Negotiated Decision Notice MCU20 0071 · MCU20/0071

94.   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.
95.   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.
96.   A log book for the Erosion and Sediment Control measures and inspections must be
      maintained by the site manager and made readily available to Council when requested. The
      supervising engineer must verify and endorsed the E&SC measures upon their installation,
      and periodically check these measures and the log book during construction and the
      stabilisation stages. Any defects in erosion and sediment control devices, such as sediment
      fences, are to be inspected and documented. Upon Inspection, the contractor is to determine
      whether the device should be replaced or repaired. Documentation is to include how the
      damage was caused and what measures can be implemented to reduce the possibility of
      repeat occurrences. Any damage to either permanent or temporary water quality control
      structures or devices is to be immediately rectified at the contractor’s expense.
      The effectiveness of the erosion and sediment control devices must be monitored. All ESC
      measures are to be inspected:
      a.    at least daily (when work is occurring on site) or weekly (when work is not occurring on
            site); or
      b.    within 24 hours of expected rain; or
      c.    within 18 hours of a rainfall event (i.e. an event of sufficient intensity and duration to
            mobilise sediment on site).
97.   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.
      Landscaping
98.   The development site must be landscaped. The works must be undertaken in accordance
      with the approved plans and Noosa Plan 2020 Planning Scheme Policy PSP2 Landscaping
      for the Tewantin area.
99.   Existing vegetation in the road reserve must be retained, unless written authorisation from
      Council is granted for the clearing.
100. Trees to be retained must be protected from clearing or construction activities by:
      a.    clearly marking vegetation to be retained with flagging tape
      b.    installing protective fencing around the drip line of the vegetation
      c.    restricting stockpiling, storage and vehicle parking to those areas which are already
            cleared
      d.    using low impact construction techniques around vegetation.
101. A minimum of 7 street trees (in total) are to be provided along the Toolar and Moorindil Street
     frontages. The location of the street trees within the road reserve is to be confirmed in
     consultation with Council at the pre-start meeting. Street trees are to be of a species that
     does not impact on services or Council infrastructure.
