d. 1 in 2 for combined structural engineering and planting solutions.
Stormwater Drainage
28. Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including
temporary outlets.
29. Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage
conditions on other properties (e.g. by blocking or interfering with natural overland flows).
30. Construction of all internal stormwater drainage works must comply with the relevant
section/s of Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.3.
31. Prior to the completion of the development, 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 (refer to E&SC Advisory Notes).
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.
Erosion and Sediment Control
32. 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.
33. 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,

Document Set ID: 25050577
Version: 5, Version Date: 12/08/2026
Page 12
34. Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be
found inefficient.
35. 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).
36. 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.
37. 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.
38. 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.

Tribunal, and the Minister administering the ACH Act can also issue stop orders for an activity
that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural heritage or the cultural heritage value
of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
