                      business days notice of preferred inspection time.
               8.     If Council officers are required to undertake additional inspections of the same works, a
                      reinspection fee will be applicable in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges register
                      applicable at the time.
               9.     A minimum maintenance period of 12 months will apply to all municipal works and thereafter
                      until such time as the works are performing in accordance with the approved design unless
                      noted otherwise
                      Environmental Advisory Notes
               10.    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
               11.    Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
                      Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control
               12.    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).
               13.    As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if
                      at the time of the final 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.
                      Landscaping
               14.    For the purpose of preparing a Landscape Plan, a qualified person is considered to be a
                      landscape architect, landscape designer and/or horticulturist with a minimum of 3 years
                      current experience in the field of landscape design.
               15.    Public amenity trees are defined as any tree located within public streets, parks or areas that
                      will become publically owned as a result of this development.
                      Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
               16.    There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or obtain
                      approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACH Act).
                      The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: “A person who
                      carries out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the
                      activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage”. It is an offence to fail to comply with the
                      duty of care. Substantial monetary penalties may apply to individuals or corporations
                      breaching this duty of care. Injunctions may also be issued by the Land and Resources
                      Tribunal, and the Minister administering the ACH Act can also issue stop orders for an activity
                      that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural heritage or the cultural heritage value
                      of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
