                      Earthworks
               56.    All earthworks and associated batters/retaining walls must be contained entirely within the
                      subject site unless written permission from the respective landowner(s) is provided to
                      Council. All earthworks must be undertaken in accordance with the approved plans and the
                      provisions of Australian Standard AS3798: Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and
                      Residential Developments with geotechnical testing undertaken in accordance with the
                      Standard, and to a minimum of ‘Level 2’ supervision. Test results as required by AS 3798,
                      and a certificate of quality and uniformity of fill shall be provided by a RPEQ.

                      Stormwater Works
               57.    Stormwater drainage works must be provided generally in accordance with the approved
                      engineering plans and must comply in particular with following requirements:
                      a.      The use of gravity stormwater drainage.
                      b.      The finished surface levels of the site must be graded and shaped to ensure that all
                              surface runoff is collected and directed to the proposed drainage system and not
                              directed on to any adjoining property or adversely impacting on the development site.
                      c.      Adequate overland flowpath to convey stormwater runoff to ensure no adverse impact
                              on the proposed development or other adjoining site during major storm events (eg up
                              and including 1% AEP rainfall storm event).

                      Service Conduits under Existing Road
               58.    Where applicable, any electrical conduits and other services (including town water
                      connection) proposed to be installed under existing sealed/concrete roads (including shared
                      private roads), concrete pathways or concrete/sealed driveways must be installed by boring.
                      Trenching is not permitted, unless specifically approved by Council.

                      Certification and Final Inspection
               59.    Upon completion of the work and prior to the final inspection by Council, a certificate must
                      be issued by an RPEQ certifying that the works have been constructed in accordance with
                      the Operational Works permit, the relevant engineering standards and best engineering
                      practices.
               60.    A final inspection of all the completed operational works by Council’s Inspector is required.
                      Please contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange for the inspection.
                      Erosion & Sediment Control
               61.    A construction hold point with a council delegate and supervising RPEQ must be established
                      prior to commencement of cut to fill 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 for each stage. At the hold point inspection,
                      all required sediment basins, drains and bunds to divert waters away from disturbed soil or
                      soils about to become exposed through cut to fill activities must be installed. All areas that
                      will not require earthworks in the imminent cut to fill operation must be stabilised to prevent
                      entrainment of sediments into receiving waters.
               62.    Cut to fill earthworks must not commence until after the Supervising RPEQ has certified that
                      all installed erosion and sediment controls required by this approval are sized in accordance
                      with conditions of the approval and the written acceptance of the certification is provided to
                      the supervising RPEQ by Council officers.
               63.    Offsite run-off must be diverted around exposed soils on the site without entraining additional
                      sediments. Discharge from measures to divert the offsite water must not cause run-off
                      impacts to other properties. Measures installed to divert the upstream water must be
                      designed and certified by the supervising RPEQ and installed prior to commencement of bulk
                      earthworks.
