4.    A site control and/or compliance bond of $500 is to be submitted to Council prior to the pre-
      start meeting. The pre-start meeting will only be held once Council's Construction Technical
      Officer has confirmation that Council has received the bond monies.

      commencement of those works.
6.    The principal contractor must have all the appropriate insurance and public liability
      documentation to carry out the works. The principal contractor is also responsible to ensure
      that any subcontractors also have the appropriate insurance and public liability documentation.
7.    Prior to works commencing, Council is to be advised of the Engineer (RPEQ) supervising the
      project. (This person will be the contact for the project).
8.    Council standards shall apply to these works unless otherwise modified herein.
9.    The person acting on this permit shall ensure that its consultants and contractors take all
      reasonable care during the construction of the engineering works to ensure that Council

      sewerage, footpaths, kerbing, landscaping, street furniture, etc.) are protected against any
      damage or interference whatsoever.
      If any Council property or facilities should be damaged by the Applicant or any of its
      Consultants or Contractors through any cause whatsoever in the course of, directly or
      indirectly, carrying out the engineering works, the Applicant and/or its Contractors shall
      forthwith notify Council’s CEO and shall forthwith rectify the damage to that property or facility
      at its cost and to the satisfaction of Council’s CEO.
      All rectification works are to be completed prior to the commencement of the use or,
      alternatively, the Applicant may request Council to carry out the rectification work at the
      Applicant’s cost, such cost being paid by the Applicant to Council prior to the commencement
      of the use.
      In the case of any emergency, Council shall be entitled to rectify such damage at the cost of
      the Applicant, such cost being paid prior to the commencement of the use.

14.   Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If such
      measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the spot “ fines may be issued. Such
      fines can be issued if sediments from the site are found to enter or have the potential to enter
      Council’s stormwater system or natural waterways. Although the sediment and erosion control
      measures have been approved, it is the site Supervising Engineer who is responsible for

7     ADVISORY NOTES
The following Advisory Notes are for information purposes only and do not form conditions of
approval:
1.    Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of
      construction constraints, a “Request to change an existing approval” (Form 2 Development
      Application) under the Integrated Planning Act 1997 must be made. Amended plans clearly
      indicating the changes must be lodged with this application along with the appropriate fees.
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or obtain
approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACH Act).
The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: “A person who carries
out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the activity does not
harm Aboriginal cultural heritage”. It is an offence to fail to comply with the duty of care. Substantial
monetary penalties may apply to individuals or corporations breaching this duty of care. Injunctions
may also be issued by the Land and Resources Tribunal, and the Minister administering the ACH Act
can also issue stop orders for an activity that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural
heritage or the cultural heritage value of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
You should contact the Cultural Heritage Co-ordination Unit on 07 3238 3838 to discuss any
obligations under the ACH Act.
