reinspection fee will be applicable in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges register
applicable at the time.
Environmental Advisory Notes
8. 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
9. Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control
10. Qualified Person, for the purpose of erosion and sediment control is a Certified Professional
in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) or suitably experienced Registered Professional
Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).
11. 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.
If at the time of request for plan sealing, 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.
