR), High Zone (HZR) and High Country (HCWPS) water pumping stations – mechanical and electrical components. Water Mains • New pipe work in growth areas to service new developments in Jindabyne, East Jindabyne and South of Jindabyne. Aside from the technical constraints, the current water extraction license issued by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment and WaterNSW is a major constraint given the overall projected increase in usual and visitor population numbers. A summary of these are shown overleaf in Figure 8.

6.0 Wastewater

6.1 Background Wastewater within the Jindabyne study area is managed by the SMRC through the Jindabyne Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) as well as a number of privately owned sewage treatment plants notably at resorts. Wastewater other than in the townships and resorts are treated using approved on- site management systems such as but not limited to: • Septic tanks; • Wet composting; and • Aerated wastewater treatment systems (AWTS). The Jindabyne Sewerage system contains approximately 50 km of rising and gravity sewer mains covering seven sub-catchments, covering an area of 780 hectares. There are fifteen pump stations (SPSs) conveying flows to the Jindabyne STP for treatment. These plants are operated under licences issued by the NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA). The Jindabyne and East Jindabyne sewer catchment areas are split into the following catchment basins: • COB – Cobbin Estate SPS; • EJ1 – East Jindabyne SPS 1; • EJ2 – East Jindabyne SPS 2; • EJ3 – East Jindabyne SPS 3; • EJ4 – Kunama Drive SPS 4; • EJ6 – Alpine Sands SPS; • JS1 – Barry Way SPS 1; (decommissioned) • JS2 – Jinabyne Bowling CI; • JS2A – Kalkite Street SPS 2A; • JS3 – Cobbon Crescent SPS 3; • JS4 – Kosciuszko Road SPS 4; • JS5 – Station Resort SPS 5 ; • JS6 – Leesville SPS 6; • TY1 – Tulong Close TY1; and • TY2 – Rainbow Beach TY2 These zones provide an overview of the wastewater network and are shown in Figure 9.

6.2 Existing Capacity The Jindabyne study area is currently serviced by one main Sewage Treatment Plans (STP) as well as privately owned sewage treatment plants and on-site systems. The capacity of the Jindabyne STP is as indicate (assuming hydraulic loading of 1 EP contributes to 240 L/d):

SMRC Study Area STP Location Capacity (EP) Inflow ADWF Comments Jindabyne Sewer Council has implemented 8,000 or (1920 kL/day) Treatment Plant upgrades and does not Jindabyne STP (Stage 1,770 kL/d or (20.5L/s) expect any capacity 10,000 or (2400 1 Augmentation in increases to be required kL/day) 2019) within the next 10 years Drawing from SMRC’s 2011 draft Capital Works plan, council is expected to upgrade the Jindabyne STP to meet EPL requirements. This involves increasing the STP capacity from 8,000 EP to 10,000 EP. Sewage flow is transferred to treatment plants via a series of Sewer Pumping Stations (SPS), the key supply areas can be split into the following sewer basins:

*Identified capacity issue The extents of these zones and an overview of the waste water network are shown in Figure 9. Similar to the potable water network, the sewage system is physically constrained by the steep and sloping topography, resulting in the need for a large number of pump stations and comparatively expensive pipework to protect the asset from landslides or other geotechnical conditions. The existing wastewater infrastructure is outlined below in Figure 9. Onsite utility investigations and service searches are recommended as part of any future development application.

6.3 Demand Assessment An assessment of the estimated sewer loading resulting from the projected increase in population and dwelling number has been undertaken to assist in determining the required wastewater infrastructure upgrades necessary to accommodate future development within the Go Jindabyne study area. Demand forecasting and profiles for wastewater have been calculated using the Sydney Water Area Planning Design Criteria Guide: WSA 02-2002-3.0 (Sewer Code of Australia) and is expressed as an Equivalent Population for a particular land use. The BASIX reduction has been taken from the Building Sustainability Index targets which have been summarised below in Table 21. Table 21 Sewer Design Loading Criteria

