The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part of the assessment manager conditions:
General Advisory Notes
As this driveway is a private structure, the owner bears full responsibly for the standard of its construction, maintenance and any liabilities associated with its construction. It is recommended that professional advice be sought for the construction of the driveway to ensure that the driveway is constructed in accordance with the applicable engineering standards and Standard Drawing SEQ R-050 (copy attached).
Council has undertaken an audit check of the Operational Works drawings in relations to the proposed works.  A detailed check of the accuracy of the drawings has not been undertaken. The applicant 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.
Inspections Request
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.
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.
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or obtain approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003.
The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that:  “A person who carries out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage.”   It is an offence to fail to comply with the duty of care.  Substantial monetary penalties may apply to individuals or corporations breaching this duty of care.  Injunctions may also be issued by the Land and Resources Tribunal, and the Minister administering the Act can also issue stop orders for an activity that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural heritage or the cultural heritage value of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
