                                                                                                 132008.1128.01

               5.     The Environmental Protection Act 1994 states that a person must not carry out any
                      activity that causes, or is likely to cause, environmental harm unless the person takes all
                      reasonable and practicable measures to prevent or minimise the harm. Environmental
                      harm includes environmental nuisance. In this regard persons and entities, involved in
                      the civil, earthworks and construction phases of this development, are to adhere to their
                      ‘general environmental duty’ to minimise the risk of causing environmental harm.
               6.     Environmental harm is defined by the Act as any adverse affect, or potential adverse
                      affect whether temporary or permanent and of whatever magnitude, duration or
                      frequency on an environmental value and includes environmental nuisance. Therefore,
                      no person should cause any interference with the environment or amenity of the area by
                      reason of the emission of noise, vibration, smell, fumes, smoke, vapour, steam, soot,
                      ash, dust, waste water, waste products, grit, sediment, oil or otherwise, or cause
                      hazards likely in the opinion of the administering authority to cause undue disturbance or
                      annoyance to persons or affect property not connected with the use.
               7.     The management of clinical waste must be conducted in accordance with the provisions
                      of the Environmental Protection (Waste Management) Regulation 2000- Part 5
                      Management of clinical and related wastes.
               8.     Due regard should be given to the design and location of noise emitting fixed plant and
                      equipment and any acoustic treatment that may be required. It is advised that an
                      appropriately qualified acoustic consultant be involved with the selection and installation
                      of such equipment. A qualified acoustic consultant can give advice on how to best locate
                      and design the equipment such that it can meet statutory noise or planning
                      requirements.
               9.     In accordance with the Public Health Act 2005, rainwater tanks must be constructed with
                      mosquito proof screens (made from either brass, copper, aluminium or stainless steel),
                      and constructed with a mesh size of no more than 1mm, and must be installed in a way
                      that does not accelerate corrosion. Tanks that contain flap valves must be installed so
                      that when closed, mosquitoes cannot pass through the valve. It is unlawful under the
                      Public Health Act 2005 to construct, install or be in possession of a tank that does not
                      comply with these requirements.
               Infrastructure Contributions
               10.    This development permit may trigger an “Adopted Infrastructure Charge Notice” (if
                      applicable) to be issued in accordance with Councils “Adopted Infrastructure Charges
                      Resolution (No.1) 2011” under the State Planning Regulatory Provision (Adopted
                      Charges) and the “Sustainable Planning Act 2009”.
               Equitable Access and Facilities
               11.    The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance with
                      the requirements of the Building Code of Australia – Part D3 as they relate to people
                      with disabilities. Your attention is also directed to the fact that in addition to the
                      requirements of the Building Code of Australia – Part D3 as they relate to people with
                      disabilities, one or both of the following may impact on the proposed building work:
                         (a)      the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth); and
                         (b)      Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland).
                         Sunshine Coast Regional 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 AS 1428.2;


                                                                                                 Page 17 of 21
