    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;
          c.   All paths must have a slip resistant surface, with a colour to match the existing
               (dark);
          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;
          e.   Pram ramps where required.
          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;
          b.   be designed and constructed to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act
               (DDA), Access to Premises Standard, Austroads and relevant sections of AS1428
               Design for access and mobility.
    Site Access and Driveways
    78.   Driveway crossovers must be constructed generally in accordance with Council’s
          Standard Drawing RS-051.
    79.   Any existing unnecessary or redundant property accesses must be removed, and the
          kerb, footpath and verge area reinstated to match the existing footpath and/or verge
          treatments. Grassed verge areas to be reinstated must be provided with 100 mm topsoil
          and grass seed or turf, and must be maintained by the developer until established.
    80.   The following must be complied with during the construction of the required
          crossover/driveway:
          a.   The driveway surfacing must consist of either an approved hot mixed asphaltic
               concrete or patterned/plain concrete;
          b.   The driveway must be constructed so as not to concentrate stormwater runoff onto
               neighbouring properties;
          c.   Where there is an existing pedestrian path, a matching crossfall must be provided
               for the driveway on the alignment of the path, for the full width of the path;
          d.   The property accesses must be located a minimum of 1m clear of existing power
               poles, streetlights or other signage. The developer is responsible for any necessary
               relocation of existing services to provide this clearance and must contact the
               relevant service authorities and comply with their requirements in relation to these
               works.
    Earthworks and Retaining Walls
    81.   All earthworks must be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of AS 3798
          Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development, with
          geotechnical testing undertaken in accordance with Section 8 of the Standard, and to a
          minimum of ‘Level 2’ as defined in Appendix B. Test results as required by AS 3798, and
          a certificate of quality and uniformity of fill must be provided by a RPEQ and submitted
          to Council prior to Council undertaking the On-Maintenance inspection.
