1/1 Wide Bay Burnett Regional Recreation and Sport Strategy

Re: Minute: P21/04/09 & P22/04/09 Wide Bay Burnett Regional Recreation and Sport Strategy

From: Manager Strategic Planning File: 5/3/15/0001 Date: 6 April, 2009 Report: (Manager Strategic Planning – K.A. Rolfe) 1.0 PROJECT AIMS AND OBJECTIVES “To develop a framework for coordinating state and local government, private industry and community organisation efforts to deliver and manage regional recreation and sport activity areas.” • Providing outdoor recreation and sport facilities and services in line with

settlement patterns; • Avoiding duplication across Local Government boundaries; • Recognizing the economic benefits of recreation opportunities e.g. walking

and cycling trails, mountain bike & 4 wheel driving trails, tourism related recreation;

• Preventing existing recreation opportunities being encroached upon by urban development; and

• Maximizing existing sport and recreation opportunities. 2.0 INCEPTION MEETING The Department of Infrastructure and Planning (DIP) through WBBROC is undertaking this regional planning project. R.O.S.S. Planning is the consultancy firm preparing the study. Each Council is contributing towards the cost of the study (GRC $4000.00). The first Steering Committee meeting was held in Gympie on 2nd April. A combined presentation by DIP and R.O.S.S. Planning was given. 3.0 PROCESS • Stage One — Draft Regional Recreation and Sport Infrastructure Audit and

Literature Review Report



This stage will incorporate meetings with member Councils. • Stage Two — Final Regional Recreation and Sport Infrastructure Audit and

Preliminary Capacity Review

• Population Analysis – 20 year analysis – where is the growth, hence need (This will be related back to the other work being undertaken by the Department of Infrastructure and Development in determining Alternative Patterns of Development for the Region in preparation for a Statutory Regional Plan.)

• Review of Regional Provision – are there differences across the study area in focus?

• Workshop – need to agree a range of standards/ rates of provision – land acquisition standards

• Supply and Demand Assessment • Gap Analysis • Identification of Land Acquisition Options

• Stage Three — Draft Regional Recreation and Sport Strategy

• Draft Regional Recreation and Sport Strategy – Peak Bodies

• broad consultation with peak bodies – Council’s and Government Departments

• review exercise with all Councils • review by relevant government departments

– Noisy Sports Protection – Economic and Health Benefits of Sport and Recreation

• Stage Four — Final Strategy and Action Plan Report 4.0 TIMEFRAMES • Stage 1 – 30 May 2009 • Stage 2 – 30 June 2009 • Stage 3 – 31 August 2009 • Stage 4 – 16 October 2009

The consultants indicated there was a need for a rapid turn around of draft documents (two days). Given the upcoming influx of reports expected from GHD in relation to the Planning Study I indicated that this was going to prove extremely difficult.



There is a need to have a proxy Steering Committee member so that workload on this project can be shared. Council’s interests need to be represented fairly in the project outcomes. 5.0 PROTOCOLS Any media releases or comments are to be facilitated through WBBROC.

P21/04/09 Moved: Cr A.J. Perrett Seconded: Cr R.A. Gâté Recommend that Council appoints the Chairman of the Sport Recreation and Parks Coordinating Committee as the proxy for the Manager Strategic Planning as the Gympie Regional Council’s Wide Bay Burnett Regional Recreation and Sport Strategy Steering Committee member.

Carried.

P22/04/09 Moved: Cr J. Watt Seconded: Cr R.A. Gâté Recommend that Council request an extension of timeframes for the

project. Carried.

Mrs K.A. Rolfe left the meeting at 9.09 a.m. Ms T.M. Stenholm entered the meeting at 9.09 a.m.



Cr I.T. Petersen declared a Conflict of Interest in the next item due to commercial reasons but did not leave the meeting.

SECTION 2: PLANNING APPLICATIONS

2/1 DA15779 – Representations for Development Permit for Material Change of Use – Commercial Premises (Medical Centre), Shop (Pharmacy) and Food or Entertainment Venue (Café) – Lot 2 RP77034 and Lot 1 RP46441, 70 and 72 Channon Street and 7 Queen Street – Duskmay Pty Ltd Re: Minute: P23/04/09 Representations for Development Permit for

Material Change of Use – Commercial Premises (Medical Centre), Shop (Pharmacy) and Food or Entertainment Venue (Café)

From: Duskmay Pty Ltd c/- Martoo Consulting File: DA15779 Date: 13 November 2008

Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 INTRODUCTION Development approval for material change of use for a medical centre, pharmacy and café was approved by Council on 24 September 2008.

















The applicant suspended their appeal period on 2 October 2008 and lodged representations in relation to some of the conditions on 13 November 2008. The conditions requested to be reconsidered are outlined below.



2.0 REPRESENTATIONS Representations are submitted in relation to: - footpath contribution;

- street lighting contribution;

- fencing requirements;

- proposed refuse storage area;

- roadworks;

- stormwater drainage;

- car parking;

- landscaping; and

- limitations placed on maximum gross floor areas for each approved use.

3.0 ASSESSMENT 3.1 Condition 1.2 (a) Condition 1.2 reads: ‘A contribution is to be paid to Council towards the provision of a footpath along the Queen Street frontage of the site. The amount is currently assessed at $1 944, however will be indexed every 12 months from the date of this decision notice in accordance with ABS ANZSIC Index Class 4121.’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘The applicant is prepared to undertake these works as part of the development of the site. Requested Response to Condition 1.9(sic): That condition 1.9 be amended to require the footpath construction to be specific works required to be undertaken at no cost to Council.’ (c) Assessment



Planning Scheme Policy 9: Footpath and Cycleway Contributions grants Council the ability to either: (a) require the carrying out of footpath/cycleway works by an applicant; or (b) require a monetary contribution towards the provision of

footpaths/cycleways in the general area; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b), as part of a development approval. The infrastructure [ie option (a) above] should be provided in accordance with an overall network plan or in circumstances to increase accessibility and connectivity, maintain pedestrian or cyclist safety and facilitate pedestrian movement in pedestrian dominated environments. A pathway along the Queen Street frontage is not identified in Council’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, nor would a pathway achieve any of the purposes identified in the former paragraph. On this basis, a contribution towards pathways in the general area is considered more appropriate. It is recommended that condition 1.2 remain. Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – A. Laszlo) There is no proposal to build a footpath for the entire length of Queen Street in the near future. Therefore the preferred option is not to build footpaths in isolation as in this instance and for the developer to provide a contribution instead. 3.2 Conditions 1.3 and 1.4 (a) Conditions 1.3 and 1.4 read: ‘1.3 In accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 11: Roadworks

Contributions a contribution is to be paid toward road improvements as a result of the increased traffic generated by this development. The amount is currently assessed at $67 348, however will be indexed every 12 months from the date of this decision notice in accordance with ABS ANZSIC Index Class 4121.

1.4 A contribution of $5 000 is to be paid to Council towards the provision of

street lighting in the vicinity of the site.’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘The applicant requests that these conditions be amended to provide he(sic) basis of current calculations such as provided by Council in conditions 1.5 and 1.6 so as to assist any future recalculation of this condition.’



