Mayoral Minutes
1A. Standard Condition For Excavations
Subject: Standard Condition For Excavations
Record No: SU3474 - 59159/12
Division: Lane Cove Council
Author(s): Councillor Scott Bennison
Executive Summary
Recently Council staff have noted a number of builders on construction sites attempting to excavate foundations and existing site ground levels in excess of the issued development approval.
I have requested that staff investigate and take appropriate actions against any unauthorised excavation of site ground levels in excess of that approved by a development consent.
I have also requested staff to draft an additional standard condition to be imposed on all development that restricts excessive excavation not approved by Council.
Such draft condition should be guided by, but not be limited to, a draft standard condition that limits on-site excavation to only that necessary to construct structures approved by Council.
That Council impose a condition on all development consents limiting excavation to what is approved.
