                                                                          MCU14/0091


     Equitable Access and Facilities
1.   The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance
     with the requirements of the National Construction Code - Building Code of
     Australia (Volume 1) as they relate to people with disabilities. Your attention is
     also directed to the fact that in addition to the requirements of the National
     Construction Code as they relate to people with disabilities, one or more of the
     following may impact on the proposed building work:
     a.   the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
     b.   the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
     c.   the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
     Development Compliance Inspection
2.   Prior to the commencement of the use, please contact Council's DA Planning
     Section to arrange a Development Compliance Inspection.
     Infrastructure Charges
3.   This Development Permit will trigger an “Infrastructure Charge Notice” to be issued
     in accordance with Council’s “Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution” under
     the State Planning Regulatory Provision (Adopted Charges) and the Sustainable
     Planning Act 2009.
     Noise
4.   It is highly recommended the person engaged to certify the installation of
     mechanical equipment is involved at the plan development stage to recommend
     where this equipment is best located. They can also advise about noise enclosures
     and can make other suggestions to avoid noise problems. It is a lot more costly to
     try and deal with noise problems after everything is built.
     Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy
5.   The QLeave levy must be paid prior to the issue of a development permit where it
     is required. Council will not be able to issue a Decision Notice without receipt of
     details that the Levy has been paid. QLeave contact: 1800 803 481 (free call) or
     (07) 3212 6855.
     Co-ordination of Operational Works Assessment
6.   Additional application fees apply to Operational Work applications where the
     different aspects of the works are lodged separately. Significant savings in
     application fees will result if all works are lodged in a single application.
     Preparation of a Preliminary Construction Management Plan
7.   A preliminary Construction Management Plan must be submitted with the
     Operational Works application and must address the following:
     a.   traffic management during all aspects of the construction phase including:
          i.    a Traffic Management Control Plan in accordance with the Manual of
                Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) detailing all temporary
                signage and traffic control measures prior to construction
          ii.   maintenance of safe pedestrian access for the areas affected by the
                works during and after daily construction has ceased