(c) Assessment As outlined in the engineering report below, the road contribution was based on the submitted traffic generation estimate. Condition 1.3 could be reworded to acknowledge the amount is based on 226 trips peak hour (including credits for the existing uses). Future recalculation of the contribution is built into the condition, by applying ABS ANZSIC indexation. Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – A.Laszlo) The applicant submitted traffic generation rate of 13 trips for every 100m2 GFA and the proposed building area of 1761m2 which equated to 226 trips peak hour including credits for the existing use. Therefore the contribution of $67,348 (ie. 226 x 298 as per Council’s fees and charges 2008/09) is justified. Due to the increase in road classification from the increased traffic generation from the proposed development an inspection of the existing lighting was conducted along Louisa Street, Queen Street and Lawrence Street, it was considered reasonable that six additional lights were required at a cost of $750 each and for the removal of two sub standard lights at $250 each. Condition 1.4 could be amended to reflect this. 3.3 Condition 1.9 (a) Condition 1.9 reads: ‘A 2.0 metre high solid fence is to be installed along all common boundaries between the development site and existing residential properties fronting Queen Street.’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘It should be noted that there is an existing fence in good condition along the boundary with the existing private hospital. It is acknowledged that this fence does not separate the proposal from residential properties. This fence is not 2.0M high but would seem to be adequate given the nature of the two uses. This condition could therefore be amended to confirm the suitability of the existing fence to assit(sic) in clarification.’



(c) Assessment It would seem unnecessary to confirm that the existing private hospital is not a residential property, however given the applicant’s request the condition could be amended. 3.4 Conditions 1.14 and 2.10 (a) Conditions 1.14 and 2.10 read: ‘1.14 The following items are to be provided in accordance with the

Environmental Protection (Waste Management) Regulation 2000: (i) approved refuse containers (for general waste); (ii) a centralised refuse storage enclosure comprising an imperviously

paved area provided with a hose cock and hose; and (iii) drainage designed to prevent stormwater entering Council’s sewer. 2.10 The internal driveway is to be constructed in a manner to provide

suitable access for a refuse collection vehicle to the satisfaction of Council’s Chief Executive Officer.’

(b) Applicant’s representations: ‘A centralized refuse storage area is shown on the proposed Basement Plan at the bottom of the vehicular ramp from Channon Street, and close to stairs and lift from upper levels. It was the applicant’s intention that the collected refuse be wheeled to the Queen Street frontage where the refuse collection vehicle would collect it. The applicant does not believe that it is practical for the RCV to use the internal driveway to gain access to the refuse area. Requested Response to Condition 1.14 and 2.10: That condition 1.14 be amended to approve the proposed refuse storage area and condition 2.10 be deleted.’ (c) Assessment Under Council’s Rating Policy the proposed development will require a minimum of 16 bins (ie 8 General Waste and 8 Recycling). It is not considered desirable to have the required bins wheeled and lining the footpath area of Queen Street given its residential nature. However, this issue should have been further investigated and confirmed prior to the approving the development.



This issue is becoming more common with the receipt of larger commercial and residential developments and may highlight the need for Council to develop a Policy or planning scheme provisions indicating at what level, commercial/industrial bins need to be provided. As the building has been approved it is not possible to accommodate manoeuvring for a refuse collection on-site therefore it is recommended the proposed refuse arrangements be accepted. In this regard, condition 1.14 does not need to be amended, however a note may be added that the bin area shown in the basement car park is acceptable. Condition 2.10 may be deleted. 3.5 Condition 2.1 (a) Condition 2.1 reads: ‘The existing road is to be upgraded to a standard compatible with the proposed development. Council requires the following works to be carried out on Channon Street: (a) realign kerb and channel, footpath and existing parking lane to Council

standard crossfall requirements.’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘There is a concern that this condition does not accurately detail the nature and extent of specific road works required. The applicant requests that such works are limited the(sic) frontage of the subject site and on that side of Channon Street abutting the subject site.’ (c) Assessment Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – A.Laszlo) The condition refers to the full frontage of the development site. However the works will need to taper into the existing road profile in the adjacent property frontages. Therefore amend Condition 2.1 to read:- ‘The existing road is to be upgraded to a standard compatible with the proposed development. Council requires the following works to be carried out on Channon Street: (a) realign kerb and channel, footpath and existing parking lane to Council

standard crossfall requirements along the full frontage to the site on the northern side of Channon Street plus tapers beyond the frontage to the existing surfaces.’



3.6 Condition 2.3 (a) Condition 2.3 reads: ‘Upgradings of Queen Street and its intersections with Louisa Street, Alfred Street and Lawrence Street are required. In this regard, a road safety audit is required to be undertaken by a qualified road safety auditor of the Queen Street intersections with Lawrence, Louisa, Alfred and Queen Street itself and submitted to Council for endorsement. Any works identified as being necessary to facilitate the development are to be carried out by the developer at no cost to Council.’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘There is a concern that this condition assumes that upgradings are necessary for both intersections with having the benefit of the road safety audit. The condition should be amended to require those intersection upgradings identified as being necessary to facilitate the development in the road safety audit. Requested Response to Condition 2.3: That condition 2.3 be amended to require any intersection upgradings identified as being necessary to facilitate the development in the road safety audit.’ (c) Assessment Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – A.Laszlo) Amend condition 2.3 to read: ‘A road safety audit is required to be undertaken by a qualified road safety auditor of Queen Street intersections with Lawrence Street, Louisa Street, Alfred Street and Queen Street itself and submitted to Council for assessment and endorsement. Any recommendations of upgrading of Queen Street and its intersections with Louisa Street, Alfred Street and Lawrence Street identified as being necessary to facilitate the development are to be carried out by the developer at no cost to Council.’ 3.7 Condition 2.5 (a) Condition 2.5 reads: ‘A master stormwater drainage plan is to be prepared to address the impact of the proposed development on the existing stormwater drainage in the area, including upstream and downstream of the site.’ (b) Applicant’s representations:



‘The applicant has intended to incorporate an on-site detention tank for collection of rainwater. This would double as storage for re-cycling of rainwater into irrigation and toilet flushing. The applicant therefore assume(sic) that impact of the new development on existing drainage would not be an issue since the stormwater design would be based on no increase in peak flows above what currently occurs for certain storm events. However this would need to be confirmed by a RPEQ being a civil engineering consultant. The applicant does not want this condition to limit or otherwise complicate the above intent. Requested Response to Condition 2.5: That condition 2.5 be amended to allow for the above intention’ (c) Assessment Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – A.Laszlo) The developer has put forward an option of providing an on-site detention system for the collection of rainwater. This option can be outlined in the required master stormwater drainage plan. Over flows from the proposed stormwater detention and the Q100 overland flow paths through the development will need to be considered in the stormwater master drainage plan. Condition 2.5 to remain. 3.8 Condition 2.7 (a) Condition 2.7 reads: ‘Roof and surface water is to be collected on site and is to be discharged through an underground drain line within the development site and piped to the existing underground stormwater infrastructure in Louisa Street and the downstream drainage upgraded to meet the increased discharge. Note: Council may require a contribution towards upgrading the downstream drainage in lieu of actual upgrading in conjunction with upgrading the Queen Street, Louisa Street, Alfred Street intersection’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘The applicant has intended to incorporate an on-site detention tank for collection of rainwater as referenced in the response to condition 2.5. There is a concern that the Council requires upgrading of downstream drainage from Louisa Street. Any upgrading should be limited to the need to accommodate any increased discharge from the subject site only as a resulted(sic) of the approved development and not other external sites/catchments.



