               6.     ADVISORY NOTES

               The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part
               of the assessment manager conditions:
                      General Advisory Notes
               1.     Council has undertaken an audit check of the Operational Works drawings in relations to the
                      proposed works. A detailed check of the calculations and drawings has not been undertaken,
                      as they have been certified by a RPEQ. The RPEQ bears full responsibility for all aspects of
                      the engineering design. Council reserves the right to require further amendments and/or
                      additions at a later date should design errors become apparent.
               2.     Council reserves the right to call up any performance bond held or levy charges against the
                      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.
               3.     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.
                      Environmental Advisory Notes
               4.     The Environmental Protection Act 1994 states that a person must not carry out any activity
                      that causes, or is likely to cause, environmental harm unless the person takes all reasonable
                      and practicable measures to prevent or minimise the harm. Environmental harm includes
                      environmental nuisance. In this regard persons and entities, involved in the civil, earthworks,
                      construction and landscaping phases of this development are to adhere to their ‘general
                      environmental duty’ to minimise the risk of causing environmental harm.
                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               5.     Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
                      Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control.
               6.     Qualified Person, for the purpose of erosion and sediment control is a Certified Professional
                      in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) or suitably experienced Registered Professional
                      Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).
               7.     As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if
                      at the time of the plan sealing inspection:
                      a.      Methods of stabilisation are:
                              •    appropriate for slopes and slope lengths; and


                                                                                                        Page 8 of 9
