Where the scour protection extends beyond 750mm:
Prior to driving piles, the rocks are to be removed to expose the geotextile and the geotextile cut neatly to allow it to be turned back. During pile driving, care is to be taken to ensure the geotextile is not damaged.

6.	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
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.
The approval or conditions do not absolve the owner of the land from complying with all the conditions of this approval and/or relevant Council By-Laws and Policies and/or relevant statues and/or statutory regulations in the execution and/or performance of said works.
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 Sustainable Planning Act 2009 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this application along with the appropriate fees.
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.
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 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 Co-ordination Unit on 07 3239 3647 to discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.
