Stormwater Drainage
Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including temporary outlets.
Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage conditions on other properties (eg by blocking or interfering with natural overland flows).
Construction of all internal stormwater drainage works must comply with the relevant section/s of Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.3.
Prior to the completion of the development, 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 (refer to E&SC Advisory Notes). 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.

Erosion and Sediment Control
Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental Protection Regulation 2019) 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. These measures must be designed, implemented and maintained in accordance with “Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control” published by the International Erosion Control Association (Australasian Chapter) (IECA, 2008), to the extent that such measures and practices are also consistent with the following:
Minimise Erosion
For areas of the site which drain to a sediment basin, implement drainage and erosion control measures prior to rainfall which prevent or minimise rill erosion and gully erosion
For areas of the site which do not drain to a sediment basin, implement drainage and erosion control measures prior to rainfall (including contingency measures) which prevent or minimise erosion, including rain drop erosion, chemical erosion, rill erosion and gully erosion
Prior to the commencement of the 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.
Manage concentrated stormwater flows
Prior to each rainfall event ensure concentrated stormwater flow paths are provided with capacity in accordance with IECA (2008) Table 4.3.1 and are structurally stable in all rainfall events for the following sources:
(a)		From stormwater catchments upslope of the area of disturbance which are either stable or external to the site, ensure stormwater is diverted or managed either:
around the site or through the site without causing erosion and without contaminating the flow; or
if it is impractical to convey the flows around or through the site, convey the flows into appropriately sized sediment basins without causing erosion
(b)	From all disturbed areas of the site to site controls without causing erosion
Minimise sediment released from the site
Install and maintain sediment barriers for each disturbed catchment area of the site and including undisturbed catchments which cannot be diverted, such that during discharge from the primary outlet system, the concentration of total suspended solids (“TSS”) discharged does not exceed 50mg/L and that pH is within the range of 6.5-8.5 unless entering a naturally acidic environment.
Install and maintain additional sediment control measures within the site, as necessary to maximise sediment capture.
Minimise the tracking of dirt from the site onto roadways. Ensure that all dirt on roadways caused by vehicles leaving the site is removed without causing water contamination, prior to rainfall and at least at the end of each work day.
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.
Drainage paths must be regularly inspected to ensure the sediment fences/measures are not being bypassed as a result of sediment build up. Sediment laden runoff must be prevented from leaving the subject site and entering neighbouring properties and/or stormwater systems.
Soil exposure must be limited on the site to a distance of no more than 2m beyond the extent of works shown on the approved plans except where the exposed soil is effectively stabilised without delay and prior to rainfall occurring.
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)

Advisory notes
The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part of the assessment manager conditions:
General Advisory Notes
As the driveways and stormwater are private structures, the owner bears full responsibly for the standard of their construction, maintenance and any liabilities associated with their construction. It is recommended that professional advice be sought for the construction of the works to ensure that the works are constructed in accordance with the relevant standards.
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 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5 business days’ notice of preferred inspection time.
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.
Retention of Existing Trees
The existing trees on adjoining properties must be retained and protected during construction wherever achievable. To avoid doubt, this advisory note is not intended to exclude the operation of Chapter 3 of the Neighbourhood Dispute Resolution Act 2011 following construction of the development which is the subject of this development approval.
Removal of Existing Trees and Vegetation
Stockpiling mulch to the appropriate volume and separation is required for fire mitigation as well as optimum weed seed sterilisation.
Erosion and Sediment Control
Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control
Qualified Person, for the purpose of erosion and sediment control is a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) or suitably experienced Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).
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 for 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
Qualified Person
Qualified Person, for the purpose of:
Supervising landscape works and preparing a landscape certification, is considered to be a landscape architect, landscape designer or horticulturist with a minimum of three years current experience in the field of landscape design.
Undertaking, supervising tree works and preparing arboriculture certification, is considered to be a person with a minimum three years current experience in tree protection, hazard identification/mitigation and Specifying Trees – a guide to assessment of tree quality (NATSPEC) assessment and either:
International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certification; or
A Diploma of Arboriculture.

Landscape Works
The applicant must pay the re-inspection fee in accordance with Council's Fees and Charges Register where:
An inspection revealed that any constructed rehabilitation/landscape works do not comply with the conditions of the Decision Notice, Approved Plans and or Approved Documents
Certification is submitted to Council falsely stating that works comply with the approved plans, documents and or conditions of the Decision Notice.

Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or obtain approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACH Act).
The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: “A person who carries out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage”. It is an offence to fail to comply with the duty of care. Substantial monetary penalties may apply to individuals or corporations breaching this duty of care. Injunctions may also be issued by the Land and Resources Tribunal, and the Minister administering the ACH Act can also issue stop orders for an activity that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural heritage or the cultural heritage value of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
You should contact the Cultural Heritage Unit to discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.
