ADVISORY NOTES
The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form
part of the assessment manager conditions:
General Advisory Notes
1.    In regard to the required “Flood Impact Assessment” Council will provide access to the
      current data relating to flood modeling within the Pomona township.
2.    Council reserves the right to call up any performance bond held or levy charges against the
      property, should emergency works be required to be undertaken by Council to make the
      site safe due to inactivity on the development site for extended periods of time.
3.    Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of
      construction constraints, a “Request to change an existing approval” under the Sustainable
      Planning Act 2009 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be
      lodged with this application along with the appropriate fees.
      Prestart Meeting Request
4.    Contact Council on 5329 6244 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5
      business days notice of preferred inspection time.
      Erosion and Sediment Control
5.    Accepted best practice standards include:
      (a)   the Sunshine Coast Regional Council Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control V1.2
            or other superseding document subsequently adopted by Council;
      (b)   Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control, International Erosion Control
            Association (2008)
6.    As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if
      at the completion of the works:
      I.    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
      II.   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.




REPORT
1.    Proposal
The applicant seeks approval for a Development Permit for Operational Works – Engineering
works – Earthworks and Stockpile for Repairs. The proposal is for the earthworks (filling) of a
portion of the site located between the existing Showground facilities and the line of vegetation
adjacent to the watercourse on the western boundary and for a stockpile of material for repairs.
The applicant advised that the filling was required to provide for additional area f or car and float
parking in addition to the repairs to the existing surface.
