SECTION 1: STRATEGIC PLANNING MATTERS

1/1 World Heritage Nomination of the Cooloola Area

Re: Minute: P03/03/09 World Heritage Nomination of the Cooloola Area From: Alan Feely, Executive Director, Queensland Parks and Wildlife

Service File: 6/6/10/0002 Date: 3 February, 2009 Minute G13/01/09 from the General Meeting held on 12 January 2009

“That Council contact EPA to seek clarification of their intentions regarding the Heritage Listing and advise Mr Gibson accordingly.” Letter from Environmental Protection Agency received 6 February 2009 “Thank you for your letter of 20 January 2009 supporting the nomination of the Cooloola area as a World Heritage property and suggesting separate listing for Fraser Island and Cooloola. As you are probably aware, the original 1991 nomination for World Heritage listing included Fraser Island and Cooloola, plus certain others parts of the Great Sandy Region. However, based on the independent assessment report for that area, the World Heritage Committee, at its December 1992 meeting, decided to list only Fraser Island. The independent evaluation report on which that decision was based contained the following statement: “The existence of World Heritage values in Cooloola is less convincing. The area is a national park and it has been the site of some important scientific research but it is subject to a number of land use problems in its southern section”. The Fraser Island World Heritage Area Scientific Committee published a report in 2004 entitled Cooloola: Assessment of potential Outstanding Universal Value. This report presents a strong case for Cooloola to be nominated as an extension of the existing Fraser Island World Heritage property. The following quote is extracted from that report: “Broad scientific consensus exists for the fact that Fraser Island and Cooloola together represent ‘Outstanding Universal Value’ for a coastal sand system environment that is substantially enhanced beyond that of each property separately. For example, the Noosa River catchment adds a further component to the geological and geomorphological history of coastal lands not present on Fraser Island. Conditions of integrity would also be better met through a combination of the areas as a single World Heritage site than through the separate listing of each”.



It is also my understanding that the proposed Cooloola extension is to be placed on the UNESCO World Heritage tentative list by the Commonwealth Government as a proposed extension to the existing Fraser Island property. All previous consultations between my predecessors and the Commonwealth for the Environment on this matter have been in terms of an extension to the existing property rather than a separate nomination. It was only on that basis that the Commonwealth supported public consultation on an agreed tentative boundary as a precursor to a formal nomination (which can be made only by the Commonwealth Government). Given the above actions, my officers advise me that it would be difficult to develop a case for a separate nomination and, in fact, it would be counter-productive to do so. The two areas (Fraser Island and Cooloola) would, in a sense, be competing with each other as they exhibit many of the same geomorphological and biological values that would be considered for World Heritage status. Having said that, if your Council still holds the same view during the public consultation process, then please present it with supporting details. Bear in mind that there would be no difficultly referring to, and promoting, the Cooloola section of any new World Heritage property, in the same way that reference is made to the Daintree section of the Wet Tropics, the Riversleigh section of Australian Fossil Mammal Sites, and the Lamington section of Gondwana Rainforests. I am unable to give you the precise timing for public consultation on the nomination at the moment. This is subject to further consideration by Cabinet. However, I can assure you that, as soon as it proceeds, I will ensure that officers are available to meet with the Gympie Regional Council. For your information, I have enclosed a copy of the Cooloola document that I quoted from above. The quote is taken from paragraph 3 on page 6. Thank you again for your support of the World Heritage nomination. If any further information is required, please do not hesitate to contact Peter Ogilvie of the Environmental Protection Agency on telephone 3227 7707.” Report: (Manager Strategic Planning – K.A. Rolfe) 1.0 EPA RESPONSE The response from the Environmental Protection Agency to Council’s suggestion that the Cooloola area be nominated separately to the Fraser Island World Heritage Area is reasonably emphatic that the current proposal is preferable and more likely to succeed.



“Broad scientific consensus exists for the fact that Fraser Island and Cooloola together represent ‘Outstanding Universal Value’ for a coastal sand system environment that is substantially enhanced beyond that of each property separately…….Conditions of integrity would also be better met through a combination of the areas as a single World Heritage site than through the separate listing of each.” 2.0 OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT A CASE Should Council wish to pursue separate nomination for the Cooloola area then it must present its views with supporting details during the public consultation phase. EPA is advising that it would be difficult to develop such a case. 3.0 PROMOTION OPPORTUNITY In line with the suggestion that the Cooloola Section of any World Heritage listed property could be referred to and promoted separately, it is noted that this is the current situation with the Great Sandy National Park. The Cooloola National Park was originally declared as a separate Park, but is now the Cooloola Section, Great Sandy National Park.

P03/03/09 Moved: Cr L.J. Friske Seconded: Cr R.A. Gâté

Recommend that Council writes to the Environmental Protection Agency clarifying that Council foresees detrimental impacts to the Cooloola Area should it be appended to the Fraser Island World Heritage Area listing, and if it cannot achieve a separate listing then Council withdraws its support for the proposal.

Carried.



1/2 Heritage Committee Charter – Membership

Re: Minute: P04/03/09 Heritage Committee Charter – Membership From: Heritage Committee File: 6/6/07/0001 Date: 24th February 2009 Report: (Manager Strategic Planning – K.A. Rolfe) 1.0 COMMITTEE MEMBER RESIGNATION At its meeting held December 2008 the Heritage Advisory Committee discussed the resignation of Carmel Sweeney from the committee. The Committee resolved to recommend to Council that Dr Rae Norris be appointed to the Committee in place of Ms Sweeney. Dr Norris has the interest and knowledge in historical matters to ably advise Council. 2.0 AMENDED CHARTER The Charter of the Committee needs to be altered to reflect new membership details.

P04/03/09 Moved: Cr R.A. Gâté Seconded: Cr J. Watt

Recommend that Council amends the Heritage Advisory Committee Charter (GRC035) as effective at 22 October 2008 by deleting Carmel Sweeney from the nominated members for the 2008-2012 term of Council and in her place add Dr Rae Norris. Further that Council writes to Dr Norris welcoming her to the position on the Committee.

Carried. Mr M. Hartley (Director of Planning & Development) left the meeting at

9.11 a.m. and returned at 9.12 a.m.



1/3 Draft Environment and Natural Resource Levy Community Group Grant Policy

Re: Minute: P05/03/09 Draft Environment and Natural Resource Levy

Community Group Grant Policy From: Manager Strategic Planning File: 6/6/12/0001 Date: 24th February 2009 Report: (Manager Strategic Planning – K.A. Rolfe) 1.0 PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS Council has previously discussed the general direction for administration and distribution of the Environment Levy. Pursuant to those discussions and a brief discussion with several community groups at a meeting held 29th January, the attached policy has been drafted for Council consideration. 2.0 KEY ISSUES 2.1 Levy name A change in the name of the levy is recommended to encompass environmental and natural resource management. Many of the community groups focus mostly on natural resource management. “Environmental management is the management of interaction by modern human societies with, and impact upon the environment. It is not the conservation of the environment solely for the environment's sake, but rather the conservation of the environment for humankind's sake.” “The environment also involves the relationships of the human environment, such as the social, cultural and economic environment with the bio-physical environment.” “Natural resource management is a discipline in the management of natural resources such as land, water, soil, plants and animals, with a particular focus on how management affects the quality of life for both present and future generations. The discipline has given rise to the notion of sustainable development, a principle which forms the basis for land management and environmental governance throughout the world.”



2.2 Percentage of Levy for Community Groups It is recommended that thirty-five percent of the levy be set aside for community groups. In accordance with this year’s projected budget this would allow in the vicinity of $200,000. This is reflective of Cooloola Shire’s previous commitment to partnerships with the community NRM groups. 2.3 Accountability Given the substantial grant amounts an increase in accountability needs to be introduced. Half yearly reporting and an acquittal process are recommended. The grants will also be subject to a binding funding agreement stating the agreed outcomes and milestones. If the group does not perform well then this will be taken into account in future rounds. 2.4 Certainty There is provision for groups to apply for three year funding. This would need to be accompanied by sufficient evidence of the expected outcomes. 2.5 Other Issues The following issues have not been addressed in the policy and may warrant additions:

▪ How is distribution of the levy across the region to be addressed?

▪ What happens to unallocated levy money? 3.0 RATES FREE TREES Council should decide on whether to continue the current rates free trees program for the 2009/2010 financial period. This will affect the application that will be submitted by Cityfarm. The current program would not be supported by any relevant plan. The Tin Can Bay Cityfarm nursery operations would support the implementation of the Caring for Our Country Business Plan insofar as its production of trees for rehabilitation purposes in a coastal hotspot and Ramsar Wetland area. 4.0 CONSULTATION Council may wish to undertake community consultation in regards to the draft Environment and Natural Resource Levy Policy. Due to time constraints this would need to occur after the 2009/2010 budget deliberations with Council adopting an Interim policy in the meantime.



P05/03/09 Moved: Cr J. Watt Seconded: Cr G.L. Engeman

Recommend that Council adopts the Interim Environment and Natural Resource Levy Community Grants Policy as presented in the Attachment to the report (as amended), and advertises the Policy for public comment pursuant to adoption of the 2009/2010 budget.

Carried.

REFER MINUTE G14/03/09 for amendments to condition 6 of the attachment.

SUSPENSION OF STANDING ORDERS P06/03/09 It was resolved that the Committee suspend standing orders to deal with Item 3/1 SECTION 3: RECONFIGURING A LOT APPLICATIONS 3/1 2008- 1307 – Development Application for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision

to Create One (1) Additional Lot, 33 Gibson Road, Mooloo – W. Blakeney

FILE: Minute: P07/03/09 & P08/03/09 2008-1307

APPLICANT: W. and S. Blakeney LANDOWNER: W. and S. Blakeney RPD: Lot 220 SP142158 SITE: 33 Gibson Road, Mooloo PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision

to Create One (1) Additional Lot NO. OF LOTS: Two (2) EXISTING ZONE: Rural



Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm)

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal

This application seeks approval for a one (1) lot rural subdivision off Gibson Road, Mooloo.