Land Use Units EP per unit Sources SWC Area Planning Design Single Occupancy Lots EP/dwelling 3.5 Criteria Guide: WSA 02-2002- 3.0 (Sewer Code of Australia) SWC Area Planning Design Local Commercial EP/ha 75 Criteria Guide: WSA 02-2002- 3.0 (Sewer Code of Australia) SWC Area Planning Design Future Industrial Areas EP/ha 150 Criteria Guide: WSA 02-2002- 3.0 (Sewer Code of Australia) Water Supply Code of Educational institutions EP/Student 0.2 Australia WSA 03-2011 - 3.1 (Sydney Water 2014 Edition) Water Supply Code of Hospital and nursing EP/Bed 3.4 Australia WSA 03-2011 - 3.1 homes (Sydney Water 2014 Edition) SWC Area Planning Design ADWF L/s 0.0017 Criteria Guide: WSA 02-2002- 3.0 (Sewer Code of Australia) Building Sustainability Index BASIX Reduction % 30 Targets

6.4 Forecast Demand An estimate of forecasted wastewater loading has been calculated based on the projected population growth specified in the City Plan Jindabyne Housing and Demographic Study, 2019 as well as census data from the ABS. Current population and projected demographic changes for the study area have been used to formulate future dwelling numbers while commercial and social infrastructure plans have been extrapolated from the Jindabyne Growth Structure Plan 2007, Jindabyne Town Centre Masterplan 2013 and Jindabyne Central School Upgrade Masterplan 2018 . These figures inform the estimated number of dwellings for residential lots and GFA for non-residential developments. In accordance with the Water Supply Code of Australia, the study area has been classified as comprising of ‘single occupancy lots’ with an Equivalent Population (EP) per dwellings of 3.5 and other non-residential developments. The Average Dry Weather Flow (ADWF) has been taken as 150 L/day or 0.0017 L/s as recommended in the updated 2016 Sydney Water sewage flow schedule. Non- residential development yields are outlined in Table 17. Under BASIX requirement, new residential developments located within the SMRC LGA are required to reduce wastewater loading by 30% (since the BASIX amendment was introduced in 2006) when compared to the average NSW dwelling. Under this scenario, the ADWF allowing or BASIX for Jindabyne-Berridale SA2 including the Go Jindabyne study area has been calculated to range between 15-26 L/s during winter peak and summer trough seasons as shown in Table 21. Wastewater service loads are shown in Figure 10 and Table 22 below, however it should be noted that these have been provided to inform lead-in infrastructure requirements only and are subject to

6.5 Preliminary Infrastructure Assessment 6.5.1 Existing Condition Treated wastewater from the Jindabyne STP is discharged into a series of attenuation ponds before being discharged from an overflow structure from Pond 6 into Cobbon Creek. The allowable maximum volume and mass discharged by the Jindabyne STP is governed by EPA License No. 773 which indicates that discharge into Cobbon creek must not exceed 2000 kL/day or 23.15L/s. The current ADWF of the Jindabyne STP is approximately 20.5 L/s which is below the EPA license allowance. Overall the Jindabyne STP operates below its design capacity and within its EPA requirements. The 2014 Integrated Water Cycle Management Detailed Strategy Study identified a number of issues with the current wastewater system: • Higher residential sewerage bills compared to the NSW median; • Higher operating and pumping costs compared to NSW local Water Utilities; • Issues with demonstrating environmental and health protection at Sewer Treatment Plants due failure to comply with EP licensing requirements in the past; • Capacity issues at several sewage pumping stations; and • A number of sewerage services are in poor condition and require mainly electrical and mechanical rectification work. Detailed design stages will need to consider the relative benefit of ongoing operating and maintenance costs and reliability impacts for aged assets. The following assets have been identified: Jindabyne o Jindabyne SPS (JS2A and JS6) expected increase due to projected growth; o Kosciuszko Road SPS (JS4) insufficient capacity; o Leesville SPS (JS6) insufficient capacity; o Jindabyne SPS (JS2A, JS3 and JS4) insufficient capacity and upgrade overdue; o Jindabyne SPS (JS5) in poor condition (rating 1 out of 10); and o Jindabyne SPS (JS6) in poor condition (rating 2 out of 10). East Jindabyne o Jerrara Drive/Kosciuszko Road SPS (EJ4 – 29.8L/s) likely to overflow and does not have overflow storage; and o Kunama Drive SPS (EJ5 – 31L/s) likely to overflow due to lack of capacity and does not have overflow storage. 6.5.2 Future Condition The proposed intensification and expansion of development as outlined in Section 4.3 and projected population growth will increase wastewater demand in certain localities. According to the wastewater ADWF forecast and upon completion of the Jindabyne STP Stage 1 augmentation works, the Go Jindabyne study area will have sufficient sewage capacity up to 2036. However, to maintain sewage treatment capacity and to meet EPA requirements, a number of rectification works are required. The projected capacities have been included in Table 23.

