Decision Notice OPW26 0069 (As Published)

               31.    All earthworks and associated batters/retaining structures, both above and below ground
                      level, both temporary and permanent, must be contained entirely within the subject site
                      unless written permission from the respective landowner(s) is provided to Council.
               32.    Fall protection must be provided to retaining walls that are over 1m high.
               33.    Slope and batters are a maximum grade of:
                      a.      1 in 6 where in proximity to waterbodies;
                      b.      1 in 4 for grassed areas;
                      c.      1 in 3 for planted areas; and
                      d.      1 in 2 for combined structural engineering and planting solutions.
                      Stormwater Drainage
               34.    Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including
                      temporary outlets.
               35.    Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage
                      conditions on other properties (e.g., by blocking or interfering with natural overland flows).
               36.    Construction of all internal stormwater drainage works must comply with the relevant
                      section/s of Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.3.
                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               37.    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.
               38.    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.
               39.    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.
                      (*) Refer to Advisory Note
               40.    All erosion and sediment controls must be inspected to ensure the controls are not being
                      bypassed. Inspections must occur and be electronically recorded:
