         Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy
1.       From 1 January 2000, the Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service
         Leave) Levy must be paid prior to the issue of a development permit where one is
         required for the 'Building and Construction Industry'. This applies to Building Works,
         Operational Works and Plumbing and Drainage Works applications, as defined under
         the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, where the works are $80,000 or more and
         matching the definition of 'Building and Construction Industry' under the Building and
         Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Act 1991. Council will not be able
         to issue a Decision Notice without receipt of details that the Levy has been paid.
         Should you require clarification in regard to the amendments to the Building and
         Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Act 1991, you should contact

         Co-ordination of Operational Works Assessment
2.       To assist Council to undertake an integrated assessment of the operational works
         application, all aspects of the works must be included in one (1) application and be in
         accordance with Council’s planning scheme. Additional application fees apply to
         applications where the different aspects of the works are lodged separately.
         Significant savings in application fees will result if all works are lodged in a single
         application.

         Preparation of a Preliminary Construction Management Plan
3.       The works identified in this Decision Notice will be required to be carried out in
         accordance with a Construction Management Plan endorsed by Council through an
         approval for Operational Works. To ensure expedient assessment of any Operational
         Works application, the applicant is advised to submit a preliminary Construction
         Management Plan that addresses the requirements of the planning scheme. In
         particular, the preliminary Construction Management Plan should address the
         following:
         (a)       provisions that ensure the proposed construction does not unduly impact on the
                   surrounding area and ensure the site is safe for members of the public,
                   implementing appropriate traffic signage in accordance with the Manual of
                   Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and making provision for safe
                   pedestrian access across the frontage of the site both during daily construction
                   and after daily construction has ceased.
         (b)       it is acknowledged that the Construction Management Plan will be a draft
                   document requiring finalisation upon appointment of the Principal Contractor
                   employed to construct the works and a final document will be required to be
                   submitted at the Pre-Start Meeting for the project.
