EARTHWORKS CODE
A summary of the proposed development’s compliance with the purpose of the Eathworks Code is
included below.

The purpose of this code is to ensure:
   a) To ensure that earthworks do not unreasonably impact on the natural environment or other
       properties with regard to—
          i. land stability (including differential settlement or expansion in reactive soils);
         ii. contamination of land;
        iii. flooding and drainage;
        iv. groundwater, watercourses and wetlands;
         v. loss of native remnant or regrowth vegetation; and
   b) Earthworks are designed and constructed to be structurally sound.

Comment: The site is development ready and minimal earthworks are required for the proposed use.
The proposal will be able to achieve compliance with all Specific Outcomes of the Earthworks Code.
Detailed compliance will be demonstrated in a subsequent Operational Works Application.

EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL CODE
A summary of the proposed development’s compliance with the purpose of the Erosion and Sediment
Control Code is included below.

The purpose of this code is to ensure:

    a) there is no significant environmental harm caused by the effects of erosion and sediment
       transport associated with development;
    b) disturbed areas are stabilised and restored promptly and effectively; and
    c) disturbance of land is minimised.

Comment: The site is development ready and minimal earthworks are required for the proposed use.
The proposal will be able to achieve compliance with all Specific Outcomes of the Erosion Control
Code. Detailed compliance will be demonstrated in a subsequent Operational Works Application.

EXISTING SERVICES CODE
A summary of the proposed development’s compliance with the purpose of the Existing Services Code
is included below.

The purpose of this code is to ensure:
   a) Existing Council owned underground infrastructure is protected from potential or actual
       damage caused by development;
   b) Underground infrastructure is accessible for maintenance purposes; and
   c) Existing services are identified and methods of protection and access are implemented in the
       design of the development.

Comment: The site is currently serviced by all required urban services. The proposal will be able to
achieve compliance to all Specific Outcomes of the Existing Services Code. Existing Council
infrastructure will be protected, or replaced at the developer’s cost if damaged.
