Stormwater Drainage
65. Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including
temporary outlets.
66. Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage
conditions on other properties (eg by blocking or interfering with natural overland flows).
67. 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
68. 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. These
measures must be designed, implemented and maintained in accordance with “Best Practice
Erosion and Sediment Control” published by the International Erosion Control Association
(Australasian Chapter) (IECA, 2008), to the extent that such measures and practices are also
consistent with the following:
a. Minimise Erosion
i. For areas of the site which drain to a sediment basin, implement drainage and
erosion control measures prior to rainfall which prevent or minimise rill erosion
and gully erosion
ii. For areas of the site which do not drain to a sediment basin, implement drainage
and erosion control measures prior to rainfall (including contingency measures)
which prevent or minimise erosion, including rain drop erosion, chemical erosion,
rill erosion and gully erosion
iii. Prior to the final inspection for the development, 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.
b. Manage concentrated stormwater flows
i. Prior to each rainfall event ensure concentrated stormwater flow paths are
provided with capacity in accordance with IECA (2008) Table 4.3.1 and are
structurally stable in all rainfall events for the following sources:
(a) From stormwater catchments upslope of the area of disturbance
which are either stable or external to the site, ensure stormwater is diverted
or managed either:
i. around the site or through the site without causing erosion and
without contaminating the flow; or
ii. if it is impractical to convey the flows around or through the site,
convey the flows into appropriately sized sediment basins without
causing erosion
(b) From all disturbed areas of the site to sediment basin(s) without causing
erosion
Page 10 of 18
Document Set ID: 24329699
Version: 3, Version Date: 24/11/2025
Page 11
c. Minimise sediment released from the site
i. Install and maintain additional sediment control measures within the site, as
necessary to maximise sediment capture.
ii. Minimise the tracking of material from the site onto roadways. Ensure that all
material on roadways caused by vehicles leaving the site is removed without
causing water contamination, prior to rainfall and at least at the end of each work
day.
69. 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:
a. Been duly designed by an RPEQ or CPESC and constructed in accordance with "best
practise" methods,
b. Been revised by an RPEQ or CPESC to address the issues raised by changes in the
projected construction schedule and/or methods,
c. Been revised to address predicted rainfall events, and
d. Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be
found inefficient.
70. Drainage paths must be regularly inspected to ensure the sediment fences/measures are not
being bypassed as a result of sediment build up. Sediment laden runoff must be prevented
from leaving the subject site and entering neighbouring properties and/or stormwater
systems.
71. Soil exposure must be limited on the site to a distance of no more than 2m beyond the extent
of earthworks shown on the approved plans except where the exposed soil is effectively
stabilised without delay and prior to rainfall occurring.
72. A log book for the Erosion and Sediment Control measures and inspections must be
maintained by the site manager and made readily available to Council when requested. The
supervising engineer must verify and endorsed the E&SC measures upon their installation,
and periodically check these measures and the log book during construction and the
stabilisation stages. Any defects in erosion and sediment control devices, such as sediment
fences, are to be inspected and documented. Upon Inspection, the contractor is to determine
whether the device should be replaced or repaired. Documentation is to include how the
damage was caused and what measures can be implemented to reduce the possibility of
repeat occurrences. Any damage to either permanent or temporary water quality control
structures or devices is to be immediately rectified at the contractor’s expense.
The effectiveness of the erosion and sediment control devices must be monitored. All ESC
measures are to be inspected:
a. at least daily (when work is occurring on site) or weekly (when work is not occurring on
site); or
b. within 24 hours of expected rain; or
c. within 18 hours of a rainfall event (i.e. an event of sufficient intensity and duration to
mobilise sediment on site).
Landscape
73. Landscape works must be undertaken in accordance with this Decision Notice.
Page 11 of 18
Document Set ID: 24329699
Version: 3, Version Date: 24/11/2025
Page 12
74. All landscape works must be established and maintained in accordance with the approved
design for the life of the development, and in a manner that ensures healthy, sustained and
vigorous plant growth. All plant material must be allowed to grow to full form and be
refurbished when its life expectancy is reached.
Damage to Services and Assets
75. 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:
a. where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety, immediately;
or
b. 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 / PRIOR TO THE COMMENCMENT OF THE USE
Certification
76. Upon completion of the work a certificate must be issued by an RPEQ certifying that the
works have been constructed in accordance with the Operational Works permit.
Bonds
77. Bonds must:
a. meet the requirements of council’s relevant Planning Scheme Policy for performance
and uncompleted works.
b. be calculated using a schedule of works and relevant bond equation
c. have approval of the bond calculations and amount from Council prior to lodgement
d. be requested for release by writing to Council, when relevant approval requirements
have been met.
