                        Engineering Design
                 1.     Council has undertaken a general audit check of the engineering design 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.
                        Environmental Advisory Notes
                 2.     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.
                        Erosion and Sediment Control
                 3.     If appropriate ESC 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.
                 4.     Accepted best practice standards include:
                        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)
                 5.     As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation
                        if at the time of the plan sealing inspection:
                        a.      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
                        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.
                 6. FURTHER DEVELOPMENT PERMITS REQUIRED

                 7. REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT REFERRAL AGENCY RESPONSE

                 The applicant may make representations to Council about this referral agency response at

                 Assessment Rules.
