                      Environmental Advisory Notes
               8.     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
               9.     Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
                      Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control
               10.    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).
               11.    As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if
                      at the time of the plan sealing 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.
                              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.
