PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   08 AUGUST 2017


      Pavement Design and Construction
45.   Pavement design for privately owned works must be undertaken in accordance with the
      relevant standards. Structural integrity of the driveway and car park areas will remain the
      responsibility of the property owner/developer and must be certified by an RPEQ.
      Works within Road Reserve/Reinstatement
46.   Safe pedestrian access on all streets in the vicinity of the development must be maintained
      at all times. Should footpath/road closures be necessary to carry out construction works,
      Council’s Engineering Officer must be notified prior to the proposed closure and all
      requirements complied with.
47.   All frontage works must match neatly with existing road and verge/footpath features.
      Additional works beyond the frontage may be required to provide an acceptable transition to
      existing road and verge/footpath profiles.
48.   Electrical conduits or other services proposed to be installed within existing and proposed
      road reserves under existing sealed carriageways, concrete pathways, concrete/sealed
      driveways or significant vegetation must be installed by boring. Trenching is not permitted,
      unless specifically approved by Council.
      Site Access and Driveways
49.   Any existing unnecessary or redundant property accesses must be removed, and the kerb,
      footpath and verge area reinstated to match the existing footpath and/or verge treatments.
      Grassed verge areas to be reinstated must be provided with 100 mm topsoil and grass seed
      or turf, and must be maintained by the developer until established.
50.   The following must be complied with during the construction of the required
      crossovers/driveways:
      a.    The driveway surfacing must consist of either an approved hot mixed asphaltic
            concrete or patterned/plain concrete.
      b.    The driveway must be constructed so as not to concentrate or redirect stormwater
            runoff onto neighbouring properties.
      c.    Underground service conduits for water supply, electricity and any other services must
            be provided as part of the access driveway.
      d.    Where there is an existing pedestrian path, a matching crossfall must be provided for
            the driveway on the alignment of the path, for the full width of the path.
      e.    The property access must be located a minimum of 1m clear of existing power poles,
            streetlights or other signage. The developer is responsible for any necessary relocation
            of existing services to provide this clearance and must contact the relevant service
            authorities and comply with their requirements in relation to these works.
      Earthworks and Retaining Walls
51.   All earthworks shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of AS 3798 Guidelines
      on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development, with geotechnical testing
      undertaken in accordance with Section 8 of the Standard, and to a minimum of ‘Level 1’ as
      defined in Appendix B. Test results as required by AS 3798, and a certificate of quality and
      uniformity of fill shall be provided by a RPEQ and submitted to Council prior to Council signing
      the Plan of Survey.
      Stormwater Drainage
52.   Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including
      temporary outlets.
53.   Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage
      conditions on other properties (e.g. by blocking or interfering with natural overland flows).

                                                                                      Page 14 of 84
