Delegated Report - Code - Planning OPW26 0033 (As Published)

                      Following this period the temporary cover is to be removed, and the approved plantings
                      installed. The bioretention devices are then to be appropriately maintained for a minimum
                      period of 12 months prior to being accepted as Off Maintenance by Council’s delegate.
               60.    Prior to acceptance of the basin either On or Off Maintenance, Council must receive evidence
                      that the results for the in-situ hydraulic conductivity testing conducted in accordance with
                      FAWB PRACTICE NOTE 1: In Situ Measurement of Hydraulic Conductivity Belinda Hatt,
                      Sebastien Le Coustumer April 2008 for the bioretention filter media achieve the design
                      criteria.
               61.    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.
               62.    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.
               63.    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.
               64.    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
               65.    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.
               66.    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.
               67.    The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in
                      accordance with the supervising engineer’s instructions and the current best practice
                      standards. A copy of the latest erosion and sediment control plan, prepared and endorsed
                      by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ/CPESC), must be made available to Council within 5
                      business of request.
