Council’s stormwater system, natural waterways, any downstream stormwater filtration
system or adversely impacting on other properties.
20. The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the
extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather

21. The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining
properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles and/or
machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and sediment control
measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including vehicle shakedown
pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where sediments or other
contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s
drainage system or waterways.

require further amendments and/or additions at a later date should design errors become
apparent.

property, should emergency works be required to be undertaken by Council to make the site
safe due to inactivity on the development site for extended periods of time.
4. Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of
construction constraints, a “Request to change an existing approval” under the Planning Act
2016 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this
application along with the appropriate fees.
