(1) Windrows and debris heaps from site preparation—

(a) must be located at least 20 metres inside any boundary of the landholding, and

(b) must be located outside any area of native vegetation or area designated for the location of replacement trees that is required by the complying development standards in Division 3 of Part 4 to be retained (to the extent that the authorisation for the plantation requires compliance with those standards), and

(c) must be located outside any buffer zone of a drainage feature or place, object or item of heritage significance.

(2) Debris must be heaped with minimum disturbance to topsoil.

(3) Unless it is impractical to do so—

(a) windrows and debris heaps must be located across the slope of the land, and

(b) any dozer used for windrowing must be fitted with a root rake (that is, an implement fitted to the dozer, generally consisting of tines or steel fingers, that can move logs and debris without shifting large amounts of soil).
