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 relevant standards.
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 Sustainable Planning Act 2009 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this application along with the appropriate fees.

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:
the Sunshine Coast Regional Council Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control V1.2 or other superseding document subsequently adopted by Council;
Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control, International Erosion Control Association (2008)

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.
You should contact the Cultural Heritage Co-ordination Unit on 07 3239 3647 to discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.