Requested Response to Condition 2.7: That condition 2.7 be amended to confirm that such any(sic) upgrading should be limited to the need to accommodate any increased discharge from the subject site only as a resulted(sic) of the approved development and not other external sites/catchments.’ (c) Assessment Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – A.Laszlo) Previous comments made in relation to condition 2.5 are applicable. Condition 2.7 to remain. 3.9 Condition 2.9 (a) Condition 2.9 reads: ‘A minimum of 80 car parking spaces are to be provided for the development, including a minimum four (4) accessible parking bays complying with the requirements of AS2890.1 and one (1) ambulance bay.’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘The proposal plans show three disabled parking bays, not four as stated in this condition site(sic). Requested Response to Condition 2.9: That condition 2.9 be amended to require a minimum of three accessible parking bays.’ (c) Assessment The requirement under AS2890.1 is for 3-4% of parking spaces to be accessible (ie allocated for people with a disability). Given 80 spaces are to be provided, three (3) will be sufficient to comply with the standard. 3.10 Condition 2.13 (a) Condition 2.13 reads: ‘Landscaping is to be provided for the development as following: (i) minimum 2.0 metres averaging 3.0 metres along the Channon and Queen

street frontages of the site; and



(ii) a minimum one (1) metre wide landscaped buffer along the length of the eastern and western boundaries, planted with species that grow to a minimum of three (3) metres high.’

(b) Applicant’s representations: ‘Condition 2.13(i) There is some concern that Council reference to “landscaping” is to softscaping not hardscaping such a(sic) paving. The applicant requests that the condition be amended to clarify this aspect. For example, the proposal plans shown(sic) a one (1) metre wide softscaping strip along the Channon Street frontage between the road boundary and the proposed internal driveway. It should also be noted that below this area is the basement carpark (with a concrete lid over it) which extends to the Channon Street boundary. There is a similar one (1) wide strip of planting proposed along the Queen Street frontage between the proposed paved carpark and the road boundary. Condition 2.13(ii) This requirement is achievable on the western boundary of the subject site but only partially so on the eastern boundary. The basement carpark extends to the eastern boundary along the higher part of the block. This area would be covered by a concrete slab and paved as an external terrace to the tenancies noting that this part of the site adjoins the private hospital and so is probably not as critical as those parts of the site that adjoin residential uses. Requested Response to Condition 2.13: That condition 2.13 be amended to allow the development to be undertaken in accordance with the proposal plans.’ (c) Assessment Landscaping as defined in Planning Scheme Policy 4 means: ‘the treatment of premises for the purposes of enhancing or protecting the amenity of a site and the surrounding locality by: (a) screening by fences, walls or other means; (b) planting of trees, hedges, shrubs and grass; (c) formation of banks, terraces or other alterations to the land form; (d) laying out of gardens or courts; (e) installation of other amenity features, including hardscape elements of

seats, rubbish bins, bollards, shade structures, lighting and playgrounds.



The term excludes any form of paving for vehicular driveways, parking areas, access lanes and the like.’ Concept landscaping plans were submitted with the application but not included in the set of approved plans. (copy below).







Minimal landscaping is shown along both Channon and Queen Street frontages, but given the position of the building has been approved any additional landscaping required would necessitate a redesign of the building.



Part (i) of the condition should be amended to require only a one (1) wide landscaped strip as requested, however it should be noted that decorative pavement is to be incorporated into the frontage as shown on the Dimond Architects plan. 3.11 Condition 3.1 (a) Condition 3.1 reads: ‘The development shall be generally in accordance with the following approved plans submitted with the application:

Reference Number Drawn by Date AO1B Neylan Group 12.02.2008 AO2B Neylan Group 12.02.2008 AO3A Neylan Group 13.12.2007 AO4B Neylan Group 12.02.2008 AO5A Neylan Group 13.12.2007 AO6A Neylan Group 13.12.2007 AO7A Neylan Group 13.12.2007 AO8A Neylan Group 13.12.2007

including the following maximum gross floor areas: Commercial premises 1 361m2 gfa Shop 250m2 gfa Food or entertainment venue 150m2 gfa.’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘These floor areas are those taken from the proposal plans and are not gross floor areas as there are tenancy areas or net lettable areas as commonly used by architects in preparing such plans. Requested Response to Condition 3.1: That condition 3.1 be amended to refer to the areas shown as net lettable areas or alternatively provide a basis for determining gfa for each use in a mixed use development with areas not less than those shown on the proposal plan.’ (c) Assessment Gross floor area, as defined by the planning scheme ‘means the total floor area of all storeys of the building measured from the outside of the external walls or the centre of a common wall, but does not include area used for accommodating building services, a public lobby within the ground storey, or areas used for the parking , loading or unloading, or manoeuvring of vehicles.’



This being the case, it is considered reasonable that areas of the development, to be utilised by all uses are excluded from the calculation and include the lift space, stairwells, restrooms and the pedestrian mall area. There is not considered to be a great difference in the gfa and the available lettable area for the development therefore it is considered reasonable to refer to the maximum areas for each approved use as being the maximum lettable area.

No conflicts with the outcomes sought by the Gympie Planning Area Code.

Reconfiguring a Lot Code Specific Outcome 4 of the Reconfiguration a Lot Code requires that ‘Lots are provided with services appropriate for the intended use of the lots.’ Table 8:1 Standards for the Provision of Works in Planning Scheme Policy 8: Infrastructure Works requires the following for reconfiguring a lot development within the Rural Zone:

- Road pavement, - Road drainage, - Vehicle crossings over footway.

Buranda Road is currently a gravel road which extends off Widgee Crossing Road. Access to Lot 30 is currently a grassed area extending from Fleming Road. It has been proposed that access to proposed lot 30 will be gained via a driveway at the end of the road formation, as demonstrated on the plan. The current proposal does not comply with Council’s standard approach as it is not from a Council maintained road. The proposal is a boundary realignment with no additional lots proposed, and entitlements now exist to construct a dwelling on Lot 30. The proposal however is seeking to create a more suitable building area on this lot above Q100 flooding and is therefore likely increasing its prospects of being used for residential purposes.

Should the application be approved construction of a sealed driveway to Lot 30 within the road reserve should be required given it is located close to the existing dwelling on lot 28. Specific Outcome 12 of the Reconfiguration a Lot Code requires that ‘each lot, separate part of a lot or access easement: a. is of sufficient size and suitable proportions to be able to be capable of

being used for its intended purpose; and,



b. is not less than the minimum area and dimensions indicated in Schedule

Table 12 minimum Lot Areas, Dimensions and Frontages for the zone in which the lot is located except where no greater number of lots is created, and a lesser and reasonable size is warranted due to pre-existing lot size, …,’

Schedule Table 12 Minimum Lot Areas, Dimensions and frontages requires: - Minimum 100 hectares lot size; and - Minimum frontage of 100m per allotment. The proposed development does not meet the minimum lot size of 100 hectares for each lot due to existing boundaries in place. The surrounding area consists of a number of fragmented rural allotments including the parcels immediately to the south of the site. As these are existing lots and the change in area for Lot 30 is not great, sufficient planning grounds are considered to warrant a relaxation of this standard.

