services installation and landscaping) and detail the type, location, sequence and
timing of measures and actions to effectively minimise erosion, manage flows and
capture sediment;
c. be consistent with current best practice standards to the extent that the standards are
not inconsistent with the conditions of approval and taking into account all
environmental constraints including erosion hazard, season, climate, soil, and
proximity to waterways;
d. provide sufficient detail regarding the manner in which compliance with all conditions
of this permit relating to E&SC is to be achieved;
e. include details of proposed flocculants and automatic dosing systems for sediment

Page 23 of 31
Document Set ID: 23876458
Version: 4, Version Date: 09/07/2025
Section 25
flocculant having regard to the downstream receiving environment and water quality;
and
f. include the results of all soil investigations undertaken for the site and on which the
E&SCP is based
64. Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in the Environmental Protection Act 1994) 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. These measures must be
designed, implemented and maintained in accordance with “Best Practice Erosion and
Sediment Control” published by the International Erosion Control Association (Australasian
Chapter) (IECA, 2008), to the extent that such measures and practices are also consistent
with the following:
a. Minimise Erosion
i. Restrict the extent of clearing to that necessary for access to and safe
construction of the approved works;
ii. Protect vegetation in all other areas of the site;
iii. Minimise the duration of soil exposure by undertaking land clearing and
stabilisation according to the rainfall erosion hazard as specified in IECA (2008)
Tables 4.4.2 and 4.4.7
iv. Prior to either the approval of the plan of survey for the development or
commencement of use, all site surfaces are to be effectively stabilised using
methods that 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.
b. Manage concentrated stormwater flows
i. Implement drainage and erosion control measures (including contingency
measures), prior to rainfall, which prevent or minimise rill erosion and gully
erosion.
ii. Ensure clean stormwater is diverted/managed around or through the site without
increasing the concentration of total suspended solids or other contaminants in
the flow and without causing erosion (on-site or off-site). If it is not feasible to
divert all areas discharging clean stormwater around or through the site, the clean
stormwater runoff is managed in the same manner as contaminated stormwater
runoff and ensures that sediment basins are sized to accommodate the additional
volume of runoff.
iii. Prior to each rainfall event ensure concentrated stormwater flow paths are
provided with capacity in accordance with IECA (2008) Table 4.3.1 and do not
cause water contamination, rill or gully erosion, sedimentation or damage to
structures or property
c. Minimise sediment released from the site
i. All site sub-catchments greater than 2,500m2 in area, are to be provided with
sediment controls which are designed, implemented and maintained to a
standard which would achieve at least 80% of the average annual runoff volume
of the contributing catchment treated (i.e. 80% hydrological effectiveness) to
50mg/L Total Suspended Solids (TSS) or less, and pH in the range 6.5–8.5.
Where this is proposed to be achieved through the use of sediment basins, the
following applies:

A. each basin is sized and operated in accordance with either a Type-A or
Type-B sediment basin as documented in IECA (2008) Appendix B (June
2018), based on the contributing catchment area including undisturbed
catchments which cannot be diverted;
B. each basin is to be provided with an automated system of flocculant dosing
and a suitable supply of flocculant/coagulant, with the type of
flocculant/coagulant determined based on Chemical Coagulants and
Flocculants Fact Sheet (IECA, 2018);
C. markers are provided within each basin indicating the maximum sediment
storage level and any additional water storage capacity for water reuse
D. during discharge from the primary outlet system, the concentration of total
suspended solids (TSS) discharged does not exceed 50mg/L and that pH
is within the range of 6.5-8.54. These discharge standards apply equally to
any intentional release of any water captured or stored within the site;
E. The hydraulic structures such as inlets, outlets, spillways must be
structurally sound for the design events as specified in IECA (2008); and
F. The sediment basin is to be constructed and operational before any
disturbance occurs in the catchment upslope of the basin. Accumulated
sediment from basins and other controls is to be removed and disposed of
appropriately without causing water contamination.
ii. For site sub-catchments less than 2,500m2 in area and where it is not feasible to
divert runoff from these small disturbed areas of the site to a sediment basin,
compensatory erosion and sediment controls are implemented prior to rainfall to
ensure that erosion of those of areas is minimised and Type 2 or Type 3 sediment
controls are provided in accordance with IECA (2008).
iii. Controls are to be installed to minimise the tracking of dirt from the site onto
roadways. Any dirt on roadways caused by vehicles leaving the site is to be
removed without causing water contamination, prior to rainfall and at least at the
end of each work day.
d. Manage works within waterways
i. Waterways, including perennial and permanent waterways, are not to be altered,
nor riparian (including rehabilitated) vegetation disturbed without prior written
approval of the relevant administering authority.
ii. Work within waterways is to be:-
A. only undertaken during the lower rainfall months;
B. promptly rehabilitated conforming to the natural channel form, substrates
and riparian vegetation as far as possible; and
C. undertaken in accordance with Best Practice Erosion and Sediment
Control, Appendix I – Instream works, Sections 14 and 16, (International
Erosion Control Association, 2008).
iii. Temporary vehicular crossings of waterways are to be designed and constructed
to convey flows for the 63%AEP and remain stable for all rainfall events up to the
10% AEP event of critical duration.
iv. ESCs are not to be constructed within the riparian buffer zone, unless it is not
feasible to site them elsewhere, and then only within cleared areas.
5. REFERRAL AGENCIES
Not applicable.

