                                      discharge management plan prepared by a
                                      suitably experienced and qualified groundwater
                                      hydrologist. The groundwater recharge or
                                      discharge must demonstrate that the
                                      development does not affect groundwater
                                      balances beyond the property boundaries.

                                      AO14.2
                                      Construction works are designed and managed
                                      to restrict the extent of clearing and soil
                                      exposure to the minimum necessary for access,
                                      and safe construction at any one time.

                                      AO14.3
                                      For buildings:
                                      (f)   upstream runoff is diverted around the
                                            construction site;
                                      (g)   sediment barriers are provided downslope
                                            of disturbed areas to prevent sediment
                                            washing into gutters, drains
                                            and waterways , wetlands or drainage
                                            lines either on or off the site; and
                                      (h)   temporary or permanent downpipes are
                                            connected to the stormwater system
                                            before laying the roof; or
                                      (i)   localised erosion is avoided by directing
                                            flow from downpipes over non-erosive
                                            areas.

                                      AO14.4
                                      Chemical flocculants used as part of an erosion
                                      and sediment control plan do not harm the
                                      environmental values within receiving waters.

                                      AO14.5
                                      Appropriately sized litter containment areas, with
                                      provision for sorting recyclables are provided for
                                      the type of litter expected to be generated onsite.