*Assessment made in Integrated Water Cycle Management Detailed Strategy Study, 2014 by HydroScience Based on the condition assessment in the Integrated Water Cycle Management Detailed Strategy Study and future demand analysis for projected residential and non-residential development, the following upgrade works will be needed: Jindabyne • Upgrade to Kalkite Street SPS2A (JSPS 2A); • Upgrade to Kosciuszko Road SPS4 (JSPS4); • Upgrade to Station Resort SPS5 (JSPS5); and • Upgrade to Leesville SPS6 (JSPS6). East Jindabyne • Upgrade to Siesta Villa SPS3 (EJSPS3) – no information on capacity but minor augmentation may be required to cope with proposed development; • Upgrade to Jerrara Drive SPS4 (EJSPS4) – likely to overflow as no overflow storage; and • Upgrade to Kunama Drive SPS5 (EJSPS5) – likely to overflow due to lack of capacity and no overflow storage. Sewer Mains • New pipe work in growth areas to service new developments in Jindabyne, East Jindabyne and South of Jindabyne as shown in Figure 11.

It should be noted that a large number of lots are treated by private and on-site sewage management systems throughout. SMRC has also prepared a Demand Management Plan (2012) which recommends demand management measures to be implemented in the study area. These factors may result in a reduction in the overall projected wastewater demand.

7.1 Background Essential Energy is the supplier of electricity for the greater Jindabyne area as part of the Southern network catchment as shown below in Figure 12. The overall Cooma sub-transmission system is supplied from TransGrid’s 132/66kV sub-transmission substation at Cooma.

Figure 12: Essential Energy Network Map The Go Jindabyne study area is predominately serviced via three substations: • Jindabyne 11kV Substation; • Jindabyne 33kV Substation; and • Jindabyne East 66kV Substation Connecting these substations are sub-transmission feeders that service the study area: • 82D 66kV - Transgrid Cooma 132/66kV STS to Jindabyne East ZS; • 82J/2 66kV – Jindabyne ZS to Snowy Lookout Sw Stn; and • 82R 66kV – Jindabyne East ZS to Jindabyne ZS. A 1.1MW hydro generator is also located at Jindabyne Dam and is connected to the Jindabyne zone substation 11kV busbar via feeder JIN22.

D R A F T

7.2 Existing Capacity The existing Essential Energy infrastructure on the site has been identified based on DBYD records and the Essential Energy Asset Management Distribution Annual Planning Report (DAPR) 2018. These records indicate the presence of numerous electrical services within and adjacent to the Jindabyne study area. The current electrical network primarily consists of 11kV lines servicing the main town surrounding Lake Jindabyne and along the main roads Barry Way and The Snowy River Way. 33kV lines are also present servicing the outer perimeter of the Jindabyne study area. The exact depths and positions of the existing electrical mains are unknown and further investigation will be required to determine the precise layout. Figure 13 below outlines the existing Essential Energy bulk transmission and sub-transmission lines:

Figure 13: Essential Energy Cooma Network (Distribution Annual Planning Report 2018) The full reticulation network is shown in Figure 14 split into the following networks: • 11kV reticulation lines; • 33kV transmission lines; and • 66kV transmission lines. The forecast loads for the sub-transmission feeder and STS and ZS servicing the study area have been provided by Essential Energy and are shown in Figure 15 below. The report identifies no system limitations for the Cooma sub-transmission system up to 2024.

