ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                   18 DECEMBER 2014


        Erosion and Sediment Control
        17.   The developer must ensure non-essential, short or long term, exposure of soil
              is prevented by minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather
              conditions and effectively turf or stabilise any exposed area without delay and
              prior to rainfall occurring.
        18.   The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto
              adjoining properties or the dam on the site due to surface runoff on tyres of
              vehicles and/or machinery. The developer must implement appropriate
              approved erosion and sediment control measures throughout the site during all
              phases of construction and the ongoing operation of the site.
        19.   Prior to the completion of the development, all site surfaces must be effectively
              stabilised using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation
              and which will continue to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium to long-
              term. For the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is
              defined as one that does not, or is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil
              loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion or lead to sedimentation, or lead to
              water contamination.
        20.   The supervising engineer and applicant are responsible to ensure that the
              implemented, short and long term, erosion controls measures are effective and
              regularly maintained to cater for all weather conditions.
        After Completion of Works
        21.   Prior to the commencement of use and the engineering certification of the
              works by the supervising engineer (RPEQ), a combined inspection of the
              completed works by Council’s Inspector/s and the supervising engineer is
              required. Please contact Council on 5329 6244 to arrange the inspection.
        Waste
        22.   The developer must provide adequate waste storage and disposal facilities.
        23.   Refuse bins must not be placed on the existing road formation of Holts Road. A
              suitably sized all-weather pad shall be constructed adjacent the driveway
              entrances to provide for waste bin collection.
        ADVISORY NOTES
        Engineering Certification
        1.    Council has undertaken an audit check of the submitted plans in relation to the
              proposed works. A detailed check of the calculations and drawings has not
              been undertaken, as they have been certified by a RPEQ. The RPEQ bears full
              responsibility for all aspects of the engineering design. Council reserves the
              right to require further amendments and/or additions at a later date should
              design errors become apparent.
        General Environmental Advisory Note
        2.    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.
