Attachment 1 - Current Approval for MCU

                                                                                      132007.12.4

8.     The requirements of the Environmental Protection Amendment Regulation (No. 2) 1999
       and Local Law No. 12, prevents a builder or building contractor carrying out building work
       on a building site in a way that makes or causes audible noise to be made from the
       building work:-
       8.1. On a Sunday or public holiday, at any time; or
       8.2. On a Saturday or a business day, before 7.00am or after 6.30pm.
       A maximum penalty of $1,500 applies to an offence under this legislation.
9.     Pursuant to the Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) 1991
       Act if the cost of operational works exceeds $80,000, then a portable long service leave
       levy is required to be paid. In accordance with Section 77.(1) of the Act, Council is
       required to sight the approved form issued by the Building and Construction Industry
       (Portable Long Service Leave) Authority that confirms that the requirements of the Act
       have been satisfied. A statutory declaration outlining the cost of the operational works
       must be submitted to Council with the lodgement of any application for operational works
       over the site.
10.    The plans for the proposed building work have not been assessed for compliance with
       the requirements of the Building Code of Australia as they relate to people with
       disabilities. Your attention is drawn to the matter that either or both the Disability
       Discrimination Act 1992 (commonwealth) and the Anti-Discrimination Act
       1991(Queensland) may impact on the proposed building work.
11.    Noosa Council recommends that the following matters be considered to address
       equitable access and facilities in the building:-
       A.     The building and environs should be designed to meet the requirements of the
              Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission “Advisory Notes on Access to
              Premises” and AS1428.2;
               Applicants should be aware that a “Disability Standard on Access to Premises is
               being developed and most likely will result in changes to the Building Code of
               Australia;
               Any services and facilities in the building complex must allow independent,
               dignified and equitable use of the services and facilities for all people.
12.    This proposal has not been assessed in relation to the spread of fire between properties /
       buildings. It is the building certifiers responsibility to assess the requirements for fire
       services, fire separation and appropriate methods of construction as part of the building
       works approval process. Referral to the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service (QFRS)
       may be required as part of the Building Approval process.
13.    The development should be undertaken and operated in a manner that causes no
       detrimental effect upon the amenity of the neighbourhood by reason of the creation of
       excessive noise, lighting, air-borne hazards, atmospheric pollutants (including dust or
       odours) nuisance or any other emissions in accordance with the nuisance provisions of
       the Environmental Protection Regulation 1998 or Council’s Local Law No. 12 – Control of
       Nuisances.
14.    Noise from building works associated with commercial and or industrial development
       should comply with the following –
       14.1. Limited to between 7:00am to 6:30pm Monday to Saturday.
       14.2. All reasonable measures are taken to minimise noise emissions.
       14.3. Not permitted on Sunday or public holidays.
