          Overall Outcomes                Compliance

                             including:

                                •   All works will be undertaken in
                                    accordance with the guidelines
                                    presented within the Code for
                                    self-assessable development –
                                    Minor waterway barrier works –
                                    Part 3: culvert crossings;
                                •   Construction     works    will  be
                                    undertaken during periods of low
                                    rainfall or when the stream is
                                    dry. This will minimise the
                                    potential impacts associated with
                                    scouring,        erosion       and
                                    sedimentation. In addition, it will
                                    minimise     impact to aquatic
                                    species that may normally be
                                    located within the subject site
                                    when it is inundate;
                                •   Alternatively, the waterway can
                                    be temporarily blocked and
                                    drained to allow for construction
                                    in dry conditions. A spotter-
                                    catcher would be required to be
                                    present during drainage works to
                                    ensure the safe relocation of
                                    fauna from the waterway to
                                    further      downstream.       The
                                    waterway will be reinstated post
                                    construction works.
                                •   Works will be limited to the
                                    minimum disturbance area as far
                                    as practicable; and

                             There will be no additional temporary
                             waterway barrier works associated with
                             construction. All construction materials
                             and machinery will be stored within
                             designated laydown areas away from
                             the waterway. Stockpiles will be
                             protected by suitable drainage diversion
                             structures and/or covered to minimise
                             contact with rainfall and/or stormwater.
