Contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5 business days’ notice of preferred inspection time.
If Council officers are required to undertake additional inspections of the same works, a reinspection fee will be applicable in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges register applicable at the time.
A minimum maintenance period of 12 months will apply to all municipal works and thereafter until such time as the works are performing in accordance with the approved design unless noted otherwise
Environmental Advisory Notes
The Environmental Protection Act 1994 states that a person must not carry out any activity that causes, or is likely to cause, environmental harm unless the person takes all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent or minimise the harm. Environmental harm includes environmental nuisance. In this regard persons and entities, involved in the civil, earthworks, construction and landscaping phases of this development are to adhere to their ‘general environmental duty’ to minimise the risk of causing environmental harm.
Erosion and Sediment Control
Accepted best practice standards include:
the Sunshine Coast Regional Council Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control V1.2 or other superseding document subsequently adopted by Council;
Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control, International Erosion Control Association (2008)
As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if at the time of the On-Maintenance inspection:
Methods of stabilisation are:
appropriate for slopes and slope lengths; and
are consistent with best practice environmental management practices such as in the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control or the IECA Manual; and
Stormwater runoff from the site is not currently, and is not likely to result in visible evidence of sedimentation or erosion, or lead to water contamination.
If at the time of the On-Maintenance inspection, the method of short-term stabilisation has not achieved a level of stability that Council's Officers believe will have a high probability of achieving long term stability (i.e. until house construction has occurred on all lots), Council Officers may take the following matters into consideration in determining whether the site is capable of achieving medium to long-term stability:
evidence that the site has been effectively stabilised in the short term;
evidence that soil has been adequately ameliorated;
evidence that seed of annual and perennial grass species has been applied at an adequate rate; and
that grass seed has germinated at a density that is likely to achieve an effective grass cover.
Qualified Person
Qualified Person, for the purpose of:
Supervising landscape works and preparing a landscape certification, is considered to be a landscape architect, landscape designer or horticulturist with a minimum of three years current experience in the field of landscape design.
