PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                               9 DECEMBER 2014


    Erosion and Sediment Control
    17.   The developer must ensure non-essential, short or long term, exposure of soil is
          prevented by minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather conditions
          and effectively turf or stabilise any exposed area without delay and prior to rainfall
          occurring.
    18.   The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining
          properties or the dam on the site due to surface runoff on tyres of vehicles and/or
          machinery. The developer must implement appropriate approved erosion and
          sediment control measures throughout the site during all phases of construction and
          the ongoing operation of the site.
    19.   Prior to the completion of the development, all site surfaces must be effectively
          stabilised using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation and
          which will continue to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium to long-term. For
          the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that
          does not, or is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill
          or gully erosion or lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination.
    20.   The supervising engineer and applicant are responsible to ensure that the
          implemented, short and long term, erosion controls measures are effective and
          regularly maintained to cater for all weather conditions.
    After Completion of Works
    21.   Prior to the commencement of use and the engineering certification of the works by
          the supervising engineer (RPEQ), a combined inspection of the completed works by
          Council’s Inspector/s and the supervising engineer is required. Please contact
          Council on 5329 6244 to arrange the inspection.
    Waste
    22.   The developer must provide adequate waste storage and disposal facilities.
    23.   Refuse bins must not be placed on the existing road formation of Holts Road. A
          suitably sized all-weather pad shall be constructed adjacent the driveway entrances
          to provide for waste bin collection.
    ADVISORY NOTES
    Engineering Certification
    1.    Council has undertaken an audit check of the submitted plans in relation 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.
    General Environmental Advisory Note
    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.