7.3 Demand Assessment An assessment of the estimated electrical demand for the study area has been undertaken to assist in determining the required electrical infrastructure upgrades necessary to service developments associated with the population increase up to 2036. Demand forecasting and profiles were developed for the study area based on a Maximum Demand rate specified by AS3000 Table C3 unless indicated otherwise. As Essential Energy dwelling demand unit rates have not been provided, the Endeavour Energy recommended After Diversity Maximum Demand (ADMD) was adopted. These are shown respectively below in Table 24 and Table 25. Table 24 AS3000:2007 - Table C3 Maximum Demand (non-domestic installations)

Table 25 Endeavour Energy Growth Servicing Plan 2018 - Table 1 - ADMD by application

The electrical demand forecasting for the Jindabyne study area has been calculated using a combination of defined unit rates from standards and past AECOM experiences. An Energy Saver Aged-Care Toolkit report prepared by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage in 2014 defined the peak electricity consumption for a typical aged care facility based on 15 energy audits in NSW. The BASIX energy reduction has been taken from the Building Sustainability Index targets and the load ranges have been summarised below in Table 26.

7.4 Forecast Demand An estimate of forecasted electrical loading has been calculated based on the projected population growth specified in the City Plan Jindabyne Housing and Demographic Study, 2019 as well as census data from the ABS. Current population and projected demographic changes for the study area have been used to formulate future dwelling numbers while commercial and social infrastructure plans have been extrapolated from the Jindabyne Growth Structure Plan 2007, Jindabyne Town Centre Masterplan 2013 and Jindabyne Central School Upgrade Masterplan 2018 . These figures inform the estimated number of dwellings for residential lots and GFA for non-residential developments. In accordance with the Endeavour Energy criteria guide, the study area has been classified as comprising of ‘detached residential’ for the purpose of area studies while ‘commercial’ , ‘light industrial’ and ‘school’ developments have assumed an average energy demand rate . Under BASIX requirement, new residential developments located within the SMRC LGA are required to reduce electrical demand by 30% (since the BASIX amendment was introduced in 2006) when compared to the average NSW dwelling. Under this scenario, the electrical demand allowing for BASIX for the Go Jindabyne study area has been calculated to range between 10 to 15 MVA by 2036 as shown in Table 21. Indicative electrical loads forecasts are shown in Table 27, however it should be noted that these have been provided to inform lead-in infrastructure requirements only and are subject to changes as part of design development. These are indicative estimates only and rely on population projections prepared by Alpha Demographics and Planning Information, and City Plan Strategy and Development. They have been derived based on current ratios, shares and relationships which may not hold true in the future.

7.5 Potential ESD Initiatives This report shows “baseline” utilities responses but key Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) initiatives recommended for further investigation as part of detailed design include; • Solar PV; • Building orientation; • Electric car charging; • Centralised heat extraction system; • Geothermal heating; • Smart metering; and • Glazing options to improve thermal comfort and reduce heating and cooling loads. Uptake of ESD initiatives may impact the final electrical peak demand and associated infrastructure requirements.

D R A F T

7.6 Preliminary Infrastructure Assessment Based on the Essential Energy DAPR, 2018, there are no identified system limitations in the Cooma Supply Area up to 2024. The report also indicated that the sub-transmission feeder load rating during winter for the Jindabyne ZS was 19 MVA while the Jindabyne East ZS was 39 MVA. The report shows that by 2023/24 the forecast load of the two sub-transmission feeders is only 15.9 MVA indicating that there may be sufficient spare capacity in the existing sub-transmission feeders. The proposed intensification and expansion of development as outlined in Section 4.3 will have the following impacts on the electrical infrastructure in the Go Jindabyne study area: • Additional electrical load on: o Jindabyne 66/33/11kV substation; o Jindabyne East 66/11kV substations; o Jindabyne Dam Generator (currently 1.1MW); o Jindabyne Pumping Station; and o 82J/1, 82R and 82D sub-transmission feeder cables. • From the Essential Energy DAPR, 2018, the Jindabyne ZS has a cyclic rating of 36 MVA while the Jindabyne East ZS has a rating of 12 MVA totalling 48 MVA for the study area. The forecast electrical loading for the overall Go Jindabyne study area is expected to range between 10 - 15 MVA by 2036 indicating that there is sufficient design capacity to meet future growth demand. It should be noted that the forecast figures are estimates only and are based on historical data and ratios which may not reflect actual future electrical demand. Additionally, the following new electrical infrastructure will likely be required to support any new development: • New 11kV feeder routes to support the proposed new developments; and • New Kiosk substations to service new development. These are identified overleaf in Figure 17

8.0 Gas

8.1 Background Gas servicing to the Jindabyne Study Area is provided by Origin Energy, which has since been acquired by APA Group in 2007. Figure 18 indicates the locations within New South Wales that are serviced by the Origin Energy LPG network which includes the Jindabyne study area.

