Approvals | • Road Corridor Permit • Traffic Control Permit • Permit to Occupy (Environment, Land and Water) • Environmental Permit • Building Permit |
Location (1) | • Specific approvals required will vary depending on location • Specific approvals required will vary depending on project |
Location (2) | • Required to check with local authorities • Required to check with regulatory bodies • Local, State, and Federal requirements must be met |
Example: Road Permit (1) - Departmental approval is required under section 50 of the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994 if any of the following occur within the boundaries of a state-controlled road: | • undertaking an activity • locating or constructing a structure or thing • maintaining a structure or thing • upgrading a structure or thing • operating a structure or thing You must apply for a Road Corridor Permit for departmental approval |
Example: Road Permit (2-1) - Application needs to specify: | exact location of the structure or activity (preferably using longitude and latitude coordinates on a smart phone)—include photos of the location if possible |
Example: Road Permit (2-2) - Application needs to specify: detailed explanation of the structure or activity: | • what it is • its purpose • any other people or organisations involved • how long the structure or activity will be located within the state-controlled road corridor • how it will be accessed from the state-controlled road |
Example: Road Permit (3-1) - for structures located on a state-controlled road: | • measurements • construction material • construction method • copies of specifications • plans marked 'issued for construction' and certified by a RPEQ Engineer • diagrams of works |
Example: Road Permit (3-2) - for structures located on a state-controlled road: | • relevant photos • distance from nearby intersections • how often it will need to be accessed from the state-controlled road • purpose of post-installation access • posted speed limit • distance to other built infrastructure or signs (if present) |
Example: Road Permit (4-1) | • for activities undertaken on a state-controlled road: - time of the activity - number of people involved - what access to the state-controlled road is needed |
Example: Road Permit (4-2) | • evidence of a public liability insurance policy • a Deed of Indemnity, to indemnify Transport and Main Roads from all legal claims arising from your activities, works or structures. View our Deed of Indemnity templates to include in your application |
Example: Road Permit (5-1) - A Traffic Control Permit is necessary to ensure: | A Traffic Control Permit is necessary to ensure: • that the work carried out or the conducted event can be performed safely with due care shown to both workers and all road users • protection of departmental assets |
Example: Road Permit (5-2) - A Traffic Control Permit is necessary to ensure: | • the times at which the task is to be performed is such that any lane closure causes minimal disruption to traffic flow |
Example: Road Permit (5-3) - A Traffic Control Permit is necessary to ensure: | • that all traffic control activities are to be carried out in accordance with the latest version of the Queensland Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices Part 3 Traffic control for works on roads |
Site Investigation | Site investigation is an essential part of any civil construction project. It involves a comprehensive assessment of the site to determine the conditions and characteristics of the site and its surroundings |
Site Investigation (1) - Geotechnical investigation: | This involves assessing the soil and rock conditions of the site, including the soil type, stability, and bearing capacity |
Site Investigation (2) - Topographic survey: | This involves mapping the site to determine the natural features of the land, such as contours, elevations, and watercourses |
Site Investigation (3) - Hydrological investigation: | This involves assessing the water flow patterns of the site, including the drainage conditions and potential flood risks |
Site Investigation (4) - Environmental investigation: | This involves assessing the potential impact of the construction project on the surrounding environment, including the air, water, and soil quality |
Site Investigation (5) - Archaeological investigation: | This involves assessing the potential for the site to contain historical or cultural artifacts, which may require special measures during the construction process |
Site Investigation (6) - Utility investigation: | This involves identifying the location of underground utilities, such as water and sewer lines, gas lines, and electrical cables |
Site Investigation (7) - Traffic investigation: | This involves assessing the impact of the construction project on the surrounding transportation network, including potential road closures and detours |
Site Investigation (8) - Noise investigation: | This involves assessing the potential for the construction project to create noise pollution and identifying measures to mitigate the impact |
Stakeholder Management/Engagement | Stakeholders from any project should be managed with the outlook to minimize the negative impacts and make sure that there are no obstacles in the way of a successful project |
Stakeholders - Internal Stakeholders | • Client • Project team • Sub contractors |
Stakeholders - External Stakeholders | • Residents in the area of the construction site • Businesses in the area • Interest groups and organisations |
Key Considerations (1) | • Who are our stakeholders? • What are their stakes in the project? • What opportunities do they present? • What challenges or threats do they present? • What responsibilities do we have towards our shareholders? |
Key Considerations (2) | • What strategies or actions should we use to implicate our interest groups? • Should we deal directly or indirectly with our interest groups? |
Key Considerations (3) | • Should we be aggressive or defensive in our treatment with the stakeholders? • When and how should we accommodate, negotiate or oppose to the demands of our stakeholders? |
