              c.    For public safety, the finish levels of crossover must ensure smooth
                    transition to existing surfaces such as the grassed verge and existing
                    concrete driveway.
              d.    Where applicable, underground service conduits for water supply,
                    electricity and any other services must be provided as part of the access
                    driveway works.
              e.    Have a minimum clearance of 500mm from any Unitywater/Telstra asset,
                    unless a written approval is obtained from Unitywater/Telstra and submitted
                    to Council.
        21.   Pavement design for privately owned works must be undertaken in accordance
              with the relevant standards and be designed and constructed to comply with the
              Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), Access to Premises Standard and relevant
              sections of AS1428 Design for access and mobility. 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.
              Earthworks
        22.   All earthworks associated must be undertaken in accordance with the provisions
              of AS 3798 Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential
              Development, with geotechnical supervision and testing undertaken in
              accordance with Section 8 of the Standard, and to a minimum of ‘Level 2’ as
              defined in Appendix B and the approved plans.
        23.   All Earthworks and construction works must be carried out taking into
              consideration the protection of any existing above and below surface services,
              and the stability and protection of fences and any buildings and structures on the
              adjoining properties.
              Damage to Services and Assets
        24.   Any damage caused to existing services, streetscape and assets (including kerb
              and footpath) as a result of the development works must be repaired at no cost
              to the asset owner at the following times:
              a.    Where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety,
                    immediately; or
              b.    Where otherwise, upon completion of the works associated with the
                    development.
              Any repair work which proposes to alter the alignment or level of existing services
              and assets must first be referred to the relevant service authority for approval.
              Erosion & Sediment Control
        25.   A construction hold point must be established with a council delegate and
              supervising RPEQ prior to commencement of cut to fill earthworks for each stage
              of the development. The hold point must be held as soon as reasonably practical
              and prior to the first rain event forecast following initial tree clearing or removal
              of soil stabilising material for each stage. At the hold point inspection, all required
              sediment basins, drains and bunds to divert waters away from disturbed soil or
              soils about to become exposed through cut to fill activities must be installed. All
              areas that will not require earthworks in the imminent cut to fill operation must be
              stabilised to prevent entrainment of sediments into receiving waters.
