Watercourses and drainage lines                                   No solution provided.                                                  Not applicable
O24 Landscaping works along watercourses
and drainage lines—
a) retains and enhances the existing riparian vegetation
     including understorey; and
b) rehabilitates and revegetates degraded riparian zones to
     filter stormwater run-off and provide for native wildlife
     habitat; and
c) avoids slashing and turfing of watercourse edges and
     drainage lines; and
d) avoids engineering design solutions, such as
     concrete drains; and
e) use natural materials in the construction of boardwalks,
     bridges and similar structures to blend with the natural
     environment.
