               3.     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.
                      Environmental Advisory Notes
               4.     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
               5.     Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
                      Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control.
               6.     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).
               7.     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.
                      Road Reserve Permit
               8.     This development permit provides the applicant with written authority to undertake the
                      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.
                      These additional activities may include, but are not limited to, hoarding, pedestrian
                      diversions, laneway closures, etc. To apply for a Road Reserve Permit, or for more
                      information, Contact Council’s Road Reserve Officer at [email protected] Act 2014 – Fire Ant Control
               9.     Developers must remain vigilant for the presence of fire ants. Under the Biosecurity Act 2014,
                      individuals and businesses are responsible for ensuring that they follow the movement
                      controls for specific organic materials to help prevent the spread of fire ants within South
                      East Queensland’s fire ant biosecurity zones. Movement of a fire ant carrier from within a fire
                      ant biosecurity zone may need a biosecurity instrument permit. More information is available
                      on https://www.fireants.org.au/treat/business-andindustry/movement-controls
