ENG 12

A construction waste management plan must be implemented throughout construction.

A construction waste management plan must be submitted and approved, prior to commencement of work on the site. The construction waste management plan must include:

     Provisions for commercial waste services for the handling, storage, transport and disposal of post­construction solid waste and recycle bins from the development.

     Provisions for the handling, transport and disposal of demolition material, including any contaminated waste and recycling opportunities, to satisfy the above requirement.

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved construction waste management plan.

Advice: Once the construction waste management plan has been approved, the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).

Where building approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation for condition endorsement be submitted well before submitting documentation for building approval. Failure to address condition endorsement requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.

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

Reason for condition

Once the design has been approved, the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement)

Where building approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation for condition endorsement be submitted well before submitting documentation for building approval. Failure to address condition endorsement requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.

Reason for condition

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access and parking module, and compliance with the relevant Australian Standard.

ENG 4

The access driveway and loading/unloading area approved by this permit must be constructed to a sealed standard (spray seal, asphalt, concrete, pavers or equivalent Council approved) and surface drained to the Council's stormwater infrastructure prior to the commencement of use.

Please contact Council City Infrastructure Division to discuss approval of alternate designs. Based on a site specific assessment, Council City Infrastructure Division Road Engineer may permit extending non­approved concrete slab crossover, and where non­standard kerb and channel exists a concrete plinth to Council standards may be permitted for construction at the gutter.

You are likely to require a Permit to Open Up and Temporarily Occupy a Highway (for work within the highway reservation). Click here for more information.

Reason for condition

In the interests of vehicle user safety and the amenity of the development.

ENG 1

The cost of repair of any damage to the Council's infrastructure resulting from the implementation of this permit, must be met by the owners within 30 days of the completion of the development or as otherwise determined by the Council.  Demolition of the existing structure near Melville Street may expose tree roots that could damage trees on Melville Street.  If tree roots are encountered then the Council's Parks and City Amenity unit must be contacted for advice which shall be adhered too.

A photographic record of the Council's infrastructure adjacent to the subject site must be provided to the Council prior to any commencement of works.

A photographic record of the Council’s infrastructure (e.g. existing property service connection points, roads, buildings, stormwater, footpaths, driveway crossovers and nature strips, including if any, pre­existing damage) will be relied upon to establish the extent of damage caused to the Council’s infrastructure during construction. In the event that the owner/developer fails to provide to the Council a photographic record of the Council’s infrastructure, then any damage to the Council's infrastructure found on completion of works will be deemed to be the responsibility of the owner.

Reason for condition

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

ENG s1

Approval from Council's City Infrastructure Division must be obtained prior to issue of any consent under the Building Act 2016 (excluding demolition or excavation)  for any changes to the existing on street parking arrangements in Melville Street.

Advice: Any changes to the existing on street parking arrangements in Melville Street do not form part of the planning approval and will require approval from Council's City Infrastructure Division Manager Traffic Engineering in a process separate to the planning process.  All works will be at the developer's expense.  Please contact Council's City Infrastructure Division Manager Traffic Engineering with regard to the application process for any changes to the on street parking arrangements in Melville Street.

Any request to temporarily or permanently remove any sensor requires a written application to be submitted to the Parking Operations Unit.

https://www.hobartcity.com.au/City­services/Parking/Integrated­Parking­System/DialBefore­You­Dig­Parking­Sensors

Reason for condition
