• The TPD’s project and construction management team
• Safety
• Construction traffic management and access
• Site security
• Laydown areas

Licence to Undertake Works (LUW): All Works outside the parcel boundaries are subject to obtaining an LUW which will be issued by BBD upon request of the TPD but will be subject to no objections being obtained from other relevant parties. Conditions set on the LUW must be adhered to.
