          works commencing.
    Pavement Design and Construction
    72.   Pavement design for privately owned works must be undertaken in accordance with
          the relevant standards. Structural integrity of the driveway and car park areas will
          remain the responsibility of the property owner/developer and must be certified by an

    Works within Road Reserve/Reinstatement
    73.   Safe pedestrian access on all streets in the vicinity of the development must be
          maintained at all times. Should footpath/road closures be necessary to carry out
          construction works, Council’s Engineering Officer must be notified prior to the proposed
          closure and all requirements complied with.
    74.   All frontage works must match neatly with existing road and verge/footpath features.
          Additional works beyond the frontage may be required to provide an acceptable
          transition to existing road and verge/footpath profiles.

          proposed road reserves under existing sealed carriageways, concrete pathways,
          concrete/sealed driveways or significant vegetation must be installed by boring.
          Trenching is not permitted, unless specifically approved by Council.
    Pathways
    76.   All pathways must be constructed in accordance with the following requirements:
          a.    All footpath/cycleway must comply with Council’s Standard Drawing SEQ R-065;
          b.    Provision must be made for disabled access at all kerb crossings associated with
                pathways, in accordance with Council's current standards;

          d.    Expansion and contraction joints must provide a flush finish. Installation of joints
                by saw cutting is preferred to ensure a smooth ride for cyclists;

          f.    The required work includes any modifications to ensure the footpath finishes
                flush with all existing service covers and the like, or alternatively these services
                are raised or altered, so as not to create a pedestrian safety hazard.
    77.   Pathways must:
          a.    terminate in a manner that ensures smooth transition to existing surfaces for
                public safety;