Figure 18 Origin Energy (APA Group) service network There is limited information available on the existing gas network and its capacity, further investigation is continuing to ascertain any supply limitations and potential upgrade requirements.

8.2 Existing On-Site Utility Infrastructure There is limited gas reticulation located within the Jindabyne study area, those identified are: • DN32 nylon LPG gas main underneath Adams Avenue; • DN50 nylon LPG gas main underneath Rainbow Drive connecting to an LPG tank located South of McGregor Place; and • Origin LPG tank located on Rainbow Drive shown in Figure 19.

D R A F T

Figure 19 Origin LPG Tank connected to gas mains on Rainbow Road (Google, 2019) The existing services are shown below in Figure 20. The exact depths and positions of the existing reticulation mains have not been confirmed and further investigations will likely be required to determine the extent of diversions or amplifications required.

8.3 Preliminary Infrastructure Assessment Limited information on the capacity of the gas network has been made available. Additional investigation will be required to determine if gas mains have spare capacity and if reticulation lines require upgrades to service future developments. Furthermore, it is expected that a centralised gas network is unfeasible for future developments within the Jindabyne study area. It is expected that on-site LPG gas will continue to be used for dwellings particularly in East Jindabyne. No projected gas demand analysis has been performed as it is typically applied to a centralised network.

9.0 Data and Communications

9.1 Background Several communication providers have assets around the Jindabyne study area. Due to the scale of development expected on the site, it is expected that the new telecommunications servicing will be provided by the National Broadband Network (NBN).

9.2 Existing On-Site Utility Infrastructure There are substantial data and communications infrastructure present throughout the study area. The National Broadband Network (NBN) is currently upgrading the existing fixed phone and internet network infrastructure in several parts of the study area. A combination of fixed line and fixed wireless currently services the study area as delineated by the NBN rollout map in Figure 21 and Figure 22.

Figure 21: NBN Rollout Map (NBN, 2019) Underground Telstra services are located in the main town surrounding Lake Jindabyne and connecting Barry Way road as illustrated in Figure 22. The town is generally well serviced by the Telstra 4G and 3G network and no plans for a wider Telstra 5G rollout within the study area have been proposed as of 2019. In areas with existing Telstra infrastructure, it will be necessary to confirm whether it is most appropriate to continue using existing infrastructure or NBN infrastructure. Agreements are in place to enable NBN Co. to utilise existing Telstra infrastructure.

9.3 Preliminary Infrastructure Assessment Initial feedback from the community indicated that the NBN network coverage was limited overall particularly during peak periods. To improve data and communication connection coverage, there may be opportunity to utilise new 5G technologies and roll out of a public WiFi network throughout the Jindabyne study area. Public WiFi networks play an important role in the mix of communication services as it relieves congestion on the cellular network, provides for segments of the population lacking in mobile connectivity such as tourists as well as being a crucial tool for gathering metadata to inform urban infrastructure and service planning (McShane & Wilson, 2017). There is significant potential for SMRC to harness public WiFi for more effective urban governance which should be considered in future data and communications infrastructure planning.

10.0 Decentralised Systems Due to servicing constraints resulting from the steep topography, geographical remoteness and inclement weather experienced within the study area, adoption of standard reticulation mains networks to service future infill urban developments may not be feasible. This situation presents opportunity for decentralised networks to reduce reliance on mains consumption and safeguard services supply. These can be achieved through potential alternatives including but not limited to: • Recycled Water; • Rainwater capture and greywater reuse; • On-site sewerage treatment; • Trigeneration; and • Microgrids Adoption of these alternatives may form part of a broader sustainability strategy.

