the driveway on the alignment of the path, for the full width of the path.
e. The property access must be located a minimum of 1m clear of existing power poles,
streetlights or other signage. The developer is responsible for any necessary relocation
of existing services to provide this clearance and must contact the relevant service
authorities and comply with their requirements in relation to these works.
Earthworks and Retaining Walls
27. A separate development permit for Operational Works must be granted for bulk earthworks
prior to any works commencing, unless those works form part of approved building work on
the land. A development permit for Operational Works must also be obtained for any site
proposed to source fill for, or receive fill from, the development. The transport routes for the
haulage of material between these two sites must be identified and approved by Council.
28. All earthworks shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of AS 3798 Guidelines
on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development. Test results as required by AS
3798, and a certificate of quality and uniformity of fill shall be provided by a RPEQ and
submitted to Council prior to Council signing the Plan of Survey.

a. 1 in 6 where in proximity to waterbodies
b. 1 in 4 for grassed areas.
c. 1 in 3 for planted areas.
d. 1 in 2 for combined structural engineering and planting solutions.
Stormwater Drainage
30. Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including
temporary outlets.
31. Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage
conditions on other properties (eg by blocking or interfering with natural overland flows).
32. Drainage works must be undertaken on the site so as not to cause nuisance and annoyance
to any person or premises. The development must ensure stormwater overland flow from
the development site is not discharged or diverted onto land (other than a road) adjacent to
the site in a manner which:
a. Concentrates the rate of flow at any point along the property boundary; or
b. Increases the peak flow rates of stormwater discharged at any point along the property
boundary; beyond that which existed prior to commencement of works.
33. Construction of all internal stormwater drainage works must comply with the relevant
section/s of Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.3.
34. 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 (refer to E&SC Advisory Notes).
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.
Erosion and Sediment Control
35. Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental Protection
Regulation 2019) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely
to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are
taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination.

Document Set ID: 22803369
Version: 4, Version Date: 08/02/2024
Page 6
36. Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If such
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. The sediment and erosion control design
and measures have NOT been approved, it is the site's Supervising Engineer who is
responsible for ensuring that the sediment and erosion control measures have:
a. Been duly designed by an RPEQ or CPESC and constructed in accordance with "best
practise" methods,
b. Been revised by an RPEQ or CPESC to address the issues raised by changes in the
projected construction schedule and/or methods,
c. Been revised to address predicted rainfall events, and
d. Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be
found inefficient.
37. The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in
accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current best practice
standards * (Refer to Advisory Note).
38. The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the
extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather
conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and prior
to rainfall occurring.
39. The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining
properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles and/or
machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and sediment control
measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including vehicle shakedown
pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where sediments or other
contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s
drainage system or waterways.
40. Prior to the completion of the development and commencement of use, 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.
Landscape
41. Landscape works must be supervised, undertaken and certified by qualified persons*. All
works must be completed in accordance with this Decision Notice.
(* Refer to Advisory Note)
42. Where damage occurs to any Council asset as a result of the development works, it must be
repaired immediately where it creates a hazard that presents risk to person or property. Other
damage must be repaired prior to completion of works.
43. All works must be constructed, and work procedure undertaken in accordance with:
a. The approved plans/documents and conditions detailed in this Decision Notice.
b. The relevant conditions of the higher order Material Change of Use approval viz.
MCU22/0111 to which this approval relates.
c. All relevant Council Planning Scheme Policies, standard drawings, standard
specifications and guidelines.

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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 Planning Act
2016 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this
application along with the appropriate fees.
Prestart, On and Off Maintenance Inspections Request
4. Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5
