    Advisory Notes
    The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not
    form part of the assessment manager conditions:
    Equitable Access and Facilities
    1.   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:
         (a)     the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
         (b)     the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
         (c)     the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards
    Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
    2.   There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan
         and/or obtain approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003.
         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 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 3239 3647 to
         discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.
    Unitywater
    3.   Connection to Unitywater live water mains must be undertaken by Unitywater at the
         applicants cost.
    4.   A Trade Waste permit is required prior to any stormwater, groundwater or sump
         pump discharge into Unitywater’s sewerage system.
    5.   The rising main crossing the north eastern corner of the site is no longer in use. No
         diversion is required. Pipework may exist in the ground and will need to be removed
         or slurry filled. A redundant gravity sewer pipe may be located within the southern
         portion of the site requiring removal or slurry filling.
    ENGINEERING
    Footpath Connectivity
    6.   It is advised to enter into discussions with the owner of the Noosa Civic (Lot 3
         SP246584), so as to complete a small portion of footpath adjacent to the office
         buildings within the western portion of their site adjoining the small roundabout along
         Hoffman Drive. This small section of unfinished pathway within private property, will
         provide connectivity to both the Noosa Civic Shopping Centre and the proposed
         development.
