               21.    Pathways must:
                      a.      terminate in a manner that ensures smooth transition to existing surfaces for public

                              streetlights or other signage. The developer is responsible for any necessary relocation
                              of existing services to provide this clearance and must contact the relevant service
                              authorities and comply with their requirements in relation to these works.
                      Earthworks and Retaining Walls

                      on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development, with geotechnical testing
                      undertaken in accordance with the guidelines. A certificate must be provided by a RPEQ and
                      submitted to Council prior to the commencement of the use.
               26.    Fall protection must be provided to retaining walls that are over 1m high.
               27.    Slope and batters are a maximum grade of:

                      b.      1 in 4 for grassed areas.
                      c.      1 in 3 for planted areas.
                      d.      1 in 2 for combined structural engineering and planting solutions.
                      Stormwater Drainage
               28.    Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including
                      temporary outlets.