11.0 Conclusion and Recommendations

11.1 Conclusion A number of utilities constraints affect the Jindabyne study area including: • Lake Jindabyne is an unprotected water source and has potential high risk to drinking water quality; • Drinking water quality issues across a number of Water Supply Systems; • Uncertainty of population numbers and peak population impacting SRSC’s ability to determine appropriate estimates of future water supply and sewerage demand; • Insufficient Water Extraction Licence water allocation to supply Jindabyne township annual demand by 2018 and previous exceedances of water extraction licences; • Issues with demonstrating environmental and health protection at Sewer Treatment Plants; • There are substantial supply constraints regarding the potable water network, particularly regarding the amount of water that can be taken from Lake Jindabyne; • Most areas are serviced by existing pump stations and sewage treatment plants however a number of these plants require capital works to continue the current supply and upgrades are likely required to accommodate any large population increases; • The area is well serviced by electrical assets however reliability may be an issue due to the topography and due to inclement weather; • Gas appears to be available but information regarding supply is limited; and • NBN is available and initial investigations appear to show that it could support future growth.

Opportunities and needs to support the precinct include: • The urban localities within the study area are currently well serviced by utilities; • Based on the Essential Energy Asset Management Distribution Annual Planning Report, 2018, there are no identified system limitations in the Cooma Supply Area up to 2023; • Trunk services may have excess capacity to services the initial phases of the new development, however local amplifications are likely; and • Adoption of decentralised systems to adapt to site constraints. Future work that is required to enable detailed development applications includes: • Further coordination with utility authorities to confirm lead-in infrastructure requirements and routes; • Potential hydraulic modelling to confirm potable and wastewater lead-in infrastructure upgrades; and • Further assessment of ESD options to take forward into detailed design to confirm the effects on utility supply and lead-in infrastructure requirements and routes.

11.2 Recommendations To ensure current capacity issues are addressed and to meet future growth demands in the study area, the following items have been identified as potential infrastructure upgrades: Potable Water • Upgrade works for Jindabyne Intake WPS (JIWPS); • Upgrade East Jindabyne Kunama Reservoir (KR) and East Jindabyne Reservoir (EJBWPS); • Upgrade Jindabyne High Zone (HZR), Low Zone (LZR) Barry Way (BWR) and High Country (HCR) reservoirs; • Upgrade East Jindabyne Water Pumping Station (EJBWPS); • Upgrade Jindabyne Low Zone (LZR), High Zone (HZR) and High Country (HCWPS) water pumping stations; • Construction of new potable water mains in growth areas to service new developments in Jindabyne, East Jindabyne and South of Jindabyne; and • Renewal of the water extraction license as required to meet growth in development. Key water ESD initiatives recommended for further investigation as part of detailed design include: o Rainwater harvesting; and o Recycled water. Wastewater • Upgrade of SPS’s that are expected to be capacity constrained including: o Kalkite Street SPS2A (JSPS 2A); o Kosciuszko Road SPS4 (JSPS4); o Station Resort SPS5 (JSPS5); o Leesville SPS6 (JSPS6); o Siesta Villa SPS3 (EJSPS3); o Jerrara Drive SPS4 (EJSPS4); and o Kunama Drive SPS5 (EJSPS5). • Construction of new sewer mains in Jindabyne, East Jindabyne and South of Jindabyne growth areas; Key wastewater ESD initiatives recommended for further investigation as part of detailed design include: o Expansion of existing recycled water network for irrigation of sports fields, golf courses and park land; and o Grey water re-use strategies. Electrical • New 11kV feeder routes to support the proposed new developments; and • New Kiosk substations to service new development. Key electrical ESD initiatives recommended for further investigation as part of detailed design include; o Community solar schemes combined with battery storage; o Localised microgrids; o Building orientation;

D R A F T

o Electric car charging; o Centralised heat extraction system; o Geothermal heating; o Smart metering; or o Glazing options to improve thermal comfort and reduce heating and cooling loads. Data and Communications • Improvements to data and communication connection coverage through 5G technologies and roll out of a public WiFi network. It is noted that this report is a high-level utility servicing strategy and further investigation work is recommended to adequately define the exact scope and design of utility upgrades. In particular an update of the Integrated Water Cycle Management Plan based on the final master plan yields and proposed visitor numbers to ensure there is adequate infrastructure to support the outcomes of the master plan.
