PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                9 DECEMBER 2014


Advisory Notes
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
1.   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 on 07 32476212 to discuss any obligations
     under the ACH Act.
Infrastructure Charges
2.   This Development Permit will trigger an “Adopted Infrastructure Charge Notice” (if
     applicable) to be issued in accordance with Council’s “Adopted Infrastructure Charges
     Resolution” under the State Planning Regulatory Provision (Adopted Charges) and the
     Sustainable Planning Act 2009.
Qualified Persons
3.   For the purpose of preparing a Rehabilitation Plan, a qualified person is considered to be a
     landscape architect or ecologist with a minimum of 3 years current experience in the field of
     landscape design.
Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy
4.   The QLeave levy must be paid prior to the issue of a development permit where it is
     required. Council will not be able to issue a Decision Notice without receipt of details that
     the Levy has been paid. QLeave contact: 1800 803 481 (free call) or (07) 3212 6855.
Co-ordination of Operational Works Assessment
5.   Additional application fees apply to Operational Work 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.
Preparation of a Preliminary Construction Management Plan
6.   A preliminary Construction Management Plan must be submitted with the Operational
     Works application and must address the following:
     a.    traffic management during all aspects of the construction phase including:
           i.     a Traffic Management Control Plan in accordance with the Manual of Uniform
                  Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) detailing all temporary signage and traffic
                  control measures prior to construction
           ii.    maintenance of safe pedestrian access for the areas affected by the works
                  during and after daily construction has ceased
           iii.   proposed fencing to the site during the construction phase of the development
           iv.    approval of the Traffic Management Control Plan by the Department of
                  Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) for any works on State controlled roads
