                                                                                           2010/100




      8.4.   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.
      8.5.   Native screening vegetation provided with a minimum width of 500mm along the side
             boundaries;
      8.6.   The Council drainage reserve shall be revegetated for a distance of 5m beyond the rear
             boundary with lomandras (mat rush) at 0.5m spacings; and
                                                                                 2
      8.7.   Exclusive clothes drying areas with minimum dimensions of 25m ;
9.    Existing trees on the site and within road reserves are to be retained, except where required to
      be removed due to building operations or the conduct of the approved use.
10.   Cleared vegetation is to be suitably processed by one of the following methods and removed
      from the site:-
      10.1. Processing through a woodchipper or shredder. The resulting mulch is to be stockpiled
            loose in heaps of less than 1000 cubic metres, less than 2.5 metres high with a
            minimum of 10 metres between edges of heaps.
      10.2. Disposal for firewood.
      10.3. Disposal for landscaping purposes.
      10.4. Transport to alternative site for breaking down materials provided that all necessary
            permits have been obtained to allow the alternate site to be used for this purpose.
      10.5. The disposal method for clearing works is to be submitted in conjunction with an
            application for a Development Permit for Operational Work. The Applicant is advised
            that other methods may be considered provided full details of the method are submitted.
      The Applicant is advised that burning off is an unacceptable method of disposal.

      fence on the boundary shall be no more than 1.2 metres high and of open construction (i.e. at
      least 50% transparent).
12.   For increased surveillance of the adjoining drainage reserve, any fencing between the
      drainage reserve and the rear dwelling unit shall be no more than 1.2 m high.
