works, Council’s Engineering Officer must be notified prior to the proposed closure and all
requirements complied with.
42. 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.
43. Electrical conduits or other services proposed to be installed within existing and proposed
road reserves under existing sealed carriageways, concrete pathways, concrete/sealed

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;
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; and
e. 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.

safety; and

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.

crossover/driveway:
a. the driveway surfacing must consist of an approved hot mixed asphaltic concrete or
patterned/plain concrete;
b. decorative surfaces must be approved by Council, have a maximum 5mm depth
variation in the finished surface profile, and comply with AS4586, AS3661.1 and any
