Waste management
A Waste Management Plan (demolition) must be submitted in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy PSP10 - Waste Management and approved by Council’s Waste Coordinator prior to issue of a development permit for Building Works for demolition, removal or relocation.

Waste storage areas must provide for adequate separation of all reusable, recyclable and waste materials. These must be located so that they are convenient and safe to use.
The Plan must contain the following information:

Asbestos
Removal of building materials containing asbestos must be undertaken by a licensed asbestos removalist.
Asbestos removal work (Section 466) of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 requires a licensed asbestos removalist to give notice to Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) of licensed asbestos removal work at least five days before the work commences.

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.
You should contact the Cultural Heritage Unit to discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.

the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.

A self-assessable application is required to be submitted to Council for the vehicle crossover (*link below) OR if the proposed driveway and vehicle crossover does not comply with each Acceptable Solution contained in the Code, a Development Permit for the work is required to be obtained from Council.
