Maintenance Management Plans and Performance bonds on Operational Works approvals

Maintenance Management Plans

As of 17 February 2025, Maintenance Management Plans associated with stormwater quality treatment are not required to be submitted for approval to the City. Instead, Maintenance Management Plans must be prepared by a qualified Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) and implemented for the life of the development. Certification by an RPEQ indicating that this has occurred is now considered acceptable to satisfy conditions of approval related to maintenance management plans.

Requirement for Performance bonds on Operational Works approvals

As of 17 February 2025, the City will no longer impose performance bonds on Operational Works applications, except where sediment control for major earthworks or unique conditions (e.g., asset reinstatement) are involved. Bonds conditioned on existing applications will also be waived if they meet these criteria.
