SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
This permit approval relates to the vehicle crossover within the road reserve only.
PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION
Engineering
The principal contractor must have all the appropriate insurance and public liability documentation to carry out the works.
Any conflict between the development and an existing or proposed service must be referred to the relevant service authority for determination and/or approval.
DURING CONSTRUCTION
Engineering
The integrity and condition of any existing public or Council infrastructure and services (above ground and/or underground) must not be or have been adversely affected by the proposed works
Where applicable, the developer must meet any costs to repair any damage to any public and Council asset, where damage is a result of the development works. Damage to assets must be repaired immediately where it creates a hazard to the community. In circumstances where the damage does not create a hazard to the community, it must be repaired immediately on completion of the works associated with the development.
All works must be constructed and work procedure undertaken in accordance with:
The approved plans and conditions detailed in this Decision Notice.
All relevant Noosa Council Planning Scheme Policies, standard drawings, standard specifications and guidelines.
The latest version of the Healthy Waterways document “Water Sensitive Urban Design Technical Design Guidelines for South East Queensland” for all water quality devices to be constructed on site.
Works within Road Reserves
Safe pedestrian access on all streets in the vicinity of the development must be maintained at all times.
Disturbed grassed verge areas must be reinstated and be provided with 100 mm topsoil and grass seed or turf, and must be maintained by the developer until established
All works within the road reserve must be fully stabilised and match neatly with existing road and verge features. Additional works beyond the frontage may be required to provide an acceptable transition to existing road and verge profiles.
Driveway
Driveway crossover must be provided generally in accordance with the approved plans and council’s applicable standards drawings.
Pavement design for privately owned works must be undertaken in accordance with the relevant standards.  Structural integrity of the driveway and car park areas will remain the responsibility of the property owner/developer.
Stormwater Drainage
Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage conditions on other properties (eg by blocking or interfering with natural overland flows).
The constructed driveway must not cause additional ponding on the road formation or the road reserve.
Any surface drainage grate or grated channel must be located wholly within private property.
Environment - Erosion and Sediment Control
The developer/owner must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles. It is essential that all site surfaces must be effectively stabilised using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation and which will continue to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium to long-term. For the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that does not, or is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion or lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination.
FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION
A certificate must be issued by an RPEQ certifying that the completed works have been constructed in accordance with the requirements of this Operational Works permit and the applicable engineering standards.
A final inspection and approval of the new driveway and completed reinstatement works by Council’s Inspector is required.  Please contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange for the inspection.

Advisory notes
The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part of the assessment manager conditions:
General Advisory Notes
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.
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.
Environmental Advisory Notes
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.
