42.   As the site is proposed to be filled, appropriate stormwater drainage pipes shall be installed
      within the site to collect and discharge stormwater runoff from all adjoining properties to
      prevent additional ponding/flooding on these properties.
43.   To ensure that polluted run-off does not enter Council’s stormwater drainage system,
      stormwater run-off from the carparking areas and the private roads/driveways shall have the
      first flush (the first 12 mm of rainfall or hose-down) collected in a grease/oil arrestor/gross
      pollutant trap provided on site prior to being permitted to discharge into the lakes.
      All other clean stormwater, such as roof water, can be collected on site and discharged
      through a single underground drain line directly onto the golf course, bypassing the grease/oil
      arrestor/gross pollutant trap.

      To this end, a detailed maintenance plan shall be prepared for the proposed grease/oil
      arrestors/gross pollutant trap, which shall be submitted to the Council for approval prior to
      obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works.

      The approved maintenance plan shall be incorporated in the Community Management
      Scheme for the development and a copy of this shall be provided for Council’s records prior to
      commencement of the approved Use.

      A Development Permit for Building Works shall not be granted until a Development Permit for
      Operational Works has been issued in regard to the drainage scheme.
44.   All site stormwater drainage shall be by means of a gravity system.
45.   All stormwater drainage lines including inter-allotment drainage shall be inspected by closed
      circuit television (CCTV) prior to commencement of the approved Use.
      CCTV inspection will be carried out by Council's CCTV contractor and arranged by Council
      following satisfactory completion of construction works. The developer will be responsible for
      the full cost of CCTV inspection, including any additional inspection necessary following defect
      identification and rectification. This charge is payable prior to the issue of Operational Works
      approval and will be determined on the unit rate basis current at the time of approval.

Sewer Mains
46.   Prior to endorsement of the Plan of Survey for Stage 1, the new parcel shall be connected to
      Council’s existing sewerage reticulation systems and be constructed in accordance with
      Council’s standards and requirements at no cost to Council. This work may be covered by an
      uncompleted works bond at 150% of the value of the connection that can be in place for a
      duration agreed to by the Manager Land Development.
47.   Prior to endorsement of the Plan of Survey for Stage 2, the existing sewer main, rising main
      and effluent main that traverse the site shall be relocated generally in accordance with Tate
      Professional Engineers drawing No. C1732/07/J/P04 dated 19/11/07.
48.   Prior to endorsement of the Plan of Survey for Stage 2, if required the applicant shall upgrade
      any existing sewer services (including pumps or pump station) at no cost to Council.
49.   To ensure Council’s sewer main is accessible for maintenance purposes and is protected from
      risk of damage no structures requiring a building permit (eg. buildings, swimming pools,
      retaining walls exceeding 1m in height, raised terraces, etc) shall be constructed within this
      ‘zone of influence’ or within 1.5m of the centreline of the sewer main, whichever is the greater.
      As such the applicant shall amend Operational Works plans including Building plans to ensure
      compliance.

50.   Design for a sewerage system to connect all new lots within the site to Council's existing
      sewerage reticulation system shall be to the standards and requirements set out in Council’s
      Engineering Design Standards. If the design requires the construction of a pump station and a
      rising main, the connection point to Council's existing system will be nominated by the
      Manager - Land Development.
51.   All connections to sewer system shall be carried out either by Council or by a Council
      approved Contractor and at no cost to Council.
Town Water Supply
52.   The site shall be connected to Council’s existing town water supply and be constructed in
      accordance with Council’s standards and requirements at no cost to Council.
53.   Prior to endorsement of the Plan of Survey for Stage 1, the newly created parcel shall have a
      single water connection to the water reticulation system, which shall extend to the property
      boundary and be metered. This work may be covered by an uncompleted works bond at
      150% of the value of the connection that can be in place for a duration agreed to by the
      Manager Land Development.
54.   Prior to endorsement of the Plan of Survey for Stage 2. the development shall be served by:
         A single Body Corporate water meter to measure the total water consumption (including
          fire hose reels, but excluding fire hydrants and fire sprinkler systems), and
         Individual water meters to each tenement capable of being separately rated, and
         A fire service (fully testable single detector check with metered bypass), where applicable,
          for flows to fire hydrants and fire sprinkler systems (excluding fire hose reels).
55.   All fees for the supply of water meters shall be paid to the Council.
56.   All water meters must be located outside the property boundary and in an easily assessable
      location to facilitate unhindered reading by Council and/or Council’s contracted water meter
      readers, and not behind fences or locked gates. In this regard approval of the water meter
      configuration and location must be obtained from Council’s Water & Sewerage Capital Works
      Manager prior to lodgement and approval of hydraulic drawings.
57.   Fire hydrants are to be provided throughout the development in accordance with Council
      Engineering Design Standards and in accordance with Queensland Fire Service Standards.

