B The Defendants 2 Seqwater admits the allegations pleaded in paragraph 2 of the FASOC. 3 Seqwater admits the allegations pleaded in paragraph 3 of the FASOC. 4 Seqwater admits the allegations pleaded in paragraph 4 of the FASOC. C January 2011 Queensland Flood 5 In relation to paragraph 5 of the FASOC, Seqwater pleads that: (a) over the 28 days prior to 6 January 2011, rainfall in South East Queensland had been well above the average rainfall for that period; (b) the Brisbane River Basin has an area of approximately 14,000km2 (approximately half of which is located downstream of Wivenhoe Dam) and comprises the five main catchments of the: (i) Stanley River to Somerset Dam, which is approximately 1,320km2 (“Somerset Dam Catchment”); (ii) Upper Brisbane River to Wivenhoe Dam (excluding the Somerset Dam Catchment), which is approximately 5,650km2 (“Wivenhoe Dam Catchment”); (iii) Lockyer Creek to O’Reilly’s Weir, which is approximately 2,960km2 (“Lockyer Creek Catchment”); 7 (iv) Bremer River to Ipswich which includes the sub-catchments of Warrill Creek to Amberley and Purga Creek to Loamside, which is approximately 1,745km2 (“Bremer River Catchment”); and (v) Lower Brisbane River to the river mouth (residual area), which is approximately 1,855km2 (“Lower Brisbane River Catchment”); (c) the combined Somerset Dam Catchment and Wivenhoe Dam Catchment is approximately 6,990km2 (“Combined Dam Catchments”); (d) the Lockyer Creek Catchment, Bremer River Catchment and Lower Brisbane River Catchment, including smaller contributing tributaries, are all located downstream of Wivenhoe Dam (collectively, the “Downstream Catchments”), and have a combined catchment area of approximately 7,000km2; Particulars of (b)-(d) Seqwater, Brisbane River Flood Hydrology Models – Main Report, December 2013, Executive Summary, page 13 [SEQ.009.003.0359] (e) the rainfall which fell in the 28 day period prior to 6 January 2011 resulted in the Combined Dam Catchments and the Downstream Catchments becoming wet though not saturated because there had been periods of zero or low rainfall which meant that the catchments had some opportunity to dry out meaning that some initial Loss (as defined in paragraph 165 below) had been recovered; (f) in the period from 6 to 12 January 2011, further substantial rainfall fell across South East Queensland including over the Downstream Catchments and the Combined Dam Catchments; (g) the rainfall which fell in the period 6 to 12 January 2011, resulted in flooding of areas along the Bremer River and Lockyer Creek and along the Brisbane River downstream of Wivenhoe Dam; and (h) subject to the matters pleaded in (a) to (g) above, Seqwater otherwise admits the allegations pleaded in paragraph 5. D Group Members and Common Questions 6 In relation to paragraph 6 of the FASOC, Seqwater: (a) pleads that the pleading in paragraph 6 of the composition of the group of persons on whose behalf the proceedings have been commenced by the Plaintiff (“Group Members”) does not comply with section 157 of the Civil Procedure Act 2005 (NSW) (“CPA”) because not all of the Group Members have claims against any one or more of the Defendants, contrary to section 157(1)(a) of the CPA, since: 8 (i) the claims against the Defendants are pleaded to arise from loss or damage caused by the “Greater Flooding” defined in paragraph 346(b) of the FASOC; (ii) paragraph 6 identifies the Group Members by reference to, relevantly, the inundation of land by flood waters from the Brisbane River or the Bremer River (and their tributaries); (iii) the scope of the inundation pleaded in paragraph 6 is broader than, and in addition, or in the alternative, does not correlate to, the Greater Flooding pleaded in paragraph 346(b); and (iv) therefore, not all Group Members may have claims against any one or more of the Defendants because a Group Member may have been inundated as pleaded in paragraph 6 but not have suffered loss or damage caused by the Greater Flooding pleaded in paragraph 346(b); (b) does not admit that the Plaintiff is an appropriate representative of the Group Members for the purposes of section 157 of the CPA because Seqwater cannot admit, as it does not know, that the Plaintiff suffered loss or damage either from inundation of land by flood waters from the Brisbane River or the Bremer River (and their tributaries) as pleaded in paragraph 6 or from the Greater Flooding pleaded in paragraph 346(a); and (c) otherwise does not admit, as it does not know, the allegations pleaded in paragraph 6.

  • Wivenhoe Power Station Noise Control
    Wivenhoe Power Station Noise Control PROJECT: Wivenhoe Power Station INDUSTRY TYPE: Power Generation CLIENT: CS Energy LOCATION: Wivenhoe Initial project requirements: Wivenhoe Power Station, operated by CS Energy, is a hydropower generating system. Wivenhoe is approximately 50 km west of Brisbane and is the only pumped hydroelectric storage plant in Queensland. Not only is the power station the only pumped storage hydroelectric plant in Queensland, but it also has two of the largest hydro machines in Australia – 285 MW generators. The power station cycles water between Splityard Creek Dam and Wivenhoe Dam. The power station turbine room generates high noise levels, creating an uncomfortable working environment for the adjacent offices. Flexshield solution: Flexshield has an existing working relationship with CS Energy, having also worked with CS Energy at Kogan Creek Power Station. The Flexshield Group has a long experience working on Power Station noise control solutions across Australia - the full list is at the end of the case study. For our current project with CS Energy, our AcousTech senior acoustic project engineer visited the site to conduct an acoustic assessment and design the solution. The solution included treating the existing office with high-density V100 Sonic System modular acoustic panel facing the perforations into the room. We also replaced the current non-acoustic cold room doors with Flexshield high- performance Sonic Access Rw46 acoustic doors. Noise levels were further reduced by adding Calando Nude White panels to the ceiling. We sourced the Calando Panel from our Commercial Acoustics Company – Avenue Interior Systems. The solution Flexshield provided made a more comfortable working environment - allowing workers to communicate better and improve the number of sick days due to noise fatigue.