Infrastructure Works Code Any upgrading required should be in accordance with the Code and can be conditioned accordingly. Landscaping Code Street trees are not required as part of boundary realignments in the Rural Zone. Resource Areas Code The Resource Area Code is intended to preserve Good Quality Agricultural Land (GQAL) present within rural areas. The development site contains large sections of both Class A and Class B GQAL in the allotment, however given the lot areas are not changing significantly the Code is not considered compromised by the proposal. Natural Waterways & Wetland Areas Code The Natural Waterways & Wetland Areas Code is intended to preserve natural wetland areas and protect wetland area’s ecological values and environmental functions within rural areas. The development site contains a natural waterway in both of the allotments. However, this is not considered to be a significant issue in this application as the boundary realignment aims to preserve this area. Any development is away from the natural waterways and wetlands areas.

3.0 OTHER PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Impact on Amenity No amenity concerns are raised by the proposal given the adjoining rural allotments.



3.2 Site access and Traffic Site access and traffic conditions have been previously discussed. 3.3 Flooding Lot 30 has been identified as being affected by flooding. An area of 3 778m2 on Lot 30 has been identified above the Q100 floodline. 3.4 Vegetation The site has been generally cleared in the past for grazing operations with only sparse vegetation retained within each Lot. There is no mapped remnant vegetation on the site as evidenced by the Regional Ecosystem Mapping. 3.5 Site Contamination The site is not known nor suspected to be contaminated. The site does not appear to have been used for a notifiable activity under the Environmental Protection Act 1994. 3.6 Services Electricity and telecommunications are available to the site.

4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal a) Design Department Report: (General Manager Design Services Division – R. Chapman)

This report is based on the information submitted by the applicant’s consultant Max Watterson and Associate as per Proposal Plan 07-2387AC. TRAFFIC No additional lots are created and although the lands are outside of but adjacent to the rural residential roads contribution area 6, no road contribution is applicable in the strict sense.



ROAD ACCESS Burunda Road is currently on Council’s Road register as an unmaintained road. It is off Widgee Crossing Road which is unsealed for 450 metres from Glastonbury Road. Recently, Burunda Road has been upgraded by unknown persons to a reasonable standard for 230 metres but has not been subject to a detailed inspection to confirm if it meets Council’s standard. For example, the culvert at the start of the road is obviously too high, probably too small and is likely to cause a scour along Widgee Crossing Road in time. As it is now, the existing Lot 26 on W3761 of 64,500 m2 does not have constructed access for 240 metres before reaching the unapproved but constructed Buranda Road. The proposed Lot 30 of 33,620 m2 would be closer to the constructed section but still 170 metres distant. The application states that Lot 30 will be enhanced as a rural living block as it is smaller and has been designed to have an area above the Q100 flood line which Lot 26 currently does not have. If it is therefore intended as a residential lot, then constructed access should be required. However, the site is of a lesser area than allowed in the rural zone and if it were to be included in the Rural residential zone it is a requirement that it be assessed by a sealed road. Any extension of the constructed road will have to negotiate several power poles including a major transformer pole located in the current line of the road. The proposal plan does not clearly show the locations of these poles or other building encroachments in the road reserve. The 2005 aerial photos show a building and yards in the road reserve which appears to have now been removed. FLOODING The site is subject to Q100 floods with the existing Lot 26 completely inundated even in a Q40 event. The proposed boundary change would result in an area of approximately 3,800 m2 above the Q100 flood line for proposed lot 30. The balance lot would have an area of approximately 20,000 m2 above the Q100 flood line. EFFLUENT DISPOSAL A geotechnical report has not been required with both lots having adequate areas available for effluent disposal. SERVICES Both electricity and telecom services are available in the area with connections required to each lot. Wayleave/easements may be required by the electrical authority.



4.2 External a) Energex The application required referral to Energex as an Advice Agency given the existence of power easements through the site. Energex offered no objection to the proposal subject to conditions relating to construction within and clearance from the easement. A copy of Energex’s advice will be sent to the applicant with the decision notice. 5.0 CONCLUSION The development proposes to realign the boundary of two (2) existing rural lots. The existing and proposed access arrangements result in traffic from the lots traversing pavement constructed within the road reserve but that is not approved by Council and not likely meeting Council standards. Council’s direction is sought in relation to the access issues, bearing in mind that the development does not propose any additional entitlements to that existing and it can be conditioned to provide formed access as required by the planning scheme.

Realignment to merge part of Lot 2 with Lot 1 and create two separate parts to Lot 2.

PLANNING SCHEME: Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme 2005

EXISTING ZONE: Rural LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code Assessable



KEY POINT SUMMARY • Application for Reconfiguring a Lot – Boundary Realignment to transfer

part of existing Lot 2 to Lot 1, to result in a total site area of 12.32 hectares for Lot 1 and 2.05 hectares for Lot 2 (Part A 1.4 hectares and Part B 0.65 hectares), within the Rural Zone.

• Application lodged for assessment against Cooloola Shire Council’s Planning Scheme 2005.

• The boundary realignment is to be undertaken in order to facilitate a proposed residential subdivision (2008-1073) and proposes to retain Lot 1 in a larger single parcel and Lot 2 in two (2) Part Lots, A & B.

• Part Lots are acceptable for registration by the Titles Office, however DNRW advises that “the extent of the physical separation of the part lots should be limited to where the part lots can be effectively and efficiently used as a single lot. …where the separation of the part lots exceeds this limit the part lots should be identified as separate lots”.

• Proposed Part Lot A and B are not considered to be able to be effectively and efficiently utilised as a single allotment and would likely result in ongoing maintenance issues.

• Creation of two (2) part lots separated by an unrelated allotment is considered to result in an undesirable outcome and would be better subdivided into two (2) separate allotments.

• Recommend that Council advise the applicant that while the boundary realignment is supported, an amended application is required to be submitted in order to result in two (2) separate allotments being created, in lieu of the two (2) Part Lots as currently proposed.



Report: (Craven Ovenden Town Planning and Principal Planner –

K.M. Toomey) 1.0 Introduction This application seeks Council’s approval for Reconfiguring a Lot – Boundary Alteration to transfer a large area of Lot 2 to Lot 1 to allow for future residential development, while Lot 2 will be divided into two parts, separated by another, unrelated, allotment. 1.1 Site Description

• The site is located at 43 Hamilton Road and 196 Old Maryborough Road, Araluen, approximately 3 kilometres from Stewart Terrace and approximately 5 kilometres north-west of Gympie by road.

• Existing Lot 1 has a frontage to Old Maryborough Road measuring 202 metres. The Hamilton Road frontage (Lot 2) is divided in two by an unrelated allotment. The total frontage to Hamilton Road measures 294.9 metres.

• The site is improved by a large shed toward the north-western corner. A sizable dam is also located at the north-western corner the site.

• A large area of the site has been previously cleared for grazing purposes however, several pockets of significant vegetation remain.

• The land falls approximately 15m to the south-western corner of Lot 2. • Lot 1 currently has a site area of 9.345 hectares and Lot 2 currently has

a site area of 5.026 hectares. 1.2 The Proposal The application proposes a boundary realignment to facilitate separate ownership of the majority of the existing Lot 2 which is to be merged with Lot 1 to continue an existing urban residential development (Fairview Park). Lot 2 is to be divided into two parts, separated by an existing and unrelated allotment. The details of the proposal include:

• Part of existing Lot 2 is to be transferred to Lot 1, to result in a total site

area of 12.32 hectares for Lot 1 and 2.05 hectares for Lot 2 (Part A 1.4ha and Part B 6 500m2).

• Retention of the existing shed and dam on proposed Part B of Lot 2.



The proposal plan is reproduced below.

The applicant has also made a concurrent application (2008-1073) over the proposed enlarged Lot 1 to create an additional 24 standard residential allotments.



This application is reported following. 1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Land immediately surrounding the site to the north, south, east and west is generally rural residential in nature. A small urban residential subdivision has been recently established adjoining the site to the west and a larger urban subdivision is to be developed to the south of the site, part of which is to be supplemented by this proposal. 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 to excise part of existing Lot 2 to Lot 1 to the south to increase the amount of land available for future urban residential development. It is intended that part of Lot 2 will be transferred to Lot 1 to increase the size of Lot 1. This application is being assessed concurrently with DA 2008-1073 which proposes an expansion of an approved urban residential subdivision, on that land which is to be excised from Lot 2 by this application. Leaving aside that the site is not in the designated urban area, the implications of which are discussed in the report on DA 2008-1073, when considered simultaneously, the proposal presents a reasonable and logical extension to existing urban development to the south. When considered on its own, the application presents a satisfactory outcome with regards to the realignment of the boundary. However, the creation of two (2) part lots separated by an unrelated allotment is considered to result in an undesirable outcome and would be better subdivided into two (2) separate allotments. Whilst part lots are permitted for registration by the Registrar of Titles, the Department of Natural Resources and Water advises that “the extent of the physical separation of the part lots should be limited to where the part lots can be effectively and efficiently used as a single lot. …where the separation of the part lots exceeds this limit the part lots should be identified as separate lots”.



2.2 Overlays / Natural Hazards / State Planning Policies 2.2.1 Good Quality Agricultural Land The site is identified on Overlay Map OM8 (Sheet 1) as comprising 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 adjoining the site to the south and east has been approved for urban and rural residential activities and there is evidence of need for urban land beyond the current urban boundaries, it is considered 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 and clearing will ensue as a result of the subdivision, no issues relating to bushfire hazard are considered to exist. 2.3 Assessment Against Codes

The applicable Codes include the following:

- Reconfiguring a Lot Code - Gympie Planning Area Code - Infrastructure Works Code - Landscaping Code - Conservation Significant Areas Code

2.3.1 Reconfiguring a Lot Code The proposal has been assessed against the following: 2.3.1.1 Road Design / Network No change to the existing road network is proposed. Both Parts A and B will continue to gain access directly from Hamilton Road. That portion of the site excised to Lot 1 will gain access though a new road linking it with the remainder of the urban subdivision to the south.



2.3.1.2 Services The site is currently serviced by reticulated water supply. Although a Geotechnical Report has not been submitted with the application, both proposed parts of Lot 2 are of a size to suitably accommodate on-site effluent treatment areas, should the lots be created as separate titles and a house be established. The site has access to electricity and telecommunications infrastructure. 2.3.1.3 Open Space No open space is proposed as part of this boundary realignment. As the proposal does not increase the number of lots, but rather divides Lot 2 into two parts, no contribution towards the provision and maintenance of open space is required. However, given that proposed Part A and B of Lot 2 are considered to achieve a better outcome as two (2) separate allotments, a contribution towards the improvement of existing public parks in the general area would be applicable, should the proposal be amended. 2.3.1.4 Stormwater No changes to the existing situation are proposed. Stormwater runoff will continue to be collected by on-site water tanks and drained into the existing dam on Lot 2. 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. However, Lot 2 currently measures 5.02 hectares, well under the minimum lot size requirements in the Planning Scheme, and the proposal does not overall, reduce the viability of either allotment. In this respect, and with regard to the nature of existing and approved development surrounding the site, the proposed boundary realignment is not likely to result in any significant impact on the rural values of the area, nor would an amended proposal resulting in Part A and B of Lot 2 being created as separate allotments.



The existing road frontage of the site measures 294.9m which is divided into two sections, both fronting Hamilton Road. The first section is the frontage of proposed Part A, measuring 128.9m, while the second is the frontage of proposed Part B which measures 166m. The proposed subdivision does not alter the existing situation in terms of road frontage as that part of the site which is proposed to be excised to Lot 1 does not have a road frontage. However Part A and Part B of proposed Lot 2 should be subdivided into two (2) separate allotments and as a result an additional allotment would front Hamilton Road. Both lots would exceed 6 000m2 in size and would exceed the minimum required frontage of 50 metres for ‘rural residential’ style allotments and would therefore result in a compliant outcome.

2.3.1.6 Natural Features The site is not identified as to contain any natural waterways, natural wetland or wetland protection areas. The site is not mapped as containing any significant regional ecosystems or remnant vegetation, however is mapped as containing a locally significant connectivity corridor for wildlife. The proposal does not, however, unduly compromise the conservation value of the surrounding area. 2.3.1.7 Impact on Amenity The proposed lot sizes allow sufficient setbacks from adjoining properties and maintain the existing amenity of the locality. No amenity concerns are raised by the proposal given the nature of development established and approved in the locality, for urban purposes, and limited visual impact of the proposal. 2.3.1.8 Flooding The site is well-elevated, falls moderately to a valley in its south-western corner and is not known to be subject to flooding. 2.3.1.9 Site Contamination The site is not listed on the Environmental Management Register or Contaminated Lands Register and is not known to have been used for activities likely to have caused contamination. 2.3.2 Rural Planning Area Code While the site is located in the Rural Planning Area and triggers assessment against the Rural Planning Area Code, it is not relevant to this proposal as the Code does not incorporate any provisions for reconfiguration.



2.3.3 Infrastructure Works Code The applicant has not provided an assessment against this Code. Standard

approval conditions will also apply.

2.3.4 Landscaping Code The applicant has not provided an assessment against this Code, however landscaping requirements are not generally imposed on boundary realignments and subdivisions in the Rural zone.

2.3.5 Conservation Significant Areas Code The site is identified as containing a small wildlife connectivity corridor, however the proposal is not considered to compromise the overall value of the area for conservation purposes. 3.0 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION The application was code assessable and did not require public notification. 4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal Council’s Design Services Division was consulted and no issues with realigning the existing boundary to facilitate the residential development applied for in 2008-1073 were raised. Further, no significant engineering issues would preclude the creation of two (2) separate allotments in lieu of Part A and B of Lot 2. Additional contributions would however apply, should the application be amended. 4.2 External 4.2.1 Referral Agencies The application did not require referral to any State Government Agencies. 5.0 CONCLUSION The application proposes a boundary realignment that is consistent with the nature of surrounding development in the locality, however proposes the creation of two (2) part lots, separated by an unrelated allotment. The creation of two (2) part lots would result in maintenance issues, as they would be unable to be effectively and efficiently utilised as a single allotment.



