                        Erosion and Sediment Control
                 61.    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.
                 62.    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.
                 63.    The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained
                        in accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current best practice
                        standards * (Refer to Advisory Note).
                 64.    The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the
                        extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather
                        conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and
                        prior to rainfall occurring.
                 65.    The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining
                        properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles
                        and/or machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and
                        sediment control measures throughout the site during all phases of construction
                        including vehicle shakedown pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site.
                        Where sediments or other contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed
                        so as not to enter Council’s drainage system or waterways.
                 66.    Prior to the completion of the development and commencement of use, 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.
