ENG sw2.1

A pre­construction CCTV recording of the Council’s stormwater main within/adjacent to the proposed development, along with photos of any drainage structures to be connected to or modified, must be submitted to Council prior to the commencement of work.

The pre­construction 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 recording then any damage to Council’s infrastructure identified in the post­construction CCTV recording 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 sw2.2

A post construction CCTV recording of the Council’s stormwater main within/adjacent to the proposed development, along with photos of any existing drainage structures connected to or modified as part of the development, must be submitted to Council upon completion of work.

The post construction 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 post construction 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 development and concrete driveway must be designed to ensure the protection and access to the Council’s stormwater main.

A detailed design must be submitted and approved 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 ensure the protection and provide access to the Council’s stormwater main. (see advice section of permit)

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

ENG sw4

The new stormwater connection must be constructed and existing abandoned connections sealed by the Council at the owner’s expense, prior to the first occupation.

Detailed engineering drawings must be submitted and approved as part of an application for a new stormwater connection, prior to the issuing of any approval under the Building Act 2016 or commencement of works (which ever occurs first). The detailed engineering drawings must include:

The stormwater management report and design must be prepared by a suitably qualified engineer and must:

1.         include detailed design and supporting calculations of the detention tank showing:

1.         detention tank sizing such that there is no increase in flows from the developed site up to 5% AEP event and no worsening of flooding;

2.         the layout, the inlet and outlet (including long section), outlet size,

overflow mechanism and invert level;

3.         the discharge rates and emptying times; and

4.         all assumptions must be clearly stated;

2.         include a supporting maintenance plan, which specifies the required maintenance measures to check and ensure the ongoing effective operation of all systems, such as: inspection frequency; cleanout procedures; descriptions and diagrams of how the installed systems operate; details of the life of assets and replacement requirements.

All work required by this condition must be undertaken and maintained in accordance with the approved stormwater management report and design.

ENG 2a

Prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first), vehicular barriers compliant with the Australian Standard AS/NZS1170.1:2002 must be installed to prevent vehicles running off the edge of an access driveway or parking module (parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) where the drop from the edge of the trafficable area to a lower level is 600mm or greater, and wheel stops (kerb) must be installed for drops between 150mm and 600mm. Barriers must not limit the width of the driveway access or parking and turning areas approved under the permit.

Advice:

The Council does not consider a slope greater than 1 in 4 to constitute a lower level as described in AS/NZS 2890.1:2004 Section 2.4.5.3. Slopes greater than 1 in 4 will require a vehicular barrier or wheel stop.

Designers are advised to consult the National Construction Code 2016 to determine if pedestrian handrails or safety barriers compliant with the NCC2016 are also required in the parking module this area may be considered as a path of access to a building.

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access driveway and parking module and compliance with the standard.

ENG 2b

Prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016 or the commencement of works on site (whichever occurs first), a certified vehicle barrier design (including site plan with proposed location(s) of installation) prepared by a suitably qualified engineer, compliant with Australian Standard AS/NZS1170.1:2002, must be submitted to Council as a Condition Endorsement.

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.

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access driveway and parking module and compliance with the standard.

ENG 2c

Prior to the first occupation, vehicular barriers must be inspected by a qualified engineer and certification submitted to the Council confirming that the installed vehicular barriers comply with the certified design and Australian Standard AS/NZS1170.1:2002.
