47. Subsoil drains are to be cleaned out and accumulated sediment manually removed from the
surface of basin and coarse sediment forebays at Off Maintenance and as required during
the maintenance period.
48. All stormwater quality treatment devices must be maintained by the development in
accordance with Water by Design (2009) Maintaining Vegetated Stormwater Assets (Version
1) until they are accepted as Off Maintenance by Council.
49. Any defects in WSUD devices identified during the maintenance period must be reviewed
and a report recommending required rectification works submitted to Council and endorsed
by Council’s delegate. Works to repair the device and prevent the problem occurring in the
future must be completed and the device maintained for a minimum period of 12 months prior
to the WSUD device being accepted as Off Maintenance.
50. Prior to council accepting the bioretention devices Off Maintenance, maintenance checklists
including the full cost of maintaining the devices in accordance with Water by Design (2009)
Maintaining Vegetated Stormwater Assets (Version 1) must be submitted to Council.
Erosion and Sediment Control
51. Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental Protection
Regulation 2019) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely
to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are
taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination. These
measures must be designed, implemented and maintained in accordance with “Best Practice
Erosion and Sediment Control” published by the International Erosion Control Association
(Australasian Chapter) (IECA, 2008), to the extent that such measures and practices are also
consistent with the following:
a. Minimise Erosion:
i. For areas of the site which drain to a sediment basin, implement drainage and
erosion control measures prior to rainfall which prevent or minimise rill erosion
and gully erosion
ii. For areas of the site which do not drain to a sediment basin, implement drainage
and erosion control measures prior to rainfall (including contingency measures)
which prevent or minimise erosion, including rain drop erosion, chemical erosion,
rill erosion and gully erosion
iii. Prior to the sealing of the plan of survey for 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.
b. Manage concentrated stormwater flows
iv. Prior to each rainfall event ensure concentrated stormwater flow paths are
provided with capacity in accordance with IECA (2008) Table 4.3.1 and are
structurally stable in all rainfall events for the following sources:
a) From stormwater catchments upslope of the area of disturbance which are
either stable or external to the site, ensure stormwater is diverted or
managed either:
i. around the site or through the site without causing erosion and
without contaminating the flow; or
ii if it is impractical to convey the flows around or through the site,
convey the flows into appropriately sized sediment basins without
causing erosion.
