pollutants to waterways;

Erosion and sediment control
9 All activities that have the potential to pollute must comply with the
requirements of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act
1997 (POEO Act 1997).

Construction, 2006’ (the ‘Blue Book’).
11 All development applications must be accompanied by an ‘Erosion
and Sediment Control Plan’ (ESCP) that will describe the measures
to be taken at development sites to minimise land disturbance
and erosion and to control sediment pollution. An ESCP shall
be prepared in accordance with Landcom “Managing Urban
Stormwater, Soil and Construction”.
12 Excavation of the site must be limited to the immediate construction
area.
13 Where materials are stockpiled on a site, no part of a stockpile is to
be placed under the canopy of any tree that is to be retained.

equipment and sediment barriers must at no time be placed in public
walkways, verges, Council roads or road reserves unless a permit

insurance cover to the order of $20 million.
