Standard Advice
 
Timing
19)   Construction Noise and Dust Emissions

Pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act 1994, all development involving the emission of noise and dust from building and/or construction activities, must ensure that the emissions are in accordance with the requirements of the Act.
The Environmental Protection Act 1994 prescribes that:

1. A person must not carry out building work in a way that makes an audible noise-
-  on a business day or Saturday, before 6.30a.m. or after 6.30p.m; or
-   on any other day, at any time. 
2. The reference in subsection (1) to a person carrying out building work-
-  includes a person carrying out building work under an owner-builder permit; and
-  otherwise does not include a person carrying out building work at premises used by the person only for residential purposes.

Note: A request can be made to work outside of these hours by submitting an Environmental Management Plan for assessment and obtaining an endorsed decision from the Environmental Management delegate Development Services.

20)   Currency Period

The currency period for this development approval is stated in the Decision Notice and is expressed as a date.

This development approval lapses at the end of the currency period (the date stated in the decision notice) pursuant to section 85 of the Planning Act 2016.

 
As indicated

Provision must be made during and after construction for equitable access for persons with disabilities to and within the site and on adjoining public areas, in accordance with the following:
- Queensland Anti-Discrimination Act 1991;

22)   Damage to Trees on Adjoining Land

Please note that any damage caused to vegetation on adjoining land as a result of exercising this development approval may result in an offence under other legislation (e.g. Natural Assets Local Law) and/or civil action

 
As indicated
 
23)   Fire Ant Movement Controls

To prevent the spread of fire ants, the Queensland Government has implemented improvement controls in areas of Queensland (biosecurity zones) where this pest species has been detected.

These controls apply to individuals and commercial operators and restrict the movement of materials that could carry fire ants which include soil, turf, potted plants, mulch, baled hay or straw, animal manures, mining or quarry products.

Breaches of these controls can potentially impact the community, economy and the environment.  Penalties for non-compliance with movement controls within fire ant biosecurity zones apply under the Biosecurity Act 2014.

For further information contact the relevant Queensland State Government department on 13 QGOV.

 
As indicated
 
24)   Water and Wastewater

Services for water and wastewater (sewerage) are not under the jurisdiction of Brisbane City Council.  Authorisation to connect the approved development to the water/wastewater networks and for property service connections required a Water Approval under the South-East Queensland Water (Distribution and Retail Restructuring) Act 2009.

For further information about any necessary Water Approvals contact Urban Utilities.

 
As indicated
 
25)   Flood Resilience and Awareness

This advice is provided for buildings that are on sites that are subject to the flood overlay, as shown within City Plan 2014.

 

Council makes decisions to minimise flood risk based on the best information available at the time of the development application.  Flood studies and applicable flood levels may be updated by Council overtime where new flood information is available or changes to engineering standards/methodology have occurred.  Flood levels for various flood events and flooding types are outlined in Councils Floodwise Property Reports available from Councils website.

 

The minimum flood planning levels that apply to new development do not necessarily mean that the development will never flood.  Therefore, when choosing materials for building on sites that are known to be affected by flooding, regardless of whether it is constructed to the minimum flood planning level, it is recommended that flood resilient materials are used to improve the speed of recovery and reduce the cost of repairs if required.
