assessment manager conditions
CURRENCY PERIOD
The Currency Period for this development approval lapses if the development has not substantially started by <insert day due to lapse>, unless an application to extend the currency period is approved by Council.
PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION
Engineering
A condition report including photographs of the frontage of the site must be completed and submitted to Council at the prestart meeting.
The principal contractor must have all the appropriate insurance and public liability documentation to carry out the works. The principal contractor is also responsible to ensure that any subcontractors also have the appropriate insurance and public liability documentation. Certificates demonstrating currency of public liability insurance and works insurance covering the works must be submitted to Council prior to the prestart meeting.
Council must be contacted at least 5 working days prior to any works commencing to organise a prestart. The contact number to arrange a pre-start meeting is 5329 6245. The pre-start meeting must include the relevant parties for the following aspects of the works:
Civil engineering works;
A Construction Management Plan must be submitted to Council prior to the pre-start meeting and must specifically address the following:
Traffic Management during the construction phase to address traffic safety issues and minimise impact on traffic flows in the local streets.
Appropriate traffic signage in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) during all stages of the works.
Provision for safe pedestrian access across the frontage of the site both during and after working hours.
All reasonable measures to minimise adverse environmental impact on other properties and the road’s users, including dust and noise emissions.
Any conflict between the development and an existing or proposed service must be referred to the relevant service authority for determination prior to commencement of works.
DURING CONSTRUCTION
Engineering
The integrity and condition of any existing public or Council infrastructure and services (above ground and/or underground) must not be adversely affected by the proposed works.
The developer must meet any costs to repair damage to any Council asset during construction, where damage is a result of the development works. Damage to assets must be repaired immediately where it creates a hazard to the community. In circumstances where the damage does not create a hazard to the community, it must be repaired immediately on completion of the works associated with the development.
All works must be constructed and work procedure undertaken in accordance with:
The approved plans and conditions detailed in this Decision Notice.
All relevant Noosa Council Planning Scheme Policies, standard drawings, standard specifications and guidelines.
The latest version of the Healthy Waterways document “Water Sensitive Urban Design Technical Design Guidelines for South East Queensland” for all water quality devices to be constructed on site.
Works within Road Reserves
Any removal of any existing trees within the road reserve is not permitted without Council’s prior written approval.
Safe 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.
All 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.
Driveways
Driveway crossover must be constructed generally in accordance with the current IPWEA standard drawing RS-051, Type A. The following must be complied with during the construction of the required crossover/driveway:
The crossover maximum widths of 5.0m at the boundary line and 6.5 at kerb line.
The driveway surfacing must consist of either an approved hot mixed asphaltic concrete or patterned/plain concrete.
The driveway must be in accordance with the requirements of AS2890.1 Off-Street Car Parking for longitudinal and crossfall gradients.
The driveway must be constructed so as to not cause ponding on, or direct stormwater runoff onto neighbouring properties.
Where required, underground service conduits for water supply, electricity and any other services must be provided as part of the access driveway.
Have a minimum clearance of 500mm from any Unitywater/Energex/Telstra asset, unless a written approval is obtained from Unitywater/Energex/Telstra and submitted to Council.
Any stormwater kerb outlet in close proximity to the edge of the new driveway must be provided with an approved kerb adaptor.
Any existing kerb sections requiring removal due to the works must be saw-cut and removed to allow for a smooth and neat finish with the new driveway.
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.
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.
Stormwater Drainage
The constructed driveway must not cause additional ponding on the road formation, the grassed verge or any adjoining property.
Any proposed surface drainage grate or channel must be located wholly within private property.
Environment - Erosion and Sediment Control
Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in the Environmental Protection Act 1994) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination.
The contractor must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the extent of works and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather conditions. Exposed areas must be suitably covered/stabilised/reinstated as soon as practicable and prior to any predicted rainfall occurring.
Erosion and sediment control measures must be installed and maintained to minimise erosion on the site and to minimise the export of sediment and associated pollutants from the site. The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with current best practice standards (refer to advisory notes).
FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION
Upon completion of the work a certificate must be issued by an RPEQ or a suitably qualified person certifying that the works have been constructed in accordance with the requirements of this Operational Works permit.
