Attachment 3—Further advice


General advice
1.   Transport Noise Corridor
Mandatory Part (MP) 4.4 of the Queensland Development Code (QDC) commenced on 1
September 2010 and applies to building work for the construction or renovation of a residential
building in a designated transport noise corridor. MP4.4 seeks to ensure that the habitable rooms
of Class 1, 2, 3 and 4 buildings located in a transport noise corridor are designed and constructed
to reduce transport noise. Transport noise corridor means land designated under Chapter 8B of the
Building Act 1975 as a transport noise corridor. Information about transport noise corridors is
available at state and local government offices. A free online search tool can be used to find out
whether a property is located in a designated transport noise corridor. This tool is available at the
Department of Housing and Public Works website:
http://www.hpw.qld.gov.au/construction/BuildingPlumbing/Building/TransportNoiseCorridors/Pages/
TransportNoiseCorridorSearchTool.aspx and allows searches on a registered lot number and/or
property address to determine whether and how the QDC applies to the land.
Further development permits, compliance permits or compliance certificates
2. Condition 2 & 4 requires road access works approval
Under sections 62 and 33 of the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994, written approval is required from
the Department of Transport and Main Roads to obtain a legal point of access and to carry out road
works that are road access works (including driveways) on a state-controlled road. Please contact
the Department of Transport and Main Roads via [email protected] or 5451 7055,
to make an application for a road access and road works approval. This approval must be obtained
prior to commencing any works on the state-controlled road reserve. The approval process may
require the approval of engineering designs of the proposed works, certified by a Registered
Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).

The road access works approval process takes time – please contact Transport and Main Roads as
soon as possible to ensure that gaining approval does not delay construction.
