Works within Road Reserve
Any existing kerb & channel and/or concrete footpath sections requiring removal due to the new works must be saw-cut and removed to allow for a smooth and neat finish with the new works.
Verge area must be reinstated in a manner to match the footpath, kerb and/or verge treatments without creating fall, trip or slip hazards to the public road users and must be maintained by the developer/owner until established.
Note: In order to mitigate the potential of public liabilities due to trip and similar hazards, Council does not permit any unauthorized works within the road reserve such as steps, sleeper steppers, hazardous landscaping and the like.
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 should be generally certified by an RPEQ.

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, particular attention must be given to prevent sediment from entering into Council’s street stormwater drainage system. The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with current best practice standards (refer to advisory notes).
