               28.    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.
               29.    Electrical conduits or other services proposed to be installed within existing and proposed
                      road reserves under existing sealed carriageways, concrete pathways, concrete/sealed
                      driveways or significant vegetation must be installed by boring. Trenching is not permitted,
                      unless specifically approved by Council.
                      Pathways
               30.    All pathways must be constructed in accordance with the following requirements:
                      a.      All footpath/cycleway must comply with Council’s Standard Drawing SEQ R-065;
                      b.      Provision must be made for disabled access at all kerb crossings associated with
                              pathways, in accordance with Council's current standards;
                      c.      All paths must have a slip resistant surface;
                      d.      Expansion and contraction joints must provide a flush finish. Installation of joints by
                              saw cutting is preferred to ensure a smooth ride for cyclists;
                      e.      The required work includes any modifications to ensure the footpath finishes flush with
                              all existing service covers and the like, or alternatively these services are raised or
                              altered, so as not to create a pedestrian safety hazard; and
               31.    Pathways must:
                      a.      terminate in a manner that ensures smooth transition to existing surfaces for public
                              safety; and
                      b.      be designed and constructed to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA),
                              Access to Premises Standard, Austroads and relevant sections of AS1428 Design for
                              access and mobility.
                      Driveways
               32.    Driveway crossovers must be constructed in accordance with council’s Standard Drawings
                      RS-049 and RS-050.
               33.    The following must be complied with during the construction of the required
                      crossover/driveway:
                      a.      The driveway surfacing must consist of either an approved hot mixed asphaltic
                              concrete or patterned/plain concrete
                      b.      The driveway must be constructed so as not to concentrate stormwater runoff onto
                              neighbouring properties;
                      c.      underground service conduits for water supply, electricity and any other services must
                              be provided as part of the access driveway;
                      d.      where there is an existing pedestrian path, a matching crossfall must be provided for
                              the driveway on the alignment of the path, for the full width of the path;
                      e.      have a minimum clearance of 500mm from any Unitywater/Energex/Telstra asset,
                              unless a written approval is obtained from Unitywater/Energex/Telstra and submitted
                              to Council;
                      f.      the property access must be located a minimum of 1m clear of existing power poles,
                              streetlights or other signage; and
                      g.      The developer is responsible for any necessary relocation of existing services to
                              provide this clearance and must contact the relevant service authorities and comply
                              with their requirements in relation to these works.