The proposed lot to be excised is approximately 5 800m2 in area.



1.2 Site Description The lot is currently improved by an existing dwelling and farm buildings. The site is used for a dairy. Gibson Road is currently constructed to a single lane gravel standard and is on Council’s maintenance register. 1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Surrounding land uses are rural in nature. 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Planning Scheme The proposal was lodged under the 2005 Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme where the property is included in the rural zone. The application is subject to code assessment against the following codes: • Rural Planning Area Code • Reconfiguring a Lot Code • Infrastructure Works Code • Landscaping Code • Resource Areas Code 2.2 Planning Scheme Provisions and Policies The primary issue with this proposal is that proposed lot 1 does not comply with Council’s minimum size requirement for the rural zone of 100 hectares. In fact, it is also less than that ordinarily required for a new rural residential lot. Whilst the proposal plan indicates lot 1 as having an area of 1.6 Ha, the plan has not been professionally drawn and calculations of the area on Council’s mapping indicates its actual area is approximately 5 800m2. In justification of the application, the following was submitted by the applicant: ‘The proposal doesn’t comply with the 100 hectare minimum lot size provision. The proposed additional lot is about 1.6 Ha. Council is requested for (sic) support for the application for the reason that council agreed to a subdivision for a similar lot on Stewart Road, Coondoo.’



Council previously approved a one (1) lot rural subdivision at Coondoo in August 2007. As with that proposal, this application involves a vinculum parcel, with the proposed smaller lot being separated from the parent parcel by a road, in this case Gibson Road. Given the applicant’s reliance on Council’s previous decision as the basis for justification of this application a comparison on the other merits previously relied upon is considered relevant. Physical Separation The rural lot approved for subdivision at Stewart Road was physically separated from the parent parcel by a paved and reasonably trafficked road. Amalgamation with an adjoining parcel, although the most desirable option, was not considered of any benefit at Stewart Road given the existing watercourse at the rear of the lot, which was its only common boundary with another property. Lot 1 proposed in this application is similarly physically separated from the parent parcel however only by a gravel road. In this instance, also, there is considered to exist a viable option to amalgamate the land with the adjoining property to the south. GQAL and SPP 1/02 The site contains Good Quality Agricultural Land according to Council’s mapping and therefore State Planning Policy 1/92: Development and Conservation of Agricultural Land applies. The approved lot at Stewart Road was considered incapable of being farmed given its isolation, nor would the parent parcel lose productivity through the excision. Given the current topography and location of proposed lot 1 across a constructed and reasonably trafficked road, approval of this proposal is similarly not considered to compromise the State Planning Policy. The Policy, however, would more strongly favour amalgamation of proposed lot 1 with the adjoining holding of 68 hectares, approximately five (5) hectares of which is excised from its parent parcel via Gibson Road. Access / Road Network The proposed lot commences approximately 160 metres from the intersection of Gibson and Mooloo Roads, however access to the site for the most practical house site would be from the most southern end which is 330 metres from the intersection. Whilst Mooloo Road is constructed to a single lane bitumen standard, Gibson Road is constructed to only a single lane gravel standard.



On the Stewart Road approval Council imposed conditions requiring the upgrading of the frontage of the new lot to a single lane bitumen standard, in addition to a road contribution equivalent to that levied under the Rural Residential Road Contribution Policy. Both Steward and Gibson Roads are identified as school bus routes. Consistency with Existing Development Pattern There are five (5) lots within a two (2) kilometre radius of the site less than two (2) hectares in area. In addition, there are six (6) lots less than four (4) hectares. The smallest lot is 2 023m2. Most, if not all, of these lots appear to be historic subdivisions created either before development controls were in place or approved under previous Council provisions that permitted family subdivisions. 3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Lot Layout The lot layout proposed is regular however is considered to provide a restricted building area and impractical yard area for its intended purpose as a rural residential lot. 3.2 Water Supply and Sewerage The development is not serviced by reticulated water or sewerage. Council’s minimum water storage requirements would apply at the building approval stage for each proposed dwelling. A geotechnical assessment has not been submitted with the application to confirm adequate area is available for effluent disposal. Such a report should be requested if Council gives the application favourable consideration. 3.4 Park A parks contribution should be applicable to any approval of the application, as was levied on the Stewart Road approval.

P07/03/09 Moved: Cr G.L. Engeman Seconded: Recommend that Council approve the application. The motion lapsed for want of a Seconder.



P08/03/09 Moved: Cr L.J. Friske Seconded: Cr J. Watt

Recommend that Council, as Assessment Manager, REFUSE development application (2008-1307) for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create One (1) Additional Lot over Lot 220 SP142158 located at 33 Gibson Road, Mooloo based on the following grounds: (i) the proposal does not comply with Council’s Planning Scheme; (ii) the area of proposed lot 1 is inconsistent with the existing

development pattern in the area; (iii) proposed lot 1 is unsuitable for use as a residential lot and provides

for a restricted building area; (iv) a more appropriate and viable option would result in proposed lot 1

being amalgamated with adjoining Lot 2 LX1872; and (v) proposed lot 1 is rural residential in nature, however, cannot be

reasonably conditioned to be provided with rural residential standards such as a sealed lead-in road.

Carried.

SECTION 2: PLANNING APPLICATIONS 2/1 2008-0640 – Material Change of Use – Multi-Residential (4 Units) –

6 Shayduk Close, Gympie – Blue Ridge Homes Pty Ltd FILE NO: Minute: P09/03/09 2008-0640 APPLICANT: Blue Ridge Homes Pty Ltd LANDOWNER: Blue Ridge Homes Pty Ltd as Trustee RPD: Lot 5 SP 196690 SITE ADDRESS: 6 Shayduk Close, Gympie PROPOSAL: Material Change of Use – Multi-

Residential (4 Units) CURRENT USE OF LAND: Vacant Land ZONE: Housing PREFERRED AREA: Mixed Housing PLANNING AREA: Gympie SUBMISSIONS: Nil



Report: (Contract Planning Officer – S.J. Taylor & Craven Ovenden

Town Planning) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This application seeks Council’s approval for a Material Change of Use for the purpose of a Multi-Residential Development (4 dwelling units), on a site at Shayduk Close, Gympie, formally described as Lot 5 on SP196690. 1.1 Site Description • The site is located on the western side of Shayduk Close, Gympie, and was

created by a subdivision approval granted by Council. Shayduk Close runs westward from Old Maryborough Road and turns north to end in a Y-shaped vehicle turnaround.

• The site includes 1 lot measuring 1360m2. It is currently vacant, slopes away from the Shayduk Close Street frontage and is largely clear of vegetation.

• 2 easements affect the site, running down the northwest and southwest boundaries that are required for drainage purposes.

1.2 The Proposal The application seeks approval for a multi-residential development comprising 4 dwelling units on Lot 5 Shayduk Close, Gympie. In detail, the proposal includes the following: • Four 2 storey attached units each with garage and laundry at ground floor

and 2 bedrooms, kitchen, dining, living, bathroom and study at the upper floor;

• Excavation at the rear of the building footprint to accommodate the lower level at the rear of the building. The building has the appearance of a single storey from the front and 2 storeys from the rear;

• Vehicle access is provided over the drainage easement to the vehicle accommodation, manoeuvring area and visitor parking at the rear of the building;

• Pedestrian access and private ground level open space is provided at front of each unit;

• Landscaping is proposed around the site boundary, including vehicle manoeuvring areas; and

• Designated bin enclosure area. The proposed layout is identified in the plans following.



1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Surrounding allotments in the subdivision are currently vacant as is the large allotment to the west. Development immediately surrounding the subdivision comprises single detached residences.







2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Overall Outcomes / Desired Environmental Outcomes The overall intent of the Housing zone is primarily for detached dwellings but it is also intended to accommodate a range of housing forms which provide a high level of amenity. The site is also in the Mixed-Housing preferred use area which is intended to accommodate a range of residential development, including multi-residential.



The proposal is consistent with the intent of the Housing zone and that of the Mixed-Housing preferred use area under the Planning Scheme. The four proposed dwelling units largely comply with the provisions of the Scheme and are located in an area which already accommodates similar development, particularly to the south in Somerset Street. There are no significant concerns with regard to the nature of this application per se, or its potential impact on nearby residents or activities. No submissions were received indicating that this is an expected land use within the locality. 2.2 Overlays / Natural Hazards / State Planning Policies 2.2.1 Erosion Hazard The site falls within four categories in the Erosion Hazard Area, Very Low, Low, High and Very High as per Natural Hazard Mapping. The predominant categories are Very High across the front and northern part of the site and Low through the southern part of the site. This issue has not been formally addressed by the applicant however, given that the proposed area of excavation is located predominantly in the Low Erosion Hazard Area, an approval condition requiring the preparation of a Construction and Operational Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is to be imposed to reduce potential risk associated with run-off. 2.3 Assessment Against Codes

The applicable Codes include the following:

• Gympie Planning Area Code • Multi-Residential Code • Infrastructure Works Code • Landscaping Code • Erosion and Sediment Control Code • Vehicle Parking & Access

A brief overview of the proposal’s compliance with the relevant Code provisions of the Scheme is provided in the following sections.



