Premises (Medical Centre) & Shop (Pharmacy)

ZONE: Housing PLANNING AREA: Gympie ASSESSMENT: Code (Inconsistent Use) SITE AREA: 1 854m2



KEY POINT SUMMARY

• application for a medical centre and associated pharmacy on Exhibition

Road, Southside previously reported to Council’s Planning and Development Committee on 4 February 2009;

• Council resolved to refer the application back to officers for further consideration with a view to providing Council with appropriate conditions of approval;

• further assessment indicated no additional information required to finalise the application;

• Main Roads have provided conditional approval to the development; • appropriate conditions of approval provided as requested by Council. Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 Introduction This application was previously presented to Council’s Planning and Development Committee on 4 February 2009 where Council resolved vide minute P03/02/09 to: ‘Recommend that the application be referred back to officers for further consideration with a view to providing Council with appropriate conditions of approval.’ 2.0 Previous Report A copy of the previous report is reproduced below for Councillor’s benefit. ‘1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal The applicant seeks Council approval to establish Commercial Premises and a Shop comprising a single storey Medical Centre and Pharmacy with a total floor area of 565m2. The centre is to be accessed via a service road in close proximity to the intersection of Exhibition Road and Power Road. Provision is to be made for the on-site parking of 32 vehicles incorporating an ambulance bay and an accessible (PWD) parking space.



1.2 The Site The site contains an area of 1 854m2 and is developed with a timber residence, which is to be removed should the proposal be approved.



1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Generally the site is on the fringe of a residential locality but adjoining rural uses to the east. 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Planning Scheme Provisions The site is zoned Housing under the Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme in which Commercial Premises and Shops are subject to Code Assessment. The following Codes are applicable to the development:

• Gympie Planning Area Code • Erosion and Sediment Control Code • Infrastructure Works Code • Landscaping Code • Vehicle Parking and Access Code

Gympie Planning Area Code Commercial premises and shops are considered to be ‘inconsistent uses’ within the Housing Zone, unless the site is included in the Medical Preferred Use Area. The applicant has addressed this inconsistency in the following submission: “Land use, the proposed uses are inconsistent uses under the provisions of the Cooloola Planning Scheme for the subject site. In requesting Council to support the application the following justification is provided; a. Commercial development on the Southside is needed to support the

residential development that is occurring there. Commercial development on the Southside servicing the needs of its residents will assist to reduce traffic and other impacts elsewhere in the city and be more convenient for the Southside residents.

There is considerable difficulty in providing addition (sic) commercial development in the Southside as the two commercially zoned parcels are being held back from development. As a consequence development pressure exists around the existing commercial land on sites that are not attractive for residential use. Council has approved an office development and child care centre outside the zoned land to allow for the needed development to occur.



The area bounded by Exhibition Road, Power Road and the flood prone rural land to rear contains 11 allotments some of which are constrained by flooding. Within this precinct there exists an engineering work shop and an approval for office development. It is submitted that this precinct is suitable for small scale commercial uses provided traffic issues are addressed. Further that this land is the logical commercial expansion node to provide the opportunity for the needed services. The subject application is a logical extension of the commercial area to meet the identified needs.

b. Similar justification for the subject proposal exists to that used to support the Council(sic) similar decision on a nearby site (DA 17024 at 29 Exhibition Road).

c. The proposed use will not adversely impact on the residential amenity of

the area. Consultation with the most impacted neighbour has occurred. d. The proposal accords with the desired environmental outcomes of the

2005 Cooloola Planning Scheme. In particular outcome number 12 is restated below.

(12) Accessibility to adequate commercial, medical, health and other

essential services is maximised e. The proposal is for commercial premises which are primarily

appointment based businesses and will not rely on overt advertising to attract passing trade.”

Given the zoning of the site, the planning scheme does not foreshadow commercial development at this location. To allow the proposed development would jeopardise the orderly expansion of the currently zoned commercial land and introduce commercial intrusion into an existing residential area. Two (2) large undeveloped parcels of commercial zoned land are allocated in this vicinity on the Southside (see map following). A development approval for a shopping centre exists over the site fronting Ramsay Road, and related operational work approvals have been submitted for the development. Until this is built and tenanted it is considered difficult to argue need for additional commercial development on the Southside.



Until such time as Council formally reviews the planning scheme and identifies the appropriate sites for commercial expansion on the Southside, if indeed it is required, the application should not be supported. Generally the proposed development meets the development standards of the code except for the following issues. The development will generate approximately 6 trips / hour both AM and PM peak periods being 38 trips in and 38 trips out along a residential designated service road, which is well in excess of the residential expectation within the housing zone. In view of the above, the location of the development coupled with the increased traffic generation would generate adverse changes to the traffic conditions experienced by existing residents along the service road. Whilst it is acknowledged that the Department of Main Roads has commenced investigations into an upgrade of Exhibition Road fronting the development site, which will likely result in removal of the service road, the Department indicate that the State Government has not allocated any funding to the work and completion could therefore be some time away. This issue is considered to further emphasise the premature nature of the development. Table 8.4 of Schedule 3 of the Planning Scheme stipulates a minimum side and rear building setback of 3 metres.



The applicant seeks relaxation of the above standard to 1.5 metres as the proposed side and rear boundary building interface with the neighbouring properties has been designed to avoid any adverse amenity impacts. The applicant proposes the following treatments: “a densely landscaped with planting to screen the building b boundary screen fence of timber c. no opening windows or clear glass d. area kept clear of goods and items of plant (air conditioners)” Having regard for the scale and nature of development and treatments proposed the nominated boundary setbacks are considered acceptable. Erosion and Sediment Control Code No perceived impacts that cannot be controlled / managed by appropriate conditions at the operational works / building permit stages of the development. Infrastructure Works Code The necessary infrastructure to service the development is existing. Landscaping Code In accordance with Schedule 8 – Minimum Landscaping Dimensions and Works, landscaping is to be provided as follows: Requirement Proposed Along all frontages Minimum of 3 metres wide at any point and averaging 4 metres wide. Along all boundaries adjoining dwelling houses. Minimum of 2 metres wide at any point and averaging 3 metres wide.

Along all frontages 3 metres wide. Along all boundaries adjoining dwelling houses. 1.5 metres to 2 metres wide.



In addition to the above, the Schedule requires landscaping to be provided as follows: Requirement Proposed One Shade tree per six parking spaces or five trees per 1,000m2 of site area. Provide a landscape area minimum 1.5 metres between carpark and building.

Nil 1.5 metre area clearance provided.

As indicated above, the proposed development only partly meets the landscaping requirements of the Planning Scheme. However the area available for landscaping together with the provision of screen fencing and shade trees within the proposed carparking area would be sufficient to break up building lines and hard surface elements of carparking. Vehicle Parking and Access Code Schedule 10 – Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements, stipulates carparking for commercial premises to be provided at the following rates: 5.5 spaces per 100m2 of GAA = 5.5 x 5 9ie 565m2) = 27 1 space for ambulance bay = 1 Required Parking = 28 spaces Proposed Parking = 32 spaces (incorporating an Ambulance bay) Within the terms of the Vehicle Parking and Access Code bicycle parking is applicable as the development exceeds 500m2. Provision has not been made in the applicant’s submission, however any approval could be conditional accordingly.

3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Amenity Concerns have previously been raised that the additional traffic generated by the proposed development will be uncharacteristic and impact on existing residences on the service road.



No other significant amenity issues are raised, however, given the location of the site fronting a major collector road (Exhibition Road) and the boundary setbacks/treatments proposed. 3.2 Site Contamination The land is not contained within the Environmental Management Register. 3.3 Flooding The site is impacted by the 1 in 50 year ARI flood line and almost completely inundated in a Q100 flood event. The planning scheme does not regulate floor levels for non-residential buildings in the Housing Zone however it is worth noting that an escape route is available from the site direct to the Exhibition Road service road should flood waters reach this point. 3.4 Water Supply and Sewerage The land is within the Water & Sewer Supply Area and headworks contributions apply as follows, which incorporates a credit for the existing use of the site for a dwelling house: Water Supply $1 878 Sewerage $5 871 4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal (a) Department of Engineering Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – T. Laszlo) In view of the possible upgrading of Exhibition Road commercial development should be carefully planned in this locality in relation to traffic issues along Exhibition road and associated flows and movements (particularly right hand turning movement) on an arterial road. Approval of this proposal with the current traffic arrangement (ie service road) would be considered to result undesirable traffic movements through the Exhibition/Power road intersection. Department of Main Roads have not yet finalised their designs for the intersection and Exhibition Road upgrade.



If this development were to be approved it could set a precedent for infill developments of similar uses, which would have an unacceptable cumulative effect on traffic numbers. This is not advisable in the absence of adequate planning including a traffic analysis of the Power Road/Exhibition Road intersection. If the development is considered by Council to contain merit, further assessment should be undertaken and further information requested in relation the location of an existing sewer trunk main relative to the proposed building. A brief assessment only has been undertaken given the recommendation made. (b) Department of Health and Community Services Concerns raised by Health and Community Services regarding refuse servicing, bin location and enclosed screening of refuse bins should be conditioned on any approval granted. 4.2 External (a) Department of Main Roads Under the provision of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 the application was referred to the Queensland Department of Main Roads as a referral agency, given the site’s frontage to Exhibition Road. The Department has responded with conditions of approval relating to access, cost of works, noise assessment and stormwater runoff. No significant upgrading works have been conditioned other than road access works being constructed in accordance with Council’s standard requirements. 5.0 PUBLIC CONSULTATION The application does not require formal advertising under the terms of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 due to the level of assessment. However due to the nature of the application and that the use is inconsistent in the Housing Zone adjoining property owners were notified of the proposal seeking any comments. As a result no submissions were received.



6.0 CONCLUSION The proposed development is not recommended for approval for reasons outlined in the report and as listed in the recommendation.’ 3.0 Assessment As requested by Council, the following are considered appropriate conditions that should be attached to any approval of the development.

2/2 2008-1337 – Representations for Material Change of Use for General Industry

(Mechanical Workshop) – 8 Du Rietz Court, Southside – D. Brennan Re: Minute: P07/04/09 Representations for Material Change of Use for

General Industry (Mechanical Workshop) From: Martoo Consulting for D. Brennan File: 2008-1337 Date: 17 February 2009

Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 INTRODUCTION Development approval for Material Change of Use for General Industry (Mechanical Workshop) was approved by Council on 29 January 2009. The applicant suspended their appeal period on 16 February 2009 and lodged representations in relation to some of the conditions on 16 February 2009.



The conditions requested to be reconsidered are outlined below.



2.0 Representations Representations are submitted in relation to the levied road contributions.



2.1 Condition 5 – Stage 1 (a) Condition 5 – Stage 1 reads:

“In accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 13: Urban Road Contributions a contribution is to be paid toward road improvements as a result of the increased traffic generated by this development. The amount is for Stage 1 currently assessed at $2 990, however will be in accordance with Council’s Policy and the amount applicable at the time of payment.”

(b) Applicant’s representations: “The applicant is aware that Council adopted Planning Scheme Policy Number 13 titled ‘Urban Road Contributions’ and this provides Council with the ability to collect contributions towards urban roadways where essentially a land use proposal resulted in increased traffic generated by such an application. It is also appreciated that Council’s assumptions when calculating road contributions for land use applications is now publicly available and that such a policy required a flexible interpretation due to the considerable range of uses, sites and scenarios that the policy needs to consistently accommodate. The town planning report supporting the above application explained that Stage 1 of the above application proposes the following:-

‘Stage 1 will be a new dyno tuning and engine assembly workshop located in the north-eastern corner of the site. The new building is proposed to fit within the corner of the site with its external walls extending to the boundaries of the site. The basic dimensions for this are approximately 16.4m x 15.6m x 4m (high) resulting in approximately 172.71m2 extra floor area. The design includes workshops, assembly room, parts storage and staff amenity area. The main external materials will be masonry block work with coloured colorbond custom orb roofing. The existing workshop has a dyno tuning and engine assembly facility which relies on computer monitoring. The existing dyno tunning (sic) facility has suffered due to the difficulty to provide a dust reduced workspace for the necessary computers. The new building is separate from the existing workshop and is intended to provide a facility that suffers from limited dust nuisance. Consequently there is to be no other type of vehicle servicing in this building that would generate additional dust, oils and the like. The normal servicing will occur in that area previously used for dyno testing in the central lube bay in the existing building.’



Council did not issue any formal request for additional information on any consideration including confirmation on increased in staffing levels or the number of vehicle trip ends (i.e. vte) estimated to be generated by the proposal. However in the days before the Council meeting Council staff requested additional information and the following information was emailed to Council on 7 January, 2009 following liaison with the applicant. ‘I have checked with Dale Brenan and in additional (sic) to the information already provided in the town planning report I advise as follows:-

1. The premises is currently used for specialist dyno tuning for performance engines throughout Australia for client with special interests and demands. This is undertaken in a section of the existing building which is open to the elements and is not dust free. For example the computer used is continually affected by dust which enters the existing building.

2. The proposal involves the provision of a purpose built air-conditioned and dustproof facility within the subject site for dyno turning which is currently being undertaken in unsuitable area within the existing building.

3. The proposed will not result in any additional staff working on the subject site.

4. The proposal will not result in any additional jobs/projects being undertaken on the subject site.

5. The proposal will not result in any additional traffic whether that is staff, clients and delivery or service vehicles.

6. The proposal will result in better working conditions for existing staff and provide an area where specialist engine tuning can be undertaken in a facility which provides better control for noise emissions and dust intrusion.”

Martoo Consulting has had the benefit of dealing with similar planning scheme policies throughout several local government areas and participates in focus group meetings which are organized regularly with another local government trying to resolve the problems that such policies have created for certain proposals, site and scenarios. One such situation is where applicants claim unfair collection of contributions by local governments which continually arises is where the land use application proposes additional floor area to an existing premises which will not result in any additional employees or visits by vehicles for whatever reason. It is not uncommon for an existing premises to require additional floor space for a variety of reasons including, but by no way limited to, the following:-



• to house additional or more bulky machinery and the like • to provide additional storage • to provide increased space as required by current workplace health and

safety • to allow the existing operations to improve its environmental

management of its existing activities • to provide improved facilities for existing staff.

These can be further complicated when such additional floor areas proposed in such applications do not increase employee numbers and/or visits by vehicles for a range of reasons including, but certainly not limited to, the fact that the additional area will be used for the following:-

• additional machinery proposed to be stored may result in labour savings and may in fact reduce staffing numbers without increasing service vehicles

• additional machinery proposed to be stored may be providing specialist service to broaden the range of services to be added but not increase employee numbers or visits by vehicles and the like

• additional machinery proposed to be stored will improve the recycling of wastes and therefore may assist in reducing the number of service vehicles required

• housing of existing machinery in more environmentally responsible setting such as to ensure reduced noise emissions

• increased facilities for existing employees such as a staff lunch room or training room which not increase employee numbers or visits by vehicles and the like and may in fact reduce trips by existing employees

• increased area simply provides more floor area to a safer facilities or simply more workplaces for existing activities

• the increase in floor area is relatively small and/or developed in stages for a number of financial or operational reasons however can attract the payment significant contributions because of the method of calculating rates in the planning scheme policy favour larger development proposals due to unit sizes and the like

• etc, etc Gympie Regional Council is perhaps further disadvantaged due a number of factors including:

• the current 2005 Cooloola Planning Scheme containing limited traffic planning initiatives compared to other urbanized local governments,

• the current 2005 Cooloola Planning Scheme lists a limited number of land use definitions therefore creating gray areas between significantly different land uses from a traffic planning perspectives and this linked with the potential confusing correlation between certain definitions in this policy and those in the adopted planning schemes,



• the need to obtain a development permit for material change of use for numerous simple proposals (e.g. refer to assessment tables in the Industry Zone),

• the policy does not appear to reference contribution rates being paid per part therefore of unit rates.