Service Easements (Sewer / Stormwater)
59.   A registered easement shall be created over the zone of influence of all sewers within the
      subject site and over those parts of the subject site that are impacted upon by sewers on any
      adjoining sites. The easements shall generally be parallel to and centred over the sewer main
      and be equivalent in width to twice the depth to invert level of the sewer at the deepest point
      within the allotment (measured from the finished surface) and be no less than 3.0m wide
      overall. In this regard a licensed surveyor shall accurately locate all sewer mains and
      determine the necessary width of the easement, which shall be shown on any plans submitted
      for Operational Works / Building Works approval. To this extent the surveyor shall certify that
      the sewer and the zone of influence is wholly contained within the easement to be created.
      In addition to this the Applicant’s Solicitor shall give Council’s Solicitor an appropriate
      undertaking in writing that the Title Deed and the easement documents will be lodged at the
      Land Titles Office and any additional Titles Office forms or requisitions requiring the consent of
      Council will be attended to promptly.

      A duly executed copy of the easement shall be submitted to Council for perusal prior to the
      use commencing.

                                                                                      Page 8 of 24

      Any changes required by Council’s Solicitor must be corrected immediately.
60.   A registered easement shall be created over any stormwater drainage discharge points from
      the proposed Stages 1 or 2 to enable that Stage to discharge stormwater onto the golf course
      parcel. Easements shall also be created if required to allow Council’s road reserve and the
      golf course to discharge onto Stage 1 or 2.
61.   Registered easements are to be provided on the Plan of Survey over all sewerage mains
      within private property. Easements are to be equivalent in width to twice the depth to invert
      level of the sewer at the deepest point within the allotment. Easements are to be provided
      parallel to and centred over the sewer line, with a minimum width of 3.0 metres.
62.   No building or other structure shall be constructed or encroach over an easement.
63.   Any building or structure within proximity of an easement or any other public utility’s
      underground must have its foundations designed so that no surcharge loads are imposed
      upon such underground infrastructure. Foundations must be taken down a minimum of 1.0m
      below a line of influence measured 1.0m in the direction of the foundation from the centreline
      of the closest underground service and along the natural angle of repose of the foundation soil
      type(s).
      Plans, and supportive documents, detailing these proposed foundations shall be designed by
      a registered practicing Geotechnical Engineer and submitted with the application for a
      Development Permit for Operational Works.

Earthworks
64.   A registered practicing Geotechnical Engineer shall test the existing ground conditions for
      suitability of placing additional fill, prior to such fill being placed.
      Filling works shall be restricted to the subject site itself, and the finished fill levels are to taper
      to the existing levels prior to the rear boundary of the property. Batters shall be at a maximum
      grade of 1:4 unless retained by a wall.

      Any existing fill or natural materials on the site or with the extent of approved works external to
      the site which do not satisfy the Manager - Land Development's or a Geotechnical Engineer's
      requirements shall be removed and replaced with suitable material.
65.   Following completion of the filling works and prior to endorsement of the Plan of Survey for
      Stage 2, the registered practicing Geotechnical Engineer supervising the works shall submit
      compaction tests across the entire filled areas and a site classification report for each lot
      subject to filling. The extent of fill and each lot site classification shall be shown on a metes
      and bounds survey plan.
      An appropriate property notation shall be placed on Council's rates records to advise
      prospective purchasers of lots that have been filled that special foundations requirements will
      apply.

Acid Sulfate Soils
                                                                                                  3
66.   As the site is located below the 5m AHD, any excavation works consisting of 100m or greater
                                                   3
      and/or any filling works consisting of 500m or greater and with an average depth of 0.5m or
      greater will need to be carried out in accordance with State Planning Policy 2/02 Planning and
      Managing Development Involving Acid Sulfate Soils. In this regard appropriate testing and
      supporting documentation prepared by a suitably qualified specialist shall be submitted to
      Council for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works.
67.   As the subject site is likely to contain Acid Sulfate Soils, Council wishes to make the applicant
      aware of their obligations in terms of good environmental practice, which requires that Acid
      Sulfate Soils:-
         should not be removed from the site,
                                                                                           Page 9 of 24

