Attachment 2—Advice to the applicant

General advice
1.      Terms and phrases used in this document are defined in the Planning Act 2016 its regulation or
        the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP) v3.0. If a word remains undefined it has
        its ordinary meaning.
2.      Transport noise corridor
        Mandatory Part (MP) 4.4 of the Queensland Development Code (QDC) commenced on 1
        September 2010 and applies to building work for the construction or renovation of a residential
        building in a designated transport noise corridor. MP4.4 seeks to ensure that the habitable
        rooms of Class 1, 2, 3 and 4 buildings located in a transport noise corridor are designed and
        constructed to reduce transport noise. Transport noise corridor means land designated under
        Chapter 8B of the Building Act 1975 as a transport noise corridor. A free online search tool can
        be used to find out whether a property is located in a designated transport noise corridor. This
        tool is available online at: https://www.business.qld.gov.au/industries/building-property-
        development/building-construction/laws-codes-standards/queensland-development-
        code/transport-noise-corridors. This tool allows searches on a registered lot number and/or
        property address to determine whether and how the QDC applies to the land.
3.      Road works approval
        Under section 33 of the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994, written approval is required from the
        Department of Transport and Main Roads to carry out road works on a state-controlled road.
        Please contact the Department of Transport and Main Roads’ on
        [email protected] with the completed application form and supporting
        information to make an application for road works approval. This approval must be obtained
        prior to commencing any works on the state-controlled road reserve. The approval process
        may require the approval of engineering designs of the proposed works, certified by a
        Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ). Please contact the Department of
        Transport and Main Roads’ as soon as possible to ensure that gaining approval does not delay
