                                                                                       2007/2399



         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.

Vegetation Protection & Preservation
70.   All Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 pest plants declared under the Land Protection (Pest and
      Stock Route Management) Act 2002 are to be controlled on the site prior to Council
      endorsement of the plan of survey. In this context “controlled” shall mean, for class 1 and 2
      pests, completely eradicated. For class 3 pests it shall mean removal of the plants where they
      threaten environmentally significant areas of the site such as riparian zones and areas of
      natural vegetation. Where class 3 plants are removed as a result of this condition and there is
      not sufficient natural regeneration of native species, the areas shall be replanted with endemic
      native species so that a sustainable natural ecosystem is restored.
      Council’s Conservation Management Supervisor will not inspect the site until 30 days after the
      weed treatment and replanting is complete
71.   Vehicular pavements within the drip zone of any of the existing trees on site to be retained
      shall be designed as a pervious pavement (such as grass paving cells or similar), as this will
      allow water that falls on this surface to penetrate to the trees root system. The pavement shall
      be constructed so as not to damage the tree or their root system and in this regard temporary
      fencing shall be provided around the trees during construction to help protect them.
      Plans shall be submitted to the Council for approval that clearly show the type and extent of
      the pervious pavement and the temporary fencing prior to obtaining a Development Permit for
      Operational Works.
72.   Where retained tress are located in areas proposed to filled on site (or are located on
      neighbouring allotments to the actual site to be filled), there will be a need to prevent fill
      material from being placed on the trees root system. To this end the design of the filling works
      will need to incorporate terracing around the tree or a similar means of ensuring that the
      natural ground level around the trees remains generally the same as existing. These
      measures shall clearly be shown on the plans submitted for Operational Works approval and
      any drainage required to drain these areas shall also be shown on the plans.
Contributions Towards Council Infrastructure
73.   Monetary contributions shall be paid to Noosa Council towards the cost of providing and/or
      upgrading various infrastructure at the rates applicable at the time of payment. An estimate
      only of the contribution amounts under the current Council policies and requirements is
      outlined in the table below:
                                                                                         12 of 26