Page 10

                                                                                       2007/2399



         should not be disturbed, if possible, and
         should be treated and neutralized on site where required.
      In the event that Acid Sulfate Soils are removed from site and forwarded for disposal at one of
      Council’s landfill sites, Council may:-
         refuse to accept such soil, or
         treat and neutralize the soil and charge such costs for soil testing and remediation to the
          applicant and or developer of the site.
Site Stability
68.   A Geotechnical Engineer or similar qualified expert shall assess the soil condition on site,
      determine the soil classification, establish whether any measures are required to protect the
      stability of adjoining buildings and/or structures and/or land, and make recommendations on
      the type of foundation system(s) best suited for the proposed development. The
      recommendations of this report shall be incorporated into the design and construction of the
      proposed development.
Erosion and Sediment Control
69.   Any person acting on this permit shall prevent erosion and sediment export from leaving the
      site. Site control measures such as silt fencing, controlled gravel access to the site and
      controlled disposal of waste, will be necessary.
      In this regard plans detailing the methods of controlling erosion and sediment are required to
      be submitted to the Council for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for
      Operational Works.

Vegetation Protection & Preservation
70.   All Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 pest plants declared under the Land Protection (Pest and
      Stock Route Management) Act 2002 are to be controlled on the site prior to Council
      endorsement of the plan of survey. In this context “controlled” shall mean, for class 1 and 2
      pests, completely eradicated. For class 3 pests it shall mean removal of the plants where they
      threaten environmentally significant areas of the site such as riparian zones and areas of
      natural vegetation. Where class 3 plants are removed as a result of this condition and there is
      not sufficient natural regeneration of native species, the areas shall be replanted with endemic
      native species so that a sustainable natural ecosystem is restored.
      Council’s Conservation Management Supervisor will not inspect the site until 30 days after the
      weed treatment and replanting is complete
71.   Vehicular pavements within the drip zone of any of the existing trees on site to be retained
      shall be designed as a pervious pavement (such as grass paving cells or similar), as this will
      allow water that falls on this surface to penetrate to the trees root system. The pavement shall
      be constructed so as not to damage the tree or their root system and in this regard temporary
      fencing shall be provided around the trees during construction to help protect them.
      Plans shall be submitted to the Council for approval that clearly show the type and extent of
      the pervious pavement and the temporary fencing prior to obtaining a Development Permit for
      Operational Works.
72.   Where retained tress are located in areas proposed to filled on site (or are located on
      neighbouring allotments to the actual site to be filled), there will be a need to prevent fill
      material from being placed on the trees root system. To this end the design of the filling works
      will need to incorporate terracing around the tree or a similar means of ensuring that the
      natural ground level around the trees remains generally the same as existing. These
      measures shall clearly be shown on the plans submitted for Operational Works approval and
      any drainage required to drain these areas shall also be shown on the plans.

                                                                                    Page 10 of 24

If the disturbance of ASS cannot be avoided, the potential impacts of that disturbance
must be treated and managed to:
© neutralise existing acidity and prevent the generation of acid and metal
contaminants; and
* avoid releasing surface or groundwater flows containing acid and metal
contaminants into the environment.

The following advice is offered on whether the application demonstrates that the
proposed development can achieve Outcome 1 of SPP 2/02.

Background

ASS mapping’ shows part of the site in an area mapped as likely t to contain ASS, with
the remainder low probability. Geology mapping shows the site as quaternary coastal
wetlands. Surface elevations range from 1.5m to 9m AHD.

The planning reports states that excavations below 5m AHD are not anticipated,
however they are not able to rule this out due to exact details only being known once
Council have approved and conditioned the application. Accordingly, they request
that preparation of an ASSMP be imposed as a condition.

The Engineering Report states that filling of the south west corner of the site will be
required, with minimal earthworks in the remainder of the site to provide the cut to fill
earthworks for the new roadworks profile, and infrastructure trenching.

A lake appears to be proposed as part of the realignment of the 18" tee.

ASS Investigation Report

The following advice is offered on the preliminary ASS investigation undertaken by
Golder Associates and dated October 2007. NRW notes that the report is
preliminary due to details of the proposed earthworks and buildings were not known
at the time of reporting.

The ASS investigation revealed the presence of ASS in the southwest comer of the
site.

With respect to SPP 2/02 and related guidelines’, the ASS investigation is deficient in
the following areas:
« the number of boreholes — 2 were tested as part of the ASS investigation
instead of 6;
* the number of samples analysed — 6 in the two boreholes, instead of 6 per
borehole.