As a result of the above the applicant considers that Council’s requirement for the collection of $2990 for stage 1 is unfair on a number of grounds including:

• the use is considered to be a heavy industry under Council’s above policy whereas the use is more a light or service type industry which has more than half the vte under Council’s policy

• the additional floor area in Stage 1 will allow specialist equipment to be housed in a dust reduced workplace with increased environmental management where noise emissions can be reduced and will NOT result any additional employees or visits by service vehicles

• the subject site is part of an industrial estate development by the former Cooloola Shire Council and generally complies with conditions placed by Council on its development. The adjoining residential development is continuing to be developed towards the subject site without any obvious acoustic control measures. The applicant has decided to undertake a environmentally responsible by relocating existing machinery into a purpose built building where noise emission can be better controlled

• the equipment to be housed in this additional is already housed in cramped conditions within the existing premises and therefore the proposal will not result in any change in the nature or intensity of use

• the method of calculating the contribution needs to be clarified and it is assumed that it equates to 9 (vte) x $332 x 1 where 1 equals the number of whole 100m2 units of GFA.

• given the above it is difficult to appreciate that if traffic generate by the site will not increase by the Stage 1 additions how Council can collect ‘a contribution to be paid toward road improvements as a result of the traffic generated by this development’.

(c) Applicant’s Requested Amendment “The applicant would prefer that no contribution is payable and would strongly urge Council to decide to delete this condition on the basis of the above. The applicant would be prepared to make a partial contribution if there was some basis to calculate such an amount given Council’s adopted policy, planning scheme and relevant planning legislation and case law. However it (sic) difficult to arrive at such a figure unless Council’s policy is applied arbitrarily and it is assumed that Council would be hesitant to do so in the early application of such a potentially controversial policy.



2.2 Condition 5 – Stage 2 (a) Condition 5 – Stage 2 reads: “In accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 13: Urban Road Contributions a contribution is to be paid toward road improvements as a result of the traffic generated by this development. The amount is for Stage 2 currently assessed at $2990, however will be in accordance with Council’s Policy and the amount applicable at the time of payment.” (b) Applicant’s representations: “The town planning report as submitted with the development application advised the following with respect to Stage 2.

‘Stage 2 is a proposed extension to the southern side of existing workshop by extending this building to the southern most boundary of the subject site. The dimensions of this proposed addition are approximately 12m (long) x 3m (wide). The design is proposed increase the useable floor space by adding 36m2 to the existing workshop. The main external material will be corrugated metal sheeting to match the existing building and a concrete block firewall along the boundary. This extension is proposed to provide additional areas for storage and staff facilities and will not add any workshop bays.

The above representation also applies to the representations to this particular condition. Similarly as a result of the above the applicant considers that Council’s requirement for the collection of $2990 for Stage 2 is unfair on a number of grounds including:

• it is of interest that the policy results in the same contribution being collected for an increase of gross floor area of 36m2 in Stage 2 as the 176m2 for Stage 1. The raised three concerns based on our interpretation of Council’s calculations. Firstly that each stage is calculated independently. While it is acknowledged that there is no guarantee that Stage 2 will be developed when undertaking Stage 1, Council recalculating the amount independently for subsequent stages can be grossly unfair. For example, 20m2 extension constructed in two stages will pay twice the contribution of a single stage 199m2 extension yet the 199m2 extension is virtually 10 times as large. Secondly, because of the size of the units (i.e. 100m2 of GFA) and there being no reference to “or part thereof”, and as we understand the logic used in deciding the contributions currently by Council for this application, a 10m2 extension to a premises may attract the same contribution as 199m2 extension yet that later is 20 times as large. Both concerns appear unfair if our assumptions are correct. Thirdly, if there is no reference to “or part therefore” then should this mean that there is no



contribution payable for GFA up to 100m2 and as such no contribution may be payable on Stage 2.

• it is difficult to appreciate that an increase to the width of a lube bay

and provide staff lunch room is heavy industry under Council’s policy when the main use is a mechanical workshop

• the proposal will result in an increased storage which in turn provides

an increase width the workplace within one of the existing lube/workshop bays and a staff lunch room which is non-existent at the moment. As such the additional floor as proposed will not result in any change in the nature or intensity of an existing use

• Given the nature of the above Stage 2, it will NOT result any additional

employees or visits by vehicles. Consequently it is difficult to appreciate what additional traffic will be generated and as such how Council can require the payment of ‘a contribution to be paid toward road improvements as a result of the traffic generated by this development.”

(c) Applicant’s Requested Amendment “The applicant would prefer that no contribution is payable and would strongly urge Council to decide to delete this condition on the basis of the above. The applicant would be prepared to make a partial contribution if there was some basis to calculate such an amount given Council’s adopted policy, planning scheme and relevant planning legislation and case law. However it (sic) difficult to arrive at such a figure unless Council’s policy is applied arbitrarily and it is assumed that Council would be hesitant to do so in the early application of such a potentially controversial policy.” “The applicant appreciates a specialist traffic engineer was not engaged to provide any evidence to support the applicant as referenced under Council’s policy but suggests that it is common sense that traffic generation can not increase if the number of staff or service vehicles will not change as a result of either the Stage 1 or Stage 2 additions. Such a traffic report would have also cost the applicant about $3000. The applicant therefore requests that Gympie Regional Council issues a negotiated decision notice which amends and/or deletes those conditions in the original decision notice as detailed above. Council is encouraged to contact our Sunshine coast office if Council requires any further information and/or clarification in relation to these representations.”



3.0 Assessment A difficulty was previously acknowledged with the new road contribution policy, in that the nominated land use classifications did not correlate exactly with the planning scheme definitions. Nor does the Policy incorporate provisions for development proposing additions as opposed to new development. The Policy levies a contribution on a per 100m2 GFA basis, therefore had the applicant applied separately in the future for Stage 2 (being only 36m2) a contribution may not have been imposed. Despite the Policy, conditions of approval must be reasonable, and with this in mind it is recommended that the contribution previously imposed on Stage 2 be deleted.

2/3 DA17343 – Representations for Material Change of Use for Multi-Residential (Dual Occupancies on Approved Subdivision) – 3-7 James Kidd Drive, Monkland – Gympie Gardens Pty Ltd Re: Minute: P08/04/09 Representations for Material Change of Use for

Multi-Residential (Dual Occupancies on Approved Subdivision) From: Gympie Gardens Pty Ltd File: DA17343 Date: 21 November 2008

Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 INTRODUCTION Development approval for material change of use was issued under delegated authority on 10 November 2008.



The applicant suspended their appeal period and lodged representations in relation to two (2) of the conditions on 21 November 2008.



The conditions requested to be reconsidered are outlined below. 2.0 Representations Representations are submitted in relation to the footpath contribution and an amenity condition. 3.0 Assessment 3.1 Condition 10 (a) Condition 10 reads: ‘A contribution is to be paid to Council towards the provision of footpaths in the general area. The amount is currently assessed at $14 463 in lieu of footpath construction but will be based on Council’s policy and the rate applicable at the time of payment.’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘The applicant intends to provide footpaths as part of operational works. To avoid any complications at a later date, the applicant would like it clearly identified that a contribution for footpaths will not be required if footpaths along internal road frontages are provided at no cost to Council. Amended Condition 10: The applicant requests that Council add a note to this condition stating that a contribution shall not be required in the circumstance that footpaths are provided along internal road frontages at no cost to Council. Alternatively, the applicant is willing to discuss the terms of this condition with Council.’ (c) Assessment Planning Scheme Policy 9: Footpath and Cycleway Contributions grants Council the ability to either: (a) require the carrying out of footpath/cycleway works by an applicant; or (b) require a monetary contribution towards the provision of

footpaths/cycleways in the general area; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b), as part of a development approval. The infrastructure [ie option (a) above] should be provided in accordance with an overall network plan or in circumstances to increase accessibility and connectivity, maintain pedestrian or cyclist safety and facilitate pedestrian movement in pedestrian dominated environments.



Given the location of the development site a pathway along its frontage is not identified in Council’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, nor would a pathway achieve any of the purposes identified in the former paragraph. On this basis, a contribution towards pathways in the general area is considered more appropriate. Also at this location, the construction of a footpath to the turnaround area may encourage vehicles to be parked on the footpath area. It is recommended that condition 10 remain. 3.2 Condition 20 (a) Condition 20 reads: ‘There is to be no detrimental effect upon the amenity of the neighbourhood by reason of the creation of excessive noise, lighting nuisance or other emissions at any time in Council’s opinion.’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘As Council’s opinion is immeasurable, the condition is considered unreasonable. In addition, SO2-SO6 and PS2 to PS6 of the Gympie Planning Area (Housing Zone) Code of Council’s planning scheme identifies relevant measures for adverse impact to amenity. Amended Condition 20: The applicant requests that Council either amend Condition 20 to reference measurable aspects of amenity which are consistent with requirements of the planning scheme or, delete Condition 20.’ (c) Assessment The applicant’s comments are noted and the condition may be deleted.

P08/04/09 Moved: Cr J. Watt Seconded: Cr A.J. Perrett Recommend that in relation to development application (DA17343) for Material Change of Use – Multi-Residential (Dual Occupancies over Approved Subdivision) over Lot 6 MCH5165, located at 3-7 James Kidd Drive, Monkland Council issue a Negotiated Decision Notice incorporating the following: (i) Condition 10 to remain; and (ii) Condition 20 to be deleted.

Carried.



SECTION 3: RECONFIGURING A LOT APPLICATIONS 3/1 2008-1312 – Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create Two (2) Additional

Lots – 23 Roselea Avenue, Southside – W. Kahmann

FILE: Minute: P09/04/09 2008-1312 APPLICANT: W. Kahmann LANDOWNER: W. & D. C. Kahmann RPD: Lot 23 RP161099 SITE: 22 Roselea Avenue, Southside PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision

to Create Two (2) Additional Lots EXISTING ZONE: Rural Residential PLANNING AREA: Gympie LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code SITE AREA: 24 260m2 (2.426 Ha)



KEY POINT SUMMARY

• Reconfiguring a Lot application to create two (2) additional lots; • Site zoned Rural Residential, adjoining other rural residential blocks

along Roselea Avenue; • Some concern regarding amenity in regards to the proximity of suitable

house sites due to the smaller lot size of proposed Lot 2; • Site currently has one (1) dwelling house, three (3) domestic outbuildings,

two (2) dams and a rock rip-rap on-site; • Rear of site subject to flooding; • Recommended to hold over the decision pending submission of an

amended proposal.

Report: (Planning Officer – M.K. Matthews) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal This application seeks to create two (2) additional rural residential lots from an existing 2.426 hectare lot. The land is currently zoned Rural Residential within the Gympie Planning Area. The proposed lot sizes are 6,000m2 for proposed Lot 1; 5,000m2 for proposed Lot 2; and 12,260m2 for proposed Lot 3.



1.2 Site Description The topography of the site slopes gently at approximately 7% towards the rear for the first two-thirds of the allotment. The site then slopes at approximately 16% to the portion of the allotment backing onto Pie Creek. The majority of this section of the site is subject to flooding. The subject site is currently improved by one (1) existing dwelling house, three (3) domestic outbuildings, two (2) dams and a rock rip-rap.



1.3 Surrounding Land Uses The subject site is currently zoned Rural Residential. The site backs onto Pie Creek which acts as a natural boundary between the subject site and rural land on the other side. 2.0 PLANNING SCHEME REQUIREMENTS The application was lodged under the Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme 2005. The application is Code Assessable development, and subject to assessment under the Gympie Planning Area Code, Reconfiguring a Lot Code, Infrastructure Works Code and the Landscaping Code. Good Quality Agricultural Land exists over the subject site, but given the zoning this issue is considered to have been previously addressed. Approval of the application would ordinarily be delegated to the Director of Planning and Development, however the proposed development does not comply with Planning Scheme minimum lot sizes. 2.1 Gympie Planning Area Code The proposal complies with all relevant requirements in the Gympie Planning Area Code for Reconfiguring a Lot in the Rural Residential zone. 2.2 Reconfiguring a Lot Code

There are some areas of non-compliance with the provisions of Council’s Planning Scheme regarding minimum lot sizes. Because of the proposed relaxation in this standard, there are amenity issues in relation to possible house sites also. The proposal generally complies in regards to frontages and the majority of other relevant assessment criteria. SO-12 – Proposed Lot 2 does not meet the minimum lot size criteria for rural residential allotments. Proposed Lot 2 is 5 000m2 in area, below the minimum requirement of 6 000m2. The applicant submits the following grounds in support of the proposal: “Plan E results in: – increased area for effluent disposal and building purposes being available

within proposed Lot 3; – improved access opportunities for proposed Lot 3; – infrastructure associated with the existing dams being wholly retained

within Lot 3; – an access easement no longer than 100 metres.”



The proposal complies with other criteria relating to minimum lot dimensions and frontages of 40m x 50m with a minimum frontage of 50m. The access leading to proposed Lots 2 and 3 does not exceed 100 metres in length. A building envelope meeting Council requirements can be fitted within the proposed boundaries and on an appropriate gradient but is restricted within proposed Lot 2. A geo-technical report has been submitted indicating that appropriate levels of effluent disposal can be accommodated on proposed Lots 2 and 3, and that proposed Lot 1 has a suitable existing level of effluent disposal. The proposal does not meet minimum lot size requirements for the Rural Residential zone, and it is considered that the ability for the proposal to function effectively may be better served with the submission of amended plans. Lot 2 is 40 – 45 metres wide for the majority of the usable area, which therefore does not accord with the normal frontage requirement of 50 metres. The location of an existing shed and tank, to be retained within lot 1, are also only shown conceptually and determination of their actual location may further compromise the area able to be accommodated within lot 2. Lot 2, being the new vacant allotment, should ideally comply with all provisions of the planning scheme, and if considered necessary to achieve efficient infill, a compromise made on an existing improved lot where the defined house site and yard area is known. In this instance, it may be necessary for the shed and tank to be included in lot 2 or removed altogether to achieve this. Amenity of lot 2 is considered a significant issue given its positioning between two (2) other lots and not having any direct road frontage. 2.3 Infrastructure Works Code It is not considered necessary in Rural Residential subdivisions of this size to upgrade roads, provide footpaths etc. All necessary issues may be addressed if the applicant decides to pursue this proposal further. Council’s Design Department will provide further assessment if necessary. 2.4 Landscaping Code Street trees are not normally imposed on Rural Residential subdivisions. 3.0 CONCLUSION The proposal does not comply with Council’s Planning Scheme requirements in relation to minimum lot sizes and sufficient argument has not been submitted with the application to warrant staff support. A decision on the proposal is recommended to be withheld pending the lodgement of an amended layout from the applicant.



