Attachment 2—Advice to the applicant

General advice
1.      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. 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 online at: https://www.business.qld.gov.au/industries/building-property-
        development/building-construction/laws-codes-standards/queensland-development-
        code/transport-noise-corridor-search

        This tool allows searches on a registered lot number and/or property address to determine
        whether and how the QDC applies to the land.
2.      The applicant is advised that if any works and/or connections are required to public utility
        services within a State-controlled road reserve, approval must be given by the Department of
        Transport and Main Roads under the relevant public utility legislation (electricity, water/sewer,
        telecommunication), and in accordance with TMR technical standards (TN163). Approvals must
        be obtained prior to commencing any utility works within the state-controlled road reserve.
        Please contact the public utility team via [email protected] for further information on
        the application and approval process.
3.      Under section 33 of the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994, written approval is required from the
        Department of Transport and Main Roads to carry out road works on a state-controlled road.
        Please     contact     the   Department      of    Transport     and     Main     Roads’      on
        [email protected] to make an application for 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).
        Please contact the Department of Transport and Main Roads’ as soon as possible to ensure
        that gaining approval does not delay construction.
