The post­construction CCTV recording and photos will be relied upon to establish the extent of any damage caused to Council’s stormwater infrastructure during construction.  If the owner/developer fails to provide Council with pre­construction CCTV then any damage to Council’s infrastructure identified in the post­construction CCTV will be deemed to be the responsibility of the owner.

Reason for condition

To ensure that any of the Council infrastructure and/or site­related service connections affected by the proposal will be altered and/or reinstated at the owner’s full cost.

ENG sw3

The proposed works, including driveways, walls, footings and raised garden beds, must be designed and constructed to ensure the protection of and access to the Council’s stormwater main.

A detailed design must be submitted and approved prior to the issuing of any approval under the Building Act 2016 or commencement of works (whichever occurs first). The detailed design must:

1.      Demonstrate how the design will maintain the overland flow path, provide adequate access to the main, impose no additional loads onto the main and that the structure will be fully independent of the main and its trenching;

2.      Include cross­sections clearly showing the relationship both vertically and horizontally between Council’s stormwater infrastructure and the proposed works (including footings), and stating the minimum setbacks from the works to the nearest external surface of the main;

3.      Include a long­section of Council's stormwater main clearly showing proposed cover. If the cover is less than 600mm, engineering details and full calculations to relevant Australian standards (including construction traffic loading) must be submitted to demonstrate the mains can withstand the likely forces and will be adequately protected. All assumptions must be stated; and

4.      Be certified by a suitably qualified engineer

Prior to commencement of use and/or any completion under the Building Act 2016 (whichever occurs first), a suitably qualified engineer must confirm the installation of the works within two metres of Council’s stormwater is in accordance with the approved drawings and complies with this condition. Should any remediation works be required, these must be carried out at the developer’s cost.

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved detailed design.

Advice:

The alignment shown on the plans does not fully agree with Council records. The Council's piped rivulet is not a round DN1050 RCP, but has been piped in a variety of structures (including brick arch and rectangular culvert). Council has identified this section of pipe as requiring upgrade works within the expected lifetime of the proposed works.  Works must demonstrate adequate access to carry out these works, and sufficient protection for both the existing pipe and any replacement main.

Separate consent under s73 Building Act 2016 and s13 Urban Drainage Act 2013 is required for the proposed works, including a signed indemnity.

Some of the proposed works, including the proposed block courtyard wall, are unlikely to receive this consent based on the currently shown alignment.  A mains diversion may be required at the Developers cost to carry out all the intended works, including full engineering design and drawings.

The applicant is required submit detailed design documentation to satisfy this condition via the Council's planning condition endorsement process (noting there is a fee associated with condition endorsement approval of engineering drawings [see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement and for fees and charges]). This is a separate process to any building approval under the Building Act 2016.

Failure to address condition requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.

Reason for condition

To ensure the protection of the Council’s hydraulic infrastructure.

ENG sw4

Detailed engineering drawings must be submitted and approved prior to the issuing of any approval under the Building Act 2016 or commencement of works (whichever occurs first). The detailed engineering drawings must include:

1.      The location of the proposed connections and all existing connections;

2.      The size and design of the connection such that it is appropriate to safely service the development; and

3.      Long­sections of the proposed connection clearly showing clearances from any nearby services, cover, size, material and delineation of public and private infrastructure. Connections must be free­flowing gravity driven.

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved detailed engineering drawings.

Advice:

A single connection for the property is required under the Urban Drainage Act 2013.

Existing connections must be identified from the pre­works CCTV.

Once the engineering drawings have been approved, the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).  Once approved the applicant will need to submit an application for a new stormwater connection with Council's City Amenity Division. Should the applicant wish to have their contractor install the connection, an Application to Construct Public Infrastructure is required.

The stormwater service connection may be required to have been approved prior to any plumbing permits being issued for private plumbing works.

Reason for condition

To ensure the site is drained adequately.