Gympie Planning Area Code Impact on Amenity The site is in a residential area and in the Mixed-Housing Preferred Use Area. Given this, the proposal poses impacts that are to be expected in the circumstances, with the construction of new dwellings in an established residential area. The proposal complies with the height, setback, plot ratio and site cover requirements of the Code. The site is in the Mixed-Housing Preferred Use Area and the proposal involves only 4 units and incorporates landscaping between the driveway and side boundary, therefore significant adverse impacts on nearby residents are not anticipated. Notwithstanding this, potential impacts from light emission and noise are to be consistent with the Probable Solution of the Code and this is to be enforced by a standard condition. Scale, Siting and Provision of Buildings, Structures and Other Works The building itself has been designed in accordance with the provisions of the Code. The proposed bin storage area is not located within the frontage setback as suggested by PS-18 of the Code, however being located adjacent to the driveway at the rear of the building still provides convenient access for collection, screening from the site and is unlikely to cause nuisance to neighbours. The proposed location complies with the Specific Outcome and should be approved.

Multi-Residential Code No information is provided regarding the provision of clothes drying areas. An approval condition requiring external communal clothes drying facilities is to be imposed to ensure that residents are provided with appropriate clothes drying in a sustainable fashion. Specific Outcome 8 of the Code relates to building articulation and an acceptable solution under the Planning Scheme is that any length of wall in one plane is not greater than 15 metres, provided that the external facades are offset by one metre or more and no return to the same plane for 10 metres. The rear and front building wall, plane length of the proposed development before any offset is proposed is 18.3 metres. The above only represents a minor non compliance and as the walls are located at front and rear of the building visual impact from the street will be minimal. The proposed development meets all other aspects of the code.



Infrastructure Works Code

The site is connected to reticulated water and sewerage and has access to electricity and telecommunications infrastructure.

The applicant proposes to collect water from the driveway areas in grated pits which are to be connected to the existing drainage system within the site easements. Roofwater is to be piped underground to the proposed pits in the driveway and thence to the existing drainage system. Standard conditions will apply. Landscaping Code Private and communal open space provision meets Planning Scheme requirements and an approval condition should be imposed requiring the submission of a detailed landscape plan to Council for approval as part of an Operational Works application. Erosion and Sediment Control Code An approval condition requiring the preparation of a Construction and Operational Erosion and Sediment Control Plan should be imposed. Vehicle Parking and Access Code Under Schedule 10: Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements, the proposed multi-residential development attracts a parking rate of 1 covered space per dwelling with an additional 0.5 visitor spaces per dwelling. The proposal accommodates 7 covered parking spaces, 1.75 per unit, and 2 visitor car parks, 0.5 spaces per dwelling. As the proposal incorporates sufficient parking space for both residents and visitors, the proposed arrangement is considered acceptable. In an information request previously issued by Council, the applicant was requested to provide vehicle turning circles for Parking Bay 4 to comply with AS2890.1 Parking Facilities – Off-street parking. The information provided was hand drawn and not contained within the proposed vehicle manoeuvring area. This has failed to demonstrate compliance with the Australian Standard. It is recommended that an approval condition be imposed requiring ‘to-scale’ turning templates be included on all subsequent plans for Building and/or Operational Works applications that indicate that all car parking spaces can be accessed in a forward gear with a maximum of three vehicle manoeuvres.



3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Impact on Amenity Refer to Section 2.4 (Gympie Planning Area Code) of this report. 3.2 Flooding The site is not subject to flooding.

3.3 Site Contamination The site is not listed in the Environmental Management Register.

3.4 Water and Sewerage Headworks Water Supply and Sewerage Headworks are applicable and the contributions in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy No. 7 – Water and Sewerage Headworks Contributions are calculated as follows: Water Supply Units

[2.5ep (3 bedroom unit) x 3] = 7.5ep Credits [3.5ep (Credit for dwelling on lot (> 1 000m2)] Total EP = 7.5 – 3.5ep = 4.0ep = $4 420

Sewerage [2.9ep (3 bedroom unit) x 3] = 8.7ep Credits [3.0ep (Credit for dwelling on lot (> 1 000m2)] Total EP = 8.7 – 3.0ep = 5.7ep = $9 843



3.5 Local State Planning Policies No Local or State Planning Policies are applicable to this application. 4.0 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION The application was publicly notified in accordance with the Integrated Planing Act and as a result no submissions were received. 5.0 CONSULTATION 5.1 Internal (a) Department of Engineering Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – Antal Laszlo)

This engineering report is based on the report dated May 2008 and additional

information submitted by applicant to construct 4 x 2 bedroom units fronting Shayduk Close.

TRAFFIC Traffic generated is considered to be less than the amount of traffic generated

by a residential property, therefore a figure of 8 trips per day is considered reasonable ie 32 trips per day. A contribution $656 [(32 – 10) ÷ 10] x $298 is justified.

FRONTAGE / ACCESS Shayduk Close is fully constructed without a concrete footpath along the full

development frontage. A concrete footpath should be constructed. However a contribution of $4,039 would be more beneficial to be used in the general area.

The access driveway and car parking is to comply with AS2890.1. The proposed driveway is to be constructed with the existing stormwater pit in Shayduk Close to be incorporated into the driveway crossover. This may be difficult to achieve, as this is a sag pit, with the access driveway, the overland flowpath as well as over the sewer main. WATER SUPPLY AND SEWERAGE • Headworks charges to apply for each. • Single point of connection for each. • Master meter to be provided with individual meters to each unit.



STORMWATER DRAINAGE The development site falls towards the stormwater easement at the rear of the lot. The stormwater discharge from the development to the stormwater easement is acceptable. However the stormwater design is to address Q100 flow path from the existing stormwater pit in Shayduk Close. The development site is not prone to flooding.

OTHER SERVICES • All available • Street lighting is adequate of this location

5.2 External There are no referral agencies for this application. 6.0 CONCLUSION The application proposes a Material Change of Use for Multi-Residential (4 Dwelling Units) on a new allotment at Shayduk Close, Gympie, formally described as Lot 5 on SP196690 which is consistent with the zoning, the intent of the Mixed-Housing Preferred Use Area and majority of provisions of the Planning Scheme and should be supported subject to appropriate conditions.

Education or Health Premises (Multi-Purpose Centre for Existing School)

PLANNING AREA Gympie EXISTING ZONE: Community LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code (Consistent Use) SUBMISSIONS: Three (3)



KEY POINT SUMMARY • application for a new multi-purpose centre for the existing St Patrick’s

College in Gympie; • previous application submitted in 2008 but was refused by Council based

on noise and amenity concerns; • new proposal on land zoned Community and is a consistent use; • compliant noise report received; • minor non-compliance with probable solutions relating to height and

setbacks but considered justified and still consistent with the Codes; • application not required to be formally advertised however objections

received from three (3) nearby residents; • application recommended for approval. Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This application seeks a development permit to establish a Multi-Purpose Centre for the existing St Patrick’s College in Gympie. It proceeds a previous application for the same use over an adjoining property, which was refused by Council in July 2008 based on amenity issues.



1.1 The Proposal The proposed building has a gross floor area of 930m2 and is intended to provide multi-purpose court activities, together with an assembly and storage area, associated with and ancillary to the existing College. It is also to contain: (i) storage facilities; (ii) sport and recreation equipment storages; (iii) student amenities (ie toilets, change rooms); and (iv) cleaner’s room. The building will replace the existing tennis courts, which can be seen in the following aerial photo. An extract from the proposal report, describing the application reads: ‘Generally the facility will be operated during normal school hours, with occasional use after school, on weekends and during public holidays, with infrequent evening use (i.e. up to four times per year for school presentation nights and the like). The primary intent for the use of the new Multi Purpose Centre is to provide for a multi-purpose facility aimed at meeting the College’s immediate educational needs, providing for essential College sporting and recreational facilities, as well as an area for school assembly and other College functions and gatherings as normally associated with and incidental to the College.’











1.2 Site Description The site has primary frontage to New Zealand Street but forms part of St Patrick’s College land holdings, whose address is 20 Bligh Street. The development site slopes to the south and fill between 0.5m and 0.6m is intended to create a level building pad.



1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Development to the east of the site is primarily residential and to the north the Main School Buildings and oval for St Patricks College. Land directly to the south is Unallocated State Land, zoned housing and under the control of the Department of Natural Resources and Water. Properties to the west and further south are zoned Housing and used for residential purposes, with the majority of dwellings having frontages to Hilton Road and New Zealand Street. The nearest residential property / dwelling is located on the adjoining land to the east at 23A New Zealand Street. 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Integrated Planning Act Given the components of development applied for, the following referral agencies were applicable:

• Queensland Transport; and • Queensland Department of Main Roads

2.2 State Planning Policies No policies relevant to this proposal. 2.3 Planning Scheme Provisions The subject site is zoned Community where Education or Health Premises is a consistent use and code assessable. The following codes are applicable to the proposed development. (i) Gympie Planning Area Code; (ii) Erosion and Sediment Control Code; (iii) Infrastructure Works Code; (iv) Landscaping Code; and (v) Vehicle Parking and Access Code. Gympie Planning Area Code Overall Outcomes The application does not compromise any overall outcome of the Code and complies with the overall outcome for the Community Zone by expanding on an existing community service.



Specific Outcomes Specific Outcomes of the Code relate to: - amenity (ie light/noise/air emissions, traffic impacts and impacts on

electricity supply); and - provision and effects of works (ie height, setbacks, floor levels,

compatibility with existing built environment). A central issue to the previous application was noise and the noise report submitted that indicated adverse impacts on the adjoining residential property. A noise report similarly accompanied this new application and this was reviewed by an independent consultant engaged by Council. The review has determined that: ‘ . . the assessment standards they have applied are appropriate to demonstrate that the facility can be operated such that the amenity of surrounding residents is not adversely impacted upon, particularly given that the current use as tennis courts in this locality would have its own amenity impacts.’ It further suggests that suitable conditions be imposed to provide certainty to neighbouring residents as to the potential acoustic impact of the proposal. Such conditions may include:

1. Limitation on hours of use (Council to suggest) 2. Specific noise limit for amplified sound 3. Specific noise levels for any airconditioning/ventilation plant.