P09/04/09 Moved: Cr D.R. Neilson Seconded: Cr G.L. Engeman Recommend that Council, as Assessment Manager, withhold a decision on development application (2008-1312) for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create Two (2) Additional Lots over Lot 23 RP161099 located at 22 Roselea Avenue, Southside, pending the lodgement of an amended layout incorporating a minimum lot size of 6 000m2 for proposed Lot 2.

Carried. 3/2 2008-0180 – Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create Three (3) Additional

Lots and Access Easement – 449 Eel Creek Road, Pie Creek – Keding Group Pty Ltd FILE NO: Minute: P10/04/09 2008-0180 APPLICANT: Keding Group Pty Ltd LANDOWNER: The Keding Group Pty Ltd As Trustee RPD: Lot 16 RP184649 SITE ADDRESS: 449 Eel Creek Road, Pie Creek PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to

Create Three (3) Additional Lots and Access Easement

PLANNING AREA: Gympie ZONE: Rural Residential PREFERRED USE AREA: Nil SITE AREA: 31 900m2



KEY POINT SUMMARY

• Proposal is to create three (3) additional Rural Residential lots. • Access for all lots is via a gravel Service Road off Eel Creek Road. • An Access Easement is proposed to service two (2) of the new lots. • Upgrading works for the Service Road will be required. • Two (2) submissions against the proposal have been received. • Proposal generally complies with Planning Scheme requirements. • Application recommended for approval. Report: (Planning Assistant – K.M. Fuller) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal The proposal seeks a development permit for subdivision to create three additional rural residential lots. Proposed Lots 17 and 18 will obtain access from a Service Road off Eel Creek Road and Lots 19 and 20 will access via an Access Easement in Lot 20.



1.1 The Site

The site has an area of 3.19 hectares and fronts Eel Creek Road however the existing access arrangements for this site and two adjoining properties is via two access points off Eel Creek Road connecting a gravel Service Road.



Improvements on the site are an existing dwelling, two associated outbuildings and horse yards. The dwelling and one outbuilding will be retained on proposed Lot 17 and the other outbuilding and horse yards will be retained on proposed Lot 19. 1.2 Surrounding Land Use Lots surrounding the site are zoned Rural Residential. 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 State Planning Policies Current Council mapping suggests a portion of the site contains Good Quality Agricultural Land, however as the land has been designated for rural residential purposes by Council’s Planning Scheme, it is considered that State Planning Policy 1/92 has already been addressed. Further the site’s positioning adjacent to other rural residential development limit its viability for agricultural purposes. No other State Planning Policies are considered applicable. 2.2 Planning Scheme Provisions 2.2.1 Gympie Planning Area Code The development is consistent with the outcomes for the Gympie Planning Area in that residential uses on large lots with rural amenity predominate in areas proximate to Gympie. 2.2.2 Reconfiguring a Lot Code The proposal generally complies with the outcomes of this code with the exception of direct bitumen road access, the development site fronts an Arterial Road and the access handle length. Conditions have been included to upgrade the Service Road off Eel Creek Road to Council’s minimum road requirements. SO-01 (f) requires new lots to not have access to a Major Arterial or Arterial Road, as Eel Creek Road is listed as an Arterial Road the applicant has provided justification to support the proposal in that the proposed access easement has lessened the number of potential vehicle crossovers onto Eel Creek Road along this section.



The proposed access handle length is approximately 130 metres. Probable Solution 12 (f) requires a maximum length of 100 metres. It is considered that the additional length does not compromise the amenity of the area and that specific outcomes are met. 2.2.3 Landscaping Code Landscaping is not normally imposed for rural residential subdivisions. 2.2.4 Infrastructure Works Code A condition requiring submission of an Operational Works application has been included in recommendation. Road and stormwater drainage issues will be dealt with at this stage. 2.2.5 Resource Areas Code Current Council mapping suggests a portion of the site contains Good Quality Agricultural Land, however as the land has been designated for rural residential purposes by Council’s Planning Scheme, it is considered that State Planning Policy 1/92 has already been addressed. Further the site’s positioning adjacent to other rural residential development limit its viability for agricultural purposes. 3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Land Use The proposal is considered appropriate as the site and surrounding area is designated for rural residential purposes. 3.2 Site Access and Traffic It is proposed for access to the lots be via an existing gravel Service Road off Eel Creek Road. Conditions have been included requiring access points to achieve visibility requirements and for upgrading works be carried out for the Service Road. A road contribution is applicable to any approval of this application and is currently $10 547 per additional lot. 3.3 Park A contribution towards parks in the general area is applicable to an approval of this application and currently $1 782 per additional lot.



4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal (a) Design Services Division Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – A. Laszlo)

This engineering report is based on the report submitted by R & B Planning

Services dated March 2008 and additional information.

LEAD-IN ROAD/FRONTAGE ROAD/ACCESS The development property has frontage to Eel Creek Road an arterial road which is constructed. However the subject site currently is serviced by a gravel track which should be upgraded to Council’s minimum road requirements of a 7.0m sealed on a 7.0m formation. The Access Road intersection with Eel Creek Road is to be designed to meet the requirements of Austroads Guidelines “Intersection at Grade” Part 5 for a design road speed of 100km/hr. The current access points may need to be combined to achieve this.

CONTRIBUTIONS Contributions towards road and intersection improvements should apply as per

Policy 12 currently $10,547 per additional lot.

EFFLUENT DIPOSAL A geotechnical assessment for effluent disposal addressing the requirements of the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code for the proposed development prior to the sealing of the survey plan to be provided. STORMWATER/FLOODING This area is not subject to flooding. OTHER SERVICES The developer will be required to provide electrical and communication services to the site with any upgrades to the developers costs.

Street lighting is not required in a Rural Residential subdivision.

SUBMISSIONS Two submissions were received indicating concerns with the proposed

development regarding safety of the current traffic movement to and from the property. The developer will need to upgrade the access arrangements to comply with Austroads Guidelines as outlined in the above report which addresses this issue.



4.2 External This application was not required to be publicly notified under the Integrated Planning Act however two (2) submissions were received. The issues raised and comments relating to the issues are presented below. Submitter Issue Council Staff Comments New dwellings and associated nuisances i.e. barking dogs, motorbikes in close proximity to surrounding properties

Proposed lots comply with minimum lot size and are considered to be sufficient size and proportions to be capable of being used for its intended purpose. Proposed dwellings would be subject to siting requirements

Increased traffic Conditions included to upgrade access arrangements to comply with Austroads Guidelines

Existing access road already detrimental to safety

Conditions included to upgrade access arrangements to comply with Austroads Guidelines

Ill advised to allow subdivisions of less than 2 hectares

Proposal complies with minimum lot size specified in PS-12 (a) (i) of 6000m2

The applicant has provided some additional comments for consideration in relation to the issues raised by submitters. Letter received from R & B Planning Services 10 March 2009 “The letters of objection make suggestions that the proposed lots will cause loss of privacy, excessive noise, reduced quality of life and increased traffic. It is considered that the proposed lots are of sufficient size and suitably proportioned and are capable of being used for their intended purpose within the Rural Residential Zone. Each proposed lot is not less than the minimum area and dimensions indicated in Schedule Table 12 Minimum Lot Areas, Dimensions and frontages for the Rural Residential Zone especially the rear lots. It is noted that on proposed subdivision plan P17-20A that all proposed lots have a designated building envelopes of 1000sqm which is the minimum required in accordance with Schedule Table 7 Minimum Building Areas and Building Area Dimensions. Setbacks from rear lots including proposed lot 20 are setback from the southern boundary an average of 25m and 15m from the western boundary. In a rural setting, these setbacks are over and above the minimum setback requires for the zone.



