Erosion & Sediment Control
All necessary erosion and sediment control measures must be provided and established prior to the demolition works being carried out on the site.
All reasonable measure must be provided and established prior to commencement of earthworks to prevent entrainment and export of sediments into the existing downstream stormwater system.
Where required construction hold point/s with a council delegate and supervising RPEQ must be discussed at the prestart meeting and established prior to commencement of earthworks for the development. The hold point must be held as soon as reasonably practical and prior to the first rain event forecast following initial tree clearing or removal of soil stabilising material. At the hold point/s inspection, all required sediment basins, drains and/or bunds to divert waters away from disturbed soil or soils about to become exposed through cut to fill activities must be installed.
Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 9 of Environmental Protection Regulation 2008) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination.
Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If such measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the spot” fines may be issued. Such fines can be issued if sediments from the site are found to enter or have the potential to enter Council’s stormwater system, natural waterways, any downstream stormwater filtration system or adversely impacting on other properties.  The sediment and erosion control design and measures have NOT been approved, it is the site's Supervising Engineer who is responsible for ensuring that the sediment and erosion control measures have:
Been duly designed by an RPEQ or CPESC and constructed in accordance with "best practise" methods,
Been revised by an RPEQ or CPESC to address the issues raised by changes in the projected construction schedule and/or methods,
Been revised to address predicted rainfall events, and
Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be found inefficient.
The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current best practice standards * (Refer to Advisory Note).
The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and prior to rainfall occurring.
The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles and/or machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and sediment control measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including vehicle shakedown pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where sediments or other contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s drainage system or waterways.
A log book for the Erosion and Sediment Control measures and inspections must be maintained by the site manager and made readily available to Council when requested. The supervising engineer must verify and endorsed the E&SC measures upon their installation, and periodically check these measures and the log book during construction and the stabilisation stages. Any defects in erosion and sediment control devices, such as sediment fences, are to be inspected and documented. Upon Inspection, the contractor is to determine whether the device should be replaced or repaired. Documentation is to include how the damage was caused and what measures can be implemented to reduce the possibility of repeat occurrences. Any damage to either permanent or temporary water quality control structures or devices is to be immediately rectified at the contractor’s expense.
The effectiveness of the erosion and sediment control devices must be monitored. All ESC measures are to be inspected:
at least daily (when work is occurring on site) or weekly (when work is not occurring on site); or
within 24 hours of expected rain; or
within 18 hours of a rainfall event (i.e. an event of sufficient intensity and duration to mobilise sediment on site).
Prior to the completion of the development and commencement of use, all site surfaces must be effectively stabilised using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation and which will continue to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium to long-term. For the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that does not, or is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion or lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination.
Landscaping
The development site must be landscaped.  The works must be undertaken in accordance with the approved plans and Noosa Plan 2020 Planning Scheme Policy PSP2 Landscaping for the Tewantin area.
Existing vegetation in the road reserve must be retained, unless written authorisation from Council is granted for the clearing.
Trees to be retained must be protected from clearing or construction activities by:
clearly marking vegetation to be retained with flagging tape
installing protective fencing around the drip line of the vegetation
restricting stockpiling, storage and vehicle parking to those areas which are already cleared
using low impact construction techniques around vegetation.
A minimum of 7 street trees (in total) are to be provided along the Toolar and Moorindil Street frontages. The location of the street trees within the road reserve is to be confirmed in consultation with Council at the pre-start meeting. Street trees are to be of a species that does not impact on services or Council infrastructure.
All landscape works must be established and maintained in accordance with the approved design for the life of the development, and in a manner that ensures healthy, sustained and vigorous plant growth.  All plant material must be allowed to grow to full form and be refurbished when its life expectancy is reached.
The finished level of all mulch in garden beds and landscaped medians is to be a minimum of 50mm below the level of the adjacent top of kerb. All landscaping is to be constructed in accordance with Council’s Planning Scheme Policy PSP03 Landscaping Plants and Guidelines.
Suitable root barriers must be installed where proposed trees are adjacent to paths, pavement etc in accordance with Council’s Planning Scheme Policy PSP03 Landscaping Plants and Guidelines.
FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION
Certification
Upon completion of the work a certificate must be issued by an RPEQ certifying that the works have been constructed in accordance with the Operational Works permit.
A final inspection and approval of the works and completed reinstatement works by Council’s Inspector is required.  Please contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange for the inspection.