The specific wording suggested for the conditions have been included in the recommendation. A variation on the minimum 10.0 metre boundary setback is sought on the eastern and western elevations of the building. The red colouring on the plan below indicate those areas on adjoining residential allotments within a 10m building line. The encroachments are considered minor and do not coincide with existing buildings on the affected lots.



Maximum height is indicated on the elevations as 9.95 metres, measured from ground level. As filling is proposed to the existing surface level, the actual height as defined by the planning scheme will exceed 10.0 metres (between 10.25 and 10.5m). The maximum height prescribed by the Code for the Community Zone is 8.5 metres. In justification for the exceedance, the applicant submits the following:



‘It is considered that the structure’s scale, size and bulk is not so substantial that would warrant any further or substantial change to the building design, orientation or re-positioning on site, given that: • Building setbacks are equivalent to or in excess of the Schedule 4 of the

planning scheme, which could be utilised as an ‘alternative solution’ to the Gympie Planning Area Code requirements for assessment, as applied to the previous development proposal and as discussed in Section 2.5.1 below;

• Building height and scale are a direct function of minor earthworks proposed for a level building platform and the purpose-built nature of the structure, as discussed in Section 2.5.2 below; and

• GFA as a result of the development is not significant, with the main footprint of the building is represented by a ‘Covered Area’ over an existing area currently utilised for sport and recreational uses.’

It is acknowledged that the building has been designed such that only a small section in the centre of the roof exceeds the allowable limit. Given the nature of the use and its location the specific outcome in relation to height is considered satisfied. Further Planning Scheme Policy 3 elaborates on the criteria that applies in assessing a development’s height and storeys and permits Council to exceed the prescribed height when the following applies: - the slope and physical characteristics of the site dictate special design

features; and - the proposal compliments other buildings or structures in the vicinity; - the building uses external finishes that do not create glare or nuisance to

neighbours; - the proposal is designed to result in no adverse impact on adjoining

properties in relation to overlooking, overshadowing, diminished access to natural breezes, diminished visual or acoustic privacy; and

- loss of views. It is contended that the proposed building achieves the above given the design incorporating; (i) a solid wall (with the exception of toilet windows) on the elevation to the

closest residence; (ii) the development site is in a gully and will not be overlooking any existing

residences; (iii) a favourable noise report has been submitted; and (iv) proposed building materials are not likely to result in glare. Erosion and Sediment Control Code No issues are perceived that cannot be adequately controlled / managed or mitigated in any building or operation permit. Infrastructure Works Code Adequate infrastructure is provided or can be upgraded to service the development.



Water Supply & Sewerage Headworks Contributions are not considered applicable given the multi-purpose building is not considered to increase the capacity of the existing school by way of additional students or teachers. Landscaping Code The areas available for landscaping to boundaries meet the criteria in Schedule 8 of the Planning Scheme. The application contends that no additional landscaping works need to be provided adjacent to Schumann Lane and this view is endorsed. Vehicle Parking and Access Code Schedule 10 – Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements stipulates that off street carparking for an education or health premises be provided at the rate of:

(i) 1 space per staff member; and (ii) 1 space per 5 students of driving age; and (iii) off street set down areas capable of accommodating a minimum of 1

bus per 100 students and 5 cars. The applicant advises the use of the facility will be associated with the existing functions of the site as an educational institution and no change to the current staff and student members. Whilst the applicant considers no additional car parking is warranted for the proposal, provision is made for an additional six (6) spaces, including one (1) accessible space. This arrangement is supported. 3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

3.1 Amenity Amenity issues are considered addressed in the assessment against the Gympie Planning Area Code. 3.2 Water Supply & Sewerage Water Supply & Sewerage Headworks contributions are not considered applicable given the proposal does not increase the school’s operating capacity by way of students and/or teachers.



4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal (a) Department of Engineering Report: (General Manager Design Services Division - R. Chapman) This engineering report is based on the information provided by the applicant's architect G & M Consultants and Duggan & Hede ref November 2008. TRAFFIC The application claims that the proposed use will not generate any additional traffic as it only supplements existing facilities at the school. While this may be so during school hours there is usually out of hours use with these facilities. However, this use will then be outside of peak hours. Hence, it is considered not reasonable to impose contributions towards road upgradings due to additional traffic generation. ACCESS AND CAR PARKING Due to its connection with the school, most accesses will be pedestrian orientated during school hours except for a small amount of service type vehicles that need direct access off New Zealand Street. However, with out of hours use, access will be from New Zealand Street. This out of hours use such as graduation functions could result in large requirements for street parking in this area which has never been exposed to such parking demands previously. It is highly unlikely that night time functions would utilise the current on street parking now available in the streets around the College as it would be too dark and too steep to walk from Church Street to the site. Six car parks only are proposed. On site car parking numbers are determined by the Town Planning Directorate. FRONTAGE New Zealand Street is fully constructed to 8.5 metre width with kerb and channel but without a concrete footpath. A footpath along this frontage should be constructed as street parking will be necessary. STORMWATER DRAINAGE The site adjoins Lot 90 on MPH896041 (owned by the Church) which is immediately downstream of USL that acts as a drainage path through this area. That drainage path needs to be upgraded to meet Council standards both for piped flows and overland flows. This would include the existing pit and downstream pipe across New Zealand Street.



WATER AND SEWERAGE Both services are available. A separate service should be provided for water to meet fire fighting requirements. Headworks charges may be applicable depending on existing credits. OTHER SERVICES Electricity and telecom services are in the area but may require upgrading at the applicant's cost. Additional street lighting is required in the area with a contribution of $2,250 required for three (3) lights at $750 each. SUBMISSIONS These are mainly of a Town Planning nature except for concerns regarding the open stormwater drain over part of the site. This has been addressed in the report and conditioned accordingly. 4.2 External (a) Department of Main Roads Pursuant to the Integrated Planning Act 1997 the application was referred to the Department of Main Roads as a concurrence agency. The Department have advised that it has no requirements with respect to the proposed development. (b) Queensland Transport Pursuant to the Integrated Planning Act 1997 the application was referred to Queensland Transport as a concurrence agency. The Department have advised that it has no requirements with respect to the proposed development. (c) Public Notification Given the level of assessment for the application, formal public notification was not required. Letters, however, were sent to nearby residents and as a result three (3) objections were received from the following properties.



Development Site

Submitter Issues Comments Imposing building with a height twice that of the existing tennis court fence.

The proposed building largely complies with maximum height requirements with the exception of a small section in the centre of the roof.

Objection to toilets being closest to living areas in existing dwelling and noise from flushing.

The building has been designed such that the main opening (and therefore the largest noise generator) is facing away from existing residences. The side of the building to contain the toilets has small window openings only. The noise report indicated no adverse impacts in this regard.

Blocking sunlight and impact on clothes drying area, especially in winter. Also restriction of breeze.

The building is considered sufficiently set back and the roof levels staggered to minimise this impact.

Devaluation of property. Not a valid planning objection, however difficult to determine given the site is currently school property and contains and existing sporting facility (ie tennis court).



Scale of building is out of character with immediate area.

The development proposed is on land zoned for a school and the scale of building proposed is considered consistent with the nature of school buildings.

Amplified sound and music causing nuisance.

The application is accompanied by a favourable noise report and conditions recommended in relation to noise levels. Should a valid complaint be received the applicant will be requested to undertake noise testing to confirm compliance with the conditions.

Council has an open drain Upgrading of the drain has been recommended in the design services report.

Night lighting. A condition has been included to control night lighting.

Loss of bushland and view onto trees with native birds.

The development site is privately owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese who are not obliged to retain land for public benefit.

5.0 CONCLUSION The proposed development is recommended for approval subject to conditions that preserve the amenity of existing nearby residences. Discussion ensued. On the consensus of the full Committee, the Chairman advised that Mrs A. Denmeade (submitter) would be permitted to address the Committee regarding her concerns.

2/3 2008-0460 – Material Change of Use of Premises – Commercial Premises at 13 Stanley Street and 18 Excelsior Road, Gympie – Fewtrell Family Trust FILE NO: Minute: P11/03/09 2008-0460 APPLICANT: Fewtrell Family Trust LANDOWNER: Storm Valley Gympie Pty Ltd As Trustee RPD: Lots 1 & 2 MPH6630 SITE ADDRESS: 13 Stanley Street and 18 Excelsior Road,

Gympie PROPOSAL: Material Change of Use – Commercial

Premises EXISTING ZONE: Housing (Cooloola Shire Council Planning

Scheme 2005) LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code SUBMISSIONS: None



KEY POINT SUMMARY

• Application to establish a Commercial Premises within the Housing Zone. • Application lodged for assessment against Cooloola Shire Council’s

Planning Scheme 2005. • Property is Zoned Housing, for which a Commercial Premises is an

‘inconsistent’ use. • The development proposes to utilise the existing dwelling houses, one of

which was previously approved for use as Professional Consulting Rooms (Physiotherapy Centre) in 1996.

• Given the previous commercial use of the site and proximity to Commercial zoned allotments, the proposed development is considered to be appropriate.

• The development is proposed to largely retain the residential character of the immediate surrounding area and represents an appropriate transitional interface between the existing residential and commercial areas.

• A condition restricting access arrangements to Stanley Street and Dent Lane only has been prepared.

• All other aspects of the proposed development generally comply with the provisions of the Planning Scheme.

• MCU to Establish a Commercial Premises recommended for Approval with conditions.

