               10.    For the purpose of certifying that the design of the stormwater harvesting tanks is in
                      accordance with the requirements of this Decision Notice, a qualified person is considered

                      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:
                      a)      Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control, International Erosion Control Association
                                (2008)
               13.    As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if
                      at the completion of the works:
                      a)      Methods of stabilisation are:
                              i.       appropriate for slopes and slope lengths; and
                              ii.      are consistent with best practice environmental management practices such as
                                       in the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control or the IECA Manual;
                      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 the completion of the works, 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, Council Officers may take the following matters into
                           consideration in determining whether the site is capable of achieving medium to long-term
                           stability:
                      c)      Evidence that the site has been effectively stabilised in the short term;
                      d)      Evidence that soil has been adequately ameliorated;
                      e)      Evidence that seed of annual and perennial grass species has been applied at an
                              adequate rate; and
                      f)      That grass seed has germinated at a density that is likely to achieve an effective grass
