                                                                                    2003/221132

      24.5. flammable structures and landscaping materials, such as timber fences, timber
            pergolas, timber decks and timber sleeper walls, are prohibited;
      24.6. non-flammable structures such as paved areas and swimming pools are permitted.
      Maintenance Track in the Public Open Space Area
25.   A 3 m wide maintenance track/fire trail, for the use of Council’s maintenance vehicles and
      emergency vehicles, is to be provided within the Public Open Space area adjacent to the
      northern boundary of Lots 1 – 17 and 24. It will be on the alignment indicated on the Survey
      Plan dated 612-66 by PMM, and will be included as an easement or included in the Public
      Open space. If included in the open space, the 10 metre fire buffer will measured from the
      original Plan of Development Boundaries of the Lots.
26.   Significant trees and groups of trees are to be retained. The trees and groups of trees to be
      retained will be determined by Council’s Manager – Environmental Services. All shrubs and
      woody understorey plants shall be removed. Existing grasses, sedges and small herbaceous
      plants (less than 300 mm in height) will be retained.
27.   Locked gates will be provided at either end of this maintenance track. This track is not part of
      the public pedestrian pathway and public access will be prohibited. Signs prohibiting public
      access shall be provided at both ends of the maintenance track.
28.   The maintenance track and locked gates shall not be located within 10 m of the scar tree.
29.   Prior to the dedication of the Public Open Space to Council, the developer shall maintain the
      maintenance track.
      Fire Fuel Reduction
      Public Open Space post-dedication to Council
30.   After dedication of the Public Open Space to Council, fire fuel loads in each of the four Fire
      Management Blocks will be assessed annually. In the Fire Management Blocks where fuel
      loads exceed 10 tonnes/ha in more than 4 assessment plots, fuel reduction will be undertaken
      manually using hand tools. A prescribed burn within a Fire Management Block will only be
      undertaken if Council’s Manager – Environmental Services deems it necessary to maintain the
      ecological values of the vegetation. The applicant will undertake this procedure for a period of
      three (3) years after the registration of the final stage of the development.
      Private Open Space in Conservation Residential Precincts
31.   The fire fuel loads in the Private Open Space areas of the three Conservation Residential
      Precincts will be assessed annually. If the fire fuel load in a Private Open Space area
      exceeds 10 tonnes/ha in more than 3 assessment plots, fuel reduction will be undertaken
      manually using hand tools.
32.   Prescribed burns will not be permitted, unless the Council’s Manager – Environmental
      Services agrees, in writing, that a prescribed burn is necessary to maintain the ecological
      values of the vegetation. Written applications requesting permission to undertake a prescribed
      burn must include an ecological justification supported by ecological data.
      Undeveloped Stages
33.   Following completion of Stage A, fuel loads in the undeveloped Stages are to be assessed
      annually. When fuel loads exceed 10 tonnes per hectare in more than 4 assessment plots,
      the fuel load is to be reduced by either a low intensity prescribed burn (provided that adequate
      firebreaks are constructed adjacent to all Public and Private Open Space areas, the school
      and the Stage A residential areas) or by the physical removal of the fuel load by hand or
      machine).
      Fire Hydrants and Water Points
34.   Fire hydrants shall be provided throughout the development in accordance with the Building
      Code (BCA) and the requirements of the Q.F.R.S.
