               37.    Offsite run-off must be diverted around exposed soils on the site without entraining additional
                      sediments. Discharge from measures to divert the offsite water must not cause run-off
                      impacts to other properties.
               38.    The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in
                      accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current best practice
                      standards *.
                      *(Refer to Advisory Note)
               39.    The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the
                      extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather
                      conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and prior
                      to rainfall occurring.
               40.    The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining
                      properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles and/or
                      machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and sediment control
                      measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including vehicle shakedown
                      pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where sediments or other
                      contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s
                      drainage system or waterways.
               FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION
                      Certification
               41.    Upon completion of the work and prior to the final inspection by Council, a certificate must
                      be issued by an RPEQ certifying that the works have been constructed in accordance with
                      the Operational Works permit.
               42.    All landscape works must be maintained generally in accordance with the approved design
                      for the life of the development.
               43.    Prior to commencement of use and requesting the release of bond* the following (prepared
                      by respective qualified persons* and certifying compliance with approvals) must be submitted
                      to Council:
                      a.      Landscaping certification.
                      b.      Arborist Report documenting, with photographs of any excavations in tree protection
                              zones and certifying the findings and outcome of the arboreal risk assessment.
                      *(Refer to Advisory Notes)
                      Final Inspection
               44.    A final inspection and approval of the completed works and reinstatement works by Council’s
                      Inspector is required. Please contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange for the inspection.
               45.    A re-inspection fee in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charge Register will be charged
                      where:
                      a.      A Council inspection reveals works do not comply with approval requirements.
                      b.      Submitted certification falsely states works comply with approval requirements
