                        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.
                                If at the time of request for plan sealing, the method of short-term stabilisation has
                                not achieved a level of stability that Council's Officers believe will have a high
                                probability of achieving long term stability (i.e. until house construction has
                                occurred on all lots), Council Officers may take the following matters into
                                consideration in determining whether the site is capable of achieving medium to
                                long-term stability:
                                •      evidence that the site has been effectively stabilised in the short term;
                                •      evidence that soil has been adequately ameliorated;
                                •      evidence that seed of annual and perennial grass species has been applied
                                       at an adequate rate; and
                                •      that grass seed has germinated at a density that is likely to achieve an
                                       effective grass cover.
                        Resubmission of Amended Documents Required
                 15.    The conditions of this Decision Notice require resubmission of the referenced
                        Landscape Plans to Council with amendments. Please address the amended document
                        to Council’s Planning Assessment Branch with the Reference No. MCU21/0182, prior to
                        the Operational Works pre-start as detailed within conditions included within the

                        advised that the required Operational Works pre-start meeting will not be approved.
                        Retention of Existing Trees
                 16.    The existing trees on adjoining properties must be retained and protected during
                        construction wherever achievable. To avoid doubt, this advisory note is not intended to
                        exclude the operation of Chapter 3 of the Neighbourhood Dispute Resolution Act 2011
                        following construction of the development which is the subject of this development