Prior to commencement of use the following (prepared by respective qualified persons* and certifying compliance with approvals) must be submitted to Council:
Certification of Street Trees conforming to AS 2303:2018, Tree Stock Standard for Landscape Use, addressing each specimen
(* Refer to Advisory Note)
As Constructed Plans
Prior to acceptance of civil works to become Council assets “On Maintenance”, satisfactory “As-Constructed” records must be submitted to Council. The bundle of “As Constructed” information must generally include:
As-Constructed Engineering Drawings. Data is to be submitted in an electronic drawing file format (.dwg), with all plans clearly endorsed “As-Constructed”, along with the accompanying hardcopies (PDFs of the As-Constructed .dwg drawing files), and;
ADAC XML Digital File. ADAC File format (ADAC - Asset Design As Constructed) prepared in accordance with industry standards and recorded in “MGA - UTM56 / GDA94” projection.
Please Note: Further information and advice relating to the as-constructed drawing presentation, as-constructed survey capture and associated guidelines for preparation of a compliant ADAC XML digital file are available on the webpage titled “As-Constructed Guidelines” and accessible at the Noosa Council Website: Planning & Development / Development Tools & Guidelines / As-Constructed Guidelines.
The “As-Constructed” drawings will require certification by a:
Qualified experienced Civil Engineer (RPEQ) confirming design intent and conformance with applicable standards and specifications, along with the relevant descriptions of assets, services and structures and;
Licensed Surveyor in regard to the cadastral and locational information, levels and applicable survey datum, where required.
The data must be in accordance with Council’s “Planning Scheme Policy 5 – Engineering Design Standards – Roads, Drainage and Earthworks”, and fully detail the levels for all engineering works including but not limited to the drainage network and structures, finished ground and pavement surface levels.
On Maintenance
All municipal works must be accepted ‘On Maintenance’ by Council in accordance with Council’s relevant Planning Scheme Policy. To achieve ‘On Maintenance’, the supervising RPEQ must submit to Council:
Certification that all works have been undertaken and completed in accordance with the requirements of this Permit.
As Constructed details in accordance with Council’s Planning Scheme Policy and the conditions of this permit.
Maintenance Bonds.
The developer is responsible for the maintenance of all development works which are to become Council assets (includes civil infrastructure, landscaping, open space areas, park improvements) for a minimum period of 12 months or as otherwise advised by Council. This period will commence from Council’s formal acceptance of the development “on maintenance”.
The developer must submit a Maintenance Bond to Council to ensure the above works are maintained during this period. The maintenance bond must be:
5% of the agreed value of the development obligations; or
$1500, whichever is the greater amount
Off Maintenance
Prior to requesting an Off Maintenance inspection the developer must provide a written request for the Off Maintenance inspection.
A re-inspection fee in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charge Register will be charged where:
A Council inspection reveals works do not comply with approval requirements.
Submitted certification wrongly states works comply with approval requirements
referral agencies
Not applicable.
Advisory notes
The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part of the assessment manager conditions:
COVID-19
This development approval has been issued during the COVID-19 applicable event declared under 275F of the Planning Act 2016.
The period for undertaking the approved development may be subject to a further extension of 6 months under section 275R of the Planning Act.
Infrastructure Charges
All developments and/or changes to existing developments may require payment of “Infrastructure Charges” (as applicable) in accordance with Council’s “Charges Resolution” made pursuant to the planning legislation and regulations current at the time of issue. For further information, please refer to https://www.noosa.qld.gov.au/planning-development/development-tools-guidelines/infrastructure-charges
Environmental Health
It is highly recommended that the person you engage to certify the installation of mechanical equipment is involved at the plan development stage so they can recommend where this equipment is best located. They can also advise about noise enclosures and can make other suggestions to avoid noise problems.  It is a lot more costly to try and deal with noise problems after everything is built.
Qualified Person
For the purpose of preparing a Geotechnical Report, supervising earthworks and for certifying geotechnical stability for the development, a qualified person is considered to be a person who:
is a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ); and
has a degree in civil engineering or engineering geology; and
has a minimum of 5 years experience in the field of geotechnical engineering or engineering geology.
Private Infrastructure
All private infrastructure for the development must be designed to meet the planning scheme requirements unless otherwise agreed by the relevant authority
General
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.
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.
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.
Prestart, On and Off Maintenance Inspections Request
Contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5 business days notice of preferred inspection time.
It should be noted prior to arranging a prestart meeting the Right of Appeal Period of 20 business days should have been passed or the applicant has confirmed by a letter or an email that he/she has accepted the conditions of Decision Notice and waived his/her appeal right.
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.
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
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
Accepted best practice standards include:
the Sunshine Coast Regional Council Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control V1.2 or other superseding document subsequently adopted by Council;
Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control, International Erosion Control Association (2008)
As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if at the time of the final inspection:
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
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 of the final 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, 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.
