                                                                                                                      Including amendments to 3 July 2017
                                                                                                          The Noosa Plan
14.115 Earthworks Code
         The provisions in this division comprise the Earthworks Code. They are—

            compliance with the Earthworks Code (section 14.117);
            overall outcomes for the Earthworks Code (section 14.118); and
            specific outcomes, acceptable solutions and probable solutions (sections 14.119—
             14.120.

14.116 Compliance with the Earthworks Code
         Development that is consistent with the specific outcomes in sections 14.119—14.120
         complies with the Earthworks Code.

14.117 Overall outcomes for the Earthworks Code

14.117.1 The overall outcomes are the purpose of the Earthworks Code.

14.117.2 The overall outcomes sought for the Earthworks Code are the following—
a)   To ensure that earthworks do not unreasonably impact on the natural environment or other
     properties with regard to—
               i     land stability (including differential settlement or expansion in reactive soils);
               ii    contamination of land;
               iii   flooding and drainage;
               iv    groundwater, watercourses and wetlands;
               v     loss of native remnant or regrowth vegetation; and
b)   Earthworks are designed and constructed to be structurally sound.

14.118 Specific outcomes, probable solutions and acceptable solutions for
       the Earthworks Code
         The specific outcomes sought for the Earthworks Code are included in column 1 of Table
         14-52. Acceptable solutions for accepted development subject to requirements and
         probable solutions for code assessment development are included in column 2 of Table
         14-52.

                 column 1                                            column 2
             Specific Outcomes                           Acceptable solutions (if accepted
                                                       development subject to requirements)
                                                      Probable solutions (if code assessment)
14.119 Effects of works
Drainage
O1 Finished surface levels ensure land is free     S1.1 The finished surface gradient of any filled
draining.                                          or excavated area is within the range 0.5% to
                                                   1.5% and drains to Council’s stormwater
                                                   infrastructure where available or where
                                                   stormwater infrastructure is not available,
                                                   toward the street.
Hydraulics
O2 Any change to the level of the land does        No solution provided.
