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
               v.     provision for worker car parking
