 6.3        Construction Phase Management

6.3.1     Reference and Guidelines
Erosion and sediment control management for the development should be in accordance with the International
Erosion Control Association (IECA) Best Management Practices (2008), the Institute of Engineers (QLD)
‘Sediment and Erosion Control Guidelines’ and Council requirements.
All erosion and sediment control devices used during and after construction is to be in line with current best
management practices and all practical measures applicable to the site. Erosion and Sediment Control Measures
should include, but not be limited to, details within the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Drawings to be provided
at detailed design stage.
As per the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) 1994 all personnel must comply with the general environmental
controls under Sections 319 and 320, provided as follows:
    Section 319 of the EPA states that all persons involved in the project, from design to construction, are to
     act in accordance with the ‘general environmental duty’. This requires all reasonable and practicable
     measures to be adopted to prevent or minimise environmental harm. Consequently, any erosion and
     sediment control devices proposed or implemented on site must represent current best management
     practices and all practical measures applicable to the site.
    In addition, Section 320 of the EPA, all personnel have a legally binding duty to notify their employer, their
     Local Regulatory Authority and the Environmental Protection Agency (QLD) should they become aware of
     a potential or actual incident of environmental harm. The principal contractor should therefore be aware of
     their responsibility to ensure all persons on site are aware of their environmental duties.

6.3.2     Responsibility
In addition to the above, it is the responsibility of the contractor to put in place all the erosion and sediment control
measures on site until all disturbed areas are reinstated including maintenance of such measures.
The contractor is, at all times, responsible for the erosion and sediment control measures to ensure minimal
environmental harm and compliance with Council’s standards.

6.3.3     Proposed Erosion & Sediment Control Measures
During the construction phase of the development, an Erosion and Sediment Control Program will be implemented
to minimise water quality impacts.
This Program will be developed by the Contractor that is engaged to design and construct plan and, will hence,
not be available until closer to the start of construction.
Details of the required construction phase sediment and erosions control measures will be provided on the
engineering drawings (detailed design phase) and shall be in accordance with the SPP 2017. However, the
contractor shall be responsible for the preparation and implementation of an Erosion and Sediment Control
Program and meeting the required minimum construction phase water quality objectives.
The information below is provided to identify possible controls and procedures, that could be adopted to mitigate
erosion and sediment impacts, including who is responsible for them, and is recommended to be incorporated
into the Erosion and Sediment Control Program.

6.3.3.1 Pre-Construction
    Establish a single stabilised entry/exit point (rumble pad) for each stage of construction. This point should
     also include a vehicle shakedown device to mitigate the transportation of dust and dirt.