Whilst the transfer of land from existing Lot 2 to Lot 1 is supported in order to facilitate the subsequent residential subdivision proposed as part of 2008-1073, an amended proposal is recommended to be submitted creating two (2) separate allotments instead of two (2) parts of a single lot over Lot 2.

P25/04/09 Moved: Cr L.J. Friske Seconded: Cr R.A. Gâté

Recommend that Council, as Assessment Manager, advise the Applicant for Development Application 2008-1074 for Reconfiguring a Lot – Boundary Realignment, that the application is not supported in its current form. Further that Council will reconsider an amended application identifying proposed Part A and Part B of Lot 2 as two (2) separate lots.

Report: (Principal Planner – K.M. Toomey and Craven Ovenden Town

Planning) 1.0 Introduction This application seeks Council’s approval for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create 24 Additional Lots over Lot 2 on RP884801, which is to be excised to Lot 1 on MCH5526 under a separate application DA 2008-1074 for a boundary realignment between the two lots.



1.1 Site Description

• The site is located at 43 Hamilton Road and 196 Old Maryborough Road, Araluen, approximately 3 kilometres from Stuart Terrace and approximately 5 kilometres north-west of Gympie by road.

• The site has a frontage to Old Maryborough Road measuring 202 metres. The Hamilton Road frontage is divided in two by an unrelated allotment. The total frontage to Hamilton Road measures 294.9 metres.

• The site is improved by a large shed toward the north-western corner. A sizable dam is also located at the north-western corner of the site.

• A large area of the site has been previously cleared for grazing purposes however, several pockets of vegetation remain.

• The land falls approximately 15m to the south-western corner of Lot 2. 1.2 The Proposal A development application for a boundary realignment between the existing Lot 1 on MCH5526 and Lot 2 on RP884801 was lodged concurrently with this application and has been addressed in the previous report. This application proposes to create a total of 24 new residential lots and a new road which is connected to a recently approved residential development adjoining the southern boundary. The details of the proposal include lot sizes ranging from 802m2 to 1902m2, similar to other urban residential allotments approved in the area.



The proposed layout is reproduced below.

It is significant to note that a separate application to relocate the existing boundary between Lots 1 and 2, with the majority of Lot 2 to be excised to Lot 1, has previously been assessed and dealt with in a separate report.



1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Land immediately surrounding the site to the north, south, east and west is generally rural residential in nature. A small urban residential subdivision has been recently established adjoining the site to the west and a larger urban subdivision is to be developed to the south of the site, part of which is to be supplemented by this proposal.

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 an expansion of an approved urban residential subdivision over land which has been excised from Lot 2 by a separate boundary realignment application which has been addressed within a separate report. The proposed residential subdivision seeks to create 24 standard urban residential lots, ranging in size between 802m2 and 1902m2.



Leaving aside that the site is not in the designated Urban Area on the Gympie Strategy Map, the proposal presents a reasonable and logical extension to approved urban development to the south. While the land is currently zoned for rural activities, it is located in a buffer area between existing and approved urban residential development to the south and rural residential to the north. Although not explicitly stated in the Scheme, this area is considered suitable for urban residential expansion, as it is on the fringe of Gympie’s existing urban area and its large lot sizes are conducive to the subdivision of standard sized allotments as opposed to rural residential sized lots which reduce the potential for urban development in the future. In this sense, the proposal provides an adequate use of the land. 2.2 Overlays / Natural Hazards / State Planning Policies 2.2.1 Good Quality Agricultural Land The site is identified on Overlay Map OM8 (Sheet 1) as comprising 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 adjoining the site to the south and east has been approved for urban and rural residential activities and there is evidence of the need for urban land beyond the boundaries set on the Gympie Strategy Map, 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 and extensive clearing will ensue as a result of the subdivision, no issues relating to bushfire hazard are considered to exist. 2.2.3 Erosion Hazard Different parts of the site are identified in the Very Low, Low, Medium and High 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 at the Operational Works Stage.



2.3 Assessment Against Codes

The applicable Codes include the following: - Reconfiguring a Lot Code - Gympie Planning Area Code - Infrastructure Works Code - Landscaping Code - Conservation Significant Areas 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 road which is to link with the approved residential subdivision to the south and east. Refer to Design Services Division Report for further details. 2.3.1.2 Services The site is currently serviced by reticulated water supply and it is the applicants’ apparent intention to provide reticulated sewerage. There is no information in the application about the manner in which this is to occur, but as there is reticulated sewerage proposed for the recently approved subdivision over land immediately south, a direct connection to that site can be assumed. 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. 2.3.1.4 Stormwater Part of the subject site forms a gully which receives flows from upstream catchments, according to the Stormwater Management Plan submitted in support of the application. Stormwater is proposed to be redirected to the road drainage system. Refer to Design Services Division report for further details.



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 802m2 and the largest is 1 902m2. It is nevertheless noted that neither existing Lot 1, at 9.3ha, or Lot 2, at 5.02ha, meets the lot size criteria under the Planning Scheme. The proposed lot sizes are consistent with existing and approved development to the south and present a logical expansion to the Gympie Urban Area in an appropriate location. Additionally, that part of Lot 2 which is to be excised to Lot 1, the land upon which this subdivision is proposed, does not currently have frontage to any road. As a result of the proposed reconfiguration, each residential lot will have frontage to local streets. 2.3.1.6 Natural Features 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. 2.3.1.7 Impact on Amenity Accepting that the site is suited to urban development, the proposed lot sizes allow for sufficient setbacks from adjoining properties and so permit standards of amenity consistent with an urban locality. The proposal involves an additional 24 lot subdivision in a rural area. Given the level of development proposed, it is reasonable to concede that some amenity impacts will prevail, though are likely to be of the nature and intensity commonly associated with urban residential development. In effect, the proposed subdivision is likely to extend the impacts already contemplated by the approved 90 lot subdivision to the south.



2.3.1.8 Flood / Landslide / Bushfire The site is well-elevated, falls moderately to a valley at the south-western corner of the site and is not known to be subject to flooding or landslide. The applicant has not provided any assessment against bushfire hazard, however given the extent of clearing that will be required in order to facilitate the development, no significant issues relating to bushfire hazard are considered to exist. 2.3.1.9 Site Contamination The site is not listed on the Environmental Management Register or Contaminated Lands Register. 2.3.2 Rural Planning Area Code While the site is located in the Rural Planning Area and triggers assessment against the Rural Planning Area Code, it is not relevant to this proposal as the Code does not incorporate any provisions for reconfiguration. 2.3.3 Infrastructure Works Code

The applicant has not provided an assessment against this Code. An

Operational Works application must be submitted prior to the construction of any works. Standard approval conditions will also apply. Refer to Design Services Division report for further details.

