               22.    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.
               23.    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.
               24.    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

                      application along with the appropriate fees.
