                      Earthworks and Retaining Walls
               24.    All earthworks shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of AS 3798 Guidelines
                      on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development, with geotechnical testing
                      undertaken in accordance with Section 8 of the Standard, and to a minimum of ‘Level 1’ as
                      defined in Appendix B. Test results as required by AS 3798, and a certificate of quality and
                      uniformity of fill shall be provided by a RPEQ and submitted to Council prior to Council signing
                      the Plan of Survey.
               25.    All earthworks and associated batters/retaining structures, both above and below ground
                      level, both temporary and permanent, must be contained entirely within the subject site
                      unless written permission from the respective landowner(s) is provided to Council.
               26.    Fall protection must be provided to retaining walls that are over 1m high.
               27.    Slope and batters are a maximum grade of:
                      a.      1 in 6 where in proximity to waterbodies
                      b.      1 in 4 for grassed areas.
                      c.      1 in 3 for planted areas.
                      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,
                      c.      Been revised to address predicted rainfall events, and
                      d.      Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.



                                                                                                            Page 11 of 19