Report: (Principal Planner – K.M. Toomey) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This application seeks Council’s approval for a Material Change of Use to convert two (2) existing dwelling houses into a Commercial Premises on the corners of Excelsior Road, Stanley Street and Dent Lane, Gympie. The premises at 18 Excelsior Road, has a current approval (granted in 1996) for use as Professional Consulting Rooms (Physiotherapy Centre). This use is still operating at the site. 1.1 The Site

The development site is located over two (2) land parcels at 13 Stanley Street and 18 Excelsior Road, Gympie. The site is currently within the Housing zone and was formerly within the Local Government Area of Cooloola Shire. The site has a combined area of 1 677m2 and forms a regular rectangular shaped allotment, with approximately 40 metres of frontage to Stanley Street, 34 metres of frontage to Excelsior Road and 40 metres of frontage to Dent Lane. Excelsior Road is classified as an arterial road and all roads adjoining the development site are fully constructed to a double lane bitumen standard, complete with kerb and channel.



The site is currently improved by two (2) dwelling houses, one (1) of which was previously utilised as a Physiotherapy Centre. The topography of the site is gently sloping to the south-east, towards Dent Lane. 1.2 The Proposal The proposal comprises a Material Change of Use to establish a Commercial Premises within two (2) existing dwelling houses, one of which was previously approved for use as a Physiotherapy Centre.



The proposed layout is reproduced below.





1.3 Surrounding Land Use The immediate surrounding land use is characterised by Housing allotments utilised for residential purposes. A number of Commercial zoned allotments are located approximately 90 metres to the South of the subject site and a Commercial Premises has been previously approved by Council on the adjoining allotment, also within the Housing zone (Hotondo Homes).



Subject Site

Hotondo Homes

Zoning Map 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Compliance with the Planning Scheme 2.1.1 Scheme Definition Under the arrangements of the Cooloola Shire Council Planning Scheme 2005, Material Change of Use to establish a Commercial Premises in the Housing zone is “Code Assessable” development. 2.1.2 Planning Scheme Provisions The proposed development is considered to be an ‘Inconsistent Use’ within the Housing zone and is assessable against the following codes outlined below. Gympie Planning Area Code Specific Outcome 1 of the Gympie Planning Area Code states that ‘the following defined uses are inconsistent uses and are not located in the Housing Zone: …d. Commercial Premises if not for medical, health, personal or related services in the Medical Preferred Use Area’.



The proposed development is not able to meet this outcome, however, given the previous use of part of the site for commercial purposes as a Physiotherapy Centre and close proximity to allotments zoned Commercial, the proposal is considered to be an acceptable use of the site. All other aspects of the development are considered generally able to comply with the remainder of the outcomes sought from the Gympie Planning Area Code. Erosion and Sediment Control Code The development proposes to utilise the existing buildings and does not therefore require Erosion and Sediment Control measures to be implemented. However, a suitable condition can be imposed which will ensure that the outcomes sought by the Erosion and Sediment Control Code are able to be met, as part of an Operational Works Approval for the construction of car parking areas and access driveways. Infrastructure Works Code Given the existing approved commercial use of one (1) of the existing buildings and the credit owing for one (1) dwelling house (for which the equivalent person value for a Commercial Premises is calculated at a lesser value), no Headworks Contributions are considered able to be levied against the proposal. All aspects of the development are considered generally able to comply with the remainder of the outcomes sought from the Infrastructure Works Code. Landscaping Code Specific Outcome 1 of the Landscaping Code states that ‘Landscaping areas are located and designed to provide attractive streetscapes and their dimensions, the density of plants and the structure of plantings are sufficient to: a. screen premises from adjoining residential uses; or, b. soften the visual impact of large, tall or bulky structures and premises; or, c. provide shade and wind protection in, and increase the visual amenity of

car parking areas.’ Schedule 8 – Minimum Landscaping Dimensions and Works requires that landscaping be provided along all boundaries of a ‘minimum 2 metres wide at any point and averaging 3 metres wide’.



The development proposes landscaping to all boundaries of the site ranging in width from 1 to 1.5 metres and therefore does not comply with the requirements of Schedule 8. However, it is considered that the development is still able to meet the requirements of Specific Outcome 1 with the level of landscaping that has been proposed and given the adjoining commercial use, a relaxation of this standard is warranted in this instance. A condition requiring retention of existing on site vegetation, exclusive of areas requiring sealing in order to facilitate the development, has also been included within the recommendation. Vehicle Parking and Access Code Specific Outcome 1 of the Vehicle Parking and Access Code states that ‘adequate parking is to be provided to meet the needs of occupants, employees, visitors and other users.’ Probable Solution 1(a) requires that ‘vehicle parking spaces are provided on-site in accordance with Schedule 10 Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements’. Schedule 10 requires the development to provide eleven (11) car parking spaces. Eighteen (18) car spaces, including three (3) disabled spaces, are proposed as part of the development. The proposed development is generally able to comply with the outcomes sought by the Vehicle Parking and Access Code. Heritage and Character Code Part of the site is identified as being in a character streetscape value area. Specific Outcome 3 of the Heritage and Character Code states that ‘the townscape and streetscape significance of identified areas is retained and enhanced’. The development proposes to retain the existing dwelling house and as such is generally able to comply with the outcomes sought by the Heritage and Character Code. 2.2 State Planning Policies No State Planning Policies are considered applicable to this development. 3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Appropriateness of the Proposal The establishment of a “Commercial Premises” is generally considered to be inappropriate within the Housing zone. However, given the previous use of the site for commercial purposes and close proximity to allotments zoned Commercial, the proposal is considered to be an appropriate use of the site. Further, retention of the existing residential dwelling house character, as proposed by the development, achieves an appropriate interface between the existing residential and commercial uses within this area.



3.2 Impact on Amenity No major amenity concerns are raised by the proposal given the previous use of the site, utilisation of the existing buildings and retention of the existing residential appearance of the development. Conditions relating to landscaping and fencing have been included in the recommendation in order to limit the impact on the adjacent residential premises. 3.3 Site Access and Traffic Refer to the Design Services Division Report for further details regarding site access and traffic information. 3.4 Flooding The site is not known to be subject to inundation in a Q100 flood event. 3.5 Vegetation Given that the site is zoned Housing the significance of any existing vegetation is not considered to be a relevant consideration. 3.6 Site Contamination This site is not listed on the Environmental Management Register. 4.0 CONSULTATION

4.1 Internal

a) Design Services Division Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager– A. Laszlo) This engineering report is based on the report submitted by GECON Consultants dated May 2008 and subsequent information submitted. TRAFFIC No estimate of the additional traffic generated by the development has been nominated. Council has adopted a standard traffic generation rate of 10 vehicle trips per 100m2 GFA in accordance with industry guidelines for this type of development. Therefore a contribution of $5 663 is justified including a credit for the existing use.



Due to the narrowness of the existing roads, access and intersection location, car parking for the development should be contained on site by providing a “No Stopping Anytime” zone for the full development frontage until widening of Excelsior Road takes place. FRONTAGE ROAD / ACCESS / CARPARKING The proposed development site has three frontages. A 1.2m reinforced concrete footpath should be constructed along the full Excelsior Road frontage, however a contribution may be considered in lieu of construction. The Stanley Street frontage is constructed with kerb and channel without a footpath. However a contribution has been applied on a previous application over Lot 2 in MPH 6630 but the footpath is yet to be constructed. A 1.2m reinforced concrete footpath should be constructed along the full Stanley Street frontage of the site, however a contribution may be considered in lieu of construction. The Dent Lane frontage is constructed with kerb and channel without a footpath. Construction of a footpath is not considered warranted for the frontage of Dent Lane. The applicant has indicated an in only on Dent Lane. This is the preferred option as the road reserve is narrow at approximately 10.5 metres. The applicant has proposed an in and out access point on Stanley Street which will be the main access point for the development, this is the preferred option. The applicant has indicated a left-in and left-out access driveway on Excelsior Road. Enforcing this option could be difficult due to the two-way driveway access required for this configuration. The preferred option would be to reduce the overall access points onto Excelsior Road where possible. In this instance access can be gained via Stanley Street and/or Dent Lane. The Excelsior Road access should not be permitted. The proposed access driveways are in a different location to the existing accesses. Abandoned access driveways should be reinstated with kerb and channel and the footpath verge reconstructed to Council’s standard. The access driveway and car parking is to comply with AS2890.1. STORMWATER Run off from the sealed car parking area and building should be captured on site and discharged as per the requirements of the Planning Scheme into the existing stormwater system on site.



FLOODING The development site is not prone to flooding. WATER SUPPLY / SEWERAGE Both services are available with adequate capacity in each. SERVICES The developer will be required to provide electrical and communication services to the site with any upgrades to the developers costs. Street lighting is inadequate at the intersection of Stanley Street and Dent Lane therefore a contribution of $850 is justified. MISCELLANEOUS Car park lighting could impact adversely on adjoining properties if not directly focused. The development site over the two lots should be amalgamated. 4.2 External a) Heritage Advisory Committee The application was referred to the Heritage Advisory Committee as the site is included within the Heritage and Character Overlay as a Character Streetscape Area. The Committee had no concerns regarding the proposal, given that the existing buildings were to be retained. b) Concurrence/Advice Agencies No Concurrence or Advice Agencies are applicable to the proposal. c) Public Notification The application was determined to be “Code Assessable” only and as such was not required to be publicly notified. The application was however, included in Council’s monthly advertisement within the Gympie Times in July 2008. No submissions were received as a result.



5.0 CONCLUSION The application proposes the conversion of two (2) existing dwelling houses into a Commercial Premises within the Housing Zone. The site is in close proximity to existing Commercial land and one (1) of the existing buildings has previously been approved and used as a Physiotherapy Centre. The site also has adequate road frontage and has convenient access to the central business area of Gympie. Although the establishment of a “Commercial Premises” within a Housing Zone is identified as an “inconsistent” use under the provisions of the Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme 2005, sufficient planning grounds exist in order to support the proposed development as an appropriate use of the site. The development proposes to retain the existing residential character of the site and therefore provides an appropriate transitional interface between the existing developed residential and commercial areas.

