Decision Notice MCU25 0096 & OPW25 0146 (As Published)

                             (ii)      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.
                                     (i)      If at the time of request for plan sealing, 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:
                                    (ii)      evidence that the site has been effectively stabilised in the short term;
                                    (iii)     evidence that soil has been adequately ameliorated;
                                    (iv)      evidence that seed of annual and perennial grass species has been applied
                                              at an adequate rate; and
                                    (v)       that grass seed has germinated at a density that is likely to achieve an
                                              effective grass cover.
                      For example, while hydromulch can provide an immediate and effective stabilising cover to
                      soils, the protective cover can be relatively short-lived if vegetation fails to establish before
                      the thin layer of mulch decomposes. So if hydromulch is selected as the method of temporary
                      short term stabilisation, Council Officers will seek to confirm that perennial as well as annual
                      grasses are well established at the time of plan sealing to reduce the risk of instability of the
                      site in the medium to long term. As a general rule, hydromulch will only be accepted as a
                      “patch” fix and should comprise no more than 20% of the exposed site area due to the high
                      risk of failure. Due to the requirement to progressively stabilise exposed areas, it is not
                      envisioned that this will present any difficulties for an appropriately managed and compliant
                      site.
                      Road Reserve Permit
               22.    This development permit provides the applicant with written authority to undertake the
                      prescribed works. Any additional activities that are undertaken inside Council’s road reserve
                      for the purpose of acting on this development permit may require a Road Reserve Permit.
                      These additional activities may include, but are not limited to, hoarding, pedestrian
                      diversions, laneway closures, etc. To apply for a Road Reserve Permit, or for more
                      information, Contact Council’s Road Reserve Officer at [email protected] Act 2014 – Fire Ant Control
               23.    Developers must remain vigilant for the presence of fire ants. Under the Biosecurity Act 2014,
                      individuals and businesses are responsible for ensuring that they follow the movement
                      controls for specific organic materials to help prevent the spread of fire ants within South
                      East Queensland’s fire ant biosecurity zones. Movement of a fire ant carrier from within a fire
                      ant biosecurity zone may need a biosecurity instrument permit. More information is available
                      on https://www.fireants.org.au/treat/business-andindustry/movement-controls
