Attachment 2 - Existing Approval

                      Sustainability
               8.     Council encourages sustainable and energy efficient building design for all development,
                      including the use of sustainable building materials, energy efficient fittings, solar hot water,
                      photovoltaic systems (including the use of inverter/charges), solar panels, water saving
                      devices and rainwater harvesting.
               OPERATIONAL WORKS (OPW23/0113)
                      General Advisory Notes
               9.     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.
               10.    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.
               11.    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.
                      Nature and Extent of Approval (OPW- Landscaping, Drainage, Stormwater)
               12.    Deleted.
                      Prestart, On and Off Maintenance Inspections Request
               13.    Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5
                      business days notice of preferred inspection time.
               14.    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.
               15.    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.
               16.    Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
                      Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control.
               17.    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).
               18.    As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if
                      at the time of the plan sealing inspection:
                      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 final inspection, 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, Council Officers may take the following
                              matters into consideration in determining whether the site is capable of achieving
                              medium to long-term stability:
