ENG 12

A demolition and construction waste management plan must be submitted and approved as a Condition Endorsement, prior to issue of any building approval, or commencement of work, including demolition (whichever occurs first).

The demolition and construction waste management plan submitted for approval must include:

·        Provisions for the handling, storage, transport, and disposal, of demolition material including any contaminated waste and recyclables,

·        Provisions for the handling, storage, transport, and disposal, of post­ construction solid waste and recycle bins from the development, and

·        Any other details the Council deem necessary.

The approved demolition and construction waste management plan must be implemented throughout demolition and construction works approved by this permit.

Advice:

This condition requires further information to be submitted as a Condition Endorsement. Refer to the Condition Endorsement advice at the end of this permit.

It is recommended that the developer liaise with the Council’s City Resilience Unit regarding reducing, reusing, and recycling materials associated with demolition on the site to minimize solid waste being directed to landfill. Further information can also be found on the Council’s website.

Reason for condition

To ensure that solid waste management from the site meets the Council’s requirements and standards.

ENG sw1

All stormwater from the proposed development (including but not limited to: roofed areas, ag drains, and impervious surfaces such as driveways and paved areas) must be drained to the Council’s stormwater infrastructure prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first).

Advice:

Under section 23 of the Urban Drainage Act 2013 it is an offence for a property owner to direct stormwater onto a neighbouring property.

Reason for condition

To ensure that stormwater from the site will be discharged to a suitable Council approved outlet.

SW 1

Prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016 or the commencement of work on the site (whichever occurs first), a pre­ construction structural condition assessment and visual record (eg video and photos) of the Hobart City Council’s stormwater infrastructure within and adjacent to the proposed development must be submitted to the City of Hobart as a Condition Endorsement.

The condition assessment must include at least:

1.      a site plan clearly showing the location of the investigation, with access points and all segments and nodes shown and labelled, with assets found to have a different alignment from that shown on the City of Hobart’s plans to be marked on the ground and on the plan;

2.      a digital recording of a CCTV inspection and written condition assessment report in accordance with WSA 05­2013 Conduit Inspection Reporting Code of Australia, in a 'Wincan’ compatible format; and

3.      photos of any existing drainage structures connected to or modified as part of the development.

The pre­construction condition assessment will be relied upon to establish the extent of any damage caused to Hobart City Council’s stormwater infrastructure during construction. If the owner/developer fails to provide the City of Hobart with an adequate pre­construction condition assessment then any damage to the City of Hobart’s infrastructure identified in the post­construction condition assessment will be the responsibility of the owner/developer.

Advice:

This condition requires further information to be submitted as a Condition Endorsement. Refer to the Condition Endorsement advice at the end of this permit.

SW 2

Prior to occupancy or the commencement of the approved use (whichever occurs first), a post­construction structural condition assessment and visual record (eg video and photos) of the existing and new Hobart City Council’s stormwater infrastructure within and adjacent to the proposed development, must be submitted to the City of Hobart.

The condition assessment must include at least:

1.      a site plan clearly showing the location of the investigation, with access points and all segments and nodes shown and labelled, with assets found to have a different alignment from that shown on the City of Hobart’s plans shall be marked on the ground and on the plan;

2.      a digital recording of a CCTV inspection and written condition assessment report in accordance with WSA 05­2013 Conduit Inspection Reporting Code of Australia, in a 'Wincan’ compatible format; and

3.      photos of any existing drainage structures connected to or modified as part of the development.

The pre­construction condition assessment will be relied upon to establish the extent of any damage caused to the Hobart City Council’s stormwater infrastructure during construction. If the owner/developer fails to provide the City of Hobart with an adequate pre­construction condition assessment then any damage to the Hobart City Council’s infrastructure identified in the post­-construction CCTV will be deemed to be the responsibility of the owner/developer.

Advice:

This may be able to be combined with the condition assessments of the new public assets required under the Permit to Construct Public Infrastructure, depending on timing of works.
