Appeal judgement 30-32 Doonella St Tewantin - MCU21-0013 OPW21-0013

75.   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.
      Pathways
76.   All pathways must be constructed in accordance with the following requirements:
      a.   All footpath/cycleway must comply with Council’s Standard Drawing SEQ R-065;
      b.   Provision must be made for disabled access at all kerb crossings associated with
           pathways, in accordance with Council's current standards;
      c.   All paths must have a slip resistant surface, with a colour to match the existing
           (dark);
      d.   Expansion and contraction joints must provide a flush finish. Installation of joints
           by saw cutting is preferred to ensure a smooth ride for cyclists;
      e.   Pram ramps where required.
      f.   The required work includes any modifications to ensure the footpath finishes flush
           with all existing service covers and the like, or alternatively these services are
           raised or altered, so as not to create a pedestrian safety hazard.
77.   Pathways must:
      a.   terminate in a manner that ensures smooth transition to existing surfaces for public
           safety;
      b.   be designed and constructed to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act
           (DDA), Access to Premises Standard, Austroads and relevant sections of AS1428
           Design for access and mobility.
      Site Access and Driveways
78.   Driveway crossovers must be constructed generally in accordance with Council’s
      Standard Drawing RS-051.
79.   Any existing unnecessary or redundant property accesses must be removed, and the
      kerb, footpath and verge area reinstated to match the existing footpath and/or verge
      treatments. Grassed verge areas to be reinstated must be provided with 100 mm topsoil
      and grass seed or turf, and must be maintained by the developer until established.
80.   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;
      c.   Where there is an existing pedestrian path, a matching crossfall must be provided
           for the driveway on the alignment of the path, for the full width of the path;
      d.   The property accesses must be located a minimum of 1m clear of existing power
           poles, streetlights or other signage. The developer is responsible for any
           necessary relocation of existing services to provide this clearance and must
           contact the relevant service authorities and comply with their requirements in
           relation to these works.
