                      Prestart, On and Off Maintenance Inspections Request
               11.    Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5
                      business days’ notice of preferred inspection time.
               12.    If Council officers are required to undertake additional inspections of the same works, a
                      reinspection fee will be applicable in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges register
                      applicable at the time.
               13.    A minimum maintenance period of 12 months will apply to all municipal works and thereafter
                      until such time as the works are performing in accordance with the approved design unless
                      noted otherwise
                      Environmental Advisory Notes
               14.    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.
                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               15.    Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
                      Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control
               16.    Qualified Person, for the purpose of erosion and sediment control is a Certified Professional
                      in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) or suitably experienced Registered Professional
                      Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).
               17.    As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if
                      at the time of the plan sealing inspection:
                      a.      Methods of stabilisation are:
                              •        appropriate for slopes and slope lengths; and
                              •        are consistent with best practice environmental management practices such as
                                       in the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control or the IECA Manual; and
                      b.      Stormwater runoff from the site is not currently, and is not likely to result in visible
                              evidence of sedimentation or erosion, or lead to water contamination.
                              If at the time of request for plan sealing, the method of short-term stabilisation has not
                              achieved a level of stability that Council's Officers believe will have a high probability
                              of achieving long term stability (i.e. until house construction has occurred on all lots),
                              Council Officers may take the following matters into consideration in determining
                              whether the site is capable of achieving medium to long-term stability:
                              •        evidence that the site has been effectively stabilised in the short term;
                              •        evidence that soil has been adequately ameliorated;
                              •        evidence that seed of annual and perennial grass species has been applied at
                                       an adequate rate; and
                              •        that grass seed has germinated at a density that is likely to achieve an effective
                                       grass cover.
                      Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy
               18.    The QLeave levy must be paid prior to the issue of a development permit where it is required.
                      Council will not be able to issue a Decision Notice without receipt of details that the Levy has
                      been paid.