SECTION 3: RECONFIGURING A LOT APPLICATIONS 3/2 2008-0732 – Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create 1 Additional Lot –

170 Fisher Road, Araluen – V. Lollback FILE NO: Minute: P12/03/09 2008-0732 APPLICANT: Vivian Lollback LANDOWNER: Vivian Lollback RPD: Lot 741 on MCH5342 SITE ADDRESS: 170 Fisher Road, Araluen CURRENT USE OF LAND: Vacant / Manufacturing Shed PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to

Create 1 Additional Lot PLANNING SCHEME: Cooloola Planning Scheme EXISTING ZONE: Rural



Report: (Contract Planner S. Taylor and Craven Ovenden Town

Planning) 1.0 Introduction This application seeks Council’s approval for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create 1 Additional Lot over Lot 741 on MCH5342 which is currently divided into two by a dedicated but unsealed road. 1.1 Site Description

• The site is located at 170 Fisher Road, Araluen, approximately 1.7 kilometres from Old Maryborough and approximately 4.3 kilometres north-east of Gympie by road.

• The site is accessed from Fisher Road, which in this location, is an unsealed road which divides the site in two.

• The site is improved by a large shed toward the south-western corner which is currently used for the fabrication of rainwater tanks. A caretaker also resides on the premises.

• The majority of the site contains a significant level of vegetation including large trees, shrubs and grass cover. The only area of the site which has been cleared is that area surrounding the existing shed.

1.2 The Proposal The application proposes to reconfigure one lot into 2 and extend the existing bitumen seal on Fisher Road, including a new turnaround area, to service both proposed lots. It is suggested by the applicant that this cul-de-sac can then be extended in future when the dedicated road is formally constructed. The details of the proposal include:

• The creation of a new cul-de-sac extending south-east from Fisher

Road from which both proposed lots will gain access. • Part of the lot to the east of the unsealed road, comprising the majority

of the site, is to form one lot of 8.6ha, while the balance area to the west of the road will be 2.5ha.

The proposed layout is following.



1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Land immediately surrounding the site to the north, south, east and west is generally rural residential in nature, comprising houses on large allotments with significant levels of vegetation. The North Coast Railway Line adjoins the site to the north-east while the Gympie Saleyards is located approximately 600m to the south of the site.



2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Overall Outcomes / Desired Environmental Outcomes The intent of the rural zone is primarily for rural uses, but it also logically allocates land for future urban, rural residential or other purposes. The proposal seeks approval for a one into two lot subdivision on a site which is divided in two by an unformed road which extends south-east from Fisher Road. Leaving aside that the site is not in the designated Urban Area on the Gympie Strategy Map and is identified in the Rural Area, proposing a subdivision less than the minimum lot size provisions under the Planning Scheme, the proposal presents a reasonable and logical extension to existing approved rural residential development in the surrounding area and provides for the partial construction of the proposed extension to Fisher Road. While the land is currently zoned for rural activities, it is located in a buffer area between existing and approved rural residential development to the east and west. Although not explicitly stated in the Scheme, this area is considered suitable for rural residential expansion, necessitated in any case by the identified future road extension through the site. In this sense, the proposal provides an adequate outcome for the land.

Zoning



2.2 Overlays / Natural Hazards / State Planning Policies 2.2.1 Good Quality Agricultural Land The site comprises both Class A and Class B Good Quality Agricultural Land (GQAL). Notwithstanding this, in contemplating the need for expansion of the Gympie Urban Area, Council has to rationalise the need to permit expansion against the knowledge that this would compromise the preservation of some existing conditions, overriding GQAL. As the land immediately surrounding the site has been previously approved for rural residential activities, it is considered that that State Planning Policy 1/92 is addressed and this is consistent with Council’s approach to the assessment of GQAL to date. 2.2.2 Bushfire Hazard The site is identified on Natural Hazard Map NHM1 (Sheet 3) within a Bushfire Hazard Area. The applicant has not formally addressed this issue however, as the site is located in the lower hazard category, a standard condition requiring the preparation of a Bushfire Hazard Management Plan will be imposed as per Council’s standard approach. 2.2.3 Erosion Hazard Different parts of the site are identified in the Very Low, Low and Medium Erosion Hazard Areas as per Natural Hazard Map NHM2 (Sheet 2). This issue has not been formally addressed by the applicant. A standard approval condition requiring the preparation of an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is to be imposed to reduce potential risk associated with erosion. 2.3 Assessment Against Codes

The applicable Codes include the following: - Reconfiguring a Lot Code - Gympie Planning Area Code - Infrastructure Works Code - Landscaping Code

2.3.1 Reconfiguring a Lot Code The proposal has been assessed against the following:



2.3.1.1 Road Design / Network The proposal includes a new cul-de-sac which is to be constructed in the identified, but currently unformed, road corridor which continues south-east from Fisher Road. The cul-de-sac will provide access to both proposed lots and is to be designed so that its future extension can occur. The road network to which the new cul-de-sac is connected provides access to Old Maryborough Road approximately 1.9kms from the subject site. Although road construction is involved, it has no public benefit, so applicable road contribution charges remain relevant. 2.3.1.2 Services The site is not serviced by reticulated water or sewerage supply. On-site water collection and effluent treatment systems are proposed and, given the size of the proposed lots, this is not considered to be an issue. The site has access to electricity and telecommunications infrastructure. 2.3.1.3 Open Space No open space is proposed as part of this subdivision. It is recommended that a condition be included to require a monetary contribution be paid in lieu of parkland contribution as per Council’s Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme Policy 6 Park Contributions. 2.3.1.4 Stormwater No details have been provided, but as the proposal does not involve any new development, there is no formal stormwater drainage in the vicinity and the lots are large and do not permit development other than houses or rural structures, detail stormwater management is not deemed necessary. 2.3.1.5 Lot Sizes The provisions for rural allotments include: - Minimum 100 hectares lot size; and - Minimum road frontage of 100m per allotment. The proposal does not meet the minimum lot size of 100 hectares, which aims to preserve rural lands in viable parcel sizes. The smallest of the proposed lots is 2.5ha and the largest is 8.6ha. To an extent, the proposed lot sizes are consistent with existing and approved development surrounding the site and present a logical expansion to existing rural residential areas.



More to the point though, the site is, for practical purposes, already subdivided by the dedicated road. The proposal basically formalises an existing situation. With respect to road frontage, both proposed lots have 300m frontages to the dedicated road. When constructed as proposed, the lots will have frontage to the cul-de-sac bulb.

2.3.1.6 Natural Features The site comprises a significant amount of vegetation, mostly in the form of medium and large trees, shrubs and grass cover. The site is not identified as containing any natural waterways, natural wetland or wetland protection areas. The site is not mapped as containing any significant regional ecosystems on the EPA’s Regional Ecosystem mapping. The limited amount of clearing involved in creating a house platform, for instance, will not have any significant environmental consequence. 2.3.1.7 Impact on Amenity Accepting that the site is suited to rural residential development, the proposed lot sizes allow for sufficient setbacks from adjoining properties and so permit standards of amenity consistent with a rural residential locality. No amenity concerns are raised by the proposal given the adjoining rural residential development. 2.3.1.8 Energy Efficiency Solar access and access to sunlight and breezes is achieved as both of the proposed lots are of sufficient size and dimensions to allow future dwellings a north-facing orientation. 2.3.1.9 Flood / Landslide / Bushfire The site is well-elevated, falls slightly to the south and is not known to be subject to flooding or landslide. The applicant has not provided any assessment against bushfire hazard. A range of standard conditions for minimising bushfire and erosion hazard risks can be addressed at the building permit stage of the development. 2.3.1.10 Site Contamination The site is not listed on the Environmental Management Register or Contaminated Lands Register.



2.3.2 Infrastructure Works Code

An Operational Works application must be submitted prior to the construction

of any works. Standard approval conditions will also apply.

2.3.3 Landscaping Code Not relevant to the proposed application. 3.0 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION The application is code assessable and did not require public notification. 4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal Report: (Design Department Senior Engineer – A. Laszlo)

Conditions have been provided to be included in any approval. 4.2 External 4.2.1 Referral Agencies The site adjoins the North Coast Railway Line and the application was referred to Queensland Transport. Queensland Transport did not have any concerns regarding the proposal. 5.0 CONCLUSION The application proposes a subdivision of 1 lot into 2. It is relatively consistent with the nature of existing surrounding development and approved development in the locality and formalises an existing practical situation. The application is recommended for approval, subject to conditions detailed in the recommendation and as explained in the report.

Report: (Administration Officer – S.A. Capell) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This application seeks approval for two (2) additional rural residential lots at 144 Kirsten Drive, Curra.



2.0 ASSESSMENT The proposal is Code Assessable and is subject to assessment against the Reconfiguring a Lot Code, Rural Residential Zone Code, Landscape & Buffer Code. Natural Features and Resources Overlay Code and Natural Hazards Overlay Code. The application complies with requirements of the Landscape and Buffer Code, Natural Features and Resources Overlay Code and Natural Hazards Overlay Code and is reported for consideration of non-compliance with the Reconfiguring a Lot Code and Rural Residential Zone Code. Probable Solution (e) (ii) of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code reads: ‘Allotments are not created below the highest recorded flood level or Q100 flood level for the locality, whichever is higher.’; and Probable Solution (b) (ii) reads: ‘Buildings and ancillary structures are constructed with floor levels 300mm above the Q100 flood for the locality.’ The former Tiaro Shire Council issued an information request asking for ‘RPEQ certification that at least 1200m2 of the proposed rear lot is above the local Q100. A Flood Study may be required.’ Martoo Consulting, on behalf of the applicant, provided the following response to Council’s information request: ‘No rear lot is proposed a part of this application. Although a small creek traverses the site in the approximate location of the boundary between proposed lots 1 & 2, the applicant advises that there is a suitably elevated building and effluent disposal area within proposed lot 1, outside those areas which are known to be subject to flooding. Proposed lot 3 is not known to have any such flooding constraints.’ The applicant’s consultant was advised that the information submitted was not considered sufficient to address the information requested by the former Tiaro Shire Council. Subsequently, to support the proposal, the applicant has provided the following letters from residents in the locality: John & Joanne Stoddart – 8 Alloa Court ‘We have lived at the above since the 17th December 1988.



