A Site Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) is a document detailing the potential environmental impacts of a proposed use and/or development and the ways that these impacts may be reduced by management strategies and practices. he provision of a SEMP is triggered under Schedule ! and Schedule " of the #omprehensive $evelopment %one contained within the Alpine &esorts Planning Scheme. OBJECTIVES OF A SEMP he ob'ectives of a SEMP are to address environmental( planning scheme and rehabilitation re)uirements and ensure that applicants are accountable for preventing or mitigating any environmental impacts. THE PROCESS A SEMP must be endorsed by the responsible authority (the Minister for Planning) prior to the commencement of any building or wor*s. Endorsement may include approval by the relevant &esort Management +oard (&M+)( the $epartment of Sustainability and Environment ($SE) and the relevant ,ater Authority. SUBMISSION Ensure that you submit the following as part of your SEMP pac*agePart A - SEMP Cover Form( including supporting attachments such as photographs and reports( if re)uired. Part B - Site Co !tr"#tio Ma a$eme t P%a ( including a detailed drawing identifying environmental measures referenced in the SEMP #over .orm and documentation addressing the performance standards. Part C - Site Re&a'i%itatio P%a including a detailed drawing identifying revegetation re)uirements and rehabilitation areas and other necessary documentation. Please note: he planning scheme may re)uire additional information to be attached to fully describe the site and wor*s such as .lora( fauna and /et 0ain assessments.

Approval from the &esort Management +oard will be obtained prior to any out7of7 hours wor* occurring. ,ritten notification will be provided to local residents when out7of7hours wor* is occurring. Provision of new service connections and upgrading of e3isting services will be underta*en in a timely manner with minimal on7site and off7site impacts and with prior approval of the &M+ and services providers.

Se+ime t Co tro% Mea!"re! Sediment run7off controls and drainage around all construction areas must be established prior to commencement of any building or wor*s. Sediment traps must be designed( installed and maintained to ma3imise the volume of sediment trapped from the site during construction. A mulch of fibre matting( shredded plant material from the site or certified weed free sterile straw( preferably from a pasture fescue crop( must be maintained on e3posed areas until ade)uate plant cover is produced. 0rading( e3cavation and construction must not proceed during periods of heavy rainfall. Sediment control measures must have a si;e and capacity to withstand the flow of a one in five year storm event. All sediment control measures must be maintained during construction and inspected prior to (and after) rain events to ensure they are functioning properly. opsoil must be *ept separate from sub7soil when stoc*piling soil( and covered with an appropriate fabric to minimise loss and sedimentation. All loads of soil being ta*en off site for disposal must be covered. $rainage is to be returned to previously e3isting flow paths( e3cept where specified by a separate drainage report. All stoc*piles of soil( sand( fertiliser( cement or other fine( loose material must be placed in locations away from drainage lines( roadside channels and culverts unless ade)uately protected from erosion by diversion drains( bunds or similar wor*s. All stoc*piles must be covered.
Storm.ater 0rai a$e Mea!"re! Any water to be pumped from the site should be filtered before release to ensure that no sediment or weed seeds enter the stormwater system. Energy dissipation measures also need to be in place to guard against potential scouring. /atural drainage patterns must not be altered post construction( e3cept through an approved drainage plan. #ut7off or intercept drains must be established during construction to redirect stormwater away from cleared areas and slopes to stable (vegetated) areas. Stormwater collected by impervious surfaces during construction must be drained via sediment traps to the road drainage system where possible.
$rip line drainage( including energy dissipation measures( must be installed under eaves to minimise erosion caused by raindrop action and snow shedding.
Ma a$eme t o* Pe!t! a + A ima%! All construction vehicles and e)uipment must be cleared of soil and organic matter to remove seeds prior to arriving on site to prevent the introduction and/or spread of weeds and pathogens. Site inspections must be conducted by the site supervisor during and after construction to identify weed species re)uiring control. +uilding wor* that uses transported gravel and soil must be monitored to prevent the introduction of e3otic species. /o animals (including dogs) are permitted on site without the prior written consent of the relevant &M+.