2.3.4 Landscaping Code The applicant has not provided an assessment against this Code, however street trees are no longer required as part of residential subdivisions. 2.3.5 Conservation Significant Areas Code The site is identified as containing a small wildlife connectivity corridor, however the proposal is not considered to compromise the overall value of the area for conservation purposes. 3.0 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION The application is code assessable and did not require public notification.



4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal Report: (General Manager Design Services - R. Chapman) This engineering report is based on the original reports submitted by the Town Planning Consultant, subsequent further information supplied by the Town Planner and the Engineer for this project who is also the Engineer for the adjoining development that has been given an Operational Works Approval under DA2008-0666. It is understood the proposed plan of subdivision is now the plan submitted by Martoo Consulting, Ref No D-00974-01-F, and dated 18/12/2008, even though the engineer's comments relate to the original proposal plan. TRAFFIC As these applications were made just prior to adoption of the Urban Road Contributions Policy the previous rates will apply for the additional lots at $298 per lot subject to cost escalation. No stages have been nominated in the submission. As internal footpaths are not required an equivalent contribution to external pathways should be applied as for road upgradings. ROADS The only road way in this development is a new internal road that will connect into two roads to be constructed in the adjoining development being developed by the same company. Although some of the remaining parcels will have frontage to Hamilton Road, those parcels frontages have not altered and hence no upgrading conditions have been imposed. The internal road now proposed is a much better outcome for circulation of traffic and stormwater drainage management. STORMWATER DRAINAGE Three distinct steep gullies now flow through the site. One will be directed off the adjoining development down the new road reserve whilst the other two will require piping through proposed lots with backwater levels being developed on the upstream lands which will require the owner's permission. Interlot drainage will be required depending on the lay of the land and the extent of filling required. This may require the adjoining already approved development to install additional interlot drains. Headworks charges apply for developments as per the Corella Road Drainage Study.



WATER SUPPLY AND SEWERAGE. Again the revised lot layout will improve water supply reticulation and simplify sewering. Headworks charges for this area include the additional headworks applicable for this catchment. MISCELLANEOUS Significant lot filling will be required which will include filling of existing dams. Level 1 filling as per AS 3798-2007 should be applied. Walling may also be necessary which will require engineering certification. Electricity including street lighting and Telecom services will be the responsibility of the developer. Changes will be required to adjoining development approvals for both Reconfiguration of Lots and Operational Works. 4.2 External 4.2.1 Referral Agencies The application did not require referral to any State Government Agencies. 5.0 CONCLUSION The application proposes a subdivision to create 24 additional residential allotments and is consistent with the nature of existing surrounding development and approved development in the locality. The application is recommended for approval, subject to conditions detailed in the recommendation and as explained in the report, including an amendment to create two (2) separate allotments from proposed Lot 2 Part A and B.

3/4 2009-0145 – Reconfiguring A Lot – Subdivision to Create One (1) Additional

Lot – 24 City View Drive, The Dawn – R. Welburn FILE NO: Minute: P27/04/09 2009-0145 APPLICANT: Mr Ray Welburn LANDOWNER: R. & S. Welburn RPD: Lot 15 on SP202464 SITE ADDRESS: 24 City View Drive, The Dawn CURRENT USE OF LAND: Vacant Land PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision

to Create 2 Lots (1 additional lot) EXISTING ZONE: Rural Residential LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code



KEY POINT SUMMARY

• Application for subdivision to create one (1) additional lot; • Site Area (Lot 15 SP202464): 1.4ha • Proposed Lot 1: 7 374m2 • Proposed Lot 2: 7 076m2 • No referral agencies applicable. • Proposed Lot 1 has a frontage to depth ratio greater than 1:4. • The width of Lot 1 is also reduced to 42m within 6.8m of the proposed

access point. • Application recommended for refusal. Report: (Planning Officer – S.F. Court)

1.0 APPLICATION This application seeks approval for a Development Permit to reconfigure one (1) existing lot to create two lots over Lot 15 SP202464, situated at 24 City View Drive, The Dawn.



The site is identified on the following map as being zoned Rural Residential:



The site is identified on the following Overlay Map:

• OM8 Good Quality Agricultural Land Class A & B.

Subject Site

Subject Site



2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Compliance with the Planning Scheme Under the arrangements of the Cooloola Shire Council 2005 Planning Scheme, Reconfiguring a Lot is ‘Code Assessable’ development and subject to the following codes: 2.1.1 Planning Scheme Provisions Under the arrangements of the Cooloola Shire Council Planning Scheme 2005, the proposed development is assessable against the codes outlined below.

Gympie Planning Area Code

The development is not considered to compromise any of the Code’s provisions relating to preservation of amenity (ie noise, light, air emissions and traffic). Specific outcome 9 requires buildings to be ‘appropriately sited with respect to boundary setbacks to protect privacy and natural breeze and light of adjoining and surrounding premises.’ Given the width of proposed lot 1 a dwelling will not be able to be located to comply with the minimum side setbacks (ie 15 metres) and given the location of an existing dwelling close to the common boundary with the adjoining lot it could be argued that approval of Lot 1 would potentially compromise privacy.

Reconfiguring a Lot Code The proposal is considered to conflict with SO-12 (c) (ii) of the Code which states: “if in the: (ii) Rural Residential Zone, is of a size compatible with promoting a high

level of rural amenity; “ The lot is narrow and long in comparison with other rural residential lots and particularly the existing development pattern in the immediate area and is not considered to promote a high level of amenity. Specific Outcome 12 of the Reconfiguration a Lot Code requires that ‘each lot, separate part of a lot or access easement: c. is of sufficient size and suitable proportions to be able to be capable of

being used for its intended purpose; and, d. is not less than the minimum area and dimensions indicated in Schedule

Table 12 minimum Lot Areas, Dimensions and Frontages for the zone in which the lot is located except where no greater number of lots is created, and a lesser and reasonable size is warranted due to pre-existing lot size, …,’



Schedule Table 12 Minimum Lot Areas, Dimensions and frontages requires: - Minimum 6000m2 lot size; and - Minimum frontage of 50m per allotment. - Minimum dimensions of 40m x 50m. Although the proposed development does meet the minimum lot sizes of 6000m2 for each lot, it does not meet the minimum frontage of 50m per allotment. Proposed Lot 1 has a frontage of 46.6m which is then reduced to 42m at 6.8m into the allotment. Access to proposed Lot 2 will be via a 102m access handle 10.5m wide. Infrastructure Works Code The proposal is generally able to meet the requirements of the Infrastructure Works Code for the Rural Residential Zone. A contribution towards the improvements of existing Public Park or recreation spaces in the general area is considered applicable to the proposal. Landscaping Code Street trees are not generally required as part of subdivisions in the Rural Residential Zone. Resource Areas Code The Resource Area Code is intended to preserve Good Quality Agricultural Land (GQAL) present within rural areas. The development site contains large sections of both Class A and Class B GQAL in the allotment, however given the proposal is zoned Rural Residential, the preservation of GQAL is not considered to be a significant issue in this application. 3.0 LOCAL AND/OR STATE PLANNING POLICIES Current Council mapping suggests the site contains both Class A and Class B Good Quality Agricultural Land (GQAL), however as the land has been designated for Rural Residential purposes by Council’s Planning Scheme it is considered that State Planning Policy 1/92 has already been addressed.

