          reports shall demonstrate compliance with the Management Plan and Consent Order
          and include a written discussion of the results and recommend any necessary
          actions.
     5.   An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) shall be prepared and implemented to
          ensure that the impact of the development on the environment is minimised and that
          the environmental values of the site are protected and enhanced. The Environmental
          Management Plan is to address the implementation of the requirements of the
          ecological restoration plan, sediment and erosion control plan, water quality
          management plan, landscape master plan; and address all other environmental
          considerations deemed relevant to the approved use and local environment, in order
          to minimize environmental harm and provide for progressive self-sustainable
          landscape/ecosystem re-habilitation. The EMP should be prepared to a standard
          necessary to meet Council requirements and recognized industry standards. The
          EMP is to:
               Comply with AS00014.
               Demonstrate a high level of environmental care and responsibility and be
                consistent with best practice for developments of this type in similar
                environments.
               Detail the applicant’s environmental policy and the proposed environmental
                management system for the site.
     6.   The Environmental Management Plan shall specify to the reasonable satisfaction of
          Council: the performance targets, including those derived from the conditions and
          other requirements arising from legislation;
               how the performance targets are to be achieved;
               when the performance targets will be satisfied;
               how performance will be monitored;
               corrective actions and contingency measures to be undertaken;
               reporting arrangements ;
               auditing arrangements.
     7.   An Ecological Restoration Plan and Specifications shall be prepared by a specialist
          restoration ecologist, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Council. It shall identify all
          the areas that require ecological restoration and specify actions and works necessary
          to result in robust, self-sustaining viable plant communities and habitat.
     8.   The applicant/owner of the site shall comply with the updated Management Plan
          incorporating the Environmental Management Plan.
     9.   Detailed staged Sediment and Erosion Control Plans shall be prepared for the site, to
          the reasonable satisfaction of Council, and in accordance with the Institution of
          Engineers Australia ‘Engineering Guidelines for Queensland Soil and Sediment
          Control’ (June 1996) and in particular using Checklist No. 3 from that document. The
          Sediment and Erosion Control Plans shall cover all development on site, ecological
          restoration and remediation works.
B.   Advise the applicant that the use is to comply with the scale and intensity allowed in the
     current approval and any increase in scale and intensity of operations on the site will be
