In the Code of Practice we're trying to manage costs effectively, allow minimum uniform standards and create benefits for developers, property owners and the community by providing flexibilty in alternative design and construction. In this section: Section 1 to 8 Appendix A to Appendix E Application Forms / Appendix F Checklists / Appendix G Certification Forms / Appendix H Procedures / Appendix I Drawings: Section 3000 - Roadings Drawings: Section 4000 - Water Supply Drawings: Section 5000 - Wastewater Drawings: Section 6000 - Stormwater Drawings: Section 8000 - Landscaping What is the Code of Practice? It provides a means of compliance for engineering design and construction while fulfilling conditions imposed by a resource consent for subdivision and development (or works that are carried out as a permitted activity). What does the Code of Practice consist of? Administered by our planning team the Code of Practice is divided into seven sections General Requirements and procedures Earthwork and land stability Roading Water supply Wastewater Stormwater and land drainage Landscaping There are then seven appendices which are divided into General Applications Checklists Certification Procedures Approved materials Application for Thames-Coromandel District Council approved contractor What is the Code of Practice used for? The code applies to assets vested in Council, existing or future Council assets from proposed development and works required by a resource consent. It's also used for construction works like subdivisions, land development, installation and upgrading of utility services and upgrading of existing infrastructure not covered in the current Building Act. What parts of the Code of Practice might I be interested in? Appendix A Review Procedures. Describes the process employed to make changes to the Code of Practice. The foreward of the Code describes the on-going review procedure. Appendix F9 Building over or close to public pipelines (wastewater/stormwater). Although this item must initially be consented by our Planning Manager, the eventual protective works (footing, retaining structures) will be evaluated at the time of the building consent application. Appendix I6BOn-site stormwater dispersal - alternative designs. This soak-well system may be designed by Council approval authors and presently covers the Pauanui and Whangamata sandbar areas. It is expected that the system will be extended in the future to include other sandbar areas along Coromandel's East Coast and will represent a substantial cost saving to the owner and developer. Appendix J Approved materials. The materials list is under development. It will eventually be monitored and updated on a regular basis when Council has a "live" team. Appendix KApplication for Thames-Coromandel District Council approved contractor. This item will be administered by the Building Servcies Manager
