These conditions have been required by the concurrence agency to ensure the design of any
road access maintains the safety and efficiency of the state controlled road.

Council’s codes and polices also require the development to provide suitable frontage works and
safe access to the site. Conditions 22 – 24 & 30 of the recommendation address the necessary
improvement and/or modifications to the frontages. These conditions are consistent with the
concurrence agency response. The proposed conditions are outlined below:
      External Works
22.   The frontages to Factory and Hill Streets must be upgraded. The works must be
      undertaken in accordance with an Operational Works approval and must include in
      particular:
      a.   Construction of kerb and channeling (or other suitable surface drainage) and
           underground stormwater drainage to the development site only;
      b.   Widening and sealing of the existing road pavement where necessary;
      c.   Construction of a pedestrian footpath in accordance with the conditions of this
           Decision Notice;
      d.   Removal of any redundant property accesses and reinstatement of the kerb, footpath
           and verge area to match the balance of the site frontage, including the provision of
           topsoil and turf where the existing verge is grassed;
      e.   Removal of any existing private infrastructure (garden beds etc) located within the
           existing and proposed road reserve;
      f.   Truncation of the existing property boundary at the intersection of Factory Street and
           Hill Street. The extent of the truncation must be sufficient to provide for a minimum
           4m wide verge between the property boundary and the new kerb line; and
      g.   Installation of street lighting where necessary.
      This condition is imposed pursuant to s665 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 being
      non-trunk infrastructure.
      Site Access and Driveways
23.   A sealed access driveway must be provided from Factory and Hill Streets to all parking and
      maneuvering areas of the development. The works must be undertaken in accordance with
      an Operational Works approval and must include driveway crossovers generally in
      accordance with IPWEAQ standard drawing SEQ R-051 Type B.
24.   Approval from the Department of Transport and Main Roads for the final design of the site
      access, driveway and frontage works must be submitted in writing to Council prior to the
      issue of any Development Permit for Operational Works.
30.   A 2m wide concrete footpath shall be provided within the road verge for the entire length of
      the site’s frontages to Factory Street and Hill Street. The works must be undertaken in
