(*Refer to Advisory Notes)
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.
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.
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
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:
where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety, immediately; or
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.