With respect to the assumed levels of noise, this issue is unsubstantiated as it makes assumptions of future residents owning motorbikes and dogs. In response, to the issue of traffic, a report was undertaken by OPUS QANTEC McWILLIAM which proposes that a left hand turn treatment be provided which will enable unimpeded traffic flow along Eel Creek Road. This engineered solution will provide assurances that the issue of traffic movement has been considered in detail and a design option has been proposed to mitigate traffic concerns. Overall, this proposal has lessened the number of potential vehicle crossovers onto Eel Creek Road along this section and has increased safety for vehicles entering or exiting onto Eel Creek Rd.” 5.0 CONCLUSION The development proposed generally complies with the provisions of Cooloola Shire Council’s Planning Scheme. Appropriate conditions including a requirement to upgrade the Service Road have been included in the recommendation below.

From: C & J Hose Date: 4 February 2009



Report: (Principal Planner – K.M. Toomey) 1.0 Introduction A development application for Material Change of Use Extractive Industry (Extraction & Screening of Soil, Sand & Gravel) and Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA # 16, 2 (b) – Extracting Rock or Other Material 5 000t to 100 000t in a year and ERA # 16, 3 (a) – Screening 5 000t to 100 000t in a year) was submitted on 4 February 2009 with the application fee of $7 556. 2.0 Applicant’s Request A letter received with the application is reproduced below. “We refer to our application recently lodged with council. We request that council review fees paid by us with relation to this matter because of the site being only .6 of a hectare above the regulated extraction site. We ask leniency of council for a reduction of payment of fees paid by us and request council look in our favour of this reduction.” 3.0 Assessment The application fees for an ‘Extractive Industry’ in the former Tiaro Shire Local Government Area are as follows: • Not exceeding 2 ha of Extractive Area or 10 000m3 per year $3 777.00 • Exceeding 2 ha of Extractive Area or 10 000m3 per year $7 556.00 The applicant proposes a total extraction area of 2.66 hectares, which is 0.66 hectares above the lower fee threshold for an application of this nature. The calculation for the proposed extraction area provided does not include access tracks, nor proposed processing or stockpiling areas.



The proposal plan is reproduced below.



In considering any reduction of the calculated application fee the following comments are relevant: (i) the development proposed is a commercial enterprise to be run at a profit; (ii) the land use approval being sought has a proposed capacity of up to 100

000t per year; (iii) the development site is affected by remnant vegetation and is

approximately 40 metres from the Mary River, which is identified as a major watercourse;

(iv) the application requires referral to Department of Natural Resources and

Water and consideration of their advice in the assessment; (v) the application requires referral to Department of Main Roads and

consideration of their advice in the assessment; (vi) the application requires referral to Environmental Protection Agency and

consideration of their advice in the assessment; (vii) other issues such as impacts on amenity, nominated haulage routes, site

based environmental management and site rehabilitation will also trigger a need to submit detailed expert reports and therefore staff review of this information will be required;

(viii) the development will be subject to impact assessment and therefore open

to public comment and potential third party appeal. A recent review of the fee structure for an ‘Extractive Industry’, for the 2009/2010 financial year, has resulted in a staff recommendation that a base fee exist for extraction areas not exceeding 2 hectares and an apportionment per hectare, or part thereof, exceeding this threshold be applied, capped at a maximum fee for 10 hectares and over. The current base fee for extraction areas not exceeding 2 hectares is $3 777.00 and the capped maximum fee is $7 556.00 for extraction areas exceeding 2 hectares. Applying the aforementioned rationale an incremental per hectare (or part thereof) rate would equate to $473.00 in addition to the base fee of $3 777.00. Therefore a fee of $4 250.00 is considered to be appropriate for this application. Given that the fee paid upon lodgement of the Application was the maximum fee of $7 556.00, an amount of $3 306.00 should be refunded to the Applicant.



P13/04/09 Moved: Cr D.R. Neilson Seconded: Cr G.L. Engeman

Recommend that Council accept an Application Fee of $4 250.00 for Material Change of Use – Extractive Industry (Extraction & Screening of Soil, Sand & Gravel) and Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA # 16, 2 (b) – Extracting Rock or Other Material 5 000t to 100 000t in a year and ERA # 16, 3 (a) – Screening 5 000t to 100 000t in a year) over Lot 44 MCH237, Lot 39 RP42804 & Lot 1 RP225035 – Curra Estate Road, Curra and $3 306.00 be refunded to the applicant.

Carried. SECTION 6: MATTERS FOR COUNCIL’S INFORMATION Nil LATE ITEMS Late Item 1 RADF Program Funding for 2009/2010 Budget

Re: Minute: P14/04/09 RADF Program Funding for 2009/2010 Budget From: Chairman - Gympie Regional Council Regional Arts Development

Fund – Cr J. Watt File: 5/3/05/0010 Date: 26 March 2009

Report: (Cr J. Watt)

As Chairman of the Gympie Regional Council’s Regional Arts Development Fund, I submit this annual request to Council for a commitment of funding for the 2009/2010 Gympie RADF program for the amount of $20,000. The GRC RADF program now has a larger region to cover and it is encouraging to be receiving many applications to the funding rounds from new areas. In light of the economic situation that is faced both regionally and nationally, the RADF committee will not be increasing the program funding request to council this year even though the region has been increased. The committee will be in a position to better assess the level of support required by all the new Gympie Regional Council area residents during this financial year and will report to GRC during 2009/2010 and prior to the next budget considerations.



Funding Council has contributed $20,000 to the Regional Arts Development Funding program each financial year for the 2006/07 07/08 and 08/09. This contribution allows the RADF program to bid for funding from the State Government through Arts Queensland. The funding ratio allocated to this Council by the State Government is population-based and equates to $1.50 for every $1.00 that council contributes. Therefore if Council agrees to continue with the same level of support, the RADF program is entitled to bid for and has the potential to attain $30,000 for the Gympie Region.

Cooloola Shire Council $20,000 Arts Queensland $30,000* Total $50,000* * Subject to Arts Queensland

Bidding The success of Gympie Regional Councils bid to Arts Queensland will be rigorously assessed against specific criteria including • sound planning • community support, • innovation and diversity of activities • activities funding in accordance with RADF Principles and eligibility

criteria • cultural plans and policies that at less than five years old.

Councils were not required to bid in the 08/09 year due to amalgamations and AQ based funding on the grants activity during the past year in each of the amalgamated shires making up the new councils. In the case of GRC where Kilkivan was not involved in RADF and Tairo Div 3 did not impact on the outcome, GRC had no option but to remain on a par with Cooloola Shire’s level of activity.

The committee and Liaison Officer have worked throughout the year towards being in the best position to place a successful bid on behalf of Gympie Regional Council



Timelines

This request is placed to Council at this particular time in order to conform with the Queensland State Government, Arts Queensland requirements:

• April 7th – close of bids to Arts Queensland • April 7th – submit Annual Report to Arts Queensland • May/June – Notification from Arts Queensland of budget approved • July – Arts Queensland cheques forwarded to Council • July – Contract signed by Council and returned to AQ

A little about RADF.

RADF provides regional Queenslanders with funding for one-off, short-term projects that offer professional arts, cultural and heritage development. RADF is a partnership between state and local government. It is managed by and for the community. The RADF program realises the state government priority of ensuring a better quality of life for all Queenslanders by building Queensland’s regions through the creation of employment opportunities and by fostering a range of skills relating to cultural industries. The program strengthens community bonds by interpreting, preserving and celebrating the diversity within each community.

In closing, this request for Council to consider the RADF allocation for 2009/2010 I would like to say that Cooloola’s cultural awareness continues to flourish. The successful partnership between Council through the Art Gallery, Library and local cultural organisations and artisans has promoted an awareness of RADF to the wider community of Gympie Regional Council

P14/04/09 Moved: Cr J. Watt Seconded: Cr G.L. Engeman

Recommend that Council approves RADF funding of $20,000 for the 2009/2010 financial year. Further, that Council note that the Chief Executive Officer has been authorised to send this advice from today’s meeting and it is recommended that the Committee’s action in this matter be endorsed.

Industry (Wrecking and Scrap Yard) and Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA # 27 – Metal Recovery)

EXISTING ZONE: Rural PLANNING AREA: Gympie LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Impact Assessable SITE AREA: 2.049Ha

KEY POINT SUMMARY • Application for a wrecking and scrap yard on Flood Road, Gympie; • Proposed to re-site existing operation in Ranson Road, Gympie; • Previous approval issued over 24 Flood Road, for extension to existing wrecking yard; • Impact assessable and no submissions received; • Development site affected by proposed highway bypass and owner in current

negotiations with Department of Main Roads for purchase; • Upgrading of Flood Road recommended to 7 metre wide sealed standard; • Recommended for approval.



Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal This application is for a Material Change of Use to establish General Industry on land zoned Rural. It is proposed to re-site an existing operating wrecking yard operating on Ranson Road, Gympie.



1.2 Site Description The subject site is located at 54 Flood Road, East Deep Creek, approximately 3.7 kilometres south-east of the Gympie central business area.



It is 2.049Ha in area, bounded by the north coast railway line on the west and 520 metres south of Flood Road’s intersection with East Deep Creek Road. The lot contains vegetation, none of which mapped as being remnant in the Vegetation Management Act.

1.3 Surrounding Land Uses

The immediate vicinity of the development site is dominated by Nolan’s Meatworks on East Deep Creek Road 300 metres to the north. Other sites are mostly rural in nature but other industrial type uses exist on Flood Road to the south, including Eldorado wastewater treatment dams and plastic manufacturing. An application for a wrecking yard on 24 Flood Road was approved by Council in 2008. 1.4 Site History This site has no previous approvals registered under Council records. 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Planning Scheme The application was lodged on 30 June 2007 under the 2005 planning scheme. Under the scheme the site is zoned Rural and the proposed use defined as General Industry (Wrecking and Scrap Yard). 2.2 Compliance with the Planning Scheme The application is subject to impact assessment and therefore the entire planning scheme is applicable. The following codes are considered most relevant. Gympie Planning Area Code The proposed General Industry (Extension to Existing Scrap Metal Yard) is not an inconsistent use in the Rural zone. No specific outcomes of the Code are considered compromised by the proposal. The proposed buildings are 8 metres high and comply with the maximum height provisions.



Erosion and Sediment Control Code No major impacts in relation to erosion and sediment control are envisaged by the development. Stormwater run-off from the storage areas should be monitored given its discharge into the on-site dam and potential overflow into downstream properties. A condition is included in the recommendation requiring the applicant to submit a stormwater drainage plan for the site including measures to be implemented to ensure no discharging of contaminants. Infrastructure Works Code No external works are considered necessary to facilitate the development. Site access and internal works (ie car parking and driveway areas) should be constructed in accordance with an approved plan. The site is not serviced by reticulated water or sewerage which must be provided on-site. Vehicle Parking and Access Code The application proposes a standard commercial cross-over entrance to the property from the lower southern end on the Flood Road frontage. A 6 metre sealed access ramp in the property is also proposed to service both levels. Customer car parking is proposed in the upper level with employee parking on the lower level. Adequate area exists on-site to accommodate the car parking required for the development. Customer access and parking is recommended to be constructed to a sealed standard. Gravel is considered an appropriate standard for the other driveways and staff parking areas but they should be formalised and kept clear at all times. Landscaping Code The application proposes approximately 35% of the land to be retained for landscaping purposes. Such landscaping work can be conditioned and assessed through the compliance stage.



2.3 Local and/or State Planning Policies Only two (2) small sections of the site are indicated to be Class A and B agricultural land on the Good Quality Agricultural Land Overlay of the planning scheme. The proposal is not considered to compromise the intent of State Planning Policy 1/92 in relation to preservation of good quality agricultural land given: - the allocated GQAL is proposed to be retained as landscaping; - the size of the site; and - limited permanent buildings are proposed. 3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Impact on Amenity The development proposed is considered acceptable given other industrial uses in the vicinity and no adverse submissions were received against the proposal. 3.2 Site Access and Traffic The applicant estimates the following traffic generation for the development: - 15-35 customers per day. No estimate of heavy vehicle traffic has been included. Based on the additional loading, the engineering report below recommends road upgrading of Flood Road be undertaken. 3.3 Noise A noise report accompanied the application and indicates the acceptable background criteria is exceeded at the exposed most façade for at least one noise sensitive location for the following noise generating activities: - vehicle crushing; - scrap metal truck loading; and - vehicle cutting. Noise mitigation in the form of a noise barrier and restricted locations for equipment use are recommended.



The noise barrier is required on the southern edge of the proposed crushing area with a minimum top edge RL of 93m. The barrier must be designed to extend long enough that it intercepts any line of sight between Lots 671 and 644 and the area where vehicle crushing and scrap metal truck loading are to occur.

Lots 671 and 644 in relation to the development site. Such conditions are included in the recommendation, and need to refer to the plan below indicating the location of the noise barrier.

Development Site

Lots 671 and 644



3.4 Effluent Disposal The site is not serviced by reticulated sewerage and will be subject to the installation of an approved disposal system through a plumbing application. 3.5 Staff Amenities Workplace Health and Safety legislation may require the provision of staff amenities such as a toilet and lunchroom. Depending on the type of structures proposed building and/or plumbing approval may be required for these. Given the employees proposed, water provided on-site should be of a potable standard and therefore treated in accordance with National Guidelines. 4.0 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION The application was publicly notified in accordance with the Integrated Planning Act and as a result no submissions were received. 5.0 CONSULTATION 5.1 Internal (a) Engineering Report: (Design Services Technical Officer – A.C. Walsh) This engineering report is based on the report submitted by John Towler to develop Lot 80 on CP882519, 54 Flood Road, East Deep Creek into a General Industry (wrecking and scrap yard). TRAFFIC As the proposed development is on land identified as the proposed corridor for the future Bruce Highway, the application was referred to the Department of Main Roads for comment. The Department responded requesting Council to delay the assessment until the results of the purchase negotiations with the owner is known.



