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 6500. The pre-start meeting must include the relevant parties for the following aspects of the works:
Civil engineering works;
Other relevant parties
A Construction Management Plan must be submitted to Council prior to the pre-start meeting and must specifically address the following:
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 daily construction and after daily construction has ceased.
Any changes to the details associated with the supervising RPEQ or 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
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/documents and conditions detailed in this Decision Notice;
The relevant conditions of the higher order Material Change of Use approval viz. MCU20/0007 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.
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 features. Additional works beyond the frontage may be required to provide an acceptable transition to existing road and verge/footpath profiles.
Site Access and Driveways
Driveway crossover must be constructed generally in accordance Council’s Standard Drawings RS-056.
Any existing unnecessary or redundant property accesses must be removed and the verge area 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 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.
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
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 (e.g. 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.
Erosion and Sediment Control
Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental Protection Regulation 2019) 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.
Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If such measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the spot” fines may be issued. Such fines can be issued if sediments from the site are found to enter or have the potential to enter Council’s stormwater system, natural waterways, any downstream stormwater filtration system or adversely impacting on other properties.  The sediment and erosion control design and measures have NOT been approved, it is the site's Supervising Engineer who is responsible for ensuring that the sediment and erosion control measures have:
Been duly designed by an RPEQ or CPESC and constructed in accordance with "best practise" methods;
Been revised by an RPEQ or CPESC to address the issues raised by changes in the projected construction schedule and/or methods;
Been revised to address predicted rainfall events; and
Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be found inefficient.
The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current best practice standards * (Refer to Advisory Note).
The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and prior to rainfall occurring.
The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles and/or machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and sediment control measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including vehicle shakedown pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where sediments or other contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s drainage system or waterways.
Prior to the completion of the development and commencement of use, 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. 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.
As Constructed Plans and ADAC XML Files (Council)
Prior to acceptance of civil works to become Council assets “On Maintenance”, satisfactory “As-Constructed” records must be submitted to Council. The bundle of “As Constructed” information shall include:
As-Constructed Engineering Drawings. Data is to be submitted in an electronic drawing file format (.dwg), with all plans clearly endorsed “As-Constructed”, along with the accompanying hardcopies (PDFs of the As-Constructed .dwg drawing files), and;
ADAC XML Digital File. ADAC File format (ADAC - Asset Design As Constructed) prepared in accordance with industry standards and recorded in “MGA - UTM56 / GDA94” projection.
Please Note: Further information and advice relating to the as-constructed drawing presentation, as-constructed survey capture and associated guidelines for preparation of a compliant ADAC XML digital file are available on the webpage titled “As-Constructed Guidelines” and accessible at the Noosa Council Website: Planning & Development / Development Tools & Guidelines / As-Constructed Guidelines.
The “As-Constructed” drawings will require certification by a:
Qualified experienced Civil Engineer (RPEQ) confirming design intent and conformance with applicable standards and specifications, along with the relevant descriptions of assets, services and structures and;
Licensed Surveyor in regard to the cadastral and locational information, levels and applicable survey datum.
The data must be in accordance with Council’s “Planning Scheme Policy 6 – Engineering Design Standards”, and fully detail the levels for all engineering works including but not limited to the drainage network and structures, finished ground and pavement surface levels.
On Maintenance
All municipal works 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 requirements of this Permit;
as Constructed details in accordance with Council’s Planning Scheme Policy;
maintenance and operational manuals for all proprietary or site specific devices.
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 approval requirements
submitted certification falsely states works comply with approval requirements.
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
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 standard drawing RS-056.
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.
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 municipal works 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 International Erosion Control Association Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control
Qualified Person, for the purpose of erosion and sediment control is a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) or suitably experienced Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).
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.
