4.    No posts or vertical supports of the proposed jetty are to extend vertically from the

      purpose of elevating a vessel above the water without Council approval.
6.    The jetty must be constructed in a manner to render the underside area vermin
      proof.

      Protection Act (EPA) 1994 and the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy 2009.
14.   The approval or conditions do not constitute a ruling on structural safety and the
      applicant must make their own arrangements to ensure adequacy of design and
      work. Also any approval granted does not warrant that such plans and
      specifications have been checked in detail, nor does it absolve the owner of the
      land from complying with all the conditions of this approval and/or relevant Council
      By-Laws and Policies and/or relevant statutes and/or statutory regulations in the
      execution and/or performance of said works. The Council does not accept any

      no detrimental affect on the existing revetment walls.

      required. Please contact Council’s Planning Assessment Section (Development
      Audit & Response Officer 0428738563) to arrange the inspection.
17.   This approval lapses where the construction of the jetty has not been commenced
      within two (2) years of the date of issue of the approval, unless application is made
      and approved by Council for an extension.
18.   After completion, the proposed works must be maintained in a sound state of
      repair in accordance with the approved plans




                                                                                   Page 2 of 7

8.    ADVISORY NOTES

The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not
form part of the assessment manager conditions:

      General
1.    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.
2.    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.




                                                                                     Page 3 of 7

3.    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.

      Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
4.    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 3239 3647 to
      discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.

During the appeal period, you as the applicant may suspend your appeal period and
make written representations to Council about the conditions contained within the
development approval. If Council agrees or agrees in part with the representations, a
“negotiated decision notice” will be issued. Only one “negotiated decision notice” may
be given. Taking this step will defer your appeal period, which will commence again
from the start the day after you receive a “negotiated decision notice”.
