        52.   Visitor car parking shall be conveniently located to all independent living units,
              village community centre and the aged care residence. Directional signage
              must be provided to direct visitors and customers to the car parking spaces
              provided on site.
        Earthworks
        53.   All earthworks must be carried out in accordance with a Geotechnical Report
              (or part thereof) prepared by a qualified person* and endorsed through a
              Development Permit for Operational Works approval.      *(Refer to Advisory
              Note)
        54.   All earthworks shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of AS
              3798 Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development,
              with geotechnical testing undertaken in accordance with Section 8 of the
              Standard, and to a minimum of ‘Level 1’ as defined in Appendix B. Test results
              as required by AS 3798, and a certificate of quality and uniformity of fill shall be
              provided by a RPEQ and submitted to Council prior to final inspection/s of
              works.
        55.   A registered practicing Geotechnical Engineer shall test the existing ground
              conditions for suitability of placing additional fill, prior to such fill being placed.
        56.   Filling works shall be restricted to the subject site itself, and the finished fill
              levels are to taper to the existing levels on the property. Batters shall be at a
              maximum grade of 1:4 unless retained by an engineer-designed wall or
              approved retention method.
        57.   Any fill imported to the site may only be from a site licensed with The
              Environmental Protection Agency or from a site for which a Development
              Permit for Operational Works has been issued approving the export of fill.
        58.   Following completion of the filling works for each Stage, the registered
              practicing Geotechnical Engineer supervising the works shall submit
              compaction tests across the entire filled areas and make recommendations if
              special foundations requirements will apply.
        59.   Buildings floor levels and bulk earthworks finish levels must take into
              consideration any building Minimum Floor Level required by the planning
              scheme at the time of construction.
        60.   Earthworks carried out on site must not adversely affect the drainage conditions
              on any other properties or existing roads, and/or the patterns and severity of
              flooding in the area particularly on downstream properties. Filling works
              required on site shall not cause additional ponding of water on any adjoining
              lands or the blockage of, or interference with, any natural watercourses.
              Detailed site surveys indicating natural surface levels and contours of any
              potentially affected properties must be provided with any application for a
              Development Permit for Operational Works for earthworks and/or stormwater
              drainage works.
              This may require the design and construction of drainage pipes and/or an
              overland flow-path within the development site to cater for drainage from the
              adjoining sites for a 1% AEP design storm.
