Information Response

Response
The attached long-section (refer Attachment 1) has been derived from levels from Council’s mapping
and shows that the new driveway has reasonable longitudinal grades ranging from 7% to 13.6% and
will therefore function satisfactorily. Cross-sections can only be provided properly when accurate
levels are obtained from a site survey. Due to relatively minor nature of the driveway works it is not
unreasonable to assume that RPEQ designed driveway and erosion and sediment control will meet all
Council’s Engineering design standards. At this stage of the application process, it is recommended
that conditions of approval requiring RPEQ driveway design and erosion and sediment control
measures could reasonably be applied.

5.    Provide a detailed Erosion and Sediment Control Management Plan, prepared by a
      CPESC or RPEQ, which includes information on, but not limited to:

      5.1. Layout of proposed controls during construction;
      5.2. How “dirty” water will be managed;
      5.3. How “clean” water will be diverted from the destabilised area;
      5.4. How the works will be stabilised immediately after being completed;
      5.5. How areas that are not part of the final cut/fill pad but will be disturbed as part of the works
          (access tracks, manoeuvring areas, etc.) will be stabilised in the short and long term;
      5.6. Maintenance regime of the proposed controls;
      5.7. Where the topsoil will be stockpiled and how it will be stabilised.

Response
As per response to 4. above. Due to relatively minor nature of the driveway works it is not
unreasonable to assume that RPEQ designed driveway and erosion and sediment control will meet all
Council’s Engineering design standards. At this stage of the application process, it is recommended
that conditions of approval requiring RPEQ driveway design and erosion and sediment control
measures could reasonably be applied.


6.    Provide CPESC or RPEQ certification that all proposed E&S controls have been sized in
      accordance with relevant standards and legislation, and suitable contingency measures will be
      available onsite, or able to be deployed to site prior to being required.

Response
As per responses 4 and 5 above. It is appropriate for Council to condition the approval to require
RPEQ certification be submitted prior to a Development Permit for Buildings Works being issued.


Part 3: Information Request has now concluded and the application is now in Part 5: Decision.

Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.

Yours faithfully
