The subdivision shall be subject to a maintenance period and a bond shall be held by Council until the completion of the maintenance period. The bond shall be calculated based on 5% of the total cost of works based on Council's standard road construction rates.
Any new nature strips, or areas of nature strip that are disturbed during construction, must be topped with 100mm of good quality topsoil and sown with grass. Grass must be established and free of weeds prior to Council accepting the development.
Sewer and water services must be provided in accordance with TasWater's Submission to Planning Authority Notice (reference number TWDA 2023/01744-NMC) - attached at Appendix A.
The works required by the endorsed Bushfire Hazard Assessment Report must be completed to the satisfaction of the Tasmanian Fire Service or a practitioner accredited by the Tasmanian Fire Service. Documentation of compliance is to be submitted to the satisfaction of Council.
All conditions must be complied with prior to sealing of the final plan of survey. Council may, at the developer's request, accept a bond or bank guarantee, for particular works or maintenance, to enable early seal and release of the final plan of survey.
