               2.     APPLICATION BACKGROUND
               The application sets out to address the conditions of the higher order approval (RAL24/0003).
               3.     SITE DETAILS
               3.1. Site Description
               The subject site is an irregular shaped, ~24,795m2 lot. The lot generally grades to the north towards
               an existing mapped waterway. Approximately 50% of the lot is densely vegetated.
               During an inspection, Council officers identified an existing stormwater pit within the Tallowwood
               Road Reserve that discharged within the subject site. The exact drainage outlet was unable to be
               identified. An investigation was conducted by the applicant’s Geotechnical Engineer who was
               unable to identify the outlet and determined the proposed work is unlikely to adversely affect the
               observable drainage conditions of the site.
               3.2. Surrounding Land Uses
               The surrounding lane uses are consistent with the subject subdivision.
               4.     ASSESSMENT
               4.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment

                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               37.    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.
               38.    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 9 of 13

Page 10

                      Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be
                      found inefficient.
               39.    The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in
                      accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current best practice
                      standards * (Refer to Advisory Note).
               40.    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.
               41.    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.
               42.    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.
                      Damage to Services and Assets
               43.    Any damage caused to existing services and assets as a result of the development works
                      must be repaired at no cost to the asset owner at the following times:
                      a.      where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety, immediately;
                              or
                      b.      where otherwise, upon completion of the works associated with the development.
                      Any repair work which proposes to alter the alignment or level of existing services and assets
                      must first be referred to the relevant service authority for approval.

               7.     ADVISORY NOTES

               The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part
               of the assessment manager conditions:
                      General Advisory Notes
               1.     As this driveway is a private structure, the owner bears full responsibly for the standard of its
                      construction, maintenance and any liabilities associated with its construction. It is
                      recommended that professional advice be sought for the construction of the driveway to
                      ensure that the driveway is constructed in accordance with standard drawings RS-056 and
                      any associated addendum.
               2.     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.


                                                                                                        Page 11 of 13

               3.     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.
               4.     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.
                      Prestart, On and Off Maintenance, Rehabilitation Inspections Request
               5.     Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5
                      business days’ notice of preferred inspection time.
               6.     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.
               7.     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.
                      Retention of Existing Trees
               8.     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
               9.     Stockpiling mulch to the appropriate volume and separation is required for fire mitigation as
                      well as optimum weed seed sterilisation.
                      Qualified Person
               10.    Qualified Person, for the purpose of:
                      a.      Undertaking rehabilitation construction and establishment works is considered to be a
                              person with five years current experience in revegetation and regeneration.
                      b.      Preparing certification and managing declared plant pests, is considered to be:
                              i.       a landscape architect with a minimum of 3 years current experience in the field
                                       of pest plant management;
                              ii.      a botanist or ecologist with a minimum of 3 years current experience in the field
                                       of pest plant management;
                              iii.     an environmental consultant with a minimum of 3 years current experience in the
                                       field of pest plant management.
                      On Maintenance
               11.    Request for On Maintenance is the responsibility of the developer. No credit will be given
                      due to failure to request inspection. Maintenance works are the responsibility of the
                      developer and must include regular inspections, repairs, rectifications and establishment. A
                      single maintenance run immediately prior to inspection is not acceptable.
                      Off Maintenance
               12.    A re-inspection fee in accordance with Councils Fees and Charge Register will be charged
                      where:
                      a.      A Council inspection reveals works do not comply with approval requirements.
                      b.      Submitted certification falsely states works comply with approval requirements.
                      Environmental Advisory Notes

                                                                                                         Page 12 of 13

               13.    The Environmental Protection Act 1994 states that a person must not carry out any activity
                      that causes, or is likely to cause, environmental harm unless the person takes all reasonable
                      and practicable measures to prevent or minimise the harm. Environmental harm includes
                      environmental nuisance. In this regard persons and entities, involved in the civil, earthworks,
                      construction and landscaping phases of this development are to adhere to their ‘general
                      environmental duty’ to minimise the risk of causing environmental harm.
                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               14.    Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
                      Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control.
               15.    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).
               16.    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.
                      Performance Bond Agreement
               17.    An applicant for a development application may make an agreement with an assessment
                      manager, referral agency or other person to establish the responsibilities, or secure the
                      performance, of a party to the agreement about a development condition.
               8.     PROPERTY NOTES

               Not applicable.
               9.     VARIATION APPROVAL DETAILS

               Not applicable.
               10.    FURTHER DEVELOPMENT PERMITS REQUIRED

               Not applicable.
               11.    SUBMISSIONS

               Not applicable.
