site details
Background
The earthworks on the site are preparation works for the proposed dwelling (under MCU21/0036 approval). The volume of earthworks have triggered the need for an Operational Works approval. It is noted that the cut and fill works have already been completed on the site.
Site Description
The site is located in sandy soil with balanced cut to fill and no external material brought to site. The site has been recently cleared of vegetation for the house site under a higher order approval (MCU21/0036). The site is located lower than the street so the site is unable to discharge stormwater to Pheasant Lane. With the property backing onto a nature reserve with a stream located behind the property and only one neighbouring property located to the west (uphill), stormwater runoff will be conditioned to be discharged onsite without impacting any neighbouring properties. Erosion and sediment control risk is low with the site located in sandy soil however the standard erosion and sediment control conditions will be included.

CURRENCY PERIOD of approval
The currency period for this development approval is stated in the conditions below.
assessment manager conditions
APPROVED PLANS
Development undertaken in accordance with this approval must generally comply with the approved plans of development. The approved plans are listed in the following table unless otherwise amended by these conditions.
Plan No.	Rev.	Plan/Document Name	Date
18-1602	E	Site Plan as prepared by Burns Builders and annotated by Applicant	10 March 2021
CURRENCY PERIOD
The Currency Period for this development approval lapses if the development has not substantially started by 17 December 2023, unless an application to extend the currency period is approved by Council.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
Engineering
All works must be constructed and work procedure undertaken in accordance with:
The approved plans/documents and conditions detailed in this Decision Notice;
All relevant Noosa Council Planning Scheme Policies, standard drawings, standard specifications and guidelines; and
The latest version of the Healthy Waterways document “Water Sensitive Urban Design Technical Design Guidelines for South East Queensland” for all water quality devices to be constructed on site.
Earthworks and Retaining Walls
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 the standard.
Slope and batters are a maximum grade of:
1 in 4 for grassed areas.
1 in 3 for planted areas
1 in 2 for combined structural engineering and planting solutions.
Stormwater Drainage
Stormwater must be discharged onsite in a manner that does not cause erosion or negatively impact on neighbouring properties.
Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including temporary outlets.
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).
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
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.
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:
Been duly designed by an RPEQ or CPESC and constructed in accordance with "best practise" methods,
Been revised by an RPEQ or CPESC to address the issues raised by changes in the projected construction schedule and/or methods,
Been revised to address predicted rainfall events, and
Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be found inefficient.
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).
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.
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.
Prior to the completion of the development and commencement of use, all site surfaces must be effectively stabilised using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation and which will continue to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium to long-term. For the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that does not, or is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion or lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination.
Damage to Services and Assets
Any damage caused to existing services and assets as a result of the development works must be repaired at no cost to the asset owner at the following times:
Where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety, immediately; or
Where otherwise, upon completion of the works associated with the development.
Any repair work which proposes to alter the alignment or level of existing services and assets must first be referred to the relevant service authority for approval.
FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION
Upon completion of the work a final inspection and approval of the completed works by Councils Engineering Officer will be required. Please contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange for the inspection.

Advisory notes
The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part of the assessment manager conditions:
General Advisory Notes
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.
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.
Prestart, On and Off Maintenance Inspections Request
Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5 business days’ notice of preferred inspection time.
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.
A minimum maintenance period of 12 months will apply to all municipal works and thereafter until such time as the works are performing in accordance with the approved design unless noted otherwise
Environmental Advisory Notes
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
Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control
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).
As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if at the time of the plan sealing inspection:
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
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.
If at the time of request for plan sealing, the method of short-term stabilisation has not achieved a level of stability that Council's Officers believe will have a high probability of achieving long term stability (i.e. until house construction has occurred on all lots), Council Officers may take the following matters into consideration in determining whether the site is capable of achieving medium to long-term stability:
evidence that the site has been effectively stabilised in the short term;
evidence that soil has been adequately ameliorated;
evidence that seed of annual and perennial grass species has been applied at an adequate rate; and
that grass seed has germinated at a density that is likely to achieve an effective grass cover.
