PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  17 JUNE 2014


Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
2.   There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or
     obtain approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003.
     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 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 Co-ordination Unit on 07 3239 3647 to discuss
     any obligations under the ACH Act.
Unitywater
3.   Connection to Unitywater live water mains must be undertaken by Unitywater at the
     applicants cost.
4.   A Trade Waste permit is required prior to any stormwater, groundwater or sump pump
     discharge into Unitywater’s sewerage system.
5.   The rising main crossing the north eastern corner of the site is no longer in use. No
     diversion is required. Pipework may exist in the ground and will need to be removed or
     slurry filled. A redundant gravity sewer pipe may be located within the southern portion of
     the site requiring removal or slurry filling.
ENGINEERING
Footpath Connectivity
6.   It is advised to enter into discussions with the owner of the Noosa Civic (Lot 3 SP246584),
     so as to complete a small portion of footpath adjacent to the office buildings within the
     western portion of their site adjoining the small roundabout along Hoffman Drive. This small
     section of unfinished pathway within private property, will provide connectivity to both the
     Noosa Civic Shopping Centre and the proposed development.
Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy
7.   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 QLeave on 1800 803 481 (free call) or (07) 3212 6855.
Co-ordination of Operational Works Assessment
8.   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.
