                      Pavement Design and Construction
               17.    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 must be certified by an RPEQ.
                      Works within Road Reserve/Reinstatement
               18.    Safe vehicle and pedestrian access on all streets in the vicinity of the development must be
                      maintained at all times. Should footpath/road closures be necessary to carry out construction
                      works, Council’s Engineering Officer must be notified prior to the proposed closure and all
                      requirements complied with.
               19.    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.
               20.    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
               21.    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.
               22.    Pathways must:
                      a.      terminate in a manner that ensures smooth transition to existing surfaces for public
                              safety.
                      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.
                      Site Access and Driveways
               23.    Driveway crossovers must be constructed in accordance with Council’s Standard Drawing
                      RS-051 and any associated addendum.
               24.    Any existing unnecessary or redundant property accesses must be removed, and the kerb,
                      footpath and verge area reinstated to match the existing footpath and/or verge treatments.
                      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.
               25.    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.


                                                                                                       Page 8 of 18
