Negotiated Report (Representations made) - OPW26 0033 (As Published)
10. Submit an initial Construction Management Plan to Council prior to the pre-start meeting.
The Construction Management Plan must specifically address the following:
a. Traffic management during vegetation clearing stages of the construction phase
including:
i. Adequate road signage and traffic control measures;
ii. Maintenance of safe vehicle and pedestrian access across the frontage of the
site;
iii. Proposed fencing to the site during the clearing phase of the development;
iv. Adequate parking arrangements for constriction workers, residents and
delivers; and
v. No queuing of trucks is permitted on residential streets;
b. Maintenance and protection of water quality and existing drainage lines through the
construction site through the implementation of appropriate erosion and sediment
controls;
c. Works programme identifying key components of the clearing works and their
respective durations;
d. Establishment of a communication protocol with the adjoining owners and local
residents affected by the clearing works, to advise of agreed clearing times, impacts
on access and services and other relevant issues;
e. Include a post out to the neighbouring and nearby residents advising of the proposed
development, the expected clearing time frames and the site contactor details;
f. Include signage in a prominent location at the front of the site advising of the proposed
development approval number and the site contact details.
Assessment of Request
Council understands that the intent of the change is to allow for the commencement of vegetation
clearing through the preparation of a Construction Management Plan to be submitted to Council
prior to the prestart meeting without requiring a Construction Management Plan for the civil works.
Council sees merit in separating the two works into separate phases – vegetation clearing and civil
works. However, the requested amendment does not clearly define both phases, specify the detail
required in each Construction Management Plan, omit critical detail relating to the standards for
traffic control or a complaint resolution system, or specify when the civil Construction Management
Plan will be submitted.
Council is generally supportive of the request but suggests that intent of the representation can be
satisfied by creating two conditions, one for each phase of works.
Recommendation
It is recommended existing condition 10 be amended and condition 10A be included to read as
follows:
11. Submit an initial Construction Management Plan to Council prior to the pre-start meeting.
The Construction Management Plan must be prepared for phase one of works which
relates to Clearing Vegetation under Planning Scheme and must specifically address
the following:
a. traffic management during the clearing of vegetation clearing stages of the
construction phase including:
