DOONELLA ST, TEWANTIN
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Jurisevic provided the following
declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Jurisevic declare I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as the matter is a planning
application for a Doonella St property that is at least in part owned by Chris Wright, as I understand it.
My family and I have had a close relationship with Chris Wright and his family over the years that we
have lived in Tewantin. The nature of the relationship stems from my wife having worked for Chris’
wife, Kelly and in the same office where Chris’ business is located. Kelly was also the Treasurer of the
Sunshine Beach State High School P&C during my term as P&C President. My wife and I attended
Chris and Kelly’s wedding as well as several social gatherings at each other’s houses over the years
as our children were close friends and attended the same playgroup and schools growing up. As a
result of my conflict I will leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.

supervising Erosion and Sediment Control management) to undertake weekly site
visits to inspect and certify whether or not required Erosion and Sediment controls are
properly installed and maintained to achieve the requirements on this approval.
93. Construction must be managed such that less than 2,500m2 of soil is exposed at any
time.
94. Exposed soil is only permitted between the months of May to October, and all
catchments with these soils must drain to sediment treatment features to achieve

Page 22 of 26
Section 23
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES 14 FEBRUARY 2022
the first rain event forecast following initial tree clearing or removal of soil stabilising
material for each stage. At the hold point inspection, all required sediment basins,
drains and bunds to divert waters away from disturbed soil or soils about to become
exposed through cut to fill activities must be installed. All areas that will not require
earthworks in the imminent cut to fill operation must be stabilised to prevent
entrainment of sediments into receiving waters.
96. Cut to fill earthworks must not commence until after the Supervising CPESC has
certified that all installed erosion and sediment controls required by this approval are
sized in accordance with conditions of the approval and the written acceptance of the
certification is provided to the supervising RPEQ by Council officers.

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.
98. 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.
99. Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures
be found inefficient.

maintained in accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current
best practice standards * (Refer to Advisory Note).
101. 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.
102. The developer in conjunction with the engaged CPESC must ensure measures
installed to divert the upstream water are designed and certified by the supervising
RPEQ and installed prior to commencement of bulk earthworks.
103. 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.
Page 23 of 26
Section 24
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES 14 FEBRUARY 2022
104. Prior to the completion of the development, all site surfaces must be effectively
stabilised. For the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined

sheet, rill or gully erosion or lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination.
Water Sensitive Design
105. The active filter media of the bioretention device must be 27m². Active filter media area
is the area of the bioretention basin surface that is not covered by any impermeable
structure such as a sediment forebay, riser, etc.
106. During construction and establishment of the bioretention devices, the supervising
RPEQ must certify forms contained in section 3.15 of the Construction and
Establishment Guidelines: Swales, Bioretention Systems and Wetlands (Water by
Design, 2009). These forms and certification must be submitted to council prior to the
sealing of the survey plan.

bioretention device underdrainage pipe work is installed. At the time of inspection, a
sample of the drainage layer, transition layer, and filtration media materials must be
stockpiled onsite accompanied by laboratory results that demonstrate that the media
complies with the specifications contained in the latest version of the Guidelines for
Soil Filter Media in Bioretention Systems (Facility for Advancing Water Biofiltration) and
that the minimum hydraulic conductivity of 180mm/hr or as specified on the approved
engineering plans will be achieved. The drainage layer, transition layer, and filtration
media materials shall not be installed until the catchment draining to the bioretention
device has 80% groundcover as determined by council’s delegate.
108. Eighty percent (80%) of the catchment flowing to the bioretention basin must be
effectively stabilised prior to the construction holdpoint for the Bioretention device.
