Any existing fill or natural materials on the site or with the extent of approved works external
to the site which do not satisfy the Manager - Land Development's or a Geotechnical
Engineer's requirements shall be removed and replaced with suitable material.
65. Following completion of the filling works and prior to endorsement of the Plan of Survey for
Stage 2, the registered practicing Geotechnical Engineer supervising the works shall submit
compaction tests across the entire filled areas and a site classification report for each lot
subject to filling. The extent of fill and each lot site classification shall be shown on a metes
and bounds survey plan.
An appropriate property notation shall be placed on Council's rates records to advise
prospective purchasers of lots that have been filled that special foundations requirements
will apply.
Acid Sulfate Soils
66. As the site is located below the 5m AHD, any excavation works consisting of 100m3 or greater
and/or any filling works consisting of 500m3 or greater and with an average depth of 0.5m or
greater will need to be carried out in accordance with State Planning Policy 2/02 Planning
and Managing Development Involving Acid Sulfate Soils. In this regard appropriate testing
and supporting documentation prepared by a suitably qualified specialist shall be submitted
to Council for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works.
67. As the subject site is likely to contain Acid Sulfate Soils, Council wishes to make the applicant
aware of their obligations in terms of good environmental practice, which requires that Acid
Sulfate Soils:-
• should not be removed from the site,
• should not be disturbed, if possible, and
• should be treated and neutralized on site where required.
In the event that Acid Sulfate Soils are removed from site and forwarded for disposal at one
of Council’s landfill sites, Council may:-
• refuse to accept such soil, or
• treat and neutralize the soil and charge such costs for soil testing and remediation to
the applicant and or developer of the site.
Site Stability
68. A Geotechnical Engineer or similar qualified expert shall assess the soil condition on site,
determine the soil classification, establish whether any measures are required to protect the
stability of adjoining buildings and/or structures and/or land, and make recommendations on
the type of foundation system(s) best suited for the proposed development. The
recommendations of this report shall be incorporated into the design and construction of the
proposed development.
Erosion and Sediment Control
69. Any person acting on this permit shall prevent erosion and sediment export from leaving the
site. Site control measures such as silt fencing, controlled gravel access to the site and
controlled disposal of waste, will be necessary.
In this regard plans detailing the methods of controlling erosion and sediment are required
to be submitted to the Council for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for
Operational Works.