During all that time we have never seen Keith’s property in flood which includes the area opposite his house and the drain. We have witnessed the Mary River flooding every time and it has no impact what so ever on Keith’s property at all or any of this estate as we are on the opposite side of the highway and are well above the flood levels. Only the local rain effects this area.’ David Ashton – 9 Alloa Court ‘My name is David Ashton, I have lived at no. Alloa Court for approx 7½ years, during this time I have witnessed several severe storms but to my knowledge no. 144 Kirsten Drive has never flooded or been under water.’ Judith Grantham – 79 Kirsten Drive ‘I have owned and lived on this property for 8 years and in this time have never been flooded from my own or adjoined properties I am possibly the lowest slab house property in Kirsten drive and have experienced 91mm in 28 minutes at no time was the property threatened by flood waters There is an easement through my property that ends up in Curra Creek overflow this is fed by most of the properties in Kirsten drive and I think is most effective in getting waters away from this area I believe Keith is applying for a subdivision on his land and there are some concerns that it may flood, obviously there are no guarantees in life but to my knowledge (and neighbours that have been here 16 years) I have never witnessed flooding of his property.’ The information provided is not considered sufficient to address the information request, or Probable Solutions and Specific Outcomes of the Planning Scheme. To overcome this issue and allow the applicant to proceed with part of the development, amalgamation of proposed Lots 1 and 2 has been conditioned. Should the applicant wish to seek approval for Proposed Lot 1, the ability to negotiate Council’s decision exists and they may wish to lodge the requested information to support creation of the lot. Alternatively, the applicant may lodge a further application to create proposed Lot 1, at a later date, when Council’s information request has been addressed. Council’s Design Services Division has provided the following report:



Report: (Design Services Technical Officer – A.C. Walsh) The application is to subdivide Lot 52 RP224177, 144 Kirsten Drive, Curra into 3 lots as shown on Plan No. D-00832-01-B submitted by Martoo Consulting. Engineering Comments All engineering issues except for the local flooding on proposed lot 1 can be addressed with standard conditions. The proposal plan shows a gully traversing lot 1. Tiaro Shire issued a request for further information requiring a RPEQ to certify that at least 1200m2 of the lot is above the Q100 for local flooding. This information has not been submitted by the applicant and therefore Council should not approve proposed lot 1 until this information has been submitted. However, lot 3 can be approved with standard conditions. 3.0 CONCLUSION Whilst the development generally complies with requirements of the Planning Scheme, the applicant has not adequately addressed the flooding issue raised by Council to support approval of Proposed Lot 1. Amalgamation of Proposed Lots 1 and 2, will allow the applicant to proceed with the creation of Proposed Lot 3 immediately. Should the applicant wish Council to approve Proposed Lot 1, the ability to lodge representations and provide the information requested by the former Tiaro Shire Council exists. Alternatively, an application to create Proposed Lot 1 may be lodged to Council when potential flooding issues have been addressed, in accordance with the information requested by the former Tiaro Shire Council.

3/4 2008-0872 – Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create 21 Additional Lots –

143 Cootharaba Road, Victory Heights – Cobb FILE NO: Minute: P14/03/09 2008-0872 APPLICANT: Peter and Sharon Cobb LANDOWNER: Sharon Maree Cobb RPD: Lot 4 MPH40511 SITE ADDRESS: 143 Cootharaba Road, Victory Heights PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to

Create 21 Additional Lots EXISTING ZONE: Rural LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT Code SUBMISSIONS: None



KEY POINT SUMMARY

• Application to create 21 additional residential allotments within the Rural zone.

• Proposed Lots are to have an area ranging from 600m2 up to 1444m2. • Application lodged for assessment against the Cooloola Shire Council

Planning Scheme 2005. • Property is zoned Rural and is below the minimum lot size of 100

hectares and frontage requirements of 100 metres, for subdivision within this zone.

• The site is not considered to form a logical extension of the existing Housing zoned areas within the locality at this time and is not supported under the current Planning Scheme.

• Demonstrated need for additional Housing land within the vicinity has not been established.

• The development is located outside of Council’s declared Water and Sewerage Service Areas and does not result in a timely and cost efficient extension to existing reticulated services and infrastructure.

• The creation of small urban lots without the provision of reticulated services is not considered able to be achieved nor desirable.

• Significant parcels of undeveloped land exist within the current Water and Sewerage Service Areas, which have been allocated to allow for the logical and timely expansion of the existing urban area.

• The proposal does not demonstrate adequate community benefit in order to justify further fragmentation of GQAL.

• Significant and costly intersection upgrades are required by the Department of Main Roads in order to facilitate the development.

• Insufficient planning grounds exist in order to support the proposal. • Application recommended for refusal. Report: (Principal Planner – K.M. Toomey) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This application seeks Council’s approval for Reconfiguring a Lot to allow the creation of 21 additional residential allotments on Cootharaba Road, Victory Heights. 1.1 The Site

The development site is located on Cootharaba Road, Victory Heights, approximately 280 metres from its intersection with Lillis Road. The site has an area of 2.305 hectares and is a regular shaped allotment. The land has approximately 240 metres of frontage to Cootharaba Road, which is currently constructed to a double lane bitumen standard and is bordered to the south-east by Deep Creek.



The site is currently improved by a single dwelling house and associated outbuildings, which are proposed to be removed as part of this development. The majority of the site has been cleared previously to facilitate grazing and general rural uses and is classified as containing sections of both Class A and Class B Good Quality Agricultural Land. The remaining vegetation on the site is not mapped as being of significance for conservation purposes although the riparian area serves an important buffer and habitat corridor along Deep Creek. The topography is undulating with varying slopes ranging from approximately 7% across the proposed building areas, up to 65% towards Deep Creek. 1.2 The Proposal The proposal comprises reconfiguring an existing 2.305 hectare Rural zoned allotment to create 21 additional residential lots ranging in size from 600m2 up to 1444m2.



The proposed layout is reproduced below.

1.3 Surrounding Land Use The surrounding land is characterised by small to medium sized rural allotments, ranging in size from 5 194m2 to 16.187 hectares, which are predominately utilised for general rural purposes. The site is approximately 300 metres away from the nearest Housing zoned land.



Zoning Map 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Compliance with the Planning Scheme 2.1.1 Scheme Definition Under the arrangements of the Cooloola Shire Council 2005 Planning Scheme, Reconfiguring a Lot is ‘Code Assessable’ development. 2.1.2 Planning Scheme Provisions The proposed development is assessable against the codes outlined below. Gympie Planning Area Code An Overall Outcome of the Gympie Planning Area Code requires that rural uses are to predominate within the Rural zone. The proposed development does not support the undertaking of a range of rural or agricultural uses.



Whilst it is acknowledged that land within the Rural zone can be retained to allow for future expansion of residential areas, the proposed subdivision is considered to be premature development and is not as yet considered to be a logical extension of the existing Housing zoned land. The proposal is generally able to meet the remainder of the outcomes sought within the Gympie Planning Area Code. Reconfiguring a Lot Code Overall Outcome (i) of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code states that ‘if a new lot or a separate part of a lot is created, the lot or part of the lot is of sufficient size and suitable proportions having regard to: (i) its useability for its intended purpose in accordance with design standards;’ Design provisions for rural allotments include: - Minimum 100 hectare lot size; - Minimum frontage of 100m per allotment; - House sites on slopes no greater than 15%; and - Building envelopes of 2 000m2, above the Q100 flood level and able to

accommodate suitable on-site effluent disposal. The development is unable to meet the minimum lot size of 100 hectares for subdivision in the Rural Zone. It is acknowledged that the development site lot size, at 2.305 hectares, is already below the minimum required, however this alone is not considered to constitute grounds for allowing further subdivision. Specific Outcome 4 states that ‘lots are to be provided with services appropriate for the intended use of the lots’ and Specific Outcome 5 states that ‘for reticulated systems the reconfiguration design provides for the timely, cost efficient provision of services and associated infrastructure’. The development site is located outside of both of Council’s declared Water and Sewerage Service Areas and is not considered to be a logical and cost-effective extension of these services. Sufficient undeveloped Rural zoned land has been allocated within these areas in reserve for expansion of the existing residential area.



Water and Sewerage Service Area Map The proposal is considered to be premature development, and is not a logical extension of the existing Housing zoned area at this stage. Therefore the reconfiguring a lot provisions for the Housing zone, with regard to minimum lot sizes, etc are not considered to be appropriate nor applicable to this site. The proposal is therefore not considered to meet the outcomes sought for the Reconfiguring a Lot Code for subdivision within the Rural zone. Infrastructure Works Code The Infrastructure Works Code requires that water and sewerage infrastructure be provided to meet appropriate standards. The applicant has proposed ‘to make a contribution towards assisting with the cost of providing sewerage and water infrastructure to the subject site’. This is not considered to be appropriate as the cost of servicing the site, for a development such as that proposed, should be wholly borne by the developer. Further, the site has not been included within Council’s declared Water and Service Areas and does not represent a logical extension of existing infrastructure for timely and cost-effective provision of services (refer to Design Services Division report for further details).



