barrier, issuance of the standard UXO warning (see Condition 2) may suffice while the structure, stockpile or
barrier remains in place. Where a structure is to be removed or reduced as part of the development program,
protective precautions, commensurate with any greater risk to which workers might then be exposed, may need
to be considered. Progressive assessment will be necessary where such circumstances exist. Unless, at the
completion of preliminary works, there is evidence then available to the UXO contractor that any residual risk is
negligible, the use of detection equipment will typically be required to confirm the site’s status.

Where investigation, along with any subsequent remedial action and assessment, is to be implemented by
stages to satisfy Conditions 1 and 4, a preliminary investigation report should be submitted by the applicant to
DERM along with a management plan for the proposed work. Staged investigation/remediation is most likely to
be applicable where development of smaller, built-on lots (which can present circumstances such as those
discussed above) or broadhectare sites is proposed. In such cases, DERM's assessment of the report and advice
to Council in regard to approval of the development will be dependent on agreement with the management plan.

Where Condition 1 is to be satisfied by a whole lot or broadhectare development stage being subjected to
investigation and any necessary remedial action, DERM, based on the subsequent investigation/remediation
report's findings and recommendation/s, may reassess the lot, or that portion comprising the development stage,
as being remediated or not needing remediation, and advise the applicant and Council accordingly. Otherwise, any
balance of land that has not been further investigated will retain the risk assessment made by Defence and
DERM's Area Management Advice will continue to apply. This is unless evidence obtained from the investigated
part/s can be used to refute Defence’s assessment in regard to all or part of the balance. In the latter case, DERM
may reassess all of the balance or the applicable part/s as being unaffected by UXO.