6. ADVISORY NOTES
The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part
of the assessment manager conditions:
MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE & RECONFIGURING A LOT (MCU23/0094 & RAL23/0014)
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
1. There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or obtain
approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACH Act).
The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: “A person who
carries out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the
activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage”. It is an offence to fail to comply with the
duty of care. Substantial monetary penalties may apply to individuals or corporations
breaching this duty of care. Injunctions may also be issued by the Land and Resources
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.
You should contact the Cultural Heritage Unit to discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.
Equitable Access and Facilities
2. The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance with the
requirements of the National Construction Code - Building Code of Australia (Volume 1) as
they relate to people with disabilities. Your attention is also directed to the fact that in addition
to the requirements of the National Construction Code as they relate to people with
disabilities, one or more of the following may impact on the proposed building work:
a. the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
b. the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
c. the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
Advertising Devices
3. All Advertising Devices must comply with Schedule 10 of Subordinate Local Law No.1
(Administration) 2015 including both temporary and permanent signage. All freestanding,
pylon or pole signs or signage that is illuminated requires approval from Council prior to being
installed. All signage identified in s6 of Schedule 10 of Subordinate Local Law No. 1 is
prohibited from being erected in the Shire.
Development Compliance Inspection
4. Prior to the commencement of the use, please contact Council's Development Assessment
Branch to arrange a Development Compliance Inspection.
Nature and Extent of Approved Development
5. The assessment of this development was based on a proposal having a plot ratio of 0.5:1,
as depicted on the Approved Plans and conditioned.
6. Should the outstanding matters raised in this approval be addressed to Council’s satisfaction,
Council may change the approval to a Development Permit through the Negotiated Decision
Notice process.
Submission of Amended Plans Required (as required by MCU23/0094 & RAL23/0014)
7. The conditions of this Decision Notice require resubmission of plan/s to Council with
amendments as per the Material Change of Use and Reconfiguring a Lot Development.
Please address the amended plan/s to Council’s Development Assessment Branch.
The revised plans are to be provided to Council for review and approval prior to the
issue of Building Approval.

Section 28
Sustainability
8. Council encourages sustainable and energy efficient building design for all development,
including the use of sustainable building materials, energy efficient fittings, solar hot water,
photovoltaic systems (including the use of inverter/charges), solar panels, water saving
devices and rainwater harvesting.
OPERATIONAL WORKS (OPW23/0113)
General Advisory Notes
9. Council has undertaken an audit check of the Operational Works drawings in relations to the
proposed works. A detailed check of the calculations and drawings has not been undertaken,
as they have been certified by a RPEQ. The RPEQ bears full responsibility for all aspects of
the engineering design. Council reserves the right to require further amendments and/or
additions at a later date should design errors become apparent.
10. Council reserves the right to call up any performance bond held or levy charges against the
property, should emergency works be required to be undertaken by Council to make the site
safe due to inactivity on the development site for extended periods of time.
11. Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of
construction constraints, a “Request to change an existing approval” under the Planning Act
2016 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this
application along with the appropriate fees.
Nature and Extent of Approval (OPW- Landscaping, Drainage, Stormwater)
12. Deleted.
Prestart, On and Off Maintenance Inspections Request
13. Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5
business days notice of preferred inspection time.
14. If Council officers are required to undertake additional inspections of the same works, a
reinspection fee will be applicable in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges register
applicable at the time.
15. A minimum maintenance period of 12 months will apply to all municipal works and thereafter
until such time as the works are performing in accordance with the approved design unless
noted otherwise.
16. Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control.
17. 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).
18. 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 final inspection, 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, Council Officers may take the following
matters into consideration in determining whether the site is capable of achieving
medium to long-term stability:
Page 27 of 31
Document Set ID: 23876458
Version: 4, Version Date: 09/07/2025
Section 29
• 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.
Retention of Existing Trees
19. 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 approval.
Removal of Existing Trees and Vegetation
20. Stockpiling mulch to the appropriate volume and separation is required for fire mitigation as
well as optimum weed seed sterilisation.
Qualified Person
21. Qualified Person, for the purpose of:
a. Supervising landscape works and preparing a landscape certification, is considered to
be a landscape architect, landscape designer or horticulturist with a minimum of three
years current experience in the field of landscape design.
