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 the retaining wall 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 retaining wall.
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, On and Off Maintenance Inspections Request
Contact Council on 5329 6245 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
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:
the Sunshine Coast Regional Council Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control V1.2 or other superseding document subsequently adopted by Council;
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 completion of the works:
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.
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or obtain approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003.
The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that:  “A person who carries out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage.”   It is an offence to fail to comply with the duty of care.  Substantial monetary penalties may apply to individuals or corporations breaching this duty of care.  Injunctions may also be issued by the Land and Resources Tribunal, and the Minister administering the Act can also issue stop orders for an activity that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural heritage or the cultural heritage value of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
You should contact the Cultural Heritage Co-ordination Unit on 07 3247 6212 to discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.
property notes
A property note will be placed against the subject property in Council’s property record system to advise owners and prospective purchasers of the property owner responsibility to maintain the retaining wall and associated structures.
