Grassed verge areas to be reinstated must be provided with 100 mm topsoil and grass seed or turf, and must be maintained by the developer until established.
The road grassed verge must be modified and reinstated to smoothly match the levels of the new driveway and any existing services (eg stormwater pit, sewer manhole, Telstra pit) to minimise potential of trip and fall hazard.  Any necessary adjustments to the levels of existing services, if required, must be referred to and approved by the relevant service providers with all cost be met by the applicant/owners.
Any existing kerb & channel and/or concrete footpath sections requiring removal due to the new works must be saw-cut and removed to allow for a smooth and neat finish with the new works.

Any landscaping works along the frontage grassed verge must allow for safe and unobstructed passage of pedestrians along this side of the road.
Any conduits for electrical power or other services and connections (eg stormwater pipeline) 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.
To minimise potential of trip and fall hazard, the road grassed verge must be reinstated to smoothly match the levels of the new driveway and any existing services (eg stormwater pit, sewer manhole, Telstra pit).  Any necessary adjustments to the levels of existing services, if required, must be referred to and approved by the relevant service providers with all cost be met by the developer/owners.
Note: In order to mitigate the potential of public liabilities due to trip and similar hazards, Council does not permit any unauthorized works within the road reserve such as steps, sleeper steppers, hazardous landscaping and the like.
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 and should be generally certified by an RPEQ.
Stormwater Drainage
Any proposed surface stormwater grated channel or pit must be located wholly within private property
Any stormwater kerb outlet in a close proximity to the edge of the new driveway must be provided with an approved durable kerb adaptor. No kerb inlet be located within the width (eg the layback section) of the driveway.
The proposed driveway and associated works must be provided with adequate stormwater drainage and must not adversely impact on the existing drainage conditions on other properties.