The applicant’s consultant also states that ‘should it determined that it is unfeasible for reticulated sewerage and water infrastructure to service the site, each lot is considered adequately sized to contain an adequately sized underground water tank…There are various alternative systems available suitable for disposal of effluent in an urban setting including: Biolytix, NovaClear and other grey and black water treatment systems…Should it be economically unfeasible for sewerage infrastructure to be provided to the site, alternative waste treatment systems are able to be provided in accordance with the QLD Plumbing and Wastewater Code.’ The creation of lots ranging in size from 600m2 up to 1444m2 without access to appropriate reticulated services are not considered to be achievable nor desirable and as a result the proposal is not considered able to comply with the provisions of the Infrastructure Works Code for the Rural zone nor the standards required for small residential allotments. Landscaping Code Street trees are no longer required as part of subdivisions. Resource Areas Code The Resource Area Code is intended to preserve Good Quality Agricultural Land (GQAL) present within rural areas. The development site contains sections of both Class A and Class B GQAL and proposes the creation of urban sized allotments. Therefore the proposal is unable to meet the outcomes sought by the Resource Areas Code. Natural Waterways & Wetland Areas Code The proposal is generally able to comply with all outcomes sought by the Natural Waterways and Wetlands Areas Code. 2.2 Local and/or State Planning Policies Current Council mapping suggests sections of the site contain both Class A and Class B Good Quality Agricultural Land (GQAL) and therefore assessment against State Planning Policy 1/92 Development and the Conservation of Agricultural Land is required. The development proposes the creation of 21 small urban lots, without demonstrating an overriding need in terms of benefit to the community. As a result the overall intent of State Planning Policy 1/92 Development and the Conservation of Agricultural Land is considered to be compromised by the proposal.



State Planning Policy 1/03 Mitigating the Adverse Impacts of Flood, Bushfire and Landslide is considered to be applicable given that part of the site is subject to inundation in a Q100 flood event. The proposal, however, is not considered to compromise the overall intent of the policy, as building envelopes are able to be accommodated above the known flood line. No other State Planning Policies are considered applicable.

3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Appropriateness of the Proposal The proposal does not represent a logical extension of the existing residential area at this stage and is therefore considered to be premature development. The site is located outside of Council’s declared Water and Sewerage Service Area and the proposal does not result in the timely and cost-effective extension of existing services and infrastructure. Significant parcels of undeveloped Rural land exist within the current service area, which have been allocated to allow for the logical and timely expansion of the urban area within this locality. No significant community benefit is able to be demonstrated as resulting from the development, in order to justify the additional fragmentation of Good Quality Agricultural Land at this stage. The creation of additional small residential allotments within the Rural zone, which do not represent a logical and timely extension to existing urban areas and the creation of additional lots of a size that will be unable to be utilised for agricultural purposes, is not supported by the current Planning Scheme. The proposal is therefore considered to be an inappropriate use of the site. 3.2 Impact on Amenity No amenity concerns are raised by the proposal. 3.3 Site Access and Traffic Cootharaba Road is a State-controlled road, constructed to a double lane bitumen standard. The Department of Main Roads has conditioned significant intersection upgrading works to be undertaken in order to facilitate the development. The proposed internal road network would need to comply with relevant Australian Standards and the accepted design standards nominated within Council’s Planning Scheme (refer to Design Services Division report for further details).



3.4 Flooding The site is known to be subject to inundation in a Q100 flood event. Suitable building areas are available above the Q100 flood line, with proposed Lots 13 and 14 to be filled in order to achieve this requirement. 3.5 Vegetation No significant vegetation is mapped as occurring on the site. However, the remaining riparian vegetation provides a valuable buffer and wildlife corridor along Deep Creek. The development proposes to retain the majority of vegetation within this area. 3.6 Site Contamination This site is not listed on the Environmental Management Register. 4.0 CONSULTATION

4.1 Internal

a) Design Department Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – A. Laszlo) This engineering report is based on the information submitted by Martoo Consulting Pty Ltd report dated June 2008. TRAFFIC The 21 additional lots will attract the current contribution per lot towards road improvements of $298/lot i.e. $6,258 in total. This amount would be significantly more under the new policy. LEAD-IN ROAD / FRONTAGE ROAD Cootharaba Road frontage and lead in road is a state controlled road and therefore was referred to Department of Main Roads for assessment. The Department of Main Roads provided conditions to limit the access to one direct access onto Cootharaba Road and the intersection is to be substantially upgraded. INTERNAL ROADS The minimum standard for an Access Street “New Road” as per Council’s Planning Scheme for residential zoning is a 5.5 metre seal with kerb and channel both sides. A turnaround is to be provided at the end of the New Road. Lot 11 and 12 property boundaries will need to be amended to comply with Council’s requirements. A concrete footpath should be constructed however in this instance a contribution $298/lot for a concrete footpath would be more beneficial to be used in the general area.



The minimum standard for an Access Place “New Lane” as per Council’s Planning Scheme for residential zoning is a 3.5 metre seal with kerb and channel both sides. The absolute minimum road reserve for the New Lane is 13.5 metres. Truncations should be provided for Lots 12, 16 and a turnaround should be provided at the end of the New Lane, although this will reduce either lot numbers or proposed lot sizes to less than the minimum residential lot size. STORMWATER DRAINAGE The stormwater from the properties upstream from the development should be captured and managed as per the requirements of the Planning Scheme. Interallotment drainage from the proposed lots will be required to be installed and discharged at a legal point of discharge. FLOODING The development is prone to Q100 flood event as shown on the applicants drawing. The lots have been created to provide a building footprint above the Q100 flood line with filling to occur on Lots 13 and 14. Final designs will dictate the extent of fills and cuts alongside adjoining lands which need to comply with Council's requirements or obtain the permission of any affected property owner. Retaining walls may be required to ensure lot sizes meet Planning area requirements. WATER SUPPLY The site is not within Council’s Water Supply Service area and will require standard Headworks charges and any augmentation costs. Comments: Water Supply & Sewerage General Manager advises “The developer should provide a water reticulation system analysis to confirm sizes for the internal water mains. However, a connection could be made to the proposed subdivision via a 100mm water main along Cootharaba Road. Depending on Council’s determination of future development of this area the main could be upgraded to 150 diameter with Council being responsible for the additional costs (between 100mm and 150mm). The developer will need to consider water main connections to all adjoining lots and future subdivisions.” SEWERAGE The development is outside Council’s Sewerage Headworks and will require standard Headworks charges and any augmentation costs.



Comments: Water Supply & Sewerage General Manager advises “It is unlikely that any of the site could be connected by gravity to the existing sewerage systems. The nearest connection point is the Lillis Road Pump Station. This pump station has limited capacity and will ultimately need to be upgraded (even without connection of this subdivision). It may be possible to relocate the Lillis Road Pump Station to a position near this development and then provide for development of land to the west of Cootharaba Road. This pump station could then service other areas further to the west up to Spring Road. However, at this stage the most appropriate connection point would be the Lillis Road pump station and provision should be made to allow the connection of sewerage to adjacent lots.” The developer will also need to enter into an infrastructure agreement with Council to connect to Council’s existing sewer. OTHER SERVICES Electricity and telecom reticulations will be to the developer's cost. Street lighting will be required as per Council's standards. MISCELLANEOUS Main Roads Department as a Concurrence Agency assessed the application. All Department of Main Roads conditions to apply as outlined. There are significant engineering issues that could preclude this development from proceeding including required revision of the proposed lot layout and the relatively high costs to overcome the aforementioned engineering issues pertaining to provision of appropriate services and infrastructure. 4.2 External a) Department of Main Roads The application required referral to the Department of Main Roads as a concurrence agency, given that the site fronts a State-Controlled Road. The department has provided conditions for inclusion in any approval that may be granted by Council, including substantial intersection upgrading and limiting the development to a single access point from Cootharaba Road. b) Public Notification Given that the application is ‘Code Assessable’, public notification was not required to be undertaken. No other submissions were received.



5.0 CONCLUSION The proposed development sets out to create 21 additional residential allotments within the Rural zone, in the locality of Victory Heights. The proposed subdivision does not represent a logical extension of the existing Housing zone and is considered to be premature development. The subject site is outside of Council’s declared Water and Sewerage Service Areas and is not considered to represent a logical, timely and cost effective extension to the existing service area at this stage. Significant intersection upgrading is required by the Department of Main Roads in order to facilitate the development as is a redesign of the existing proposed layout in order to achieve adequate internal road design. No significant community benefit is likely to be achieved as a result of the development in order to warrant the further fragmentation of Good Quality Agricultural Land in this locality and adequate planning grounds do not exist in order to support the proposal. Therefore with due consideration for the abovementioned information and non-compliance with the provisions of the current Planning Scheme, the application is recommended for refusal.

Carried. 5/3 Planning and Development Industry Information Night

Report: (Councillor I.T. Petersen 26 February 2009) At a recent meeting with some developers, the suggestion was put forward for an information night for developers, consultants, builders, surveyors, and the public in general. As we have been contemplating this concept for some time, the enthusiasm of these clients and their expressed intention to support and promote such a function, would indicate that there could be considerable value in Council progressing the idea. Outcomes: It is envisaged that the seminar would be an opportunity to explain some of the intricacies of IPA, the Planning Scheme, and the application process from Council’s point of view, and also to receive feedback from the development industry on problems and possible solutions. An information night would also be an opportunity to discuss progress towards a new GRC Planning Scheme and encourage community participation in the consultation phase. Funding implications. The event would have minor budgetary implications in (1) forgoing rent on the venue (Civic Centre or Pavilion) and (2) presumably < $500 for a light supper.

P19/03/09 Moved: Cr G.L. Engeman Seconded: Cr D.R. Neilson

Recommend that Council authorize the Director of Planning and Development to arrange a Planning and Development Industry Information Night as soon as convenient.

Carried.
