General Advisory Notes
3. 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 drawings RS-049
and RS-050.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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
7. Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum
of 5 business days’ notice of preferred inspection time.
8. 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.
9. 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
10. Tree Protection Bond may be drawn upon by Council if any trees identified for retention
are damaged to the point where they cannot be saved (as confirmed by the site Arborist
and agreed in writing by Council).
Environmental Advisory Notes
11. 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
12. Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control
13. 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).
14. As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation
if at the time of the plan sealing inspection:
Document Set ID: 23016595
Version: 3, Version Date: 14/05/2024 Page 14 of 18
Page 15
a. 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
b. 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.
Resubmission of Amended Documents Required
15. The conditions of this Decision Notice require resubmission of the referenced
Landscape Plans to Council with amendments. Please address the amended document
to Council’s Planning Assessment Branch with the Reference No. MCU21/0182, prior to
the Operational Works pre-start as detailed within conditions included within the
Decision Notice. Should the amended document not be submitted, the applicant is
advised that the required Operational Works pre-start meeting will not be approved.
Retention of Existing Trees
16. The existing trees on adjoining properties must be retained and protected during
construction wherever achievable. To avoid doubt, this advisory note is not intended to
exclude the operation of Chapter 3 of the Neighbourhood Dispute Resolution Act 2011
following construction of the development which is the subject of this development
approval.
Qualified Person
17. Qualified Person, for the purpose of:
a. Supervising landscape works and preparing a landscape certification, is
considered to be a landscape architect, landscape designer or horticulturist with a
minimum of three years current experience in the field of landscape design.
b. Undertaking, supervising tree works and preparing arboriculture certification, is
considered to be a person with a minimum three years current experience in tree
protection, hazard identification/mitigation and Specifying Trees – a guide to
assessment of tree quality (NATSPEC) assessment and either:
i. International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certification; or

Landscape Works
19. The applicant must pay the re-inspection fee in accordance with Council's Fees and
Charges Register where:
a. An inspection revealed that any constructed rehabilitation/landscape works do not
comply with the conditions of the Decision Notice, Approved Plans and or
Approved Documents
b. Certification is submitted to Council falsely stating that works comply with the
approved plans, documents and or conditions of the Decision Notice.
Environmental Advisory Notes
20. 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.
On Maintenance
21. Request for On Maintenance is the responsibility of the developer. No credit will be
given due to failure to request inspection. Maintenance works are the responsibility of
the developer and must include regular inspections, repairs, rectifications and
establishment. A single maintenance run immediately prior to inspection is not
acceptable.
Off Maintenance
22. A re-inspection fee in accordance with Councils Fees and Charge Register will be
charged where:
a. A Council inspection reveals works do not comply with approval requirements.
b. Submitted certification falsely states works comply with approval requirements.
7. PROPERTY NOTES
Not applicable.
8. VARIATION APPROVAL DETAILS
