PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                           10 MARCH 2026




The ownership and maintenance obligations of the new intersection between Roses Road and
Cooroy-Gympie Road will be shared between Council and the Department of Transport and Main
Roads in accordance with section 10.3 of “TMR/Local Government Cost Sharing Arrangement”
Memorandum of Understanding 2022-2027. The obligations of each party are detailed in
Attachment 2 and summarised as follows:


•        the landowner of the subject site will be responsible to maintain the driveway and between
         the subject site and the demarcation between the Council and State land.
•        Council will be responsible to maintain Roses Road’s pavement between the line of
         demarcation to the tangent point of the intersection.
•        the Department of Transport and Main Roads will be responsible to maintain the remaining
         areas of the intersection in the State-controlled road corridor.

All works proposed will be undertaken at the cost of the landowner and have been designed in
accordance with the minimum requirements for an Urban Road as specified in Councils Planning
Scheme Policy - Engineering Design Standards SC6.7.5 (k & l). As the driveway is intended for
residential use with low traffic volumes, the pavement design is considered appropriate and will
not result in any unreasonable maintenance or financial burden on Council.


3.      Conclusion
This report identifies the need for delegation to the CEO, including the power to sub-delegate to
the relevant council officer (Position 10223 - Senior Development Engineer) to enable the
assessment of a current Operational Works application to proceed. The delegation will allow for
the relevant officer to apply to the chief executive to obtain written approval for the undertaking
works on a local government road that also includes works on a state-controlled road.
Discussions with Council’s Governance Branch have recognised the need for this delegation to be
permanent considered in the upcoming delegation’s review.
