2020-10-21 Final Order - Approval Conditions and Approved Plans - P&E Appeal No 61 of 2018 - RAL17-0504

Ecological
30.   The Applicant is required to prepare a Vegetation Management Plan (VMP). The VMP
      is to clearly identify the extent of all development works, and particularly trees to be
      retained and removed. The VMP is to be submitted with a development application for
      operational work. The VMP must be implemented prior to sealing of the plan of survey.
      The VMP is to be prepared by a suitably qualified and experienced ecologist and
      address the following:
      a)     provide arborists advice seeking to minimise the loss of trees in close proximity to
             development works;
      b)     the fire-trail within proposed Lot 1 is to be constructed to minimize tree removal,
             and must avoid impacts to eucalypts where possible;
      c)     a fauna spotter be on site during tree clearing works;
      d)     any necessary removal of any gums (eucalypts) are to be replaced at a ratio of
             3:1 (i.e. replant 3 trees for every 1 removed). This compensatory planting is to be
             provided in the western portion of proposed Lot 1 and beyond the fire trail (a
             planting plan which identifies planting locations and species is to be prepared);
      e)     weed management is to be undertaken on the western portion of proposed Lot 1;
      f)     the natural regeneration of the western part of the site (i.e. outside the bushfire
             management area) shall be allowed to occur;
      g)     any boundary fencing for proposed Lot 1 must be fauna friendly;
      h)     erosion control measures (standard best practice) to be implemented where
             necessary for any earthworks;
      i)     installation of four nest boxes (e.g. 1 x glider, 1 x possum and 2 x parrot) is required
             in trees within the western portion of the site to compensate for the lack of hollows
             in the local landscape.
Community Management Statement
31.   The community management statement for the proposed development must, at all
      times, contain provisions requiring strict compliance by the owners and occupiers of the
      proposed lots with the approved FEMP. The community management statement must
      be submitted to the Council at the time of sealing of the plan of survey.
Owners responsible for Body Corporate
32.   The owners of the proposed lots, including successive landowners must, jointly and
      severely, ensure that the requirements of these conditions to be carried out by the Body
      Corporate or for which the Body Corporate is responsible, are complied with.
Water & Sewer Connections
33.   An underground connection to reticulated water and sewerage must be provided to each
      lot in accordance with the standards and requirements of Northern SEQ Distributor–
      Retailer Authority (Unitywater).
34.   A Certificate of Completion from the Northern SEQ Distributor–Retailer Authority
      (Unitywater) must be submitted to Council that certifies an underground connection to
      reticulated water and sewerage has been provided to each lot OR the development site
      (for MCUs).
Boundary Encroachments
35.   Certification must be submitted from a Licensed Surveyor which certifies that:
