SUPERSEDED - Decision Notice OPW26 0033 (As Published)

                      Roadworks (External Roadworks & Road Widening Works)
               35.    All pavement widening or construction of new pavement must join neatly to the existing
                      pavement so that there are no irregularities in line or level resulting at or adjacent to the join
                      for the length of the construction. Where necessary the existing pavement must be brought
                      to a satisfactory standard to allow for the above.
               36.    All street surfacing must consist of a minimum depth of 30mm of an approved hot mixed
                      asphaltic concrete, unless other pavement types are approved as feature areas in
                      intersection thresholds, speed control devices, turning areas, indented parking etc.
               37.    The installation and/or modification of any traffic signs, street signs, line marking and Raised
                      Reflective Pavement Markings (RRPMs) must be in accordance with the Manual of Uniform
                      Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). New or relocated signage must be installed using the VLok
                      installation system. All new signage must be Class 1 retroreflective material in accordance
                      with AS 1906.1, Retroreflective materials and devices for road traffic control purposes – Part
                      1: Retroreflective sheeting.
                      Pavement Design and Construction
               38.    The pavement designs shown on the engineering drawings are not approved. To attain
                      approval for the pavement design, the following details must be submitted and certified by
                      an RPEQ with the proposed pavement design.
                      a.      the design CBR must be based on the four-day soaked CBR value for the subgrade
                              material;
                      b.      the design subgrade CBR must be representative of each homogenous insitu section
                              of finished subgrade. With respect to each section:
                              i.       for four or less test results, the design CBR must be taken as the least estimated
                                       insitu CBR result; and
                              ii.      for five or more test results, the design CBR must be taken as the 10th percentile
                                       of all estimated insitu CBR results.
                      c.      the samples must be taken generally in the position of the outer wheel path on both
                              sides of the proposed road. A sketch plan showing the location of all tests must be
                              submitted with the test results for pavement design approval.; and
                      d.      where imported material has been (or is proposed to be) used for subgrade
                              replacement, and the depth of the imported material is less than 300mm, the pavement
                              design CBR must be based on the testing results of the insitu material and not the
                              imported material.
               39.    A hold point inspection is required with a Council delegate upon completion of the following
                      stages of road construction:
                      a.      subgrade; and
                      b.      base course (pre-seal).
                      At the time of the inspection(s), the pavement layer must exhibit no visible signs of
                      deformation under proof rolling by a fully loaded water truck to the reasonable satisfaction of
                      Council. The pavement layer will not pass the inspection until this requirement has been
                      achieved.
                      (*) Refer to Advisory Note
               40.    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.
