GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                12 January 2015


         Infrastructure Charges
   4.    This Development Permit will trigger an “Infrastructure Charge Notice” to be issued in
         accordance with Council’s “Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution” under the
         State Planning Regulatory Provision (Adopted Charges) and the Sustainable
         Planning Act 2009.
         General Advisory Notes
   5.    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.

   6.    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.

   7.    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.
         Prestart, On and Off Maintenance Inspections Request
   8.    Contact Council on 5329 6244 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a
         minimum of 5 business days’ notice of preferred inspection time.

   9.    If Council officers are required to undertake additional inspections of the same works,
         a reinspection fee will be applicable in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges
         register applicable at the time.
         Erosion and Sediment Control
   10.   Accepted best practice standards include:
         a.   the Sunshine Coast Regional Council Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control
              V1.2 or other superseding document subsequently adopted by Noosa Council;
         b.   Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control, International Erosion Control
              Association (2008)

   11.   As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term
         stabilisation if at the time of the request for “on maintenance”:
         a.     Methods of stabilisation are:
                •     appropriate for slopes and slope lengths; and
                •     are consistent with best practice environmental management practices
                      such as in the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control or the IECA
                      Manual; and
                •     Stormwater runoff from the site is not currently, and is not likely to result
                      in visible evidence of sedimentation or erosion, or lead to water
                      contamination.

   12.   If at the time of request for “on maintenance”, the method of short-term stabilisation
         has not achieved a level of stability that Council's Officers believe will have a high
         probability of achieving long term stability, Council Officers may take the following
         matters into consideration in determining whether the site is capable of achieving
         medium to long-term stability:

                                                                                  Page 61 of 147
