SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
The driveway crossover must be constructed generally in accordance Council’s Standard Drawings RS-056 and any associated addendum
The following must be complied with during the construction of the required crossover/driveway:
The headwalls must be concrete headwalls
The surfacing must be suitably compacted and have a bonded surface (cement or other suitable product). The surfacing must be sufficiently bound to ensure that loose material is not transported on to the road formation
the driveway must be constructed so as to not concentrate or direct stormwater runoff onto neighbouring properties or the road formation or create additional ponding on the road reserve/formation
PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF WORKS
Engineering
All necessary approvals from external service providers (eg Unitywater) and external parties on which the development works are proposed have been obtained and a copy supplied to Council.
A condition report including photographs of the frontage of the site must be completed and submitted to council at the prestart meeting / prior to any works commencing.
Certificates demonstrating currency of public liability insurance and works insurance covering the works must be submitted to Council prior to the prestart meeting.
Council must be contacted at least 5 working days prior to any works commencing to organise a prestart. The contact number to arrange a pre-start meeting is 5329 6500. The pre-start meeting must include the relevant parties for the following aspects of the works:
Civil engineering works;
Erosion and sediment control works;
Other relevant parties
A Construction Management Plan must be submitted to Council prior to the pre-start meeting and must specifically address the following:
appropriate traffic signage in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)
provision for safe vehicle and pedestrian access across the frontage of the site both during daily construction and after daily construction has ceased.
Any conflict between the development and an existing or proposed service must be referred to the relevant service authority for determination prior to commencement of works.
DURING CONSTRUCTION
Engineering
The developer must meet any costs to repair damage to any Council asset during construction, 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/documents 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
Pavement Design and Construction
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.
Works within Road Reserve/Reinstatement
Safe pedestrian access on all streets in the vicinity of the development must be maintained at all times. Should footpath/road closures be necessary to carry out construction works, Council’s Engineering Officer must be notified prior to the proposed closure and all requirements complied with.
All frontage works must match neatly with existing road and verge/footpath features. Additional works beyond the frontage may be required to provide an acceptable transition to existing road and verge/footpath profiles.
Stormwater Drainage
Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage conditions on other properties or the road reserve (eg by blocking or interfering with natural overland flows) or create ponding of stormwater on the road reserve.
Erosion and Sediment Control
Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental Protection Regulation 2019) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination.
Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If such measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the spot” fines may be issued. Such fines can be issued if sediments from the site are found to enter or have the potential to enter Council’s stormwater system, natural waterways, any downstream stormwater filtration system or adversely impacting on other properties.  It is the principal contractor who is responsible for ensuring that the sediment and erosion control measures have:
Been properly installed
Been revised to address predicted rainfall events, and
Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be found inefficient.
The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and prior to rainfall occurring.
The developer 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 and/or machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and sediment control measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including vehicle shakedown pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where sediments or other contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s drainage system or waterways.
Prior to the completion of the development and commencement of use, 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.
Damage to Services and Assets
Any damage caused to existing services and assets as a result of the development works must be repaired at no cost to the asset owner at the following times:
where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety, immediately; or
where otherwise, upon completion of the works associated with the development.
Any repair work which proposes to alter the alignment or level of existing services and assets must first be referred to the relevant service authority for approval.
FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION
A final inspection and approval of the new driveway and completed reinstatement works by Council’s Inspector is required. Please contact Council on 5329 6500 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. 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 RS-056 (a copy is attached).
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.
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
Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5 business days notice of preferred inspection time.
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.
A minimum maintenance period of 12 months will apply to all municipal works and thereafter until such time as the works are performing in accordance with the approved design unless noted otherwise
Environmental Advisory Notes
