Condition 62 – Earthworks and Site Stability
62.    As the site is located below the 20m AHD and above the 5m AHD, any excavation works
       consisting of 100m3 or greater which extends below 5m AHD will need to be carried out in
       accordance with State Planning Policy 2/02 Planning and Managing Development
       Involving Acid Sulfate Soils. In this regard appropriate testing and supporting
       documentation prepared by a suitably qualified specialist shall be submitted to Council for
       approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works.
Applicant’s request
The applicant requests that the condition be updated to reflect the new State Planning Policy.
Assessment
It is agreed that the condition should be updated to reflect today’s requirements and therefore the
condition should be amended as follows:
62.   Where excavations of non-imported soils below the elevation of 5m AHD are necessary for
      construction, the application for Operational Works for Bulk Earthworks, Stormwater and/or
      Landscaping must demonstrate and include certification from a suitably experienced and
      qualified geotechnical engineer of methods necessary to ensure construction and operation
      of the development:
      a.    is consistent with Queensland Acid Sulfate Soil Technical Manual: Soil Management
            Guidelines; and
      b.    will not result in the release of acid or associated metals; and
      c.    will not cause localised lowering of groundwater.


Conditions 72 & 73 – Environmental Health
72.   Adequate and safe access shall be provided to all waste and recycling collection areas for
      Council’s Waste Contractors as per Tate Professional Engineers drawing C1732 / F/
      SK137-3 Revised G.
73    Adequate storage areas shall be provided for all waste and recycling containers for the
      commercial component of the site as per drawings by Starco Developments Pty Ltd dated
      August 2006, No 433 – WMO3.
Applicant’s request
The applicant has requested that the condition be amended to remove reference to the
superseded Tate Engineer drawings and refer to the amended plans.
Assessment
Request considered reasonable however, the revised plans do not provide significant detail
about waste or recycling areas for the resort with minimal detail provided for the central facilities.
The condition is recommended to delete reference to the superseded drawings and provide a
waste management plan for the site in accordance with Councils Policy:
72.   The development must provide waste storage and disposal facilities in accordance with
      Planning Scheme Policy 9, Waste Management, including:
      a.    an external imperviously paved area correctly sized for all refuse and recycling
            containers and suitably screened from public places and neighbouring properties.
