      the driveway be removed and reconstructed to levels that do comply.
      Please note, a step between the driveway and the surrounding area shall be avoided, as it is
      preferred to have the footpath continue at a constant grade to minimise the potential for
      pedestrians to trip or fall.

      frontage, the driveway and any associated fencing or vegetation near the driveway shall
      comply with the minimum sight line requirements as defined in AS 2890.1, section 3.2.4. The
      applicant shall demonstrate compliance by illustrating these sight lines on the plans submitted

24.    Any person acting on this permit shall prevent erosion and sediment export from leaving the
       site. Site control measures such as silt fencing, controlled gravel access to the site and
       controlled disposal of waste, will be necessary.
       In this regard, plans detailing the methods of controlling erosion and sediment in accordance
       with the Healthy Waterways document and fact sheet series titled “Controlling Stormwater
       Pollution on your Building Site dated 2006” are required to be submitted with the application
       for a Building Works Permit.

7     ADVISORY NOTES
The following Advisory Notes are for information purposes only and do not form conditions of
approval:
1.    The applicant is advised that this approval does not relate to sewer main setbacks within the
      site or adjacent to the site, as a Building Certifier will assess this during the Building
      Application process and after consultation with Council’s Water & Sewerage section. Should
      any Council sewer mains be affected as a result of non-compliance with this condition, the
      Building Certifier will be held personally liable. To this end, all Building Applications will need
      a site plan prepared & certified by a licensed surveyor clearly illustrating the exact location of
      any sewer mains and the ‘zone of influence’ of these mains.
2.    The site is identified as a Koala Living Area under the Nature Conservation (Koala)
      Conservation Plan 2006 and Management Program 2006-2016 and may contain koalas. The
      use of a Koala Spotter is encouraged in areas where koalas are likely to occur, prior to the
      removal of Angophora, Corymbia, Eucalyptus, Lophostemon and Melaleuca species. Further
      information can be obtained from the Environmental Protection Agency at
      <http://www.epa.qld.gov.au> or Ph. (07) 32278185.
3.    The applicant is advised that a Compliance Permit for all plumbing and drainage works within
      the boundaries of the development site shall be obtained from Council’s Plumbing Services
      Section prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Building Works.
4.    The requirements of the Environmental Protection Amendment Regulation (No. 2) 1999 and
      Local Law No. 12, prevents a builder or building contractor carrying out building work on a
      building site in a way that makes or causes audible noise to be made from the building work:-
      4.1.    On a Sunday or public holiday, at any time; or
      4.2.    On a Saturday or a business day, before 7.00am or after 6.30pm.
      A maximum penalty of $1,500 applies to an offence under this legislation.
5.    Prior to the commencement of the development, a plumbing assessment must be obtained
      from Noosa Council’s Plumbing Services Section in accordance with the Plumbing & Drainage
      Act 2002 (as applicable).
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or obtain
approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACH Act).
The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: “A person who carries
out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the activity does not
harm Aboriginal cultural heritage”. It is an offence to fail to comply with the duty of care. Substantial
monetary penalties may apply to individuals or corporations breaching this duty of care. Injunctions
may also be issued by the Land and Resources Tribunal, and the Minister administering the ACH Act
can also issue stop orders for an activity that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural
heritage or the cultural heritage value of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
                                                                                        Page 5 of 6
