70.   Landscape planting within 1.5 metres of Council sewerage infrastructure must be Council
      approved varieties and low growing when mature.
71.   The level of the existing sewer manholes must be adjusted to suit the proposed finished

      Easements must be located centrally over the main.
75.   A registered easement shall be created over any stormwater drainage pipes within the site
      that collect stormwater from a Council road or convey stormwater from any adjoining property
      (for example, where drainage pipes are provided within the site to prevent adjacent properties
      from additional ponding/flooding due to the subject site being filled).
76.   No building or other structure shall be constructed or encroach into an easement.
Construction Issues
77.   A Traffic Management Plan for the each construction phase of the development shall be
      submitted to and approved by Council at least 5 working days prior to the commencement of

      Works. The Traffic Management Plan shall be referred to the Divisional Councillor for
      comment before approval and shall include but not be limited to:
