SECTION 1: STRATEGIC PLANNING MATTERS

1/1 Regional Sport & Recreational Strategy for Wide Bay Burnett

Re: Regional Sport & Recreational Strategy for Wide Bay Burnett From: Wide Bay Burnett Regional Organisation of Councils File: AG07/1034 Date: 7 April 2008 Letter from WBBROC dated 22 January 2008. “You will re-call past correspondence from ROC regarding the above project and the commitment from ROC Member Councils to fund $20,000 towards the cost of the $80,000 project cost, with the balance of $60,000 being sought from the Department of Local Government. It is apparent that this project will not now be commenced before the forthcoming amalgamations. Therefore at the last ROC meeting, Member Councils decided that a letter be forwarded to all LTC’s requesting that they recommend funding support for the study so that it can be commenced once funding from the Department for their share is finalised. It would be appreciated if you would present this request to your next LTC meeting.” Report: (Interim Manager Strategic Planning – K.A. Rolfe) 1.0 PREVIOUS COOLOOLA SHIRE COUNCIL The following report was presented to Cooloola Shire Council on 14 August 2007. The resolution follows. “1.0 REGIONAL APPROACH The Regional Planning Advisory Committee of WBBROC have unanimously supported the development of a ‘regional’ recreation & sports strategy to provide a framework for the delivery of recreation services within the context of the Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan. They are seeking support from member councils. 2.0 BENEFITS The current Cooloola Shire Local Government Area will remain in the Wide Bay Burnett Region following amalgamation. It is essential that Council participates in these regional planning exercises to achieve maximum benefits for the community.


Council’s own Open Space and Recreation Plan once adopted will provide valuable information for this project. The project offers the opportunity of finding a regional solution for “difficult to locate” sports such as shooting and off-road motor cycle riding in a cost effective manner. P27/08/07 Moved: Cr ME Prior Seconded: Cr J Watt Recommend that Council supports the WBBROC RPAC in developing a “Regional Recreational & Sports Strategy” and contributes the amount of $1200 from Ledger No. 2720703.2000 towards the project.” Carried. 2.0 PREVIOUS KILKIVAN SHIRE COUNCIL The former Chief Executive Officer of Kilkivan Shire Council advises that a letter of support for the Regional Sport & Recreational Strategy for Wide Bay Burnett was forwarded in response to the ROC request. The amount of $900.00 was committed to the project. 3.0 PREVIOUS TIARO SHIRE COUNCIL It is unknown whether Tiaro supported the project. The amount requested from them was $1,100.00. 4.0 GYMPIE REGIONAL COUNCIL The Regional Sport & Recreational Strategy was supported by two of the former Councils and money committed. It is understood that funding of $60,000 from the Department of Local Government, Sport and Recreation has now been confirmed for the project and it will proceed. Council’s total contribution is expected to be $2,450.00. NOTE: This matter was dealt with by the Corporate Governance and Finance Committee on the 23 April 2008 and was therefore not addressed by this Committee.


1/2 Proposed Planning Scheme Policy 13 Urban Road Contributions

Re: Minute: P02/05/08 Proposed Planning Scheme Policy 13 Urban Road Contributions

From: Strategic Planning File: PSP00001 Date: 29 April 2008 Report: (Interim Manager Strategic Planning – K.A. Rolfe) 1. PLANNING SCHEME POLICY 13 The former Cooloola Shire Council commenced preparation of a planning scheme policy to provide a method to consistently apply charges relating to contributions for upgrading road infrastructure in urban areas. Adam Pekol Consulting undertook the background study to support the policy and to make recommendations to Council about appropriate charges. The report was used to develop PSP13 Urban Road Contributions dealing with monetary contributions towards the provision or upgrading of urban road infrastructure needed as a consequence of development, both reconfiguring a lot and making a material change of use. The draft policy is attached to the report (Attachment 1A). The policy fully replaces Planning Scheme Policies PSP9 and PSP10. PSP11 is replaced to the extent that it deals with development in the defined urban catchments. 2. EXPLANATORY STATEMENT The Integrated Planning Act 1997 requires Council to prepare an explanatory statement about any proposed policy to indicate the need for the policy and its purpose and effect. The explanatory statement for the policy consists of the report provided to Cooloola Shire Council by Adam Pekol Consulting, October 2007 and a short supplementary explanation of the reasons for departure from the reports recommendations (refer Attachment 1B). 3. CONSULTATION AND ADOPTION The consultation stage for making a planning scheme policy commences after Council proposes to make the policy. The consultation period must be for at least 20 business days after the notice is first published. Council must consider any properly made submissions, make any subsequent amendments, adopt the policy by resolution and notify the adoption of the policy in the newspaper and to the Chief Executive of the Department of Infrastructure and Planning.


P02/05/08 Moved: Cr L.J. Friske Seconded: Cr J Watt

Recommend that: (a) Council in accordance with paragraph 1(1)(a) of Part 1, Schedule 3

of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, propose to make Planning Scheme Policy PSP13 – Urban Road Contributions; and

(b) in accordance with paragraph 1(2) of Part 1, Schedule 3 of the

Integrated Planning Act 1997 the explanatory statement about the planning scheme policy is the report provided by Adam Pekol Consulting, October 2007 supplemented by the short statement as attached to this report; and

(c) the consultation stage for the planning scheme policy commence in

June, 2008. Further that Council contacts relevant applicants with live approvals generating road works contributions advising of Council’s intention to adopt the policy.

Carried.

1/4 Cooloola Shire Council Minute G37/03/08

Re: Minute: P04/05/08 Cooloola Shire Council Minute G37/03/08 From: Interim Manager Strategic Planning File: PSR00010 Date: 28 April 2008 Report: (Interim Manager Strategic Planning – K.A. Rolfe) 1.0 RESOLUTION Cooloola Shire Council resolved vide Minute G37/03/08: “That the Cooloola Shire Council recommends to the Gympie Regional

Council that they develop a Master Plan for the Commercial Precinct of Tin Can Bay.”

2.0 BACKGROUND Tin Can Bay is a small commercial centre within the Gympie Region. The total permanent population it services is 4000, including Cooloola Cove. A shopping centre was recently approved in Cooloola Cove. Its population is growing at a faster rate than Tin Can Bay and there is capacity to overtake it over the next few years. Gympie has a population of 16,000 and services the whole of the region’s population of 43,000. Imbil has a lack of land identified for commercial purposes. Cooloola Shire had never undertaken a retail study for its area. Reliable information is therefore lacking across the region. 3.0 WHOLE OF REGION APPROACH Rather than isolated studies being conducted within each centre it is timely to undertake a commercial strategy for the whole of the new Gympie Region to identify the floor space and land requirements for commercial development in all centres. The study can consider the differing needs of each. This will provide information for Council in deciding future applications that may be inconsistent with the current planning scheme. It will also complement the findings of the Industrial Land Study to be undertaken by DTRDI.


P04/05/08 Moved: Cr G.L. Engeman Seconded: Cr J.A. Walker

Recommend that Council formulates a Commercial / Retail Strategy for the whole of the Gympie Regional Council area as part of a planning scheme review process.

Carried. 1/5 Sport, Recreation and Parks Coordinating Committee

Re: Minute: P05/05/08 Sport, Recreation and Parks Coordinating Committee

From: Interim Manager Strategic Planning File: PG95/00107 Date: 29 April, 2008 Report: (Interim Manager Strategic Planning – K.A. Rolfe) 1.0 FORMER SPORT AND RECREATION SUB-COMMITTEE Cooloola Shire Council ran a Sport and Recreation Sub-committee that dealt with a range of issues relating to the provision of park infrastructure. The Committee provided an opportunity for staff in various departments of Council to keep informed of the various initiatives being planned and to co-ordinate funding applications. Issues relating to sporting clubs and facilities were also discussed. 2.0 GRC ROLE IN SPORT, RECREATION AND PARKS Discussions between staff members have indicated further willingness to co-ordinate a greater range of issues related to sport, recreation and parks. The following is a summary of Council activities and roles in the provision of opportunities for sport and recreation for the community. Planning and Development:

1. open space and recreation planning projects a. Shire wide, b. specific masterplans

2. partnerships with State – Qld Health, Education Qld, Sport, Recreation and Racing

3. development assessment – park land or monetary contributions 4. policy development – planning scheme and planning scheme policies 5. Priority Infrastructure Planning 6. Park Infrastructure Charges Schedule


Works

1. Natural area land management (reserves for which Council is trustee) 2. Park maintenance and management 3. Liaison with lessees

Design

1. Park Design 2. Park construction, contract supervision 3. Mapping

Community Services

1. Use of parks (fetes, weddings, circuses etc) 2. Control of behaviour in parks (local laws) 3. Public toilets 4. Rubbish collection 5. Community information compilation– park facilities, sporting groups 6. Sporting group liaison and assistance with funding applications

Corporate Administration

1. Leases 2. Property dealings 3. Website - information

Finance

1. Financial assistance grants 2. Budget 3. Monetary and in-kind contributions to groups for maintenance

3.0 PROPOSAL FOR SPORT, RECREATION AND PARKS

COORDINATING COMMITTEE In addition to the implementation of the “Cooloola Shire Open Space and Recreation Plan” Council policies in relation to the functions described above require cross departmental coordination, consultation and cooperation. The process of developing an infrastructure charges schedule for Parks will be a major challenge for Council in the near future. All sections of Council, but particularly Strategic Planning and Engineering Services will need to be involved. An internal committee with greater staff and councillor representation could be effective in maximising Council’s outcomes in this area. One of the work sections missing from Committee meetings to date has been the Design Department who are integral in the process of design and construction of Council facilities. Also, while the Works Department has always been represented by the Parks Manager, there is not necessarily a Councillor representative.


4.0 SUGGESTED MEMBERSHIP The following membership proposes for the first time the inclusion of a Councillor representative for the Design and Works Departments:

• Cr Ian Petersen (Chairperson of Planning and Development Committee)

• Cr Jan Watt (Proxy Chairperson of Planning and Development Committee)

• Cr Larry Friske (Chairperson of Works Committee) or Cr Julie Walker (Proxy Chairperson of Works Committee)

• General Manager Design Services Division or Manager Design Services or delegate

• Parks Manager • Manager Strategic Planning or delegate • Coordinator Community Facilities and Services or delegate • Senior Executive Policy and Liaison • Sport and Recreation Advisor, Sport, Recreation and Racing

with the ability to co-opt the attendance of the Manager of Corporate Administration in relation to leasing issues.

P05/05/08 Moved: Cr A.J. Perrett Seconded: Cr R.A. Gâté

Recommend that Council appoints Cr J.A. Walker, Proxy Chairperson of the Works Committee to the Sport, Recreation and Parks Co-ordinating Committee in addition to Cr I.T Petersen, Chairperson of the Planning and Development Committee and Cr J. Watt, Proxy Chairperson of the Planning and Development Committee.

Carried.


1/6 Chronology of Events – Planning Issues – Snapper Creek Boat Harbour

Re: Minute: P06/05/08 Snapper Creek Boat Harbour From: Director of Planning and Development – M. Hartley File: WG94/00017 Date: 28 April 2008 Report: (Director of Planning and Development – M. Hartley) 1.0 Minute G54/07/07 from the General Meeting of the Cooloola Shire

Council held on 17 July 2007 reads: “That Council request a meeting with the Minister of Transport and appropriate staff of Qld Transport’s various maritime units including: - Waterways Planning & Infrastructure (Mr Tony Slocombe) - Maritime Safety Queensland (Capt. John Watkinson) - Integrated Transport Planning (Mr Paul Stenhouse) to address recreational boating needs in consultation with the Cooloola Community; and to progress the development of a master plan for the Snapper Creek Boat Harbour and Tin Can Bay Inlet.”

2.0 A meeting between senior officers from Queensland Transport and

Cooloola Shire’s Mayor Venardos OAM, Cr Maree Prior, Craig Manson (Acting Chief Executive Officer) and Mike Hartley (Director of Planning and Development) was held in Brisbane on 9 November 2007.

3.0 As a result of the 9 November 2007 deputation, report and Minutes

G39/02/08 and G40/02/08 from the General Meeting held on 12 February 2008 read: “Re: G39/02/08 Snapper Creek Boat Harbour From: Mr B. Wilson, Director-General, GPO Box 1549, Brisbane QLD

4001 File: WG94/00017 DOC ID: 877711 Date: 24 January 2008

“I refer to the deputation between Cooloola Shire Council (CSC) and senior officers from Queensland Transport (QT) on 9 November 2007 to discuss planning issues for Snapper Creek Boat Harbour. As a follow up to these discussions I would like to clarify Queensland Transport’s position in relation to the planning proposal.


As you would be aware, under Section 2.1.1 of the Environmental Protection Agency’s State Coastal Management Plan (SCMP), State boat harbours are identified as areas of State significance (social and economic) where marine infrastructure should be located. The current usage, (including the proposed marina) of the snapper Creek Harbour, is consistent with the original purpose established by Cabinet, in that it fosters recreational boating by providing sheltered moorings and a range of services and facilities required by the boating public. The Department is acting in accordance with the SCMP and with long standing State boat harbour policy framework. In the event that CSC was willing to lead a master planning exercise that incorporated the large sections of land around the harbour, the beach side inlet and the State boat harbour (without seeking to alter the Cabinet approved purpose for the boat harbour), QT would be in a position to support CSC in this regard. Should you wish to discuss this further you are welcome to contact Mr Paul Stenhouse Director Boating Infrastructure on 3117 5708.” G39/02/08 Moved: Cr L.J. Friske Seconded: Cr N.R. Ellis That the information be received, and referred to the Gympie Regional Council.

Carried The Mayor put forward some views expressed in an email from Cr M. Prior as part of the discussions. G40/02/08 Moved: Cr MJ Venardos OAM Seconded: Cr N.R. Ellis That this Council again request the State Government through appropriate Departments to carry out a Master Planning exercise of the Tin Can Bay Boat Harbour and Norman Point, as soon as possible and that the Government consult with Council and the Community in its promulgation of the Master Plan.

Carried”

4.0 A letter from Council to the Premier of Queensland, The Hon Anna Bligh MP as a result of Minute G40/02/08 is reproduced below:


“I make reference to a letter received from the Director General, Queensland Transport of 22 January 2008 following a Deputation with Council representatives and Officers from Queensland Transport, regarding planning issues for the Snapper Creek Boat Harbour. At the General Meeting of Council held on 12 February 2008, Council resolved to again write to request the State Government carry out, as soon as possible, a Master Planning Exercise of the Tin Can Bay Boat Harbour and Norman Point. Council also resolved that the Government Departments involved in the Master Planning Exercise, consult with Council and with the Community in its promulgation of a Master Plan.

SECTION 2: PLANNING APPLICATIONS 2/1 DA17617 – Material Change of Use – Accommodation Premises (Guesthouse)

– 44 Meadows Lane, Chatsworth – L & T Dyer FILE: Minute: P10/05/08 DA17617 APPLICANT: L & T Dyer LANDOWNER: L & T Dyer RPD: Lot 2 on SP138758 SITE ADDRESS: 44 Meadows Lane, Chatsworth PROPOSAL: Material Change of Use – Accommodation

Premises (Guesthouse) EXISTING ZONE: Rural PLANNING AREA: Rural LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code Assessable


Report: (Administration Officer – S.A. Capell) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This application seeks Council’s approval to reuse four (4) existing buildings previously used by the Endeavour Foundation for adult residential accommodation associated with their farm at Spring Valley to an “accommodation premises” in the form of a guesthouse at 44 Meadows Lane, Chatsworth. 1.1 The Proposal The property was previously owned by the Endeavour Foundation who developed the buildings for adult residential use associated with their farm at Spring Valley in 1980. This proposal seeks approval for a guesthouse comprising three (3) buildings containing a total of 13 units and a library / lounge / kitchen / dining / manager’s office and quarters in a separate building on a rural property at Chatsworth. The combined gross floor area for the three (3) unit buildings is 193.2m2, and the library / lounge / kitchen / dining / manager’s office and quarters building has a gross floor area of 199.46m2. The applicant proposes hosting 10 people on average, alternating weekly with guests arriving on Monday and departing Friday (Week 1) and arriving Friday and departing Sunday (Week 2). Guests will be invited to partake in self-empowerment programs during their stay and facilities available would include a 3 000 book library, private lounge area, contemplation area and dining room.




1.2 Site Description The site is characterised by a ridge running through the middle of the northern boundary peaking at the south-eastern corner of the block, as well as a slightly steeper (approximately 15%-30% gradient) portion in the south-western corner covered in remnant vegetation. The property slopes gently (approximately 10% gradient) from the building locations down to the driveway entrance in Meadows Lane to the east, slightly steeper (approximately 20% gradient) from the buildings to the west down to a flatter area (approximately 10% gradient) before rising again where the remnant vegetation is situated in the south-west. The site is currently improved by the four (4) buildings subject of the proposal, an outbuilding approximately 20 metres further to the south from the library / lounge / kitchen / dining / manager’s office and quarters building and a removal dwelling (approved January 2008) situated approximately 80 metres further to the south from the outbuilding. 1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Surrounding land uses in this locality are predominantly rural, including a macadamia farm to the north and forestry land located to the south-west. 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Compliance with the Planning Scheme 2.1.1 Scheme Definition Accommodation premises are defined in Council’s Planning Scheme as the residential use of premises in units of accommodation. The term includes guesthouses as is the case in this proposal. 2.1.2 Development Provisions The proposal is located within the Rural Zone and is Code Assessable against the relevant codes outlined in the Planning Scheme. 2.1.3 Accommodation Premises Code The size and scale of this proposal does not exceed Planning Scheme requirements. The existing buildings at approximately 5.0m and one storey above natural ground level do not exceed height and storey requirements of 8.5m and 2 storeys set in Probable Solution 1 (PS-1) of the code.


PS-1 of the code also requires plot ratio to not exceed 0.6 and PS-2 requires site coverage to be below 40%. The proposal complies with a plot ratio of less than 0.002 and site coverage of under 1%. Site area and siting are covered by PS-5 of the code which states that if for a guesthouse in the Rural Zone, the minimum lot size required is 10 hectares, the minimum setback to any building from a lot boundary is 10 metres, and units of accommodation are sited no less than 50 metres from agricultural uses on adjoining premises. The lot size is 32.34 hectares, and the cabins are located a minimum of 160 metres from the nearest boundary. Vehicle access is via a gravel driveway off Meadows Lane which is also constructed to a gravel standard on a 20 metre road reserve width. Vehicles can access and leave the premises in a forward gear due to the significant size of the site. The applicant advises infrastructure provided on-site, as a result of the previous Endeavour Foundation use, includes five fresh rainwater tanks (totalling 120 000 litres in storage) and a back-up diesel-powered generator hard-wired into the electrical system. The applicant also advised that a WaterTech waste water treatment plant (installed 2002/2003 under Cooloola Shire Council directions) suitable for 13 live-in residents and their attendant carers is installed on the property, however the associated plumbing application has not been completed, and a condition requiring formalisation of the upgrade prior to commencement of the use has been included in the recommendation. 2.1.4 Vehicle Parking and Access Code A/PS-1 of the code requires parking to be provided at the rate of 1.25 spaces per unit of accommodation (including manager’s residence) and one (1) bus parking space per 20 units of accommodation. Based on the potential 13 units on-site plus manager’s residence, the total number of car parking spaces required totals 17.5. Parking exists for 14 vehicles, leaving a shortfall of four (4) car parking spaces. There is ample room on site to accommodate the required vehicle parking for ten (10) guests, therefore the 14 existing car parking spaces are deemed to satisfy the overall outcomes for the code. 2.2 Local and/or State Planning Policies The site is mapped as having both Good Quality Agricultural Land Classes A and B, therefore triggering assessment against State Planning Policy 1/92: Development and Conservation of Agricultural Land. As the proposal is within an existing building and there are no additional buildings / subdivision, there are no issues to address.


3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Appropriateness of the Proposal The proposal is for accommodation premises (guesthouse) within the subject site. This use is not identified as an inconsistent use and generally complies, or can be conditioned to comply with the relevant codes of Council’s Planning Scheme. The applicant indicates in supporting information submitted with the application that the proposal would be a significant reduction in scale to the previous Endeavour Foundation use, where the property was visited on a daily basis by buses, taxis and cars to pick-up and drop-off residents for both work and pleasure activities, as well as staff. 3.2 Impact on Amenity No amenity concerns are raised by the proposal. The use is located in the appropriate zone, and is setback sufficiently from adjoining properties to ensure no adjoining landowners are impacted upon. As a courtesy, the proposal was forwarded to land owners in the vicinity and no submissions were received. 3.3 Site Access and Traffic The existing driveway access is off Meadows Lane which is constructed to a suitable gravel standard and no upgrading or monetary contribution is considered justified given the reduced traffic generation from the previous use. Engineering raise no safety concerns with the lead–in road. 3.4 Car Parking Currently, 14 car parking spaces exist on-site and there is adequate area for additional car parking if required. A condition requiring submission of a car parking plan to formalise the arrangements is included in the recommendation. 3.5 Flooding The site is not known to be subject to flooding. 3.6 Landscaping No landscaping plans have been provided as part of this application, however, existing landscaping arrangements are considered sufficient.


3.7 Site Contamination The site is not listed on the Environmental Management Register. 4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 External As a courtesy, the proposal was forwarded to land owners in the vicinity and no submissions were received. 4.2 Internal (a) Design Services Division Report: (General Manager Design Services Division - R. Chapman) The only engineering issues regarding this development relate to traffic generation, the condition of the road leading to the site and access to Meadows Lane. TRAFFIC The applicant claims that the traffic to be generated by the proposed development will be less than the former use by the Endeavour Foundation. As this is not able to be disputed, no contribution can be sought. LEAD-IN ROAD Meadows Lane is a relatively poor standard sealed road with approximately 100 metres of good standard gravel road before the property access. There would appear to be no requirements under the Planning Scheme to require any upgrading of the gravel road. ACCESS The current access has adequate visibility in both directions. It is located in a sag in the road gradient with an adjoining new access road to another house on the property meeting at a low point within the property. This low point does not create a problem with the through road but could create a stormwater problem away from the road itself. (a) Community Services Directorate – Health & Environmental Services Conditions included in recommendation.


4.3 External (a) Department of Natural Resources and Water Department of Natural Resources and Water have issued conditional approval to this proposal. The conditions imposed ensure that clearing as a result of the MCU does not occur within assessable vegetation and the application remains consistent with the MCU Policy. 5.0 CONCLUSION This accommodation premises proposal is located in the appropriate zone, complies with Council’s Planning Scheme requirements and is a decrease in scale to the former Endeavour Foundation operations conducted from the site. As such, the application is recommended for approval.

Camping Shop) - 48 Edwin Campion Drive, Monkland - S. Protheroe FILE NO: Minute: P11/05/08 DA17693 APPLICANT: S. Protheroe LANDOWNER S.D. Protheroe & R.M. Protheroe RPD: Lot 2 & 3 SP140718 SITE ADDRESS: 48 Edwin Campion Drive, Monkland CURRENT USE OF LAND: Camping Shop PROPOSAL: Material Change of Use – Showroom

(Extension to Existing Camping Shop) PLANNING AREA Gympie EXISTING ZONE: Industry LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code

Report: (Contract Planning Officer – S.J. Taylor) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal The application seeks Council’s approval to erect a showroom on part of the land currently being used as a display yard by way of an extension to the existing “Never Never Camping” business.




1.2 Site Description The site is developed with a Showroom – Camping Shop and adjoining the building is a display area of approximately 965m2. Provision has been made for a sealed parking area for 15 vehicles with two existing access cross overs from Edwin Campion Drive. Established landscaping exists on the property.


1.3 Previous Property Approvals On the 1 March 2005 approval was granted for DA10429 for the current use of the land, being a Sales and Hire yard as defined by the 1997 Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme. 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 State Planning Policies No policies are relevant to this application. 2.2 Planning Scheme Provisions The subject site is zoned “Industry” under the provisions of the Cooloola Planning Scheme and showroom development is code assessable. The following codes are relevant to the assessment of the application. Gympie Planning Area Code The proposed development generally complies with the code except for the zero building setback to the northern side boundary and the 1.5 metre building setback to Brisbane Road. The Planning Scheme (Schedule 4 – Minimum Setback for Commercial Buildings and other structures) requires a 3 metre side boundary building setback and a 6 metre setback from Brisbane Road. As no access is provided off Brisbane Road and the existing and proposed development is focussed towards Edwin Campion Drive, to impose a 6 metre setback to Brisbane Road would significantly reduce building areas and difficulties in providing onsite carparking. Brisbane Road has a large grass footpath to the property alignment which gives a significant setback to the building from the paved street area. In addition no pedestrian access will be obtained from Brisbane Road as kerb side parking is not available. The proposed building is positioned in line with the existing building and is designed to a similar architectural theme except that openings do not have similar awnings. A consistent architectural theme should be presented to Brisbane Road and is recommend to be conditioned accordingly. Further the side boundary clearance “zero building line” is considered acceptable having regard to the site being in the industry zone, the building line is only 14 metres long and is of tilt panel construction with no openings, therefore will not create fire or noise issues.


Having regard for the above the proposed setbacks should be allowed. Erosion and Sediment Control No issues are perceived that cannot be adequately controlled/managed at the building phase of the development. Infrastructure Works Code Adequate infrastructure exists to service the proposed development. Council’s Water Supply and Sewerage Headworks Policy applies and is assessed as follows: Water Supply Headworks (1206.8m2 GFA ÷ 100m2) x 1.0ep x $1055 = $12,731.74 Less credit for previous approvals = $14,770.00 (1400m2 GFA ÷ 100m2) x 1.0ep x $1055 Water Supply Headworks credit ($2,038.26) Sewerage Headworks (1206.8m2 GFA ÷ 100m2) x 1.2ep x $1648 = $23,865.68 Less credit for previous approvals (1400m2 GFA ÷ 100m2) x 1.2ep x $1648 = $27,686.40 Sewerage Headworks credit ($3,820.72) In accordance with the above calculation and applying Council policy, no headworks contributions are required. Landscaping Code Landscaping on the site is well established in accordance with previous approvals on the land and considered acceptable for the proposed development. Vehicle Parking Code Schedule 10 – Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements, stipulates off street parking to be provided at the following rates:


Existing building on the land As per previous approval 1 space per 100m2 = (755.8 ÷ 40) = 7.56 spaces Proposed Development 1 space per 40m2 of GFA = (450.m2 GFA ÷ 40) = 11.25 spaces Parking Required = 18.81 spaces 19 spaces Parking has been provided for 20 spaces over both allotments and complies with AS2890.1. Access to the site is existing and satisfactory. Loading/unloading can be achieved onsite. 3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Appropriateness of the Proposal The proposed development is considered to be in keeping with the industrial zoning of the land. 3.2 Site Access and Traffic Adequate access to Edwin Campion Drive is existing. 3.3 Flooding The site is flood free. 3.4 Other Issues The applicant advises that the end wall of the existing building to which the proposed building is to be attached is 150mm encroached into the adjoining allotment (Lot 3). In addition it is the intention of the owner not to amalgamate the allotments so that future individual sale of development is not jeopardised. To achieve the above any approval granted will need to be conditioned to incorporate the following:


Submission of a reconfiguring a lot application for the re-alignment of the boundary and reciprocal access easements granted over each allotment to allow utilisation of carparking for both allotments, as the shortfall of carparking on Lot 3 is provided on Lot 2. 4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal (a) Department of Engineering

Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – A. Laszlo)

TRAFFIC

No traffic generation rate was supplied with the application for this proposed showroom previously used as a display yard. The accepted generation rate for a showroom is 40 vpd per 100m2 GFA as per industry guidelines. All traffic to the development site can only enter and exit from Brisbane Road onto Edwin Campion Drive, which is a state-controlled road. Therefore adopting 50% of the traffic using local roads and providing a credit for the existing light industrial use, a contribution of $3345 towards road and intersection upgrading is justified. There are no other engineering issues as the lot was fully developed at the subdivisional stage. (b) Department of Health and Community Services

Conditions have been provided for inclusion in an approval. 4.2 External (a) Department of Main Roads The application was referred to the Department of Main Roads as a concurrence agency in accordance with the Integrated Planning Act 1997. The Department has advised that it has no requirements with respect to the above application.

2/3 DA18014 – Material Change of Use of Premises – General Industry and Low

Impact Industry and Reconfiguring a Lot – Access Easement at Karoonda Road, Rainbow Beach – Kaena Enterprises FILE NO: Minute: P12/05/08 DA18014 APPLICANT: Kaena Enterprises Pty Ltd LANDOWNER: Kaena Enterprises Pty Ltd as Trustee RPD: Lot 17 & 18 MCH814248 SITE ADDRESS: Karoonda Road, Rainbow Beach CURRENT USE OF LAND: Vacant PROPOSAL: General Industry and Low Impact

Industry and Reconfiguring a Lot – Access Easement

ZONE: Industry PREFERRED USE AREA: Nil PLANNING AREA: Cooloola Coast

Report: (Administration Officer – K.M. Fuller)

1.0 The Site The proposal involves two adjoining sites located on Karoonda Road, Rainbow Beach. Both sites are presently vacant and each has an area of 600m2.


Surrounding land uses are predominantly industrial, with a Council owned reserve located directly behind both sites and along the southern boundary of Lot 17.





2.0 The Proposal A development permit is sought for a Material Change of Use for General Industry and Low Impact Industry and also Reconfiguring a Lot for an Access Easement. • It is proposed to construct two concrete tilt slab buildings, one on each

site.


• The buildings are to be mirror reversed and are to be sited within the 0.0 metre setback from the rear and side boundary. A six metre setback from the front boundary is achieved.

• Each building will have a gross floor area of 264m2 with an open yard area and loading/turning areas.

• A total of ten (10) car parking spaces, five (5) for each site are provided. • A shared driveway is proposed facilitated by the creation of an access

easement. • The applicant does not wish to amalgamate the sites. No specific tenancies are intended at this stage. It is proposed that likely tenants will fall within the Low Impact or General Industry definitions. “Low Impact Industry” means the use of premises for small scale industrial

activity that is conducted entirely within a building. The term includes; (a) small engine repairs; (b) dry cleaning; (c) dressmaking, curtain making and sewing; (d) locksmithing; (e) engraving; (f) photocopying, document duplicating and plan printing; (g) picture framing; (h) film processing; (i) the manufacture of works of art or craft, such as handicrafts, paintings

and sculptures; (j) the making of bread, cakes, pastries, or confectionery. The term also includes the sale of goods resulting from, and administration work connected with, the operations provided that such sales and administration space is not more that 20% of the total use area. “General Industry” means the use of premises for any industrial activity that is not an extractive industry, a low impact industry, rural industry or a special industry. The term includes operating a workshop for carrying out motor vehicle mechanical or panel repairs. The term also includes the sale of the goods resulting from, and administration work connected with, the operations provided that such sales and administration space is note more that 20% of the total use area.


3.0 Planning Scheme Provisions The site is zoned Industry where General Industry and Low Impact Industry are subject to Code Assessment (Consistent Use). Reconfiguring a Lot is also subject to Code Assessment. The codes applicable to the development are: Cooloola Coast Planning Area Code; Erosion and Sediment Control Code; Infrastructure Works Code; Landscaping Code; Vehicle Parking and Access Code; Reconfiguring a Lot Code; Conservation Significant Areas Code; Acid Sulfate Soils Code; and Reconfiguring a Lot Code.

Cooloola Coast Planning Area Code The proposal complies with the overall outcomes of the Code. The proposed building is 6 metres high which complies with the maximum height requirement of 10 metres and 2 storeys. A probable solution of the code requires a 6.0 metre setback from the road frontage and a 3.0 metre setback from all other boundaries. Both buildings achieve a 6.0 metre setback from the Karoonda Street frontage. A 0.0 metre setback is proposed for both buildings (on the southern and western boundaries for Lot 17) and northern and western boundaries for Lot 18. The 0.0 metre setback has been accepted previously for buildings in this industrial area. It is considered that this reduced setback is warranted in this instance to maintain the amenity of the area and maximise the use of the site. Appropriate fire separation measures will have to be implemented at the building stage for these boundaries. Erosion and Sediment Control Code Site erosion and sediment control measures will be required to be implemented during and after construction of the development. These can be conditioned on an Operational Works approval when the extent of the work can be assessed in greater detail. Infrastructure Works Code Most provisions of the code will be assessed through an Operational Works application. A condition has been included requiring roof and surface water to be collected on site and be discharged through an underground drain line to Council stormwater drainage pit in Goondi Street.


A 1.2 metre wide footpath is required by the Infrastructure Works Code but has not been imposed on other industrial developments in the area. It is considered to not be warranted in this case. Landscaping Code Landscaping for General Industry and Low Impact Industry is required along road frontages a minimum 2 metres wide and averaging 3 metres. Proposal plans nominate sufficient landscaping along frontage and car parking areas. A condition has been included requiring submission of a landscape plan prepared in accordance with Council’s relevant Planning Scheme and Policies. Vehicle Parking and Access Code The planning scheme requires the development to provide 2 spaces per tenancy and 1 space/100m2 of GFA. Two tenancies are proposed each with a GFA of 264m2. 4 + (528m2 GFA / 100) = 9.28 spaces Required spaces = 10 Proposed spaces = 10 Conservation Significant Areas Code Lot 17 contains existing vegetation and Overlay Map 4 identifies part of the lot as a Local Ecosystem Value Area. The proposal will involve clearing this vegetation, however no concerns are raised given the site is located in an industrial area. Conditions have been included relating to stormwater management, but no other issues are raised in relation to this overlay. Acid Sulfate Soils Code The overall outcome of the Code is that the natural and built environment is protected from the potential adverse effects resulting from the disturbance of actual acid sulfate soils. Contours over the site average from 15-16 metres. As a result, acid sulfate soils are not considered to be an issue. Reconfiguring a Lot Code The proposal involves the use of a shared driveway between the two sites. An access easement is proposed to be created to facilitate this. The easement is 7 metres in width which complies with the Planning Scheme requirement minimum of 6 metres.


4.0 Additional Planning Considerations Headworks Both lots are in the water and sewer supply area with connections to each lot required. Headworks contributions were paid for 15 additional industrial lots via the previous subdivision/rezoning approval. These equated to $40 140 and $23 127 for water and sewerage respectively. It is therefore recommended no headworks charges apply for this development. 5.0 Consultation

5.1 Internal

(a) Department of Engineering Services

Report: (General Manager Design Services Division – R. Chapman) This engineering report is based on the information submitted Town Planning Consultant David Sabiston, ref January 2008. TRAFFIC The site is included in the already developed industrial estate with both lots un-occupied at the present time. As the uses proposed are not dissimilar to that envisaged in the original development of this land it is considered no contributions towards external roads can be levied. FRONTAGE ROAD / ACCESS Karoonda Road is fully developed along the frontage except for a concrete footpath. However, there are no concrete footpaths in this area despite it being a requirement of the present and past planning schemes. It would therefore seem inappropriate to require a footpath for this isolated instance. There are no constructed accesses currently to each of the lots. The applicant proposes to make one combined access at the boundary of both lots with reciprocal rights for each lot. This is supported as it lessens loss of parking on the street and shares manoeuvring and parking across both sites.


FLOODING / STORMWATER The site is not subject to flooding. There is no piped drainage close to the site, with the nearest road pit some 55 metres away at the corner of Goondi Street. On these workshop type use sites it is preferable for all runoff to pass through an oil separator trap before discharge to the stormwater system. These traps require discharge to a pit. Rather than require construction in the road reserve, it would be possible to run an interallotment drain through the rear lot under the control of Council to a pit in Goondi Street. It will be necessary that the site construction levels do not cause drainage problems for any adjoining lands. WATER / SEWERAGE Both services are available with connections to each lot required. Each connection to water will require back flow prevention devices and trade waste applications for sewers. Headworks contributions may not apply depending on existing credits as the land was developed as an industrial estate. MISCELLANEOUS This area has serious deficiencies in off-street car parking. No relaxation of car parking requirements as per the Town Plan should be tolerated. Electricity and telecom services are available with street lighting adequate at this site.

Residential Land Use Entitlements and Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create 21 Lots

EXISTING ZONE: Rural LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT Impact SUBMISSIONS: Two (2)


Report: (Contract Planning Officer – S. J. Taylor) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal The proposal comprises the following two components: Component 1 – A material change of use of the land to allow land use entitlements of the Rural Residential Zone. Component 2 – Reconfiguring the land to create a total of (21) rural residential lots. 1.2 The Site

The land is regular in shape with frontage to Gympie-Woolooga Road (approx 375 metres) and Litschner Road (approx 1060m). Gympie-Woolooga Road is constructed to a two lane bitumen standard, while Litschner Road is constructed to a gravel standard. The site contains an area of 33.2 hectares and has in the past and is currently being used for cattle grazing. At the southern end of the land electricity power lines traverse the site. Considerable stands of vegetation exists on the property comprising State / Local conservation significance and having habitat value. 1.3 Surrounding Land Use The land to the east of Litschner Road is characterised by rural residential development and also to the southeast. Directly across the road is also a large parcel of land being utilised for agricultural purposes and is also zoned rural. To the north north/west and linked to the vegetation on the site is forestry. Directly across the road from the subject site in Gympie-Woolooga Road is a Council landfill facility. 1.4 Applicant’s Submission In support of the application the applicant submitted that: • “The intent of the Rural Zone in this 1997 Cooloola planning scheme goes

on to state that… ‘In such cases, favourable consideration will only be given to applications for development or subdivision which do not compromise the use of the designated area for its intended purpose.’


Given existing land use and tenure patterns surrounding the site it is unlikely that the proposal will compromise the use of the surrounding areas for their designated purposes.

• The 1997 Cooloola strategic plan scheme had designated the site as rural.

The relevant state legislation allows the approvals of development which is conflict with such a designation where there are sufficient planning grounds to support the proposal. Those grounds listed elsewhere in this report are considered to be sufficient to support this application.

• The subject site has convenient proximity to community facilities such as

schools, refuse deposal sites (i.e. the South Side tip), local parks and playgrounds (Mark Dower Park), larger regional sporting and recreational facilities (e.g. Adrian McClintock Park and showgrounds), indoor sporting facilities (e.g. The Pavilion), South Side Hockey complex (i.e. Ramsay Park), state controlled road (i.e. Gympie Woolooga Road) and good bitumen access to Gympie.

• The subject site has good proximity to community services such as school

bus routes, urban infrastructure, Gympie’s Post Office, community hall (i.e. showgrounds), telecommunication cables, reticulated electricity supply, collector roadways (Gympie Woolooga Road).

• The subject site has suitable proximity to private commercial and

recreational services and facilities such as local shopping (e.g. The Palms General Store, South Side General Store), hotel (e.g. Jockey Club), the area approved by Council for commercial development behind the Jockey Club, Gympie’s CBD, etc;

• The subject site has acceptable proximity to employment opportunities such

as South Side Industrial Area, commercial uses within South Side, and the Gympie urban area in general;

• The subject site is adjoining existing rural residential development and in

many cases closer to Gympie, community facilities and services, and employment opportunities than a considerable areas of existing rural residential development around Gympie. Settlement rates on these surrounding rural residential lots is such that relatively few vacant rural residential lots are available for purchase.

• It is suggested that from a locational perspective, using the above to

demonstrate that your site is better suited for rural residential development over considerable areas of other land currently in the Rural Residential Zone.


• The proposal does represent consolidation of existing rural residential

areas if all relevant matters are considered. These conditions include:- - the tenure of surrounding land would prohibit complete consolidation –

it is unreasonable to suggest that all surrounding land should all be development for rural residential purposes when there are extensive areas of State land immediately around the site such as the State Forest and allocated state land (i.e. Cooloola Council’s gravel reserve/refuse tip);

- the extent of land that is subject to flooding would also prohibit complete consolidation – it is not possible for all surrounding land to be developed for rural residential purposes; and

- the development of considerable areas are constrained from obtaining normal lot yields for rural residential development due to overlays on the Cooloola planning scheme and State planning considerations such as vegetation management matters. Matters such a vegetation management has become more complicated for rural residential development since the planning scheme was compiled. It would appear that the zones maps in the Cooloola planning scheme have understandably not accurately considered these constraints as they currently exist.

- existing land uses and land ownership patterns must also be considered and these include multiple lots held in a single rural holding and access water supply for irrigation. Some of the undeveloped rural land in the general vicinity of the site are flood proned, contain good quality alluvial agricultural land and currently used for rural pursuits and would be able to continue to operate without any land use conflicts as a result of the proposal”.



2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 State Planning Policies SPP1/92 - The development site only contains a small section of Good Quality Agricultural Land, as identified in the Strategic Plan and shown on the map following. Much of this area is covered by a power easement and proposed to be contained within the large balance area lot 14.

Given the size of the designation, and location, the intent of State Planning Policy 1/92 is not considered compromised by the proposal. No other State Planning Policies are considered applicable. 2.2 Strategic Plan The site is largely designated Rural under the Strategic Plan of the 1997 planning scheme, which ‘aims to preserve rural land not required for other forms of development in the interests of maintaining rural production and the predominant rural character of the Shire.’


Subdivision of the site is not foreshadowed by this Strategy and the proposal is considered in conflict with the planning scheme. 2.3 Planning Scheme Provisions The application was lodged prior to the current 2005 Planning Scheme and the following assessment is in line with the 1997 Cooloola Planning Scheme. The site is zoned Rural under the 1997 planning scheme, where the minimum lot size for new lots is 100 hectares. The application does not comply with the subdivision of land provisions in the scheme as it proposes lots less than the minimum lot size and dimensions. The 1997 Cooloola Planning Scheme zones the site as Rural and the intent of this zone states: “This zone is intended to conserve areas of agricultural, open space and scenic significance and to allow for the conduct of a broad range of rural activities. It is also intended to preserve some land for future urban, rural residential or other purposes designated in the Strategic Plan or a Development control Plan”. Under the Integrated Planning Act the proposal is impact assessment. 2.4 Council’s Local Laws and Policies The Subdivision Design Policy is applicable to the application, which prescribes minimum development standards for subdivisions in the applicable zones. In the rural zone, the provisions are as follows: Minimum Area 100 Ha Minimum Frontage (F) 100m Minimum Rectangle n/a Maximum Frontage to Depth Ratio 1:3 Lead-in Roads 2 lane gravel Frontage Roads 2 lane gravel Services Nil


As the applicant has applied for land use entitlements of the rural residential zone the follow standards should apply to any approval: Minimum Area 6 000m2 Minimum Frontage (F) 50 m Minimum Rectangle 40m x 50m Maximum Frontage to Depth Ratio 1:3 Lead-in Roads 2 lane bitumen Frontage Roads 2 lane bitumen New Roads Services Nil 2.5 Integrated Planning Act Given the location of the site the following referral agencies were applicable:

• Queensland Department of Main Roads as a Concurrence Agency; and • Department of Natural Resources & Water

Having regard for the electricity power lines traversing the site, the application was also referred to Power Link as an advice agency. All agencies have issued conditions and request they be attached to any approval. 3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Future Needs of Locality Any strategic direction to allow the land use entitlements for the Rural Residential zone should also be based on an analysis of need and subdivision constraints to rural residential development. The issues that need to be addressed relate to: • Appropriateness of the proposal and need. • Application of constraints such as vegetation/environmental significance and

threat of bushfire to lot yield. In consideration of appropriateness of the proposal and need, the area is considered a logical extension of the existing rural residential land to the east, particularly as it is bound to the west by State Forest Land which is a natural buffer to any further extension beyond the subject site. However, there are significant vegetation / environmental and bushfire issues that need to be addressed.


An investigation into surrounding rural residential estates revealed the following vacant lots as follows: Estate No. of Vacant Lots Pie Creek 48 The Palms 44 Scrubby Creek 9 Widgee Crossing South 4 Nahrunda (Adjoining site to proposed development) Nil The Palms and Pie Creek subdivisions are more remote from the commercial centre of Gympie than the subject site and this site does meet the Rural Residential criteria. In view of the above it could be agreed there is a need for further Rural Residential allotments at this locality. 3.2 Vegetation - Environmental Constraints The site contains significant strands of vegetation which are linked to the adjoining forestry land to the north/west. Council’s overlay mapping identifies that the site is largely within an identified koala habitat area forming one of the largest intact patches of koala habitat remaining and within a regionally significant ecosystem value area. Urban development and habitat clearing and fragmentation are identified as the biggest threats to the species. In addition to the above the Red Goshawk (Erythsolriorchis radiatus) has been documented as inhabiting the adjoining land parcel (less than 500 metres away). This species is listed as endangered in Queensland under the “Nature Conservation Act 1992” and vulnerable nationally under the “Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999”. The largest threat to their survival has been clearing for urban development, agriculture and forestry. The site is also contained within a bush fire prone area and from a fire risk perspective, threat to people and property would be significant from the adjoining forestry land to the north and north/west.


3.3 Subdivision Design Relevant to the assessment of this application is Council’s Policy No PR-PD-2 – Subdivision design. Section 3.0 – Determination of Subdivision Entitlement stipulates prerequisites that must be satisfied. The following prerequisites are significant to this proposal: • “In most cases the land is to be located within an area designated for the

intended purpose of that subdivision.” Comment: The subject site is not designated for Rural Residential, however, its locality from a planning perspective does create a logical extension of the rural residential area particularly as the State Forest to the west forms a natural barrier to further expansion and the land is classified as Class “B” Good Quality Agricultural Land. • A genuine community need has been established for rural residential area

subdivision. Comment. See previous comment “Further Needs of Locality”.

• Development can occur in a manner which respects the constraints and

opportunities identified in Scheme’s Planning study including, flooding, steep slopes, acid sulphate soils, and significant vegetation.

Comment: As previously indicated the proposed subdivision is within a locality

identified as koala habitat and small patches of local and state significant vegetation towards the southern boundary of the site. The vegetation also has significant habitat values for the endangered Red Goshawk.

• Under the 1997 Planning Scheme and proposed reconfiguration of a lot

should have regard in the site analysis for fire hazard. Comment: The subject site is contained in a bushfire prone area and through on site investigation, potential fire hazard exists from forest land to the north and north/west of the proposed subdivision. In assessing the subdivision layout submitted and applying fire management principles of asset protection zones and adequate access and exits for fire fighters and residents during a fire event the following design issues are raised:

• Proposed road layout does not allow adequate access areas for fire fighters and only one exit for residents during a fire event particularly those lots accessed by cul-de-sacs if cut off by fire with a high possibility of loss of property and life;


• Having regard for the above, the establishment of asset protection zones within properties accessed via cul-de-sacs would not be effective if roads were cut off; and

• Clearing of vegetation to create building platforms would erode vegetation crucial to the maintenance of habitat values.

4.0 CONSULTATION

4.1 Internal

a) Design Department

Report: (General Manager Design Services Division - R. Chapman) This engineering report is based on the report submitted by Martoo Consulting to

obtain Rural Residential land use entitlement over Lot 11 RP 865286 (Litschner Road) and subdivide the said lot into 21 lots. This application was applied for under the ‘old’ Planning Scheme (1997) and the relevant Council Policies.

LEAD-IN ROAD / FRONTAGE ROAD Glastonbury Road (Gympie Woolooga Road) leading to and fronting the

proposed development is a Declared Road and as such the application was referred to the Department of Main Roads as Concurrence Agency for comments. Its response included Conditions and Statement of Reasons to be included with Council’s conditions. Although not included in the Department’s conditions, Council should apply a condition that no access be allowed to Glastonbury Road from proposed lots 1, 6 & 7 which all have internal road frontage.

Litschner Road fronting the proposed lots is constructed to a gravel standard.

From Council’s Planning Scheme, the frontage road should be constructed to a two lane bitumen sealed standard. However, as with previous applications where there is potential for lots on the other side of the road to be further developed, Council has only required the frontage road to be constructed to a half width construction, ie 5.0 metre seal on a 8 metre formation for this standard of road in the Rural Residential Zone. The new road openings will be required to be designed and constructed to meet the requirements of the Planning Scheme.

Lots 4, 9, 10 & 17 will be required to be redesigned to ensure the angle of the

entry points at these locations is at 90 degrees or not less than 70 degrees in the favoured direction of traffic. Road widening to Litschner Road will be required in proposed lots 20 and 21 for an offset cul-de-sac turnaround area and not into the adjoining lot 3 on W3761.

Proposed lots 6, 7 & 13 & 18 will require a sealed access along the battle axe

handle. Lot 21 will be left with 250 metres of unconstructed road frontage if approved as proposed. Litschner Road should be constructed for a further 130 metres to avoid road reservation being lost to the building area of lot 21 and to facilitate future development of Lot 3 W 3761.


Two new road names will need to be approved in accordance with Council’s

Policy. There are environmental concerns such as koalas that will require special

treatment of road designs for specific traffic calming as well as crossing points. A master plan for the road environment is needed before detail design progresses.

CONTRIBUTION Although the existing lot and Litschner Rd is not within Sealed Road

Contribution area for Policy 12 of the present Planning Scheme, Council should apply a current contribution amount of $9,983 per additional lot for roads upgrading, equivalent to the amount as set for the said Policy.

EFFLUENT DISPOSAL Geotechnical assessments submitted by SCG Consulting Engineers revealed secondary treatment (on-site treatment plants) will be required for all proposed lots.

STORMWATER DRAINAGE / FLOODING

Stormwater drainage or flooding should not be a problem with the proposed lots, with only the lower part of lot 21 affected by Q100 floods. Drainage discharge points with easements will be required where the civil design dictates with special consideration given to protecting existing creek/gully vegetation and stream regions to support existing wildlife.

OTHER SERVICES The applicant will be required to provide power and telecommunication services

to the proposed lot. Powerlink as an advice agency has confirmed the construction of additional

power line through preposed lots 14 and 21, which will require new easements in favour of Powerlink. Separation distances to habitable dwellings also apply which will limit the building area available on proposed lot 21.

SUBMISSIONS

The engineering concerns regarding traffic speeds and dust during construction raised in one of the submissions will be addressed in the relevant conditions placed on the development. 4.2 External a) Department of Natural Resources and Water

Relevant conditions have been provided for inclusion in an approval.


b) Department of Main Roads

Relevant conditions have been provided for inclusion in an approval. c) Powerlink Queensland

Relevant conditions have been provided for inclusion in an approval. 5.0 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION The application was publicly advertised in accordance with the Integrated Planning Act 1997 and two submissions were received. The grounds for objection are outlined below. Submitters Issues Staff Response Concerns for koala colonies & wallabies. - if these animals survive clearing –

chance that cats and dogs on the new inhabitants will kill them.

- Forestry Reserve is a Koala Reserve

Dust generated during construction significant impact on tank water. - Intersection Litschner &

Glastonbury Road dangerous. - Increased traffic - Loss of privacy – excess noise

with clearing of 21 lots.

Valid objection having regard for local & state significant habitat values. Appropriate conditions can be imposed in any approval granted to control/manage concerns. Department of Main Roads require upgrading of intersection if approval is granted. No significant impact perceived.

6.0 CONCLUSION From a planning perspective the expansion of the rural residential zone can be supported. However any future subdivision of this land should be restricted to the cleared sections of the property and the following design criteria implemented:


• No clearing of vegetation – all proposed building platforms to occur outside

of vegetation lines incorporating a 30 metre asset protection zone consisting of a cleared section of 10 metres to the dwelling and a sparsely vegetated zone of 20 metres to the edge of existing vegetation.

• Road network not to include cul-de-sac design to ensure residents can safely leave their property during a fire event.

• Any internal roadwork network system should incorporate primary and secondary access points.

Due to the considerable loss of lot yield with the imposition of the above constraints, consideration could be given to allowing some lessor lot sizes below the 6,000m2 minimum standard within the Planning Scheme in any further reconfiguration application, to align closely with the lot yield proposed.

P13/05/08 Moved: Cr G.L. Engeman Seconded: Cr A.J. Perrett

FILE: Minute: P14/05/08 DA17441 APPLICANT: Tilac Pty Ltd LANDOWNER: Tilac Pty Ltd as Trustee RPD: Lot 6 & Lot 7 on MPH24023 SITE: 262 & 264 Brisbane Rd, Monkland PROPOSAL: Material Change of Use - General

Industry (Industrial Sheds) EXISTING ZONE: Community PLANNING AREA: Gympie LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code Assessable (Inconsistent Use)

Report: (Planning Officer – M. K. Matthews)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Proposal

This application is for a Material Change of Use for General Industry on land zoned for Community uses. It is proposed that this development will have two tenancies; however the specific tenants are not known. The proposal would also require appropriate filling of the site. The applicant currently owns both lots involved in the application.


1.2 Site Description

The subject site is generally cleared, but does have a deep gully running north to south through both of the subject lots. The entire site is below the Q100 and Q50 flood event lines, and only a small portion of Lot 7 in the south-west corner is above the Q40 flood event line.


1.3 Surrounding Land Uses

The contextual setting of the subject site is that there is an adjoining Council reserve surrounding the subject site on the same side of Brisbane Road, as well as the nearby duck ponds that are zoned for community purposes. Other industrial uses exist opposite the site and an industrial estate is south of the site on Brisbane Road.

1.4 Site History

In 2002, a Material Change of Use application was lodged with Council for Light Industry for a Bread Distribution Depot over the subject site. The proposal was refused on the following grounds: • A need for additional industrial land in the locality was not demonstrated; • The proposal was in conflict with Council’s Planning Scheme; • Suitable planning grounds to justify approval were not provided; and • The proposal had the potential to compromise future intentions for the

use and/or development of nearby sites in the Park and Recreation Zone at the time.

In 2006, a Material Change of Use application was granted by Council for General Industry for Industrial Sheds over the subject site. The current application is required as a significant difference in floor area is proposed to that previously approved and therefore triggers different assessment requirements including car parking etc. 2.0 PLANNING SCHEME REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Gympie Planning Area Code

This proposal is for General Industry, which is an inconsistent use in the Community Zone of the Gympie Planning Area. Despite this, it is considered the use can be supported because: • The site is adjoined by a large reserve; • Other industrial uses exist in the immediate area; • The site is subject to flooding and is not suitable for residential

development; • The development does not raise any amenity concerns; • There is an existing approval over the site (DA12813 Material Change of

Use – General Industry), therefore Council has previously considered and agreed to these parcels of land for this intended use.


This proposal is Code Assessable development and subject to assessment under the Gympie Planning Area Code, Erosion and Sediment Control Code, Infrastructure Works Code, Landscaping Code, and Vehicle Parking and Access Code. General Industry is classified as an inconsistent use in the Community Zone. The applicant submits that surrounding businesses in a 500m radius to the site are a restoration car shop, car wash, service station, swimming pool and spa accessories shop, camping store, saw mill, mine office and a crematorium. The applicant believes that the premises will be well suited to the area with a wide range of businesses in the surrounding area.

Relevant conditions have been included to ensure compliance with lighting, noise emissions and dust. The Department of Main Roads has conditioned the development to one point of access only. The road access location generally as shown on the plan submitted with the application is the permitted road access location. A further condition of development is that a fence and landscaped buffer is to be established within the site and along the northern boundary of the property such that vehicular access through the site to and from the gravel track running parallel to the northern boundary of the site does not occur. The proposal is situated on lots that fall below the Q 100 and Q 50 flood event line, and only a small portion of Lot 7 in the south-west corner is above the Q 40 flood event line. The applicant proposes to fill the site substantially to counter these issues, however the garages will then sit much higher than natural ground level.

2.2 Erosion and Sediment Control Code

Relevant conditions have been imposed on the Operational Works approval.

2.3 Infrastructure Works Code Access to Brisbane Road is conditioned by the Department of Main Roads to only one point. A footpath is conditioned to be constructed along the full road frontage of the site.

2.4 Landscaping Code

Landscaping is required along the road frontage. The Department of Main Roads has conditioned landscaping along the side boundary of this proposal. All will be undertaken in accordance with approved plans.


2.5 Vehicle Parking and Access Code

The parking requirements for general industry are for 2 spaces per tenancy plus 1 space per 100m2 of Gross Floor Area (GFA). The applicant indicates that there are 2 tenancies in his proposal. The GFA of this proposal is approximately 1656 square metres, requiring 16 car parking spaces plus 2 per tenancy. The total number of car parks required is 20. The applicant indicates 21 car parks on his plan; which complies with Planning Scheme requirements. Loading and unloading areas are available.

3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

Headworks

The site is currently connected to reticulated water and sewerage. There are no site improvements on this parcel of land, therefore no credits exist and appropriate headworks charges apply.

4.0 CONSULTATION

4.1 Internal

(a) Design Department

Report: (Technical Officer – A.C. Walsh)

This engineering report is based on the information submitted by Suburban Engineering Solutions Pty Ltd. TRAFFIC The traffic generation figures submitted by the consultant appear to be very low considering the gross floor area (1,656m2) of the proposed development. Based on the accepted rate of 4 vehicle trips per 100m2 for general industry uses equates to 66 trips per day compared to the 28 trips provided by the consultant. The contribution figure based on the accepted rate with credit for the existing dwelling is $1590. With other applications that front Declared roads, Council has required a contribution of 50% of the normal rate ie $795. FRONTAGE ROAD / ACCESS

The site has frontage to Brisbane Road (Tin Can Bay Road) and was referred to the Department of Main Roads for its assessment as the Concurrence Agency and subsequent incorporation of its conditions in the approval.


Brisbane Road is constructed to a two lane bitumen standard with kerb and

channel of the western side however kerb and channel and associated drainage works will be required to be constructed to the frontage of the proposed development. Kerb and channel and access to be constructed to the requirements of Council’s Planning Scheme Policies.

INTERNAL ACCESS / PARKING The internal driveway, turnaround and parking areas will be required to be

designed and constructed to allow for rigid delivery vehicles to enter/exit the proposed development in a forward direction, as required by Council’s Planning Scheme. FILLING OF LOT

The applicant proposes to fill the lots from natural ground level at the road boundary on the southern boundary to 1.8 metres on the northern boundary and filling through the gully area to a height of 3.0 – 4.5 metres. Filling should be carried out to meet the requirements of AS3798 – Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Developments.

It is proposed to install stormwater drainage with the capacity to cater for a Q100

rainfall event in the natural gully area. An easement for discharge rights and entry headwater would be required over this

drainage area and the land downstream and upstream as flows are to be concentrated at the boundary.

WATER SUPPLY AND SEWERAGE

Both services are available with adequate capacity in each. Headworks charges should be applicable based on Council’s policy.

Existing water service to be upgraded to cater for proposed development. Council’s sewers (one being a trunk main above ground) and manholes are

located on the lot in the vicinity of the proposed boulder walls along the northern boundary. Council’s Water and Sewerage Division advises the filling over the sewer and the boulder retaining wall would be acceptable, however final assessment would be done at the Operational Works stage.


The site slopes away from Brisbane Road. However stormwater runoff should not cause any problems to the adjoining lot - Retort House Reserve area.

The proposed development is sited on lots below the Minimum Habitable Floor

Level however an adequate escape route is available to the proposed industrial buildings.


OTHER SERVICES

Power and telecommunication services are available to the proposed development. As street lighting is inadequate at this location a contribution of $1,000 is required. 4.2 External

(a) Department of Main Roads

The application was referred to the Department of Main Roads who have issued conditional approval.

5.0 CONCLUSION

This proposal is for General Industry, which is an inconsistent use in the Community Zone of the Gympie Planning Area. The use can be supported despite being an ‘Inconsistent Use’ because: • The site is adjoined by a large reserve; • Other industrial uses exist in the immediate area; • The site is subject to flooding and is not suitable for residential

development; • The development does not raise any amenity concerns.

2/6 DA17790 – Material Change of Use of Premises – Multi-Residential (Four

Townhouses) – 14 Suncrest Court, Southside – D. Crawford FILE NO: Minute: P15/05/08 DA17790 APPLICANT: Des Crawford LANDOWNER: Bakada Pty Ltd RPD: Lot 215 SP179154 SITE ADDRESS: 14 Suncrest Court, Southside CURRENT USE OF LAND: Vacant PROPOSAL: Material Change of Use – Multi

Residential (Four Dwelling Units) ZONE: Housing PLANNING AREA: Gympie LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code


Report: (Environmental Planning Officer – K.M. Toomey) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal This application seeks a development permit for four (4) townhouse style units over two storeys. Each unit is proposed to consist of three (3) bedrooms and a double garage. Additional areas for visitor car parking and a combination of both private and communal open space areas are proposed to be incorporated within the development.





1.2 Site Description The site is 1 586m2 in area and is currently vacant. The lot contains a sparse vegetation covering which is not mapped as significant for conservation purposes. The site is located at the head of a cul-de-sac and has the possibility of dual road access from Suncrest Court and the secondary access being Stumm Road which is currently a 3.5 metre sealed single lane rural type road. Neither road forms part of a public transport route. The allotment is located in the housing area on the Southside and is approximately 3km from the Gympie CBD and approximately 1km from the nearest allocated preferred mixed housing area. 1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Surrounding land uses are predominantly of a residential nature, accommodating for the most part single storey detached dwelling houses. 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Intent of the Zone The Housing Zone aims to provide a range of housing forms, with a high level of amenity and well designed, attractive medium density housing in proximity to services and public transport. The site is located within the Housing Zone and as the proposal is for a Multi-Residential development (more than two dwellings) and is not in the Mixed Housing Preferred Use Area, the use is considered ‘inconsistent’. The applicant has provided the following justification in support of the proposal: ‘It is accepted that the proposed use, being four dwellings located on a single title, is defined as a multiple residential use (inconsistent)(“More than two dwellings”) in accordance with the Gympie Planning Area assessment Table 4.4. It is also noted, that if the application were for a “dual occupancy” (not a Cooloola planning scheme term), or two dwellings only the application would not be seen as inconsistent.


The subject site (1,585m2) has two frontages and may effectively be considered as two sites just under 800m2 each. Were this the case, an MCU over each site for a second dwelling would not be considered ‘inconsistent’. Further, the 4 units are designed as two separated dual occupancies and are on two separate “levels”, with alternate orientation and design. (Refer to Elevations). These buildings do not have the appearance of multiple unit residences, but of two individual developments particularly when viewed from either of the access roads. Considered as two (2) duplex dwellings, each “site” would not meet the minimum area of 800m2 required for second dwellings under PS-17 of the Multiple Residential Code. However, the variation or conflict with this measure is minor (1,585/2 = 792.5m2 per “site” available, less than 10%). The relevant performance Criteria SO17 could still be achieved – with each “site” having sufficient area to provide for the use without having significant adverse effects on the amenity of the users of the surrounding lots. Accordingly, if the application were two MCUs for two sites of two dwellings each, the applications would meet the Code requirements and would be approved. The subject proposal would have no greater impact and no different appearance or effect than the above described, acceptable, situation. The application otherwise achieves the requirements under the relevant assessment Codes. It may be considered that for this case, given the equivalent density to an acceptable development form, the building separation, change of plane/level, orientation and separate accesses provided per unit building, that the nature of the conflict with the planning scheme may be considered minor. The ‘inconsistency’ may be considered to arise only from a ‘technical’ aspect – that being the single title of 1,585m2, rather than 2 separate titles. All other aspects of the development proposed are exactly as would otherwise be achieved for 2 titles and 2 individual MCU applications. The application otherwise achieves all aspects of the Code provisions. The proposal will provide a more affordable and varied housing option in the housing zone for persons not able or not wishing to purchase a traditional housing allotment but still wanting to reside in a standard residential area. The proposal also makes best use of the land parcel’s orientation, access and dimensions, as well as existing infrastructure. Provision of some varied housing stock within the capabilities of Council’s infrastructure systems is a desired outcome for the Shire in both land use and social planning contexts. These outcomes may be considered proper planning grounds for consideration as they include a public interest aspect.


In summary the grounds for approval despite the conflict with the planning scheme are thus; 1 The development would otherwise be considered acceptable under the

Codes were the subject site divided 2 The nature of the conflict is therefore considered “minor” only 3 The development otherwise achieves the relevant Code provisions 4 The reasons for approval include that the application could be approved

as two separate uses were the land divided, that no unacceptable impacts will occur, that the application makes best use of the site for housing stock variation and is supported by existing infrastructure

5 The reasons for approval meet the definition of planning “grounds” under IPA

6 The grounds provided are considered sufficient to justify the approval despite the conflict, given the relatively minor nature of the conflict.”

The proposal does not indicate any intention to subdivide the lot as part of this application. If this were the case it may be possible to achieve a duplex development on the allotment fronting Stumm Road, dependant upon the necessary amenity issues being addressed and the required infrastructure upgrades being undertaken (see Design report for further details). Issues with scale and density would however, be valid concerns for a proposal of this nature. Stumm Road consists of large allotments all in excess of 2000m2 and the majority of allotments in this area have limited potential for re-subdivision, given the central positioning of the existing dwellings. Further, it is considered unlikely that a subdivided allotment fronting the cul-de-sac at Suncrest Court would receive approval for a duplex type development, given the high quality of existing single detached residences located within the street, level of community expectation and the current housing density within the immediate area. Few examples of multi-residential development proposing in excess of two (2) dwelling units have been approved under Council’s current Planning Scheme, outside of the Mixed Housing Preferred Use Area. Those done so were approved on valid planning grounds including: (i) the site’s close proximity to a major collector road as opposed to a low

order access road; and (ii) the site’s convenient proximity to public transport, services and the

Central Business District. Neither of these grounds are considered to apply to this site and therefore a multi-residential development with four (4) dwelling units positioned upon a narrow 1 585m2 allotment would be considered out of context within this area.


2.2 Compliance with the Planning Scheme 2.2.1 Scheme Definition As the application involves more than one dwelling, it is classified as ‘Multi-Residential’ by the planning scheme. 2.2.2 Development Provisions – Material Change of Use Applications for Multi-Residential uses in the Housing Area are Code Assessable against the following codes. Gympie Planning Area Code Effects of Use Due to the narrowness of the site and the proposed two storey units, the development is considered unlikely to achieve the amenity requirements set out in the code. Provision and Effects of Works The proposal complies with the number of storeys and is less than the maximum height requirement of 8.5 metres. See assessment below in Multi-residential Code. Multi Residential Code Site coverage for the development is 22%, below the 40% maximum nominated in the planning scheme. The plot ratio also meets scheme requirements. Each dwelling unit provides between 18m2 and 21m2 of covered private open space and additional private courtyards are provided for each of the units. This is considered acceptable with regard to the Specific Outcomes. Communal open space areas are to be provided at the rate of 0.2m2 per square metre of Gross Floor Area. The proposal exceeds this requirement. Refuse storage areas are proposed to be located at individual locations to the rear of each unit. For a development of this nature a combined refuse storage area and wash down facility is required. Maximum height in the Gympie Planning Area for the Housing Zone is 8.5 metres and two storeys. The proposal is two storey and achieves the maximum height requirements on all elevations. Dwelling intensity complies with requirements of one (1) dwelling per 250m2 of site area proposing four dwellings for a 1 586m2 lot.


The building does not achieve minimum setbacks in accordance with the planning scheme provisions for multi-residential development and concern is raised over the buildings ability to maximise visual and acoustic privacy for occupants and loss of visual and acoustic privacy for adjoining users. A greater density of landscaping and fencing than that proposed would be required to limit the impact on privacy from the lower storey living spaces. It is however, considered unlikely that either of these measures would address the impact on privacy of the second storey overlooking adjoining residences. The building articulation is also questionable due to the two storey nature of the development in relation to the predominately single storey detached dwelling houses surrounding the site. It is also considered that in order to create a higher level of visual interest, proposed Units 1 and 2 would be better oriented to front Suncrest Court. Concern is raised in terms of the increased traffic generated by this development on the safety and efficiency of the surrounding road network and the ability of Suncrest Court to absorb the additional load. Stumm Road would need to be upgraded to an urban standard to support access from a multi-residential development (refer to Design Department report for further details). Erosion and Sediment Control Code No conflict is raised with the code. Appropriate sediment control measures would be able to be conditioned at the operational works stage should the Material Change of Use application be approved. Landscaping Code Landscaping provisions for multi-residential development include: - 2 metres wide averaging 3 metres wide along all frontages where

buildings are not built to the boundary; - minimum 2 metres wide along each side and rear boundary where

buildings are not built to boundary; and - car parking areas landscaped with shade trees. The proposal does not currently comply with these requirements and an amended plan showing a significant increase in the proposed density of landscaping, would therefore need to be submitted.


Infrastructure Works Code

The property is not able to fully command sewerage and an extension of Council’s sewer main by approximately 190 metres would be required to facilitate the development. The site has a single connection point allocated for reticulated water supply. Connection to these services will be required in addition to headworks charges. A credit would be applicable for one dwelling unit.

Stumm road would also require upgrading to an urban standard and a footpath

would also be required to be constructed along this frontage (refer to Design Department report for further details). A street light would also be required along the Stumm Road frontage. Vehicle Parking and Access Code The overall outcomes of this code are the provision of sufficient vehicle parking for users of the premises on site, adequate circulation space within the site and safe and efficient movement of vehicles at ingress or egress points. The Planning Scheme nominates a car parking requirement of 1.5 spaces per dwelling for multi-residential development. For this development this equates to six spaces. The proposal exceeds the requirements of the code by nominating eight covered car parking spaces and three additional uncovered spaces for visitor use. 2.3 Local and/or State Planning Policies There are no local or state planning policies applicable to this application. Local policies relating to landscaping, water supply and sewerage headworks are applicable. 3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Appropriateness of the Proposal The application proposes four units in the housing zone. The location is considered to be inappropriate for a multi-residential development. 3.2 Impact on Amenity Due to the narrowness of the allotment, the proposed two storey dwelling units are likely to have a significant impact on the privacy currently enjoyed within the living areas of the adjoining dwelling houses.


The majority of dwelling houses in the general area are single storey and as such the development proposal is likely to impact negatively on the level of existing amenity within the Estate. Additionally, proposed units 1 and 2 have not been oriented towards the street frontage and the Southern elevation offers little in the way of architectural features or visual interest. The proposal is not considered to positively contribute to the streetscape within Suncrest Court. Units 1 and 2 both have a ground floor terrace area of approximately 15m2 and a ground floor porch area of approximately 6m2 for balcony and Units 3 and 4 both have an upper floor terrace area of approximately 18m2. Given this size it is possible that excessive noise will be generated from these areas toward the nearby dwellings. These areas are set back between 1.8 - 2 metres from the side boundaries and would require fencing and landscaping to counteract any excessive noise impacts. 3.3 Site Access and Traffic The site is located at the head of a cul-de-sac on Suncrest Court and the possibility exists for an additional access point on to Stumm Road. The development has proposed Unit 1 and 2 to obtain street access via Suncrest Court and Units 3 and 4 are to obtain street access via Stumm Road. The proposed use will generate additional traffic on both roads and a contribution for this would be justified (refer Design report for further details). 3.4 Carparking Car parking meets the requirements of Council’s Planning Scheme, with a total of 11 spaces provided.

3.5 Flooding The site is not known to be subject to flooding. 3.6 Need for Increased Community Services and Facilities Council does not currently levy park and recreation contributions for unit developments. 3.7 Site Contamination The site is not listed on the Environmental Management Register.


3.8 Utilities and Services The site is presently serviced by reticulated water and sewerage and headworks charges are applicable in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 7 – Water Supply and Sewerage Headworks Contributions, Works External and Works Internal. Credit exists for one dwelling house. 4.0 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Due to the level of assessment for the application, formal public notification was not required. Council, however, sent letters to residents in the vicinity of the development site advising them of the proposal. As a result five (5) individual replies and one (1) petition containing 13 signatures were received. Concerns generally included a loss of privacy and amenity and increased traffic flow to the area. Further details are provided below. 4.1 Grounds for Submission Submitter issue

Staff Comments

‘Inappropriate zoning’. Valid Comment. Multi-residential developments are considered an ‘inconsistent’ use within the Housing Zone. Refer to report above for further comments.

‘Inconsistent with designer built housing already in the area.’

Valid Comment. The elevation facing Suncrest Court offers little in the way of architectural features or visual interest. Refer to report above for further comments.

‘Site does not have full access to sewerage.’

Valid Comment. The site currently does not fully command sewerage. However sewerage is attainable to the site if a Sewer Main extension of approximately 190 metres is constructed. Refer to Design report for further comments.


‘The immediate area is not within the mixed housing precinct and therefore the proposed development does not meet the requirements of Council’s Planning Scheme’.

Valid Comment. Refer to the report above for further comments.

‘Increased traffic flow to the area created by residential townhouses. A primary consideration for us purchasing our block of land was that it was in a quiet residential cul-de-sac’.

Valid Comment. An attempt has been made by the applicant to minimise traffic impact by allowing access to Suncrest Court for Units 1 and 2 and allowing access to Stumm Road for Units 3 and 4. See Design report for further comments.

‘No “user friendly” visitor carparking is provided for in the development although the proposed parking may meet Council’s Planning Scheme requirements. Given that the proposed development is at the end of the cul-de-sac we believe that additional on street car parking generated by this proposal will impede the turning movements of cars using this street’.

The visitor carparking meets the requirements of Council’s Planning Scheme and appears to be of a functional design. The possibility of Suncrest Court being utilised for additional on-street car parking is a valid concern.

‘The proposal will be an attractive, well thought out use of the block in question.’

This engineering report is based on the information submitted by the applicant

with drawings provided by Mark Bain Constructions Drawing Nos 6012/1, 6012/2 and 6012/3.


TRAFFIC Three bedroom units are considered equivalent to a residential house. Hence

this proposal results in a contribution at the current rate of $284/lot of $852. FRONTAGE / ACCESS The site has frontage to both Stumm Road of 36 metres and Suncrest Court of

16.5 metres. The Stumm Road frontage is a 3.5 metre sealed single lane rural type road and Suncrest Court fully constructed to Council's urban road standards as part of the Bakada development.

Stumm Road requires widening to suit an urban type road cross section with

kerb and channel and associated stormwater drainage placed at 6.0 metres from the existing road centreline with 1 on 10 tapers at each end. A concrete footpath/bikeway should also be provided along this frontage. However, because of the topography along this section of the road, kerb and channel should be laid along the existing bitumen edge with the widening along the opposite edge so that the road is ultimately shifted away from the steep footpaths on the southern side of the road.

The Stumm Road frontage will require an access to be constructed as per

Council's standards. FLOODING / STORMWATER The site is not subject to flooding. Most of the site falls towards Stumm Road

with site stormwater to be collected and piped to drainage to be constructed in association with the frontage roadworks.

WATER SUPPLY The site is within the water service area with only one connection point

allowed. An upgraded water service with internal metering will be required. Headworks charges will apply. SEWERAGE The site is within the sewer service area but only because the top 10% part of

the property can be connected to sewer by gravity. In order to connect the balance (other than by a temporary on-site pump-out system) will require an extension of the sewer along Stumm Road of approximately 190 metres. This would enable five existing lots to be connected to sewerage for which Council may be required to contribute.

Headworks charges will apply. MISCELLANEOUS Electricity and telecom facilities are available. A street light should be

provided to the Stumm Road frontage.


SUBMISSIONS The numerous submissions that have been received are mainly of a town

planning nature, although additional traffic in the Suncrest Court cul-de-sac has been raised. This could be overcome by requiring all access off Stumm Road which is a much more direct route to the city than via the internal subdivision streets. 5.2 EXTERNAL CONSULTATION No Concurrence or Advice Agencies were applicable to the proposal. Therefore no external consultation was required to be undertaken.

6.0 CONCLUSION The use of the site for multi-residential development within this location and zoning is considered inappropriate. Areas of non-compliance include: (i) The site is located within the incorrect zoning for multi-residential

development, is not supported by the Planning Scheme and sufficient grounds have not been provided to warrant approval of the proposal;

(ii) The site is currently one (1) parcel of land and within the Housing Zone the maximum yield would be a single duplex.

(iii) The proposal is likely to have a negative impact on the amenity and privacy of adjoining residences;

(iv) The proposal contributes little in the way of visual interest and attractiveness to the streetscape within Suncrest Court;

(v) The proposal is likely to generate increased traffic within Suncrest Court which is a cul-de-sac.

(vi) Neither road frontage forms part of a current public transport route. (vii) The site is not within convenient proximity to services and the Central

Business District; (viii) The development is contrary to community expections for the area and

was subject to numerous submissions.

2/7 Request to Change an Existing Approval for Material Change of Use (To

Apply Land Use Entitlements of the Rural Residential Zone) and Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create 51 Additional Lots in Four (4) Stages – 720 Old Maryborough Road, Tamaree – Belle Investments Pty Ltd Re: Minute: P16/05/08 Request to Change an Existing Approval From: Belle Investments Pty Ltd Site: 720 Old Maryborough Road, Tamaree File: DA11518 Date: 21 January, 2008

Report: (Interim Manager Development & Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 Introduction A development permit for material change of use and reconfiguring a lot was issued over this site in September 2006.


2.0 Request to Change A ‘request to change’ the approval was submitted on 21 January 2008 to permit the following:


(i) amendment to condition 1 to acknowledge a modified proposal plan incorporating new staging arrangements, creation of lot 56 for emergency access and a road connection between stages 3 and 4 following the landowner’s purchase and approved boundary alteration of this land;

(ii) removal of condition 15 in relation to salinity risk; and (iii) modification of condition 31 deleting the requirement to build the

unnamed road to Tamaree Road and including a requirement to dedicate the emergency access lot to Council at no cost.

In support of the request the applicant has submitted: - an amended proposal plan (inserted below); - a planning report to justify the changes; and - a Salinity Assessment report prepared by Golder Associates.


With regard to condition 31, the applicant’s consultant submits the following in support of the amended road layout (ie cul-de-sac with all traffic for the estate to enter and exit via Old Maryborough Road):


‘Condition 31 The original development approval was issued over Lot 1 MPH 2377 and Lot 1 MPH 30807. The Applicant has since purchased, at considerable cost, the interconnecting property Lot 2 MPH 30886 and Lot 1 MPH 14195. The original development approval DA 11518 required the construction of an access to Old Maryborough Road and a separate access to Tamaree Road as this was the only legal option available. It is noted that the proposal plans have always shown a possible connection through the interconnecting property Lot 2 MPH 30886 and the Applicant has always intended, if possible to purchase this land and to make the connection. The Applicant requests that condition 31 be amended by the removal of the requirement to build the unnamed road to Tamaree Road and inclusion of the requirement to dedicate the emergency access lot to Council at no cost. Points to support the amended proposal include; 1. At Councils request the original access to Old Maryborough Road was

built to a standard necessary to service the overall development. Tod Consulting who designed the existing intersection have confirmed in writing that the intersection has the capacity to serve at least 55 lots from the estate onto Old Maryborough Road.

2. Council when considering the design of the overall road network were aware that the road would be connected and have imposed design standards to reflect this eventuality. This has been an additional cost to the development.

3. A turnaround will be provided mid length to allow visitors who wish to exit

the road an opportunity to do so without the need to travel the full length of the cul de sac.

4. A 20 metre wide lot (proposed lot 56) will be dedicated to Council at no

cost to serve as an emergency access. The lot will extend from the end of the internal road to the unnamed road and this will allow access back to Tamaree Road.

This land and road will be trafficable by two (2) wheel drive. Minor

preparatory work to enable two wheel traffic uses will be completed as part of the subdivision works.

The emergency access will provide alternative access in the case of bush

fire or a blockage along the road in the event of accident.


It is noted that the internal road is designed for low traffic speeds and it is

hoped that the chance of an accident that causes disruption to the road will be unlikely. Further the road design with drive over and flush kerb and reasonable side slopes on the footpaths will allow traffic to pass around an obstacles on the road should they inadvertently occur.

5. The most direct access to the Gympie urban area from the estate is by the

Old Maryborough Road access when compared to the access alternative access along the North Coast Rail corridor and through Tamaree Rd.

Further Tamaree Road has a higher volume of heavy vehicle traffic which

makes it less attractive to residential traffic. It is noted that the Old Maryborough access is visually more attractive

than the rail corridor and Tamaree Road option. 6. There are many examples in the area where long cul de sacs operate

successfully and have done so for many years. Much of the Palms rural residential estate functions in this manner. Also the Gympie Muster site is on a 30 kilometre long cul de sac and there are many other successful examples.

7. The construction of a through road would potentially reduce the security

of residents. Cul de sac properties have a tendency to monitor comings and goings more diligently than open ended systems.

8. The unnamed road along the North Coast rail corridor is not required to

be built to service any other property. As such its construction would be an unnecessary maintenance burden to Council.

9. Should the system have a connection to Tamaree Road there maybe heavy

vehicles use the road as a more direct route back to the highway to travel to the north. This would be undesirable from a residential amenity perspective.

10. Ken Laughton of Opus Qantec McWiiliam Pty Ltd advises that the

proposal accords with the provisions of Queensland Streets in relation to carriageway width, verge width, provision of kerbing, grades, cross falls and so on. The cul de sacs is slightly longer than suggested by the manual but as outlined there are numerous other examples of non complying systems in the area. This provision of the code can’t be viewed as a critical component rather a desirable outcome.


11. Ken Laughton of Opus Qantec McWiiliam Pty Ltd advises that the

proposal generally accords with the provisions of the Cooloola Planning Scheme Infrastructure Works Code for rural residential roads except the grade which slightly exceeds the preferred maximum for roads servicing 40 to 200 lots. It is 12 percent for a short section where the preferred maximum is 10 percent. Council have previously agreed to this variation of the code.

12. The Cooloola Planning Scheme 2005 - Reconfiguration of a Lot Code;

Specific Outcome SP02 considers the need for a structured road network. The proposal fully complies with the code for the following reasons; • The function of each road is clearly defined; internal low speed

residential access road verse Old Maryborough Road which is the higher speed arterial road

• The proposal accounts for emergency access and crime prevention as outlined elsewhere in the submission

• The proposal creates a liveable community • The proposal ensures the minimum travel distance to Gympie • The proposal creates a low speed travel environment and allows for

service vehicles and buses • The proposal will create a readily identifiable address and road

function for residents and visitors.’ 3.0 Assessment 3.1 Engineering Considerations Report: Infrastructure Planning Manager – A. Laszlo) CONDITION 1 The condition only requires for cul-de-sac turnarounds should the proposed road link not be achieved. Condition 1(b) to remain. CONDITION 31 The revised proposal does not comply with The Institute of Municipal Engineering Australia “Queensland Streets – Design Guidelines for Rural Residential Subdivisional Streetworks”. The approved and constructed internal street width is 6.0m. Hence, the street classification is “Access Street - 2 lane” as per the above standard. The maximum catchment length for an Access Street at this width is 1200m. The development street length from the proposed cul-de-sac to the first intersection is approximately 1950m ie 750 metres too long.


For the proposal to comply with Queensland Streets the internal street beyond 1200m from the cul-de-sac to Old Maryborough Road (approximately 825m) would need to be widened to an absolute minimum 7.0m to meet the standard requirements of the Collector Street classification. Condition to remain. 3.2 Planning Considerations 3.2.1 Condition 1 Subject to Council’s decision in relation to condition 31 below, the latest proposal plan may not need to be endorsed as the approved plan. 3.2.2 Condition 15 Condition 15 reads: ‘15. Council’s rate record to be noted that proposed new allotments on Lot 1

MPH23777 are located within a Salinity Risk area with a copy of the Salinity Assessment report to be made available to prospective purchasers identifying salinity management strategies for residential use of the lots.’

The original salinity assessment report submitted for the proposal was based on the Department of Natural Resources and Water, Salinity Hazard Mapping. This mapping is done at a regional scale and is not considered to be accurate at an individual property scale. The new report submitted is based on site specific investigations including a desktop review, site walkover, surface water analysis and test pit program and is considered to demonstrate that salinity is not a risk to either the proposed development or the construction of new dwellings on the lots. The condition can be deleted. 3.2.3 Condition 31 Condition 31 reads: ‘31. Unnamed road reserve off Tamaree Road is to be upgraded. Specifically

the following works are to be undertaken in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Council’s Chief Executive Officer:

(a) 7.0 metre sealed road construction from Tamaree Road to the new road opening in Lot 1 MPH23777.’


The engineering report above references Queensland Streets as the appropriate guideline for considering the appropriateness of the new layout. Queensland Streets is included in Council’s Planning Scheme Policy 8: Infrastructure Works, which is referred to as a probable solution for complying with the requirements of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code as it relates to Specific Outcome 2 ‘Roadworks design and layout’. The applicant has submitted substantial justification to support compliance with the requirements of this specific outcome in acknowledgement of the proposed layout’s non-conformity with Queensland Streets. The proposed cul-de-sac extends approximately 1.8 kilometres from the intersection with Old Maryborough Road. There are not considered to be many other examples in the Shire where such an arrangement exists although the following are noted: - Sovereign Drive – 1.2 kilometres; and - Silky Oak Drive – 1.6 kilometres. No-through roads in The Palms area extend well beyond that proposed however this area has been developed for some time and should not necessarily be used as the benchmark for future developments. In assessing the request the following points are raised for Council’s consideration: (i) a through road is likely to erode the neighbourhood estate concept and

result in a decreased amenity for the development; (ii) no intersection works at the unnamed/Tamaree Road intersection have

been conditioned and as Tamaree Road is an identified heavy vehicle route it is not desirable to increase the residential traffic flow through here as opposed to Old Maryborough Road which is of a better standard;

(iii) the slightly shorter route back to the Gympie CBD is via Old Maryborough Road (~2.6km as opposed to 2.8km);

(iv) heavy vehicle traffic through the development could be discouraged via traffic calming devices but this is not normally an accepted outcome in rural residential areas where possible;

(v) with the dedicated piece of land to serve as an emergency access to the unnamed road this area and the road is likely to require Council maintenance if made trafficable for 2 wheel drive vehicles and a solution to discourage regular use of this, whilst maintaining the access, should be sought if Council approves of the amended plan;

(vi) the unnamed road is unlikely to ever service another rural residential development and upgrading of it will only be of benefit to this proposal; and


(vii) the amended road layout is not considered contrary to any of the relevant specific outcomes of Council’s Reconfiguring a Lot Code and in most instances better meets these outcomes than the previous approved layout.

