ESC: Compliance with SPP
The State Planning Policy 2017 (DILGP, 2017) came into effect on the 3rd July 2017 and introduces a new stormwater management design objective for sediment control on construction sites. New Operational Works applications which are for urban purposes and which involve disturbing a land area of 2500m2 or greater in size must comply with the new design objective. The new design standard recognises there are alternative technologies available and proven in the Queensland context that can achieve the new design objective without necessarily increasing cost or land area requirements. The purpose of this Technical Note is to assist Local Government (and Industry) by explaining the reason for the new design objective and to provide practical tools to help implement the change.
