site details
Background
The applicant has had a temporary gravel secondary crossover in place. Through correspondence with Council for a separate DBW application, the Applicant was advised an Operational Works application is required for a second crossover. This application has been submitted as the property owner wishes to remove the temporary crossover and construct a formal second crossover to provide access to a proposed shed.
Site Description
The verge has a slight rise from the back of kerb to the property boundary with a 2.0m wide concrete footpath existing in the verge. The crossover will be constructed approximately 18m away from the existing temporary gravel crossover. A condition has been added for the removal of the gravel crossover and reinstatement of the verge area.

Bonds
A site control and/or compliance bond of $2500 is to be submitted to Council prior to the pre-start meeting. The pre-start meeting will only be held once Council's Construction Engineering Officer has confirmation that the bond monies have been received by Council.

The contractor must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the extent of works and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather conditions. Exposed areas must be suitably covered/stabilised/reinstated as soon as practicable and prior to any predicted rainfall occurring.
