                      Environmental Advisory Notes
               11.    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
               12.    Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
                      Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control

               14.    As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if
                      at the time of the plan sealing inspection:
                      a.      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
                      b.      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.
