SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
At the prestart meeting, an assessment must be undertaken to determine whether the existing trees on road reserve interfere with the sight lines for a vehicle leaving the site. If Council officers determine that the removal of the trees is required, then these must be replaced – the verge must be reinstated and the species and location of the new trees is to be determined at the time of the prestart meeting.
Works are to ensure that the root zones of the trees on Road Reserve are not affected. In the event that the root zones of the trees on Road Reserve get damaged by the works under the approval, the developer is required to replace the damaged tree – the species and location of the tree must be undertaken in consultation with Council.
PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF THE WORKS
Engineering
Tree protection fencing must be installed.
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;
Erosion and Sediment Control;
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.
appropriate traffic signage in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)
provision for safe pedestrian access across the frontage of the site both during and outside working hours.
Any changes to the details associated with the Principal Contractor during construction, must be notified to council in writing within five business days of the change occurring.
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
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.
All works must be constructed and work procedure undertaken in accordance with:
the approved plans/documents 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
No removal of street trees is 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 features. Additional works beyond the frontage may be required to provide an acceptable transition to existing road and verge/footpath profiles.
Driveways
Driveway crossovers must be constructed generally in accordance with council’s Standard Drawings RS-049, RS-050 and respective addendums.
The kerb, footpath and verge area must be reinstated to match the existing 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.
The following must be complied with during the construction of the required crossover/driveway:
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 concentrate or direct stormwater runoff onto neighbouring properties;
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.
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 or the road reserve.
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
A final inspection and approval of the new driveway and completed reinstatement works by Council’s Inspector is required.  Please contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange for the inspection.