The likelihood of a situation where the proposed emergency access may be required is considered remote and from a maintenance issue not in Council’s best interest to acquire for this purpose. 4.0 Conclusion It is recommended an amended decision notice be issued endorsing the new proposal plan but excluding the area to be dedicated to Council for emergency access.

SECTION 3: RECONFIGURING A LOT APPLICATIONS 3/1 DA16071 – Subdivision to Create One (1) Additional Lot – 25 Old Wolvi

Road, Gympie – P. & H. Leppien

FILE: Minute: P17/05/08 DA16071 APPLICANT: P. & H. Leppien LANDOWNER: P. R. & H. M. Leppien RPD: Lot 8 MPH24291 SITE: 25 Old Wolvi Road, Gympie PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to

Create one (1) Additional Lot. ZONE: Housing (2005 Scheme) PLANNING AREA: Gympie

Report: (Planning Officer – M. K. Matthews) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This application seeks to create one (1) additional housing allotment with dual frontage to Old Wolvi Road and Bath Terrace, Gympie. The proposal is for a rear allotment behind the existing dwelling on the site. Access to the new lot is proposed from Old Wolvi Road via an easement through proposed lot 1.


2.0 PLANNING SCHEME REQUIREMENTS The application is code assessable against the following codes in Council’s Planning Scheme:


Gympie Planning Area Code The proposal generally complies with the requirements of the Gympie Planning Area Code. This application will be infilling and consolidating an existing housing lot. Reconfiguring a Lot Code The planning scheme nominates a probable solution of minimum lot size of 600m2 for new lots in the Housing Zone, and 800m2 for a rear allotment exclusive of the access handle. Proposed lot 1 has a complying area of 664m2 however excluding the land to be allocated as an access easement for lot 2 this area is reduced to approximately 530m2. Lot 2 proposes an area of 662m2 which does not comply with the minimum lot size for a rear allotment. No grounds to support the lot sizes proposed have been submitted with the application however the following considerations are relevant: - whilst the allocation of an access easement through lot 1 decreases the

actual usable area of this lot to below the minimum lots size of 600m2, this lot is currently improved by a dwelling house and therefore the yard area already well defined; and

- the proposed rear access lot has a complying road frontage but cannot construct access to this road as it is a state-controlled road. This lot is therefore not considered to present the same amenity issues as a new rear allotment that normally has no road frontages and multiple neighbours.

There are only a limited number of remaining lots in this section between Old Wolvi Road and Gympie Connection Road that would be eligible for subdivision given their size. Infrastructure Works Code The site is serviced by all requirements of the Housing Zone other than a concrete footpath. The standard contribution towards such is considered appropriate. To create a suitable house site that can command sewerage on proposed lot 2 the application proposes filling within this lot, and this is shown on the proposal plan. The fill will be in the vicinity of 2-3 metres, is set back six (6) metres from the Bath Terrace frontage and proposed to the boundary with the adjoining lot to the west. A retaining wall is constructed on this adjacent lot and it is not expected to be adversely affected by the fill. A subsequent application for operational works is required for the fill given its extent and through this application amenity issues can be addressed and appropriate retention methods imposed.


Landscaping Code A street tree is not considered necessary for development of only one (1) additional lot. 3.0 CONSULTATION (a) Internal Design Department Report: (Design Department Technical Officer – A.C. Walsh)

This engineering report is based on the information by the applicant to

subdivide Lot 8 MPH 24291 Parish of Gympie, 25 Old Wolvi Road, Victory Heights into 2 lots.

FRONTAGE ROAD / ACCESS The existing lot has frontage to both Old Wolvi Road and Bath Terrace

(Gympie Connection Road). Old Wolvi Road is fully constructed except for a concrete footpath. As Bath Terrace (Gympie Connection Road) is a Declared Road the proposal was forwarded to the Department of Main Roads as a Concurrence Agency. The Department applied a condition that no direct access is permitted to Bath Terrace (Gympie Connection Road). Bath Terrace is constructed of a two lane bitumen standard without kerb and channel or concrete footpath. Although the Department is not permitting access to lot 2 from Bath Terrace, Council’s Planning Scheme requires kerb and channel to be provided to all Housing zoned lots and any further upgrading of Bath Terrace. As this would create an isolated section of kerb and channel Council should consider a contribution for the work instead of construction at this point in time.

Access to lot 2 from Old Wolvi Road through the proposed access easement

should be constructed with 2.7 metre wide reinforced concrete to meet the requirements of Council’s Infrastructure Works policy.

WATER SUPPLY Water supply is adequate at this location, however as there is no main in Bath

Terrace, lot 2 will be required to be serviced from Old Wolvi Road through an easement.

SEWERAGE Although an existing sewer traverses the north eastern corner of proposed lot 2,

the lot will be required to be filled to ensure a building area can be connected to the sewerage system by way of gravity. To achieve this the lot will be required to be filled along the Bath Terrace frontage to a height of some 3.5 to 4 metres. Council may wish to consider the aesthetics of this height of fill fronting Bath Terrace.



This location is not subject to flooding. OTHER SERVICES Power and communication services are available with any costs to expand those services to the responsibility of the developer. Streetlighting is inadequate at this location in Old Wolvi Road. A contribution of $850 should be sought.

3/2 DA16867 – Subdivision to Create One (1) Additional Lot – 12 Tweed Lane,

Gympie – CEDMS Pty Ltd

FILE: Minute: P18/05/08 DA16867 APPLICANT: CEDMS Pty Ltd LANDOWNER: CEDMS Pty Ltd as Trustee RPD: Lot 1 MPH6072 SITE: 12 Tweed Lane, Gympie PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision

to Create One (1) Additional Lot EXISTING ZONE: Housing PLANNING AREA: Gympie LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code

Report: (Planning Officer – M.K. Matthews) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal This application seeks to create one (1) additional housing lot from an existing 1679m2 lot. The land is currently zoned Housing within the Gympie Planning Area. The proposed lot sizes are 761m2 for proposed Lot 1 and 800m2 for proposed Lot 2, excluding the area to be utilised as an access handle.


1.2 Site Description The proposed development site slopes downwards to the western street frontage at a gradient of approximately 12%. The subject site contains one existing dwelling house and a domestic outbuilding (a garden shed) which is proposed to be removed as part of this application.


The west facing frontage of the site is subject to flooding for approximately half the depth of the site. There is currently a dwelling house constructed on this portion of land with a raised floor level. The northern boundary of the site adjoins a gazetted but unconstructed laneway, which is discussed in the report. 1.3 Surrounding Land Uses The subject site is currently zoned Housing. Surrounding land uses along Tweed Lane are residential in nature, with allotments ranging from 500m2 to 2,750m2. However, certain parcels on the western side of Tweed Lane are subject to flooding and are consequently vacant. The Mount Pleasant Hotel is also located at the rear of the subject site to the east. 2.0 PLANNING SCHEME REQUIREMENTS The application was lodged under the Cooloola Shire Council Planning Scheme 2005. The application is Code Assessable under the Scheme and subject to assessment against the Gympie Planning Area Code, Reconfiguring a Lot Code, Infrastructure Works Code, and Landscaping Code. 2.1 Gympie Planning Area Code There are some items of non-compliance with the Cooloola Shire Council Planning Scheme 2005 that will be addressed as part of this report. Portions of the western frontage of the site are subject to flooding, and the applicant has advised that there is no intention to either construct or close the unconstructed gazetted laneway on the northern boundary of the site. This raises issues in regards to future maintenance of the laneway. 2.2 Reconfiguring a Lot Code

SO-12 – The proposal complies with the relevant requirements for lot sizes and dimensions for Reconfiguring a Lot in the Housing zone. The minimum lot size in the Housing zone is 800m2 for a rear lot, excluding the area to be utilised for the access handle. PS-17 – Proposed lot 1 cannot provide for a house site above the Q100 flood level however this lot contains an existing house and any required reconstruction of such would be considered an existing use right.

2.3 Infrastructure Works Code The development site is bordered on the northern and eastern sides by an unconstructed unmaintained road reserve. This area is currently fenced and maintained with the boundaries of the lot. With the creation of an access handle between this area and lot 1 the question of maintenance of the road reserve is raised.


The applicants have indicated they have no intention of closing or constructing this road reserve to service lot 2 and construction of it as a road is made difficult by its narrowness (only 5 metres), with a minimum required width for a road being 3.5 metres in a 13 metre reserve. It is further impractical to require such construction given it is unlikely to ever service more than one (1) lot. There is no reasonable requirements that can be imposed on an approval that would improve this situation and it is considered likely that the new owner of lot 2 will maintain the area as an informal extension of their yard. 2.4 Landscaping Code Street trees are not normally imposed on subdivisions within the Housing Zone that intend only to create one (1) additional lot. 3.0 CONSULTATION 3.1 Internal (a) Design Department Comments Report: (Design Department Technical Officer – A.C. Walsh)

This engineering report is based on the report (dated July 2007) by Ken Hicks and Associates to subdivide Lot 1 on MPH 6072, 12 Tweed Lane, Gympie into two lots. LEAD-IN ROAD / FRONTAGE ROAD Tweed Lane leading to and fronting the proposed lots is constructed to a 6 metre wide sealed standard with kerb and channel on the Eastern side. The proposal is to create a hatchet shaped lot with access to Tweed Lane adjacent to an existing unformed road reserve varying in width 3.0m to 5.5m (approx). WATER & SEWERAGE Both facilities are available however the existing combine housedrain to No’s 12 & 14 Tweed Lane will be required to be replaced with a sewer. FLOODING The Q100 flood contour line traverses the existing lot in a location that the majority of the proposed Lot 1 is below this line. This lot is improved by an existing dwelling.


4.0 CONCLUSION The proposal generally complies with relevant subdivision provisions of the Cooloola Shire planning scheme. It is bordered on two sides by unformed unmaintained road reserve and there are not considered any reasonable requirements that can be imposed on an approval to improve this situation. It is likely the area will be included informally into proposed lot 2 and maintained similarly to current arrangements. The proposal is recommended for approval subject to standard conditions and some additional engineering work.

3/3 DA17293 – Reconfiguring a Lot Application – Subdivision to Create 34 Additional Residential Lots Over Two (2) Stages – Lillis Road, Gympie - Eleventh Trail Pty Ltd FILE NO: Minute: P19/05/08 DA17293 APPLICANT: Eleventh Trail Pty Ltd LANDOWNER Evelyn J Brimble RPD: Lot 1 MPH23928 SITE ADDRESS: Lillis Road, Gympie CURRENT USE OF LAND: Vacant PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot Application –

Subdivision to Create 34 Additional Residential Lots Over Two (2) Stages

PLANNING AREA Gympie EXISTING ZONE: Housing LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code SUBMISSIONS: Nil


Report: (Contract Planning Officer – S.J. Taylor) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal The application seeks approval for the reconfiguring of the site to create an additional (34) residential lots and new road opening to be developed over two (2) stages.


1.2 Site Description The site has an area of 3.399 hectares and has frontage to both Lillis Road and Farleys Lane. 1.3 Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding land uses are predominately residential to the southwest and northwest, whereas to the north and east are rural residential. 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

2.1 State Planning Policies No State Planning Policies are relevant to the site.

2.2 Planning Scheme Provisions The site is zoned housing under the Cooloola Planning Scheme and the proposed subdivision is code assessable and the following codes are appropriate to this assessment.

• Gympie Planning Area Code • Infrastructure Works Code • Landscaping Code • Reconfiguring Lot Code

. Gympie Planning Area Code The proposal complies with the Code. Infrastructure Works Code Adequate infrastructure can service the site with appropriate modification/upgrading as identified in the Engineering report within the internal consultation section of this report. Water Supply and Sewerage Headwords contributions apply in accordance with Planning Policy No. 7. Landscaping Code Schedule 8 – Minimum Landscaping Dimensions and works required for subdivision.


Street trees to be plant at a rate of either;

(a) one tree per lot; or (b) one tree per 20 metres of road frontage whichever is the lessor. Applying the above to the proposed subdivision 35 street trees are required and should be conditional in any approval granted. Reconfiguring Lot Code The proposed subdivision generally complies with Schedule 9 – Minimum Lot Areas, Dimensions and Frontages. Some concern is raised to the minimum frontages of Lots 21 & 22, however as indicated in Council’s Engineering report the proposed detention basin is not acceptable as a long term solution to downstream drainage discharge. In addition the wide footpath fronting Lots 20-23 should also be amended to follow the alignment of proposed road reserve. With the conditioning in any approval granted with the above redesign issues opportunity would occur to widen the frontages of Lots 21 & 22. Subject to appropriate conditions being imposed the proposed development satisfies the specific outcomes of the Code. 3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Amenity No amenity concerns are raised by the proposal. 3.2 Land Use The proposed subdivision meets the criteria for housing. 3.3 Park No parkland is proposed or considered necessary. A contribution towards parks and recreation, currently assessed at $1,700 per additional lot is applicable. 3.4 Adjoining Subdivision Potential Adjoining land has been developed for housing.


3.5 Site Contamination The site is not on the Environmental Management Register. 3.6 Flooding The site is not subject to flooding. 3.7 Traffic / Road Design Lillis Road is a connecting road from Rifle Range Road to Cootharaba Road. With the development of the proposed lots the town bus route should be re-routed to continue along Lillis Road to give greater benefit to the community instead of through Farley’s Lane and a 1 metre widening of Lillis Road from Spring Road to Cootharaba Road is to be provided to cater for a bus route. Farleys Lane is to be widened to give a lane width of 4 metres to align the new boundary with the existing reserve width to the South. The proposed new road design and location will not impact on the existing road network from a traffic planning perspective. 3.8 Water Supply and Sewerage The site is within the water supply and sewerage areas with headworks charges to apply. Water Supply, Headworks Contributions Stage 1 15 additional lots (600-999m2) = (15 x $1055) x 2.8 = $44,310 Stage 2 19 additional lots (600-999m2) = (19 x $1055) x 2.8 = $56,126 Total Water Supply Headworks Contributions $100,436 Sewerage Headworks Contibutions Stage 1 15 additional lots (600-999m2) = (15 x $1648) x 2.8 = $69,216 Stage 2 19 additional lots (600-999m2) = (19 x $1648) x 2.8 = $87,673.6 Total Sewerage Headworks Contributions $156,890


3.9 Bushfire The site is not identified as bush fire prone. 3.11 Footpaths Contributions towards the provision of footpaths is applicable to this development. The construction of a concrete footpath from Farleys Lane to the head of the new through road as required by engineering the area of proposed overland flow is considered to be of benefit to the community. Contributions for footpaths should be adjusted accordingly. Engineering advise that footpath contributions have been reduced by 2 lots per stage to compensate. 4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal (a) Department of Engineering

Report: (Design Department Technical Officer – A.C. Walsh) This engineering report is based on the report submitted by Martoo Consulting and additional information submitted by Contour Consulting Engineers to subdivide Lot 1 on MPH 23928, Parish of Gympie into 34 additional lots. LEAD-IN ROAD / NEW ROAD Lillis Road is a connecting road from Rifle Range Road to Cootharaba Road. Construction widths vary from 9.0 metre bitumen sealed standard with kerb and channel both sides from Rifle Range Road to Spring Road with the remainder varying from 5 metres to 7.3 metres with a short section of kerb and channel on the Southern side adjacent to Cootharaba Road. With the development of the proposed lots the town bus route should be rerouted to continue along Lillis Road to Cootharaba Road to give greater benefit to the community instead of through Farleys Lane. This being the case the overall design width of Lillis Road from Spring Road to Cootharaba Road should be 8.5 metres. This includes a 1 metre widening for a bus route. Lillis Road will be required to be widened to the frontage of the proposed development to achieve a lane width of 4.25 metres, with the alignment of the widening to be determined at the civil design stage for Operations Works.


Farleys Lane to be widened to give a lane width of 4 metres with road reserve widening (5 metre approx.) to align the new boundary with the existing reserve width to the South. CONTRIBUTIONS Contributions towards intersection improvements and the provision of footpaths to apply. Council should require the construction of a concrete footpath from Farleys Lane to the head of the new cul-de-sac as a benefit to the community and as the area is required for an overland flow path. The contribution for footpaths could be adjusted accordingly. RETICULATED WATER The existing lot is within the defined Water Area and serviced by 100mm mains in Farleys Lane and Lillis Road to Spring Road. A 150mm will be required to be constructed in Lillis Road from Rifle Range Road to the frontage of the proposed lots with a 100mm main being constructed along the new road opening and connected through the drainage area to Farleys Lane. Water services with meters are to be connected to all lots. As there is an existing 100mm main in Lillis Road from Rifle Range Road to Farleys Lane the applicant should be required to contribute cost difference in construction of a 100mm and the 150mm main required. Headworks charges to be applied as per Council’s Policy. SEWERAGE Council’s existing gravity sewerage system in Aparima Court will be required to be extended to all proposed lots. The design of the system to allow for a gravity connection to the existing pumping station at the corner of Farleys Lane and McLellan Terrace. This pump station will be decommissioned and removed once the new gravity system is constructed. The applicant will be required to obtain written permission from the owners of properties in Aparima Court from which the existing sewer system is to be extended. Headworks charges to be applied as per Council’s Policy. FLOODING / STORMWATER DRAINAGE The proposed lots are not subject flooding. A gully traverses the existing lot, however the layout of the proposed lots has been designed to ensure the overland flowpath will be contained within the proposed road opening. At the head of the cul-de-sac, a drainage area is proposed to link an overflow path from Farleys Lane to the new road opening.


The lot layout plan shows a detention basin in the natural gully area on the Eastern side of the development adjoining Lot 16 on MPH 40842. This is not a preferred option of Council and other options should be investigated by the applicant. These should include obtaining permission from the adjoining property owner for the additional runoff to be accepted onto Lot 16 on MPH 40842. Stormwater drainage and interallotment drainage will be required as determined at the civil design stage. LOT LAYOUT The layout plan submitted by Contour Consulting Engineers should be amended with the view to delete the detention basin as discussed above. The layout should also be amended in the vicinity of lots 20 - 23 to allow the new road boundary to follow the alignment of the road design to eliminate the wide footpath in this area. ROAD NAMES The applicant is to submit three (3) names in accordance with Council’s Policy PRD-004 for the naming of the new road opening. OTHER SERVICES The applicant will be required to provide power and telecommunication services to the proposed lots. Street lighting is required to be installed to meet the requirements of Council’s Planning Scheme Policy 8: Infrastructure Works, with Lillis Road being classified as a collector street and Farleys Lane and the new road being classified as access streets. 5.0 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Formal Public Notification of the proposal is not required under the Integrated Planning Act 1997, however opportunity was given to adjoining property owners to view the proposal. No submissions were received. 6.0 CONCLUSION The subject site is zoned housing and the proposed subdivision is a logical expansion of the urban area.

SECTION 5: GENERAL MATTERS

5/1 DA17486 - Operational Works – Echelon Residential Development –

Truebay Pty Ltd Re: Minute: P23/05/08 Operational Works – Echelon Residential

Development From: Truebay Pty Ltd, PO Box 139, Tewantin Qld 4565 File: DA17486 Doc Id:896331 Date: 14 April 2008 “Echelon Residential Development Jones Hill – DA17486 – Decision Notice for Operational Works – Stage 3, 4 & 5. Reference is made to Council’s Decision Notice for DA17486, in particular condition 4(i)(b) which states:

Condition 4(i)(b) At the completion of all works the Consultant Engineer shall: (b) submit on behalf of the developer a maintenance bond to an

amount equivalent to 20% of the cost of the works to cover maintenance for a period of 24 months. Note; A lesser amount and/or time may be accepted by Council following receipt of a written request including details of the Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland for a design, the registered Professional Engineer of Queensland for the supervision, and the contractor for the work.

It is requested that this condition be amended as follows:

Condition 4(i)(b) At the completion of all works the Consultant Engineer shall: (b) submit on behalf of the developer a maintenance bond to an

amount equivalent to 5% of the cost of the works to cover maintenance for a period of 12 months.

I provide the following details in support of the request to change this condition; 1. The RPEQ for the development is John L Towler of Surburban

Engineering, 58 Channon Street, Gympie who was used for previous Stages.

2. The contractor for the development is Cooloola Civic Constructions, who

were also the contractors for previous stages.


3. The 5% Maintenance Bond and a 12 month Maintenance Period was the Policy of Cooloola Shire Council at the time of approval of the Reconfiguration Approval.

4. Such a substantial amount and duration will add considerable cost to this

and/or any other development in this Shire, which certainly in our case, has not been allowed for or event considered through the Development Costing/Feasibility process.

5. I am sure you would already be aware of the completion of Stages 1 to 5 of

this Development which is now ‘on maintenance’. I am sure there would be no doubt that Stages 1 to 5 have been completed to the highest standard and I would assure Council that the Development is being constantly monitored to ensure this standard is maintained. We are in constant contact with the Contractor and should any problems arise, they are addressed as soon as possible so as to keep the development in peak condition.

6. The amendment to the above condition would be consistent with conditions

since imposed on Stages 1 to 5.

As stated in previous correspondence, this is a very important issue to us, and will have a significant effect on our development if Council maintain its current condition. I trust Council will amend our Operational Works Permit as requested so we can continue with our Project in a manner which we always expected and intended.” Report: (Director of Engineering – R.A. Fredman) Council has previously approved a maintenance bond of 5% for 2 years for earlier stages of Echelon, with special conditions.

P23/05/08 Moved: Cr L.J. Friske Seconded: Cr D.R. Neilson

Recommend that Council authorise a reduction in the maintenance bond for the Echelon Development on McIntosh Creek Road to 5% for 2 years, plus a written undertaking from Truebay Pty Ltd to rectify all work on the Estate to Council’s satisfaction should Council be unable to achieve an acceptable outcome through normal avenues.

Carried.


5/2 Meeting of the Traveston Crossing Dam Committee with Invited Guests

Re: Minute: P24/05/08 Meeting of the Traveston Crossing Dam

Committee with Invited Guests From: Cr J. Watt File: Date: 2 May 2008 Report: Cr J. Watt Now that the new Gympie Regional Council has been formed, the issue of the Traveston Crossing Dam needs to be addressed by the whole Council, particularly in light of the current timeline and expected announcement by the Federal Government some time this year. Briefings and updates need to be provided particularly to assist those who have not been involved in the process to date. These briefings need to be from across the whole spectrum of the proposal including the proponent, State Government Task Force, Community and Council to give a balanced and full understanding of all issues to Councillors. As a result of the information provided, Council should then discuss what other measures can be undertaken at this time. I would also propose that the new Gympie Regional Council reiterate the Councils stance on the Traveston Crossing Dam.

P24/05/08 Moved: Cr J. Watt Seconded: Cr J.A. Walker Recommend that Gympie Regional Council hold a meeting of the Traveston Crossing Dam Committee at its earliest convenience and the following be invited to make a presentation each to the full council for the purpose of providing a overview and update of their activities regarding the Traveston Crossing Dam proposal: • Queensland Water Infrastructure Pty Ltd • Department of Infrastructure and Planning • Community Futures Task Force • Save The Mary River Group Further, that Mr Bob Fredman who has been responsible for the development and research of Councils submissions and reports with regard to the Traveston Crossing Dam proposal also be invited to update and inform Council of the issues to date and be invited to comment on further activities.

SECTION 3: RECONFIGURING A LOT APPLICATIONS 3/4 DA16450 – Representations for Development Approval for Reconfiguring a

Lot – Subdivision to Create One (1) Additional Lot – 549 East Deep Creek Road, Cedar Pocket – D. Petrie

FILE: Minute: P28/05/08 DA16450 APPLICANT: D. Petrie LANDOWNER: D.J. & J.O. Petrie RPD: Lot 1 RP185693 SITE: 549 East Deep Creek Road, Cedar Pocket PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to

Create One (1) Additional Lot PLANNING SCHEME: Cooloola Shire ZONE: Rural Residential PLANNING AREA: Gympie LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code

Report: (Interim Manager Development & Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 Introduction A subdivision application to create one (1) additional lot was approved over this site by Cooloola Shire Council’s General Meeting held on 4 December 2007.


The approved plan is reproduced below.

Approved Plan


The applicant has made representations in relation to two (2) conditions of the approval, relating to upgrading of Lucky Road and its intersection with East Deep Creek Road. 2.0 Conditions of Approval Conditions 2.4 and 2.6 read: “2.4 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 Lucky Road:

(a) 4.5 metre seal on 7 metre formation for the full frontage of proposed Lot 2, terminating in a gravel turnaround”.

“2.6 East Deep Creek Road and Lucky Road intersection design to comply

with Austroads Part 5: Intersection at Grade”. 3.0 Applicant’s Representations “Representation to both Conditions 2.4 and 2.6: The applicant has a number of concerns with these two conditions and these concerns include the following.

- Lucky Road is currently on Council’s register and currently used by other residents and landowners. These conditions require upgrading that will benefit existing users of the road more than the proposed Lot 2.

- Condition 2.6 essentially suggests that the existing intersection of two roads on Council’s register currently does not meet recognized design standards and requires person excising one lot is undertake significant works that should have already been undertaken given Council’s duty of care.

- Condition 2.4 requires the whole of the frontage of proposed lot 2 to be upgraded when it has access to a formed and sealed roadway.

- Council is obtaining a sizeable road contribution plus seeking considerable road improvement works to be undertaken; and

- The access location as shown on the approved proposal plan and the logical house site does not require access along Lucky Road. The applicant is prepared to accept a condition/s which ensure that the access and house site location maintains such general position.


The applicant would prefer that the conditions be amended to provide the option for access for proposed Lot 2 directly off East Deep Creek and for that access to comply with Council’s relevant codes. The applicant acknowledges that the original application proposed such an arrangement and that Council requested additional design information and that the proposal was amended rather than supply this information. The applicant requests that Council confirms whether such an access remains an option and whether more information is required before Council is prepared to determine its response to these representations. The applicant would prefer a negotiated decision notice which provides two options for access with one being off Lucky Road and one being as originally proposed, and alternative conditions be listed appropriately.”

4.0 Assessment

4.1 Report: (General Manager Design Services Division - R. Chapman)

The representations relate solely to engineering requirements regarding

upgrading of an unmaintained road (named as Lucky Road in Council's Road Register) that fronts the property being subdivided and the intersection of that unmaintained road with East Deep Creek Road.

The conditions applied are both relevant and although there may be some

perceived degree of unreasonableness applied because upgrading of this part of Lucky Road to a maintained road status by the applicant will be of benefit to other users of the road, Council should not expose itself to possible litigation or expend revenue for road construction to assist a developer.

It is understood Council is perfectly entitled to require upgrading of the

frontage road (to half-width requirements only as has been applied). To not do so would then place it in a non-defendable position from others to upgrade an unmaintained road to maintained status. Likewise, if the intersection is not upgraded to meet design standards, approving of upgrading the road without doing the intersection would be at very high risk to Council. There were no immediate plans for the former Cooloola Shire to upgrade this section of East Deep Creek Road that could have included upgrading of the Lucky Road reserve intersection.

The existing conditions should remain. 4.2 Planning Comments Specific Outcome 1 (c) of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code requires all new lots for rural residential purposes to ‘have a bitumen road fronting the lots and direct bitumen road access into a service centre.


On this basis and being consistent with requirements placed on other developments (ie DA14259 – Holley, DA13581 - Edwards, DA13022 – Lobegeier DA13809 - Feldmeier), a condition requiring half width road construction for the full frontage of lot 2 was imposed. In these previous cases however the lots did have access to a gravel road that was already maintained by Council and the new lots relied on access to this road. Feldmeier is perhaps the most appropriate comparison which proposed a new lot of an unmaintained road at the intersection of Groves and Nash Road. In this instance the lot was proposed to be altered to provide a legal access onto Groves but the most practical and likely access was to be off the unmaintained road. Following consideration of representations in this case Council resolved to retain the condition requiring half width construction for the full frontage and on this basis should not delete the condition for this approval. Access from East Deep Creek Road may be achievable but previous advice obtained indicated sight visibility distances may be difficult to meet given the road alignment and a significant bank from the table drain to the lot boundary. Another consideration in requiring sealing in rural residential areas is the potential for dust nuisance in close proximity to nominated house sites and this is considered relevant given the most likely house sites are on the elevated section of the lot closest to Lucky Road. 5.0 Conclusion Based on the grounds outlined in the report and previous Council decisions it is recommended that a negotiated decision notice not be issued.

P28/05/08 Moved: Cr J.A. Walker Seconded: Cr G.L. Engeman

Recommend that the representations in relation to development application (DA16450) for Reconfiguring of a Lot – Subdivision to Create One (1) additional lot over Lot 1 on RP185693, located at 549 East Deep Creek Road, Cedar Pocket be placed on hold pending further information being lodged with Council by the applicants and/or their consultants

Carried.
