 undertaken in a manner that ensures:

              1. natural hydrological systems are protected from
                 erosion, scour or flood damage on the premises
                 or other premises;
              2. natural landforms and drainage lines are
                 maintained to protect the hydraulic performance
                 of waterways and flood plain; and
              3. development integrates with the natural
                 landform rather than modifying the landform to
                 suit the development as far as practicable.