No other State Planning Policies are considered applicable. 4.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 4.1 Impact on Amenity Given the shape of the proposed lot and the existing adjoining residences the proposal is considered to compromise amenity in the area. Further, the required driveway in the access handle to proposed lot 2 will be close to any future dwelling on proposed lot 1.



Opportunity is also considered to exist to develop the site in conjunction with the adjoining two (2) hectare property.

4.2 Site Access and Traffic Consideration of road connections to adjoining lots is not required as adjoining sites all have access to suitable standard of roads within the Rural Residential Zone.

A contribution towards road improvements would be considered warranted due to the increased traffic that the proposal is likely to generate.

4.3 Flooding The site is well elevated and is not subject to flooding. 4.4 Vegetation The site has generally been cleared with only sparse vegetation retained along the existing boundaries. There is no mapped remnant vegetation on the site as evidenced by the Regional Ecosystem Mapping. 4.5 Site Contamination The site is not known nor suspected to be contaminated. The site does not appear to have been used for a notifiable activity under the Environmental Protection Act 1994. 5.6 Services Electricity and telecommunications are available to the site.

5.0 CONCLUSION

The proposed development generally does not comply with the provisions of Council’s Planning Scheme and therefore sufficient planning grounds exist in order to refuse approval of this particular proposal.

P27/04/09 Moved: Cr A.J. Perrett Seconded: Cr L.J. Friske Recommend that Council, as Assessment Manager, REFUSE Development Application 2009-0145 for Reconfiguring A Lot – Subdivision to Create One (1) Additional Lot over Lot 15 SP202464 located at 24 City View Drive, The Dawn for the following reasons:



1. The development is in conflict with the planning scheme; 2. Proposed lot 1 is inconsistent with the existing development pattern

in the area; 3. Proposed lot 1 results in an unacceptable frontage to depth ratio; 4. The proposal will compromise amenity in the area given the location

of existing adjoining residences. 5. A future dwelling on proposed lot 1 will be unacceptably impacted

upon by the existing adjoining dwelling and the access driveway to proposed lot 2.

6. Opportunity exists to more appropriately develop the site with the

adjoining property. 7. Proposed Lot 1 does not provide a minimum road frontage of 50

metres. Carried.

SECTION 5: GENERAL MATTERS 5/1 Application for Purchase Unallocated State Land – Rowe/Wickham Streets,

Gympie Re: Minute: P30/04/09 Application for Purchase Unallocated State Land

– Rowe/Wickham Streets, Gympie From: Department of Natural Resources and Water File: 4/4/4/5/6 Date: 19 February 2009

“The department has received the above application. The proposed use of the land is for the display of motor vehicles and landscaping. Copies of documents supporting the application are enclosed for your information. The enclosed Smartmap shows the subject land and the surrounding locality. Please advise NRW of your views or requirements that the department should consider when assessing this application. Objections to the application, and any views or requirements that may affect the future use of the land should be received by close of business on 18 April 2009. If you offer an objection to the application, a full explanation stating the reason for such an object should be forwarded to this Office.



If you wish to provide a response but are unable to do so before the due date, please contact the author before the due date to arrange a more suitable timeframe. If a response is not received by the due date and no alternative arrangements have been made, it will be assumed you have no objections or requirements in relation to this matter. This information has been provided to you in confidence for the purpose of seeking your views on this matter. It is not to be used for any other purpose, or distributed further to any person, company, or organisation, without the express written permission of the department unless required.”



Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 Introduction The above letter was received on 19 February 2009, requesting Council’s views and/or requirements to the purchase of the above land. The proposed use of the land is indicated to be the display of motor vehicles and landscaping.



Council was formerly trustee for the site but has since relinquished such trusteeship. 2.0 Site The subject allotment, 660m2 in area, is zoned Community and currently is being used for staff parking of the adjacent car display yard (Pacific Hyundai). 3.0 Assessment This matter was similarly considered by Council in 2007, when the same applicant made application for a Permit to Occupy the site. At that time Council resolved vide Minute P50/02/07 to: ‘Recommend that Council offer no objection to a temporary use of R1242 by the adjoining landowner for: • landscaping; • display of cars; and • carparking subject to the land being made available on six (6) months notice for use by: • Council; and/or • Department of Main Roads. Further, the use would need prior Material Change of Use approval.’ There are no objections to the sale of land, given that any use would be subject to a development application where relevant issues could be addressed. 4.0 Conclusion It is recommended that no objection be offered to the purchase of the land. Given the requested response date is 18 April, 2009 it is requested the Committee’s recommendation be actioned from the meeting.

P30/04/09 Moved: Cr R.J. Dyne Seconded: Cr L.J. Friske Recommend that in relation to an application to purchase unallocated state land described as Lot A on AP17559, located on Rowe Street, Gympie Council offer no objection, however that the applicant be advised that the intended use of the site for display of vehicles and landscaping would be subject to a development application for material change of use.



Further, that Council note that the Chief Executive Officer has been authorised to send this advice from today’s meeting and it is recommended that the Committee’s action in this matter be endorsed.

Carried. 5/2 2009-0186 – Proposed Operational Works Application – Shopping Centre –

Lot 11 RP896298 - Ramsey Road, Southside – AHC Limited Re: Minute: P31/04/09 Proposed Operational Works Application –

Shopping Centre From: AHC Limited File: 2009-0186 Date: 8 April 2009



Report: (General Manager Design Services Division - R. Chapman) This development by necessity and by the original approval conditions is required to carry Council stormwater from under and over Ramsay Road through the site and discharge onto the downstream lands. Currently, Council discharges into a small easement on the shopping centre land adjacent to the hotel. This discharge point will then be moved to the boundary of Lot 2 MPH33457. The owner of that property has refused a point of discharge onto his land as has been discussed with Council previously by the developers of the shopping centre.



It is understood the owner of the downstream lands carried out unauthorised work many years ago which included filling and installing a large size stormwater pipe through his land. If this had been built to Council approval it would have probably been an acceptable point of discharge. The developer of the centre is therefore faced with no option other than to install a detention basin and discharge structure such that will replicate the natural flow of water that now enters Lot 2 off the naturally shaped shopping centre land. It is my view that this will be difficult to achieve in such a way as to convince the downstream owner he has not been adversely affected given his past performances. However, the developer's engineers believe this can be achieved satisfactorily. In view of the developers insistence of this, it is recommended that the easement documentation that would be required with Council piped storm water passing through the property including the overland flow, should exclude Council from the responsibility of the stormwater flows and the detention basin. This should also include a requirement on the shopping centre developer to remove the detention basin and connect to downstream stormwater should that ever be constructed to Council's requirements.

P31/04/09 Moved: Cr L.J. Friske Seconded: Cr R.J. Dyne Recommend that Council agree to AHC Limited constructing a detention basin on its lands within the carpark provided it accepts fully all responsibility for the design and operation of the detention basin to replicate the natural flows off its land and that should a lawful point of discharge become available on the downstream lands, it will be required to dispense with the detention basin and connect directly to the downstream drainage to Council's satisfaction and at no cost to Council.
