Attachment 2—Advice to the applicant

General
1.      Terms and phrases used in this document are defined in the Planning Act 2016, its regulation
        or the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP) (version 3.3). If a word remains
        undefined it has its ordinary meaning.

State controlled road
2.      State transport noise corridor
        Mandatory Part (MP) 4.4 of the Queensland Development Code (QDC) commenced on 1
        September 2010 and applies to building work for the construction or renovation of a residential
        building in a designated transport noise corridor. MP4.4 seeks to ensure that the habitable
        rooms of Class 1, 2, 3 and 4 buildings located in a transport noise corridor are designed and
        constructed to reduce transport noise.
        Transport noise corridor means land designated under Chapter 8B of the Building Act 1975 as
        a transport noise corridor. A free online search tool can be used to find out whether a property
        is located in a designated transport noise corridor to determine whether and how the QDC
        applies to the land. This tool is available online at:
        http://spp.dsdip.esriaustraliaonline.com.au/geoviewer/map/planmaking.
3.      Public utility works and connection in a State controlled road
        The applicant is advised that if any works and/or connections are required to public utility
        services within a State controlled road reserve, approval must be given by the Department of
        Transport and Main Roads under the relevant public utility legislation (electricity, water/sewer,
        telecommunication), and in accordance with DTMR technical standards (TN163).
        Approvals must be obtained prior to commencing any utility works within the State controlled
        road reserve. Please contact the public utility team via [email protected] for further
        information on the application and approval process.
4.      Road works in a State controlled road
        Under section 33 of the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994, written approval is required from the
        Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR's) to carry out road works on a State
        controlled road prior to the works commencing. Contact DTMR on
        [email protected] with the completed application form and supporting
        information to make an application for road works approval.
        As part of the application process detailed engineering designs the proposed works, certified
        by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland will be required. The detailed design
        must demonstrate how the proposed works will comply with DTMR's Road Planning and
        Design Manual, 2nd Edition (RPDM), technical standards and policies. DTMR advises that any
        design submitted through the development application process is conceptual in nature and has
        not been reviewed in detail to confirm that all aspects of the design, including (but not limited
        to) provision for vulnerable road users, signals, lighting, and pavement design, meets TMR
        requirements.
        To ensure that gaining approval does not delay construction contact DTMR as soon as
        possible. Further information on applying for road works approval is available here:
