               39.    A vegetation protection covenant must be registered against the title/s of the property over
                      the area identified as the 1.8ha Proposed Offset Planting Area as shown on the Approved
                      Plans pursuant to Section 97A of the Land Title Act 1994. The covenant document and a
                      survey plan must be submitted to Council for endorsement prior to lodgement with the
                      relevant titles authority for registration of title. The covenant document must:
                      a.      incorporate the requirements of this Decision Notice

                              Standard Terms Document No. 715597513.
               40.    The vegetation protection covenant document must be registered with the titles office before
                      the commencement of the use of the expanded Resource Recovery Area.
               ENGINEERING
                      Earthworks and Retaining Walls
               41.    All fill and associated batters must be contained entirely within the approved use area and
                      must be designed and certified by a suitably qualified person.
                      Acid Sulfate Soils
               42.    An Acid Sulfate Soils Investigation Report must be prepared to mitigate the risk of acid sulfate
                      soils on the adjacent bushland /wetland areas.
                      All requirements and recommendations of the Acid Sulfate Soils Investigation Report must
                      be certified by a suitably qualified person*.
                      *(Refer to Advisory Note)
               STORMWATER
               43.    Prior to the construction of the pad area for the expansion of the Resource Recovery Area
                      (RRA) and the relocation of the HES basin, provide an updated SWMP, which is based on
                      the Covey’s Stormwater Management Plan (M25-0042Rpt, Issue A) dated February 2025
                      and which addresses the following:
                      a.      Specify the final HES basin detail from the range of options presented in the report,
                              including consideration of whether a Type-B HES basin may present a lower-risk option
                              compared to the flap-gated arrangement proposed to prevent back-flows into the Type-
                              A arrangement as currently proposed;
                      b.      Include all details for the sizing and proposed levels of the HES basin within the body
                              of the report, based on recent detailed survey at the point of discharge and
                              downstream; and
                      c.      Include construction-phase erosion and sediment control plans which document how
                              the transition from the current HES basin location to the ultimate location (including
                              filling for the RRA pad) will be achieved.
               44.    All future building floor levels and waste management areas are to be provided with surface
                      levels which are a minimum of 300mm above the 1%AEP local flood level, including
                      allowance for climate change by year 2100.
               45.    Works are to be undertaken generally in accordance with Covey’s Flood Impact Assessment
                      (M25-0445Rpt, Issue A) dated February 2025. In conjunction with detailed design for the
                      project, the design of the fill pad and the Flood Assessment are to be updated to incorporate
                      a system for flow conveyance and distribution along the northern boundary of the fill pad
                      which achieves greater replication of existing flow patterns to the retained vegetation north
                      of the works. This is required in order to mitigate potential changes in wetness resulting from
                      frequent discharges or the risk of erosion during less frequent events.
