               80.    Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If such
                      measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the spot” fines may be issued. Such
                      fines can be issued if sediments from the site are found to enter or have the potential to enter
                      Council’s stormwater system, natural waterways, any downstream stormwater filtration
                      system or adversely impacting on other properties. The sediment and erosion control design
                      and measures have NOT been approved, it is the site's Supervising Engineer who is
                      responsible for ensuring that the sediment and erosion control measures have:
                      a.      Been duly designed by an RPEQ or CPESC and constructed in accordance with "best
                              practise" methods;
                      b.      Been revised by an RPEQ or CPESC to address the issues raised by changes in the
                              projected construction schedule and/or methods;
                      c.      Been revised to address predicted rainfall events; and
                      d.      Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
                      Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be
                      found inefficient.
               81.    The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in
                      accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current best practice
                      standards * (Refer to Advisory Note).
               82.    The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the
                      extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather
                      conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and prior
                      to rainfall occurring.
               83.    The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining
                      properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles and/or
                      machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and sediment control
                      measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including vehicle shakedown
                      pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where sediments or other
                      contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s
                      drainage system or waterways.
               84.    Prior to the completion of the development and commencement of use, 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.
                      Damage to Services and Assets
               85.    Any damage caused to existing services and assets as a result of the development works
                      must be repaired at no cost to the asset owner at the following times:
                      a.      where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety, immediately;
                              or
                      b.      where otherwise, upon completion of the works associated with the development.



                                                                                                            Page 14 of 21

                      Any repair work which proposes to alter the alignment or level of existing services and assets
                      must first be referred to the relevant service authority for approval.
               PRIOR TO COUNCIL SIGNING THE PLAN OF SURVEY
                      Certification
               86.    Upon completion of the work a certificate must be issued by an RPEQ certifying that the
                      works have been constructed in accordance with the Operational Works permit.
                      On Maintenance
               87.    All municipal works must be accepted ‘On Maintenance’ by Council in accordance with
                      Council’s relevant Planning Scheme Policy prior to plan sealing. To achieve ‘On
                      Maintenance’, the supervising RPEQ must submit to Council:
                      a.      certification that all works have been undertaken and completed in accordance with the
                              requirements of this Permit;
                      b.      as Constructed details in accordance with Council’s Planning Scheme Policy; and
                      c.      maintenance and operational manuals for all proprietary or site specific devices.
                      Off Maintenance
               88.    Prior to requesting an Off Maintenance inspection, the developer must provide a written
                      request for the Off Maintenance inspection.
               89.    A re-inspection fee in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charge Register will be charged
                      where:
                      a.      a Council inspection reveals works do not comply with approval requirements; or
                      b.      submitted certification falsely states works comply with approval requirements.
               90.    A final inspection and approval of the new driveway and completed reinstatement works by
                      Council’s Inspector is required. Please contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange for the
                      inspection.

                      General Advisory Notes
               9.     As this driveway is a private structure, the owner bears full responsibly for the standard of its
                      construction, maintenance and any liabilities associated with its construction. It is
                      recommended that professional advice be sought for the construction of the driveway to
                      ensure that the driveway is constructed in accordance with standard drawings RS-051.
               10.    Council has undertaken an audit check of the Operational Works drawings in relations 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.
               11.    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.
               12.    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 Planning Act
                      2016 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this
                      application along with the appropriate fees.
                      Prestart, On and Off Maintenance Inspections Request
               13.    Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5
                      business days’ notice of preferred inspection time.
               14.    If Council officers are required to undertake additional inspections of the same works, a
                      reinspection fee will be applicable in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges register
                      applicable at the time.
               15.    A minimum maintenance period of 12 months will apply to all municipal works and thereafter
                      until such time as the works are performing in accordance with the approved design unless
                      noted otherwise.
                      Environmental Advisory Notes
               16.    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

                      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.
