• Details of when and where road closures may be needed in order to undertake any works
• Method of controlling dust and rubbish as a result of wind
• Method of suitable containment of rubbish including site bins
• Method of controlling erosion by water
• Ensuring pedestrian and vehicle access past the property is maintained to the satisfaction of the City
• Specified hours of days during which work will be undertaken (in particular, times for deliveries)
• Traffic management details including any times for road closures, deliveries, loading, access routes to ensure least resistance to roads and other related matters
• If intended to use any part of a privately owned adjoining property, permission in writing is to be obtained for from that adjoining owner prior to the use of their property
• Locations of storage of materials
• Locations of any temporary site buildings
• Access points to the building site are to be identified, kept to a minimum and are to be stabilized such as a rammed limestone or other compacted material
• Parking for builder and trade representatives
• Parking for delivery vehicles
• Details of where any excess spoil material is to be dumped or used
• Details of any wash down or cleanup needs and what is being provided to ensure any toxic residue is not left behind
• Confirmation and details of a signboard being placed on the property indicating the builder's details including a contact phone number
• Inspection of adjoining properties to be undertaken prior to works commencing where proposed works may effect the existing condition of those properties
• Method and responsibility for making good any damage or need for cleaning of adjoining properties or public infrastructure as a result of development works.

Where it is permitted to fence, place scaffolding or site buildings, or store materials in any part of a road reserve, the builder will be required to ensure that public liability insurance that extends to those works is covered to a minimum value of $10,000,000.
