                      Earthworks
                      53.     All earthworks must be carried out in accordance with a Geotechnical Report (or
                              part thereof) prepared by a qualified person* and endorsed through a Development
                              Permit for Operational Works approval. *(Refer to Advisory Note)
                      54.     All earthworks shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of AS 3798
                              Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development, with
                              geotechnical testing undertaken in accordance with Section 8 of the Standard, and
                              to a minimum of ‘Level 1’ as defined in Appendix B. Test results as required by AS
                              3798, and a certificate of quality and uniformity of fill shall be provided by a RPEQ
                              and submitted to Council prior to final inspection/s of works.
                      55.     A registered practicing Geotechnical Engineer shall test the existing ground
                              conditions for suitability of placing additional fill, prior to such fill being placed.
                      56.     Filling works shall be restricted to the subject site itself, and the finished fill levels
                              are to taper to the existing levels on the property. Batters shall be at a maximum
                              grade of 1:4 unless retained by an engineer-designed wall or approved retention
                              method.
                      57.     Any fill imported to the site may only be from a site licensed with The
                              Environmental Protection Agency or from a site for which a Development Permit
                              for Operational Works has been issued approving the export of fill.
                      58.     Following completion of the filling works for each Stage, the registered practicing
                              Geotechnical Engineer supervising the works shall submit compaction tests across
                              the entire filled areas and make recommendations if special foundations
                              requirements will apply.
                      59.     Buildings floor levels and bulk earthworks finish levels must take into consideration
                              any building Minimum Floor Level required by the planning scheme at the time of
                              construction.
                      60.     Earthworks carried out on site must not adversely affect the drainage conditions on
                              any other properties or existing roads, and/or the patterns and severity of flooding
                              in the area particularly on downstream properties. Filling works required on site
                              shall not cause additional ponding of water on any adjoining lands or the blockage
                              of, or interference with, any natural watercourses. Detailed site surveys indicating
                              natural surface levels and contours of any potentially affected properties must be
                              provided with any application for a Development Permit for Operational Works for
                              earthworks and/or stormwater drainage works.
                              This may require the design and construction of drainage pipes and/or an overland
                              flow-path within the development site to cater for drainage from the adjoining sites
                              for a 1% AEP design storm.
                      Stormwater Drainage (Quantity & Quality)
                      61.     A suitably qualified Registered Professional Engineer, specialising in hydraulics
                              shall prepare engineering drawings and specifications for stormwater designs and
                              shall be submitted in conjunction with an application for a Development Permit for
                              Operational Works.
                      62.     Stormwater pipelines within the site shall cater for 10% AEP storm event and
                              secondary flow paths shall be provided within the site to cater for 1% AEP storm
                              event.
