        1. Materials are to be located within the site area and not placed in a position subject to
           concentrated stormwater runoff that may result in materials being washed onto the roadway or
           into the stormwater system or protected habitat areas.

        2. All construction sheds, skip bins, temporary water toilets, spoil, etc., shall be kept within the
           property. No vehicles, skips or machines shall be permitted to stand on Council’s footpath.

        3. Establish and maintain a hazardous substance register to be kept on-site, including Material
           Safety Data Sheets. Register is to include herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, fertilisers.
        4. Where practicable, minimise the amount of fuel and oils stored on-site. Brushcutter and other
           equipment refuelling should be carried out in location where any spillage can be effectively
           contained and disposed of. Such areas will be determined by ERP Contractor and the Restoration
           Ecologist.
        5. Any fuel and oils stored on-site to be contained by watertight bunds or spill trays with adequate
           capacity to prevent release to environment in the case of leaks or accidental spillage.
