                      Equitable Access and Facilities
               2.     The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance with the
                      requirements of the National Construction Code - Building Code of Australia (Volume 1) as
                      they relate to people with disabilities. Your attention is also directed to the fact that in addition
                      to the requirements of the National Construction Code as they relate to people with
                      disabilities, one or more of the following may impact on the proposed building work:
                      d.      the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
                      e.      the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
                      f.      the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
                      Sustainability
               3.     Council encourages sustainable and energy efficient building design for all development,
                      including the use of sustainable building materials, energy efficient fittings, solar hot water,
                      photovoltaic systems (including the use of inverter/charges), solar panels, water saving
                      devices and rainwater harvesting.
                      General Advisory Notes
               4.     As this driveway is a private structure, the owner bears full responsibly for the standard of its
                      construction, maintenance and any liabilities associated with its construction. It is
                      recommended that professional advice be sought for the construction of the driveway to
                      ensure that the driveway is constructed in accordance with standard drawings RS-049, RS-
                      050 and any associated addendum.
               5.     Council has undertaken an audit check of the Operational Works drawings in relations to the
                      proposed works. A detailed check of the calculations and drawings has not been undertaken,
                      as they have been certified by a RPEQ. The RPEQ bears full responsibility for all aspects of
                      the engineering design. Council reserves the right to require further amendments and/or
                      additions at a later date should design errors become apparent.
               6.     Council reserves the right to call up any performance bond held or levy charges against the
                      property, should emergency works be required to be undertaken by Council to make the site
                      safe due to inactivity on the development site for extended periods of time.
               7.     Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of
                      construction constraints, a “Request to change an existing approval” under the Planning Act
                      2016 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this
                      application along with the appropriate fees.
                      Prestart, On and Off Maintenance Inspections Request
               8.     Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5
                      business days’ notice of preferred inspection time.
               9.     If Council officers are required to undertake additional inspections of the same works, a
                      reinspection fee will be applicable in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges register
                      applicable at the time.
                      Environmental Advisory Notes
               10.    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,
                      construction and landscaping phases of this development are to adhere to their ‘general
                      environmental duty’ to minimise the risk of causing environmental harm.
                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               11.    Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
