    The minimum excavation unit should be 1 metre by 1 metre. The excavated soil should be
    sieved through 6mm (minimum size) mesh sieves and when considered warranted Indigenous
    archaeological material encountered should be retained for analysis. If not retained for analysis,
    the material should be fully documented on site. When the excavation is completed all
    excavated material that is not retained should be redeposited back into the excavation unit.
51. On the areas of elevated terrain in the southern and central sections of the study area
    mechanical excavations should be undertaken. These excavations should be undertaken with a
    mechanical excavator such as a Toyota 3 Series Bobcat with rubber types and a 1250mm
    scoop. The excavation unit should be around one metre wide and a minimum of two metres
    long. The soil should be scrapped away in 5cm sections and the soil passed through 6mm
    (minimum size) mesh sieves. When considered warranted, Indigenous archaeological material
    encountered should be retained for analysis. If not retained for analysis, the material should be
    fully documented on site. When the excavation is completed all excavated material that is not
    retained should be redeposited back into the excavation unit.
52. The excavations should be undertaken by a qualified archaeologist under a permit (Permit to
    Excavate / Collect Items of the Queensland Estate) issued by the Environmental Protection
    Agency. The excavations should be undertaken with the approval and assistance of the Gubbi
    Gubbi and Undumbi People.
53. At the completion of the excavations, the results should be documented and significance
    assessment and management recommends for each Site and Location provided. A cultural
    heritage management plan should be formulated after the results of the excavations have been
    documented.
54. The recommendations provided by both the Gubbi Gubbi and Undumbi should be taken into
    consideration.

      the allotment (measured from the finished surface) and be no less than 3.0 metres wide.
       Where Council sewer mains coincide with internal road reserves, the road reserve is to be
       dedicated as a sewerage easement to provide maintenance access.

       Should the developer utilise private sewers inside individual allotments (ie not in Common
       Property), provision shall be made to facilitate maintenance access. In this regard a width
       equivalent to twice the depth to invert level of the private sewer at the deepest point within the
       allotment (measured from the finished surface) or a minimum of 2.0 metres shall be provided.
       Private easements that would alert all potential owners, shall be created over the maintenance
       access areas for all private sewers if used. Maintenance responsibilities and building set-back
       requirements for any private sewers shall also be clearly designated in the Body Corporate’s
       Community Management Scheme.

       In this regard, where private sewers are utilised, plans submitted for Operational Works
       approval shall be amended to accurately show the location of the Council easements and
       private easements.

       In addition to this, the Applicant’s solicitor shall give Council’s solicitor an appropriate
       undertaking in writing that the Title Deed and the easement documents will be lodged at the
       Land Titles Office and any additional Titles Office forms or requisitions requiring the consent of
       Council will be attended to promptly.

       A duly executed copy of the easements shall be submitted to Council for perusal prior to the
       use commencing. Any changes required by Council’s solicitor must be corrected immediately.
 157. No building or other structure including fountains, retaining walls, etc. (excluding fences) shall
      be constructed or encroach over a Council easement or private sewer access. Any building or
      structure within proximity of an easement, private sewer access, or any other public utility’s
      underground must have its foundations designed so that no surcharge loads are imposed
      upon such underground infrastructure. Foundations must be taken down a minimum of 1
      metre below a line of influence measured 1 metre in the direction of the foundation from the
      centreline of the closest underground service and along the natural angle of repose of the
      foundation soil type(s).
       Plans and supporting documents, detailing these proposed foundations shall be designed by a
       registered practising Geotechnical Engineer and submitted with the application for a
       Development Permit for Material Change of Use for the dwelling houses.

Headworks
 158. Contributions shall be paid to Council in accordance with Planning Scheme Policies PSP28
      and PSP30 on Water Supply Headworks Contributions and Sewerage Headworks
      Contributions respectively and at the rates applicable at the time of payment. An estimate only
      of the contribution rates as of September 2003 under the current policies is as follows:
         Water Supply       $4,076
         Sewerage           $1,441
         TOTAL              $5,517 per additional lot

       All headworks contributions must be paid prior to endorsement of the Plan of Survey for each
       stage.



                                                                                      Page 23 of 32

      Alternatively a trading bank guarantee shall be submitted to Council plus 20%. Should the
      headworks contributions not be paid at the due time, Council shall call upon the trading bank

     prospective purchasers of lots that have been filled that special foundations requirements will
