Equitable Access and Facilities
The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance with the
requirements of the National Construction Code - Building Code of Australia (Volume 1) as
they relate to people with disabilities. Your attention is also directed to the fact that in
addition to the requirements of the National Construction Code as they relate to people with
disabilities, one or more of the following may impact on the proposed building work:
1     the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
2     the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
3     the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
4     The applicant is advised that the development works for this permit may require
      payment of a compliance bond (to be determined in Operational Works Permit) in
      accordance with Council’s policies. The payment of the bonds will be required prior
      the prestart meeting for the Operation Works.
5     The Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy must be
      paid prior to the issue of a development permit where one is required for the 'Building
      and Construction Industry'. This applies to Building Works, Operational Works and
      Plumbing and Drainage Works applications, as defined under the Sustainable
      Planning Act 2009, where the works are $80,000 or more and matching the definition
      of 'Building and Construction Industry' under the Building and Construction Industry
      (Portable Long Service Leave) Act 1991. Council will not be able to issue a Decision
      Notice without receipt of details that the Levy has been paid. Should you require
      clarification in regard to the amendments to the Building and Construction Industry
      (Portable Long Service Leave) Act 1991, you should contact QLeave on 1800 803 481
