 14.119 Effects of works
 Drainage
 O1 Finished surface levels ensure        S1.1 The finished surface gradient of any        Complies
 land is free draining.                   filled or excavated area is within the range     Refer to the stormwater
                                          0.5% to 1.5% and drains to Council’s             management report
                                          stormwater infrastructure where available or
                                          where stormwater infrastructure is not
                                          available, toward the street.
 Hydraulics
 O2 Any change to the level of the        No solution provided.                            Complies
 land does not have an adverse
 flooding impact on the flooding and
 drainage characteristics off-site.

                                             exposed areas to suppress dust;
                                          b) provision of dust stabilised or sealed
                                             internal roads;
                                          c) protective covering of exposed areas that
