Negotiated Decision Notice - MCU24 0125, OPW24 158 & RAL24 0021 (As Published) · MCU24/0125

                      Environmental Advisory Notes
               29.    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.
                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               30.    Council recommends the installation of an on-site weather monitoring station to record the
                      volume of rainfall during inclement weather events. Council may request access to the rainfall
                      data following inclement weather events that lead to the release of sediment laden water
                      from the development site.
               31.    Council recommends the principal contractor prepares a logbook (physical or electronic) for
                      all watering activities for the purposes of dust control. Council may request access to the
                      logbook during dry and windy periods that results in sediment (dust) exiting the development
                      site.
               32.    Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
                      Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control.
               33.    Qualified Person, for the purpose of erosion and sediment control is a Certified Professional
                      in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) or suitably experienced Registered Professional
                      Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).
               34.    As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if
                      at the time of the plan sealing inspection:
                      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.
