Hey guys, just letting you all know the council is still giving us trouble in gaining the approval for the Know BMX track. Here is what they are requesting and advising us even if we supply all these requirements they may still knock us back!!!
Hi Tamara, as discussed today, please note the following requirements must be satisfactorily meet prior to Council awarding access and use of the BMX facilities at Knox Park for the proposed ‘monkey bike’ activity:
• The track will be required to be certified for use by an appropriate and qualified agent.
• The impact upon the track will be required to be determined and managed appropriately
• A noise mitigation plan will be required to be development of the activity. Given the proximity of residences and golf course, I have received advice that the DBa rating should not exceed 55Dba at the surrounding properties. Potentially temporary noise walls will be required on site.
• A comprehensive safety plan will be required for the activity.
• As determined through the Building Act, an occupancy permit will need to be acquired. In this regard, you may contact Vin Obrien, Municipal Building Surveyor, on telephone 9298 8176.
Should you require any further advice, please contact me.
Regards
