                        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.
