                      f.      have a minimum clearance of 500mm from any Unitywater/Energex/Telstra asset,
                              unless a written approval is obtained from Unitywater/Energex/Telstra and submitted
                              to Council; and
                      g.      The property access must be located a minimum of 1m clear of existing power poles,
                              streetlights or other signage. The developer is responsible for any necessary relocation
                              of existing services to provide this clearance and must contact the relevant service
                              authorities and comply with their requirements in relation to these works.
                      Retaining Walls
               21.    Fall protection must be provided to retaining walls where either:
                      a.      the vertical fall from the pedestrian-accessible side of a retaining wall to the lower level
                              exceeds 1.0 m at any point; or
                      b.      the wall is within Council Road reserve or other Council-controlled land.
                      Stormwater Drainage
               22.    Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including
                      temporary outlets.
               23.    Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage
                      conditions on other properties (eg by blocking or interfering with natural overland flows).
               24.    Construction of all internal stormwater drainage works must comply with the relevant
                      section/s of Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.3.
               25.    Any proposed surface drainage grate must be located wholly within private property.
                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               26.    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.
               27.    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.
               28.    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.
