               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.
