Building operations

Prior to commencing building work

¢ Obtain all necessary permits, licences and approvals.

¢ Prepare a site specific Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) Management Plan and have all necessary
ESC materials available.

e Avoid clearing vegetation and excavating until ready to build.

© Where necessary in new estates, temporary revegetation may be required.

Points to consider as part of building operations

* Tool and paint washing, brick, tile or masonry cutting and water-cooled cutting activities should be done
within the property boundaries.

¢ — All waste water should be contained on-site where possible.
¢ Activities should be carried out on a permeable surface or up-slope of an infiltration trench.

¢ — Vehicles should not be parked on the footpath area or verge where they can damage essential vegetation
and transport dirt onto the road.

¢ Contain waste concrete washed from trucks, mixers and barrows on site; do not wash out into stormwater
systems as this can clog drains and cause flooding during storm events.

  

All hard waste should be stored on-site in a way that prevents material loss caused by wind or water. Smaller

materials such as litter should be contained in covered bins or litter traps formed on three sides by a geotextile
wind break or similar device.

 

When travelling to and from the site, secure load to prevent wind blown litter polluting our waterways and roadsides.

 

One way to properly store building waste Poor litter and building waste storage

Remove accidental spills of soil or other materials from the road,

gutter or any location outside the control of the primary sediment

barrier:

¢ immediately if it is raining or likely to rain during the day

* at least upon completion of the day's work (even if rainfall is
unlikely during the night)

* use a broom and shovel instead of hosing to clean hard surfaces,

* clean up food packaging after meal breaks as this litter can enter
stormwater systems and waterways.

 

Following storms, the road reserve and sediment barriers should be Undertake regular site clean-ups
inspected and excess sediment residue removed.
