               3.     Council reserves the right to call up any performance bond held or levy charges against the
                      property, should emergency works be required to be undertaken by Council to make the site
                      safe due to inactivity on the development site for extended periods of time.
               4.     Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of
                      construction constraints, a “Request to change an existing approval” under the Planning Act
                      2016 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this
                      application along with the appropriate fees.
                      Final Inspection Request
               5.     Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a final inspection giving a minimum of 5 business
                      days’ notice of preferred inspection time.
               6.     If Council officers are required to undertake additional inspections of the same works, a
                      reinspection fee will be applicable in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges register
                      applicable at the time.
                      Environmental Advisory Notes
               7.     The Environmental Protection Act 1994 states that a person must not carry out any activity
                      that causes, or is likely to cause, environmental harm unless the person takes all reasonable
                      and practicable measures to prevent or minimise the harm. Environmental harm includes
                      environmental nuisance. In this regard persons and entities, involved in the civil, earthworks,
                      construction and landscaping phases of this development are to adhere to their ‘general
                      environmental duty’ to minimise the risk of causing environmental harm.
                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               8.     Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
                      Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control.
               9.     Qualified Person, for the purpose of erosion and sediment control is a Certified Professional
                      in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) or suitably experienced Registered Professional
                      Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).
               10.    As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if
                      at the time of the plan sealing inspection:
                      a.      Methods of stabilisation are:
                              •    appropriate for slopes and slope lengths; and
                              •    are consistent with best practice environmental management practices such as in
                                   the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control or the IECA Manual; and
                      b.      Stormwater runoff from the site is not currently, and is not likely to result in visible
                              evidence of sedimentation or erosion, or lead to water contamination.
                      Landscaping
               11.    Public amenity trees are defined as any tree located within public streets, parks or areas that
                      will become publicly owned as a result of this development.
                      Road Reserve Permit

                      prescribed works. Any additional activities that are undertaken inside Council’s road reserve
                      for the purpose of acting on this development permit may require a Road Reserve Permit.
