UPDATE: Excavating and fill is considered ‘earthworks’ and any filling beyond dressing or top soil is considered earthworks so that places the ‘work’ to fix the minor slip under the EPA Act and even though s 106 still applies it is not authority to just proceed.
If only Council could have made it that clear.
DA is required but the work maybe ‘exempt’ depending on a few other factors.
The OC under these circumstances is subject to the slow and laborious processes of the local Council.
Sorted.
“If the council says the fill needs a DA, then it needs a DA.”
I would never trust a government body to the extent i would do something purely on their say so. They are not that infallible and generally not that competent. No disrespect intended; just saying they too often get it wrong.
