SUPERSEDED - Decision Notice OPW22 0241 [As Published]
Pavement Design and Construction
12. Pavement design for privately owned works must be undertaken in accordance with the
relevant standards. Structural integrity of the driveway and car park areas will remain the
responsibility of the property owner/developer and must be certified by an RPEQ.
Works within Road Reserve/Reinstatement
13. Safe pedestrian and vehicle access on all streets in the vicinity of the development must be
maintained at all times. Should footpath/road closures be necessary to carry out construction
works, Council’s Engineering Officer must be notified prior to the proposed closure and all
requirements complied with.
14. All frontage works must match neatly with existing road and verge/footpath features.
Additional works beyond the frontage may be required to provide an acceptable transition to
existing road and verge/footpath profiles.
15. Electrical conduits or other services proposed to be installed within existing and proposed
road reserves under existing sealed carriageways, concrete pathways, concrete/sealed
driveways or significant vegetation must be installed by boring. Trenching is not permitted,
unless specifically approved by Council.
Site Access and Driveways
16. Driveway crossovers must be constructed generally in accordance with council’s Standard
Drawings RS-049, RS-050 and any associated addendum
17. The following must be complied with during the construction of the required
crossover/driveway:
a. The driveway surfacing must consist of either an approved hot mixed asphaltic
concrete or patterned/plain concrete.
b. The driveway must be constructed so as not to concentrate stormwater runoff onto
neighbouring properties or create additional ponding of stormwater on the road
reserve.
c. Underground service conduits for water supply, electricity and any other services must
be provided as part of the access driveway
Erosion and Sediment Control
18. Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental Protection
Regulation 2019) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely
to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are
taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination.
19. Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If such
measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the spot” fines may be issued. Such
fines can be issued if sediments from the site are found to enter or have the potential to enter
Council’s stormwater system, natural waterways, any downstream stormwater filtration
system or adversely impacting on other properties.
20. The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the
extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather
conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and prior
to rainfall occurring.
21. The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining
properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles and/or
machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and sediment control
measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including vehicle shakedown
pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where sediments or other
contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s
drainage system or waterways.
