                      Earthworks and Retaining Walls
               27.    All earthworks shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of AS 3798 Guidelines
                      on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development, with geotechnical testing
                      undertaken in accordance with requirement of AS 3798 and the recommendations of the
                      supervising engineer, where required a certificate of quality and uniformity of fill shall be
                      provided by a RPEQ and submitted to Council prior to the final inspection by Council.
               28.    Fall protection must be provided to any retaining walls that are over 1m high or is considered
                      to posing trip or fall risk to public.
                      Stormwater Drainage
               29.    Stormwater drainage works must be constructed in accordance with the approved plans and
                      must be certified by RPEQ on completion.
               30.    Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including
                      temporary outlets.
               31.    Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage
                      conditions on other properties (eg by blocking, interfering with natural overland flows or
                      causing additional stormwater ponding).
               32.    Construction of all internal stormwater drainage works must comply with the relevant
                      section/s of Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.3.
                      Landscaping Works
               33.    Landscape works must be supervised, undertaken and certified by qualified persons*. All
                      works must be completed in accordance with this Decision Notice.
                      * (Refer to Advisory Note)
               34.    All landscape works must be established and maintained in accordance with the approved
                      design for the life of the development, and in a manner that ensures healthy, sustained and
                      vigorous plant growth. All plant material must be allowed to grow to full form and be
                      refurbished when its life expectancy is reached.
                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               35.    Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in the Environmental Protection Act 1994) 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.
               36.    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
                              practice" 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.
