60 Location of log dumps and landings

(1) Log dumps and log landings whose creation involves earthworks must not be located—

(a) within the buffer zone of any drainage feature, or place, object or item of heritage significance, or

(b) within 10 metres of the centreline of any drainage depression on soil classed R1, R2 or R3, or

(c) within any area of native vegetation, any area of habitat trees or any 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).

(2) Runoff from any log dump or log landing must discharge onto a stable surface that is capable of filtering runoff water and trapping sediment.

(3) Nothing in this clause prevents the temporary stockpiling of logs within a drainage depression if this would result in less soil disturbance than alternative locations, so long as at least 70% of groundcover is maintained on the affected area.
