               7.     ADVISORY NOTES

               The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part
               of the assessment manager conditions:
                      General Advisory Notes
               1.     As this driveway is a private structure, the owner bears full responsibly for the standard of its
                      construction, maintenance and any liabilities associated with its construction. It is
                      recommended that professional advice be sought for the construction of the driveway to
                      ensure that the driveway is constructed in accordance with standard drawing RS-049 and
                      RS-050 and any associated addendum.
               2.     Council has undertaken an audit check of the Operational Works drawings in relations to the
                      proposed works. A detailed check of the calculations and drawings has not been undertaken,
                      as they have been certified by a RPEQ. The RPEQ bears full responsibility for all aspects
                      of the engineering design. Council reserves the right to require further amendments and/or
                      additions at a later date should design errors become apparent.
               3.     Council reserves the right to call up any performance bond held or levy charges against the
                      property, should emergency works be required to be undertaken by Council to make the site
                      safe due to inactivity on the development site for extended periods of time.
               4.     Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of
                      construction constraints, a “Request to change an existing approval” under the Planning Act
                      2016 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this
                      application along with the appropriate fees.
                      Inspections Request
               5.     Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5
                      business days notice of preferred inspection time.
                      It should be noted prior to arranging a pre-start meeting the Appeal Period of 20 business
                      days must have passed or the applicant must have provided Council with written confirmation
                      that the applicant has accepted the conditions of Decision Notice and waived their appeal
                      rights.
               6.     If Council officers are required to undertake additional inspections of the same works, a
                      reinspection fee will be applicable in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges register
                      applicable at the time.
                      Environmental Advisory Notes
               7.     The Environmental Protection Act 1994 states that a person must not carry out any activity
                      that causes, or is likely to cause, environmental harm unless the person takes all reasonable
                      and practicable measures to prevent or minimise the harm. Environmental harm includes
                      environmental nuisance. In this regard persons and entities, involved in the civil, earthworks,
                      construction and landscaping phases of this development are to adhere to their ‘general
                      environmental duty’ to minimise the risk of causing environmental harm.
