C6180/19/P01 Sheet 1/1	-	Drainage Layout Plan, prepared by Walsh Consulting Engineers	Feb 2019
PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF WORKS
A condition report including internal photograph of the existing drainage manhole and the existing connection pipeline must be completed for agreement at the prestart meeting.
Certificates demonstrating currency of public liability insurance and works insurance covering the works must be submitted to Council prior to the prestart meeting.
Council must be contacted at least 5 working days prior to any works commencing to organise a prestart. The contact number to arrange a pre-start meeting is 5329 6245. The pre-start meeting must include the relevant parties for the following aspects of the works:
Civil engineering works;
Erosion and sediment control works;
Other relevant parties
A traffic management measures must be implemented and discussed with Council’s inspector at the prestart meeting and must specifically address the following:
Appropriate traffic signage in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) to provide warning to drivers and road users of any safety hazard or changes to traffic conditions due to the proposed works.
Fencing to the work site during the construction phase as may be necessary to ensure the safety of the public and the road users.
Provision for safe pedestrian and traffic access across the frontage of the site both during daily construction and after daily construction has ceased.
Appropriate measures to minimising adverse impacts on traffic flows in the local roads
A Construction Management Plan or measures must be implemented and discussed at the pre-start meeting and must specifically address the following:
Maintenance and protection of water quality and existing drainage lines through the construction site through the implementation of appropriate erosion and sediment control measures with particular attention at preventing sediment export into nearby Lake Weyba waterways.
Measures to minimise adverse impacts on other properties including noise and dust emissions.
Establishment of a communication protocol with the adjoining owners to advise of construction times, impacts on traffic and services and other relevant issues.
identification of complaint management procedures including:
Contact details for the on-site manager.
Dispute resolution procedures.
Any conflict between the development and an existing or proposed service (eg sewer main and/or connection) must be referred to the relevant service authority for determination prior to commencement of works.
DURING CONSTRUCTION
The developer must meet any costs to repair damage to any Council and public asset during construction, where damage is a result of the development works. Damage to assets must be repaired immediately where it creates a hazard to the community. In circumstances where the damage does not create a hazard to the community, it must be repaired immediately on completion of the works associated with this permit.
All works must be supervised by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) who is independent of the Developer and Principal Contractor, and they must certify that all works conform to the Operational Works permit. Where municipal works are involved, such confirmation must be submitted for the respective hold points prior to any site inspection by Council Officers.
All works must be constructed and work procedure undertaken in accordance with:
The approved plans/documents and conditions detailed in this Decision Notice
The relevant conditions of the higher order Reconfiguration of Lot approval Ref: REC17/0013 to which this approval relates.
All relevant Noosa Council Planning Scheme Policies, standard drawings, standard specifications and guidelines.
The latest version of the Healthy Waterways document “Water Sensitive Urban Design Technical Design Guidelines for South East Queensland” for all water quality devices to be constructed on site
Earthworks Batters
Any slope and batters shall be at a maximum grade of:
1 in 6 where in proximity to waterbodies
1 in 4 for grassed areas.
1 in 3 for planted areas
1 in 2 for combined structural engineering and planting solutions.
Stormwater Drainage
Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including temporary outlets.
Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage conditions on other properties (eg by blocking or interfering with natural overland flows).
Construction of all internal stormwater drainage works must comply with the relevant section/s of Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.3.
Environment – Erosion and Sediment Control
Upon the completion of the works associated with this permit, all site surfaces must be effectively stabilised using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation and which will continue to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium- to long-term. For the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that does not, or is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion or lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination
Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in the Environmental Protection Act 1994) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination.
Erosion and sediment control measures must be installed and maintained to minimise erosion on the site and to minimise the export of sediment and associated pollutants from the site. The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with current best practice standards (refer to advisory notes).
Prior to the sealing of the plan of survey for the development, all site surfaces must be effectively stabilised using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation and which will continue to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium to long-term (refer to advisory notes). For the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that does not, or is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion or lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination.
Limit soil exposure on the site to a distance of no more than 2m beyond the extent of works shown on the approved plans except where the exposed soil is effectively stabilised without delay and prior to rainfall occurring.
FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION AND PRIOR TO COUNCIL SIGNING THE PLAN OF SURVEY
Certification and Final Inspection
Upon completion of the work a certificate must be issued by an RPEQ certifying that the works have been constructed in accordance with the Operational Works permit.
A final inspection and approval of the new driveway and completed reinstatement works by Council’s Inspector is required.  Please contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange for the inspection.
referral agencies
Not applicable.
Advisory notes
The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part of the assessment manager conditions:
General Advisory Notes
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.
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 2016 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this application along with the appropriate fees.
Prestart, On and Off Maintenance Inspections Request
Contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5 business days notice of preferred inspection time.
It should be noted prior to arranging a pre-start meeting the Right of Appeal Period of 20 business days should have been passed or the applicant has have confirmed by a letter or an email that he/she has accepted the conditions of Decision Notice and waived his/her appeal right.
