Negotiated Decision Notice OPW26 0033 (As Published)

               39.    A hold point inspection is required with a Council delegate upon completion of the following
                      stages of road construction:
                      a.      subgrade; and
                      b.      base course (pre-seal).
                      At the time of the inspection(s), the pavement layer must exhibit no visible signs of
                      deformation under proof rolling by a fully loaded water truck to the reasonable satisfaction of
                      Council. The pavement layer will not pass the inspection until this requirement has been
                      achieved.
                      (*) Refer to Advisory Note
               40.    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 RPEQ.
                      Works within Road Reserve/Reinstatement
               41.    Safe pedestrian and vehicle 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.
               42.    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.
               43.    Electrical conduits or other services proposed to be installed within existing and 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
               44.    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;
                      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; and
                      e.      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.
               45.    Pathways must:
                      a.      terminate in a manner that ensures smooth transition to existing surfaces for public
                              safety; and
                      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.
