DURING CONSTRUCTION Engineering 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 supervised by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) who is independent of the Developer and Principal Contractor, and they must certify that all works conform to the Operational Works permit. Where municipal works are involved, such confirmation must be submitted for the respective hold points prior to any site inspection by Council Officers. All works must be constructed and work procedure undertaken in accordance with: The approved plans and conditions detailed in this Decision Notice The relevant conditions of the higher order Material Change of Use approval Ref. MCU16/0143.01 to which this approval relates 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 Pavement Design and Construction 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 and must be certified by an RPEQ. Works within Road Reserve/Reinstatement 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 frontage 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. Any damaged concrete pathway, landscaping and kerb & channel must be repaired and rectified at the completion of the works to the reasonable satisfaction of Council. Electrical conduits or other services proposed to be installed within existing and proposed road reserves under existing sealed carriageways, concrete pathways, concrete/sealed driveways or significant vegetation must be installed by boring.

Test results as required by AS 3798, and a certificate of quality and uniformity of fill shall be provided by a RPEQ and made available to Council if requested. Fall protection must be provided to any retaining walls that are over 1m high. Slope and batters are a maximum grade of: 1 in 6 where in proximity to waterbodies 1 in 4 for grassed areas. 1 in 3 for planted areas 1 in 2 for combined structural engineering and planting solutions. Stormwater Drainage Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including temporary outlets. Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage conditions on other properties (eg by blocking or interfering with natural overland flows). Construction of all internal stormwater drainage works must comply with the relevant section/s of Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.3. 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. 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 E&SC Advisory Notes). Limit soil exposure on the site to a distance of no more than 2m beyond the extent of earthworks shown on the approved plans except where the exposed soil is effectively stabilised without delay and prior to rainfall occurring. Prior to the completion of the development, all site surfaces must be effectively stabilised using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation and which will continue to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium- to long-term (refer to E&SC Advisory Notes). For the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that does not, or is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion or lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination. Damage to Services and Assets Any damage caused to existing services and assets as a result of the development works must be repaired at no cost to the asset owner at the following times: Where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety, immediately. or 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. FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION Certification Upon completion of the work a certificate must be issued by an RPEQ certifying that the works have been constructed in accordance with the Operational Works permit. On Maintenance All municipal works (including any repairs to frontage works and/or hauling routes etc) must be accepted ‘On Maintenance’ by Council in accordance with Council’s relevant Planning Scheme Policy prior to plan sealing. To achieve ‘On Maintenance’, the supervising RPEQ must submit to Council: Certification that all works have been undertaken and completed in accordance with the applicable standards and/or the requirements of this Permit. As Constructed details in accordance with Council’s Planning Scheme Policy, if applicable. Off Maintenance Prior to requesting an Off Maintenance inspection the developer must provide a written request for the Off Maintenance inspection. A re-inspection fee in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charge Register will be charged where: A Council inspection reveals works do not comply with the applicable standards. A final inspection and approval of the completed reinstatement works by Council’s Inspector is required. Please contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange for the inspection. referral agencies Not applicable. Advisory notes The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part of the assessment manager conditions: General Advisory Notes 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. 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. 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 Planning Act 2016 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 Contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5 business days notice of preferred inspection time. It should be noted prior to arranging a pre-start meeting the Right of Appeal Period of 20 business days should have been passed or the applicant has have confirmed by a letter or an email that he/she has accepted the conditions of Decision Notice and waived his/her appeal right. 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. A minimum maintenance period of 12 months will apply to all reinstatement works of municipal assets and thereafter until such time as the works are performing in accordance with the approved design unless noted otherwise. Environmental Advisory Notes The Environmental Protection Act 1994 states that a person must not carry out any activity that causes, or is likely to cause, environmental harm unless the person takes all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent or minimise the harm. Environmental harm includes environmental nuisance. In this regard persons and entities, involved in the civil, earthworks, construction and landscaping phases of this development are to adhere to their ‘general environmental duty’ to minimise the risk of causing environmental harm. Erosion and Sediment Control Accepted best practice standards include: the Sunshine Coast Regional Council Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control V1.2 or other superseding document subsequently adopted by Council; Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control, International Erosion Control Association (2008) As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if at the time of the plan sealing inspection: 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. If at the time of request for plan sealing, 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 (i.e. until house construction has occurred on all lots), Council Officers may take the following matters into consideration in determining whether the site is capable of achieving medium to long-term stability: evidence that the site has been effectively stabilised in the short term; evidence that soil has been adequately ameliorated; evidence that seed of annual and perennial grass species has been applied at an adequate rate; and that grass seed has germinated at a density that is likely to achieve an effective grass cover. For example, while hydromulch can provide an immediate and effective stabilising cover to soils, the protective cover can be relatively short-lived if vegetation fails to establish before the thin layer of mulch decomposes. So if hydromulch is selected as the method of temporary short term stabilisation, Council Officers will seek to confirm that perennial as well as annual grasses are well established at the time of plan sealing to reduce the risk of instability of the site in the medium to long term. As a general rule, hydromulch will only be accepted as a “patch” fix and should comprise no more than 20% of the exposed site area due to the high risk of failure. Due to the requirement to progressively stabilise exposed areas, it is not envisioned that this will present any difficulties for an appropriately managed and compliant site Qualified Person Qualified Person, for the purpose of: Supervising landscape works and preparing a landscape certification, is considered to be a landscape architect, landscape designer or horticulturist with a minimum of three years current experience in the field of landscape design. Undertaking, supervising tree works and preparing arboriculture certification, is considered to be a person with a minimum three years current experience in tree protection, hazard identification/mitigation and Specifying Trees – a guide to assessment of tree quality (NATSPEC) assessment and either: International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certification; or A Diploma of Arboriculture. Undertaking Fauna site works and calculating compensatory habitat is considered to be a Fauna Spotter Catcher with current certification under the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. Public amenity trees are defined as any tree located within public streets, parks or areas that will become publically owned as a result of this development. property notes Not applicable. VARIATION approval details Not applicable. further development permits required Type of Development Permit Required Subject of the required Development Permit Development Permit for Operational Works Driveway and Carparking submissions Not applicable.
