                                                                                                          OPW15/0172


                              a.       the Sunshine Coast Regional Council Manual for Erosion and Sediment
                                       Control V1.2 or other superseding document subsequently adopted by
                                       Council;
                              b.       Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control, International Erosion Control
                                       Association (2008)
                      9.      As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term
                              stabilisation if at the time of the completion of the works:
                              a.       Methods of stabilisation are:
                                         i.    appropriate for slopes and slope lengths; and
                                         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.
                                       If at the time of the completion of the works, 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:
                                         i.    evidence that the site has been effectively stabilised in the short term;
                                         ii.   evidence that soil has been adequately ameliorated;
                                        iii.   evidence that seed of annual and perennial grass species has been
                                               applied at an adequate rate; and
                                        iv.    that grass seed has germinated at a density that is likely to achieve
                                               an effective grass cover.
                              Landscaping
                      10.     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.


                              Retention of Existing Trees
                      11.     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.
