Chapter 28 - Standard Requirements 28.1.11.2 Supervision of the works; 28.1.11.3 Certification upon completion that the works have been carried out in accordance with the documents and sound engineering practice. The Council may require the developer to appoint a representative as a condition of approval of the subdivision or development plan. The representative shall establish a level of experience and accreditation acceptable to the Council in subdivisional work and/ or development prior to works commencing. 28.1.12 Land Stability 28.1.12.1 All applications to subdivide land are required to demonstrate that subdivision and any subsequent activities are not likely to accelerate, worsen, or result in material damage to that land, other land, or structure, by erosion, falling debris, subsidence, slippage, or inundation from any source. 28.1.12.2 Where proposed allotments might reasonably be expected to accommodate a future dwelling or dwellings, and any land is likely to be subject to material damage by erosion, falling debris, subsidence, slippage, or inundation, the application shall demonstrate that each such allotment has within it a suitable building site. Each such suitable building site shall be indicated on the subdivision plan and the application shall be supported by a geotechnical report prepared by a professional in the related field (who has established credentials with the Council) able to supply an opinion as to the stability of land, which includes threat to that land from beyond the site/ property. Also, include the siting of onsite disposal of sewage effluent and stormwater disposal systems. 28.1.12.3 The Council will require all applications in the Rural and Sounds Residential Zones to be accompanied by a report from a registered engineer, with expertise in soils, detailing the nature of any site inspections and findings; certifying that any proposed earthworks or foundations are suitable for their intended purpose; and specifying the extent of any particular requirements or further investigations required. In particular the report should specify the soil structure and stability, and that the land will, following the earthworks proposed, be stable in terms of expected settlement, bearing capacity, soil shrinkage and expansion, slope and compaction. The Council reserves the right to require this report in other zones where slope and land stability factors apply. 28.1.12.4 All earthworks proposals and operations shall minimise dust nuisance to adjoining properties. Areas of exposed soil shall be minimised and shall be revegetated as soon as practicable. In dry and windy conditions exposed soils may be required to be watered or otherwise stabilised. Earthworks proposals and operations shall also meet the specific controls for the zone in which the subdivision or development is located. 28.1.13 Minimum Requirements 28.1.13.1 Developer to be Responsible for all Services 28.1.13.1.1 The developer will be required to undertake or provide all required engineering services specified in the Plan. The Council may, in some circumstances, undertake the work and require a contribution, equal to the cost of the work, from the developer. 28 - 7
