Decision guidelines for the erosion management overlay

You application should address the following decision guidelines (if relevant) when providing information showing the means proposed to stabilize disturbed areas in an erosion management overlay:

• Any proposed measures to manage concentrated runoff and site drainage.
• Any proposed measures to minimise the extent of soil disturbance.
• Whether the removal of vegetation will increase the possibility of erosion, the susceptibility to landslip or other land degradation processes, and whether such removal is consistent with sustainable land management.
• The need to stabilise disturbed areas by engineering works or revegetation.
• Whether the land is capable of providing a building envelope which is not subject to high or severe erosion concern.
• Whether buildings or works are likely to cause erosion or landslip.
