                              ii.      Planted shrubs have achieved an average height of 1m.
                      c.      Year Three - Final acceptance installation:
                              i.       Planted trees have achieved an average height of 3m.
                              ii.      Planted shrubs have achieved an average height of 1.2m.
                              iii.     Canopy and / or vegetative strata must not be devoid for any area greater than
                                       1.0m2 within any 10m2 sample.
                              iv.      Plant density shading out and/or self-mulching.
                      d.      The duration of the establishment period:
                              i.       Adherence to maintenance regime for rehabilitation and revegetation areas.
                              ii.      No evidence of woody weeds reshooting from stumps, poisoned trees or the
                                       regrowth of cut stumps.
                              iii.     No evidence of over-weeding or impact on non-target species.
                              iv.      Signs of indigenous recruitment in rehabilitation areas.
                              v.       Weed infestations less than 5% of the rehabilitation areas.
                              vi.      Any failed plants within the previous 12 month period have been replaced.
                              vii.     Healthy and vigorous growth allowed to grow to full form.
                              viii.    Mulch layer sufficient to suppress weeds.
                      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.
