the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
Development Compliance Inspection
Prior to the commencement of the use, please contact Council's DA Planning Section to arrange a Development Compliance Inspection.
INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES
This Development Permit will trigger an “Infrastructure Charge Notice” to be issued in accordance with Council’s “Charges Resolution” made pursuant to the planning legislation and regulations current at the time of issue.
ENGINEERING
General Advisory Notes
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.
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 Sustainable Planning Act 2009 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this application along with the appropriate fees.
Prestart
Contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5 business day’s notice of preferred inspection time.
It should be noted prior to arranging a pre-start meeting the Right of Appeal Period of 20 business days should have been passed or the applicant has have confirmed by a letter or an email that he/she has accepted the conditions of Decision Notice and waived his/her appeal right.
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
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
Accepted best practice standards include:
Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control, International Erosion Control Association (2008).
As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if at the time of the plan sealing inspection:
Methods of stabilisation are:
appropriate for slopes and slope lengths; and
are consistent with best practice environmental management practices such as in the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control or the IECA Manual; and
Stormwater runoff from the site is not currently, and is not likely to result in visible evidence of sedimentation or erosion, or lead to water contamination.
If at the time of request for plan sealing, the method of short-term stabilisation has not achieved a level of stability that Council's Officers believe will have a high probability of achieving long term stability (i.e. until house construction has occurred on all lots), Council Officers may take the following matters into consideration in determining whether the site is capable of achieving medium to long-term stability:
evidence that the site has been effectively stabilised in the short term;
evidence that soil has been adequately ameliorated;
evidence that seed of annual and perennial grass species has been applied at an adequate rate; and
that grass seed has germinated at a density that is likely to achieve an effective grass cover.
For example, while hydromulch can provide an immediate and effective stabilising cover to soils, the protective cover can be relatively short-lived if vegetation fails to establish before the thin layer of mulch decomposes. So if hydromulch is selected as the method of temporary short term stabilisation, Council Officers will seek to confirm that perennial as well as annual grasses are well established at the time of plan sealing to reduce the risk of instability of the site in the medium to long term. As a general rule, hydromulch will only be accepted as a “patch” fix and should comprise no more than 20% of the exposed site area due to the high risk of failure. Due to the requirement to progressively stabilise exposed areas, it is not envisioned that this will present any difficulties for an appropriately managed and compliant site.
Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy
Where it is required, the QLeave levy should be paid prior to arranging the prestart meeting. The details that the Levy has been paid must be submitted to Council prior to the prestart. QLeave contact: 1800 803 481 (free call) or (07) 3212 6855.
