The contractor must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the extent of works and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather conditions. Exposed areas must be suitably covered/stabilised/reinstated as soon as practicable and prior to any predicted rainfall occurring.

General Advisory Notes
As this driveway is a private structure, the owner bears full responsibly for the standard of its construction, maintenance and any liabilities associated with its construction. It is recommended that professional advice be sought for the construction of the driveway to ensure that the driveway is constructed in accordance with standard drawing RS-049 and RS-050.
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.
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.
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.
