Attachment A - Approved Decision Notice MCU210027
9. If Council officers are required to undertake additional inspections of the same works, a
reinspection fee will be applicable in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges register
applicable at the time.
10. A minimum maintenance period of 12 months will apply to all municipal works and thereafter
until such time as the works are performing in accordance with the approved design unless
noted otherwise
Environmental Advisory Notes
11. 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
12. Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control
13. 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).
14. As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if
at the time of the On-Maintenance inspection:
a. Methods of stabilisation are:
appropriate for slopes and slope lengths; and
are consistent with best practice environmental management practices such as
in the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control or the IECA Manual; and
b. Stormwater runoff from the site is not currently, and is not likely to result in visible
evidence of sedimentation or erosion, or lead to water contamination.
If at the time of request for the On-Maintenance inspection, the method of short-term
stabilisation has not achieved a level of stability that Council's Officers believe will have
a high probability of achieving long term stability (i.e. until house construction has
occurred on all lots), Council Officers may take the following matters into consideration
in determining whether the site is capable of achieving medium to long-term stability:
evidence that the site has been effectively stabilised in the short term;
evidence that soil has been adequately ameliorated;
evidence that seed of annual and perennial grass species has been applied at
an adequate rate; and
that grass seed has germinated at a density that is likely to achieve an effective
grass cover.