NRW support the proposal to drill 4 additional boreholes once more detailed
information is available on the proposed development.

In order for the ASS investigation to be consistent with SPP 2/02 and related
guidelines, NRW recommend further ASS investigations which address the
deficiencies detailed above.

ASS Management Plan

An ASS management plan (ASSMP) has not been undertaken, due to details of
earthworks not being available, however basic management strategies have been
mentioned in the ASS investigation.

Referral Agency Recommendations

NRW consider that the information provided with the application does not adequately
demonstrate that the proposed development can achieve Outcome 1 of SPP 2/02.

In order for the ASS investigation to be consistent with SPP 2/02 and related
guidelines, NRW recommend further investigations as detailed above. This could be
undertaken as a condition of approval.

NRW recommend that an ASSMP be undertaken consistent with SPP 2/02 and
related guidelines. This could be undertaken as a condition of approval.

While NRW offers this advice under SPP 2/02, it remains the duty of care of the site
owner not to cause Environmental Harm as defined under the Environmental
Protection Act 1994.

. Third Party Matters
The Chief Executive of the Department of Natural Resources and Water provides the
following advice to assist the Assessment Manager to fully consider the application.

Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003

NRW also takes this opportunity to advise Council of the responsibilities of applicants
under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003. Council may wish to include this
information as an Advisory Note on the Decision Notice issued for the application.

Under section 23 of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 a person who carries
out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the
activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage (the “cultural heritage duty of
care"). Maximum penalties for breaching the duty of care are $750,000 for a
corporation and $75,000 for an individual.

Applicants will comply with the duty of care in relation to Aboriginal cultural heritage if
they are acting in accordance with cultural heritage duty of care guidelines gazetted
under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003, available on the NRW website, or in
accordance with an agreement with the Aboriginal party for the area or a cultural
heritage management plan approved under part 7 of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage
Act 2003,

Applicants are also encouraged to undertake a search of the Aboriginal Cultural’

Heritage Database and the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Register, administered by the
Cultural Heritage Coordination Unit, Department of Natural Resources and Water.
Application forms to undertake a free search of the Cultural Heritage Register and
the Database may be obtained by contacting the Cultural Heritage Coordination Unit
on (07) 3238 3838 or on the NRW website www.nrw.qid.gov.au/cultural_heritage.

Glossary

Clearing as a result of the MCU/RaL includes:
« Clearing as a result of the MCU; and
+ Clearing as a result of the RaL.

Clearing as a result of the MCU includes:
¢ clearing of assessable vegetation that will result from the change in use,
consisting of any of the following
- Clearing for infrastructure—including buildings, stormwater management
systems, water supply and sewerage systems—that are proposed as part
_ Of the MCU application
— clearing for roads, vehicle parking, vehicle and pedestrian access, utilities
corridors, services, fences, firebreaks and fire management lines that are
proposed as part of the MCU application
- Clearing that may not be necessary for developing infrastructure but is
associated with the use applied for.
And
¢ clearing of assessable vegetation that will become exempt if the development
application is approved. This includes any of the following examples
— clearing for routine management and essential management purposes
associated with the approved development including clearing to maintain
proposed infrastructure, facilities, roads, access routes, utilities, services
and fences, and clearing to maintain the safety of persons and property
that will be associated with the development
— clearing for necessary fire breaks and fire management lines associated
with the development. This will be assessed as follows
i. all built infrastructure other than underground services, roads and
fences will be assessed as requiring clearing for firebreaks with a
width of 1.5 times the height of the tallest vegetation adjacent to the
infrastructure, or 20m, whichever is the greater. However, evidence
may be provided to NRW that confirms that an alternative firebreak
width is required that is consistent with the State Planning Policy
(SPP) 1/03 Guideline
ii- all proposed allotment boundaries will be assessed as requiring
clearing for fire management lines with a width of 10m constructed
on either side of the allotment boundary, unless NRW is provided
with evidence that confirms that an alternative width of fire
management line is required or an alternative configuration of fire
management lines are required that is consistent with the SPP 1/03
Guideline
iii, in the case of evidence being presented that demonstrates
alternative fire management guidelines as being sufficient and
consistent with the SPP 1/03, NRW may condition the development
so that the full extent of exempt clearing prescribed for essential
management under Schedule 8 of the IPA cannot be carried out by
current or future landholders
- where there is a concurrent application for Reconfiguring of a Lot (RaL)
for the same land that has not yet been decided—clearing as a result of
the RaL as set out in the RaL Policy item 2 will be assessed,