LEAD-IN ROAD / FRONTAGE ROAD Flood Road, leading to the proposed development, is constructed to a 7 metre wide bitumen standard from East Deep Creek Road for 280 metres with the remainder of the lead-in road and the frontage road, some 360 metres, being constructed to a 3.6 metre wide bitumen standard. The consultant stated in his report, the development has the potential to generate 35 customers per day. To cater for this additional traffic, the 360 metre section of the lead-in and frontage road should be widened to 7.0 metres with tapers to the existing seal. Council should require this work to be carried out in lieu of a road upgrading contribution as applied to DA10441 (Appianway) and DA10203 (Jones) on Flood Road and East Deep Creek Road respectively. ACCESS / PARKING Council should require the access, main internal driveway to both levels and driveways and parking areas to be sealed. The car body storage and dismantling area on the lower level could be dust reduced gravel. EFFLUENT DISPOSAL This site is outside the sewerage reticulated area and as such all effluent will be required to be treated onsite to meet the requirements of the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code. WATER SUPPLY As the development is not in the reticulated water area, the applicant will be required to provide a water supply to meet the requirements for potable water and of sufficient capacity to meet fire requirements as per the Building Code of Australia. OTHER SERVICES All power and telecommunication services will be required to be provided at the applicants expense. (b) Health Department Council’s Health Department considerations have been incorporated into the recommendations. However, since lodgement of the application, the Environmental Protection Regulation has been amended and ERA #27 which has been applied for is no ERA #20. The recommendation incorporates approval for ERA #20 in this regard.



5.2 External (a) Department of Main Roads The Department of Main Roads were not a formal referral agency for the application, however given the proposed highway by-pass dissects the development site Council referred the application to this agency for third party advice. The Department response requested Council delay assessment of the application given negotiations between the owner and the Department to purchase the property on grounds of hardship. Given their role was to provide third party advice only, they had no formal jurisdiction under the Integrated Planning Act to delay the assessment of the application and at the applicant’s request the application has continued to be assessed. 6.0 CONCLUSION This proposal is for General Industry located in the Rural Zone. This is a consistent use within this zone, and is Impact Assessable development under the provisions of Council’s Planning Scheme. Subject to appropriate conditions to protect noise amenity in the area, the application is supported.

Report: (Craven Ovenden Town Planning and Manager Development and

Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 Introduction This application seeks Council’s approval for a Material Change of Use for the purpose of an Educational or Health Premises (Additions to an existing school) at 175 Old Maryborough Road, Araluen, formally described as Lot 2 on SP138774, Victory College. 1.1 Site Description

• The site is located at 175 Old Maryborough Road, Araluen, and is accessed via four separate driveways from Old Maryborough Road.

• The site includes 1 lot improved by a number of existing buildings which are used for a school. The main school buildings are located at the Old Maryborough Road frontage, with several associated outbuildings and sporting fields at the centre and rear of the site.

• The site comprises some vegetation, in the form of medium to large trees, however much of the site is grassed for children’s play areas.

• Two separate carparks are provided, both adjacent to the road frontage. • A dam is also located on the site, but is physically separated from the

school and play areas. 1.2 The Proposal The application proposes extensions and additions to an existing school, Victory College. In detail, the proposal includes the following:



• Two new specialist teaching Classrooms – a home economics building with food preparation areas and textiles work areas.

• 12 new general purpose teaching classrooms. 4 classrooms are located in a 2 storey building adjacent to an existing amenities and covered area at the eastern side of the site. An additional 4 one-storey buildings are proposed to the east of the existing art and manual arts buildings, also at the eastern side of the site.

• A new multi-purpose sports building, or gymnasium, with 2 multi-purpose courts, to the rear of the existing administration building. The building is to be covered, but no walls are proposed at this stage.

• Science block renovation to remove the existing home economics classroom and replace with storage rooms and teaching annexe.

The application has been supported by: (i) a Traffic Engineering Report prepared by DM Hayes Traffic Engineering

Consultant (ii) an Environmental Noise Assessment prepared by TTM Consulting



1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Land immediately surrounding the site to the north, south, east and west is residential in nature, consisting predominantly of detached dwellings with varying lot sizes. The site is located in a transition area between urban residential and rural residential areas.



2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Overall Outcomes / Desired Environmental Outcomes The overall intent of the Community Zone is primarily to ensure the provision of a broad range of services to maintain the wellbeing of the community centred in Gympie and scattered throughout rural areas. The proposed extensions and additions to the existing school facilities are consistent with the Outcomes of the Gympie Planning Area. The proposal involves the construction of several new buildings which are consistent with the existing character and use of the site. While some of the proposed buildings are located close to the eastern side boundary, this is not considered to be a significant issue given that all adjoining residences are located quite close to the road frontage and so are some distance from the proposed building sites. Additionally, the expectation of adjoining owners residing next to a school must be to anticipate noise from children, teaching and sports activities. 2.2 Overlays / Natural Hazards / State Planning Policies 2.2.1 Natural Waterway and Wetland Areas No development is proposed within the identified waterway at the south-eastern corner of the site. The proposed classroom buildings are located around the waterway area, although there is no physical evidence of a waterway on the site at present. A sportsground (playing field) is to be located in proximity to the identified waterway area. A standard condition ensuring development does not impact on this area is recommended. 2.2.2 Good Quality Agricultural Land The site is identified on Overlay Map OM8 Sheet 2 (Good Quality Agricultural Land) as containing both Classes A and B Good Quality Agricultural Land. Notwithstanding this, in contemplating the need for the provision of community facilities, Council has to rationalise the need to permit expansion against the knowledge that this would compromise the preservation of some existing conditions, overriding GQAL. As the site is located in the Community Zone, is currently used for the purposes of a school and is proposed to continue, it is considered that that State Planning Policy 1/92 is addressed and this is consistent with Council’s approach to the assessment of GQAL to date. 2.2.3 Bushfire Hazard The site is identified on Natural Hazard Map NHM1 (Sheet 2) within a Bushfire Hazard Area. The applicant has not formally addressed this issue however, the site is located in the lower hazard category and extensive clearing has already taken place on the site.



2.2.4 Erosion Hazard The site is identified in the Very Low, Low, Moderate and High Erosion Hazard Area as per Natural Hazard Map NHM2 (Sheet 2). This issue has not been formally addressed by the applicant however, the majority of the site is in the lowest risk category, and it is considered appropriate measures can be imposed at the operational works stage. 2.3 Assessment Against Codes

The applicable Codes include the following:

-Gympie Planning Area Code -Infrastructure Works Code

-Landscaping Code -Erosion and Sediment Control Code -Vehicle Parking & Access -Natural Waterways and Wetlands Code

2.3.1 Gympie Planning Area Code 2.3.1.1 Impact on Amenity The only significant concern with regard to the amenity of adjoining residences involves noise impacts emitted from the proposed new buildings and new sporting field. An environmental noise level study report has been prepared by TTM in support of the application (specifically for the multi-purpose sports area) and concludes that the proposed new multi-purpose sports facility is unlikely to produce a significant increase in noise generated by children playing on the courts at lunch time, after school or during school hours. An existing outdoor basketball court is currently located in the same location as the proposed new courts, so noise readings are considered to be largely reflective of the proposed situation. It is noted in the supporting noise report that the roof over the courts will, to some degree, amplify the noise generated by children playing on the courts, but that the impact of this is not expected to be significant. The report concludes that as noise levels will tend to remain the same as currently experienced no acoustic treatments are recommended. Potential impact from light emission is to comply with the Probable Solution of the Code and this is to be enforced by a standard condition. Notwithstanding this, the proposal involves an educational establishment, so generally does not involve evening activities on a regular basis.



2.3.1.2 Scale, Siting and Provision of Buildings, Structures and Other Works The proposed new buildings have been designed in accordance with the provisions of the Code. All buildings are set back some distance from the site boundaries and range from 1 to 2 storeys in height. The new buildings have been sited to respond to the topography and features of the land. The buildings are not located in the mapped waterway area at the south-eastern corner of the site. The design of the proposed building itself is in accordance with the provisions of the Code, incorporating various architectural features and articulation in building appearance. 2.3.2 Infrastructure Works Code

2.3.2.2 Services The site is connected to reticulated water and sewerage. The site has access to electricity and telecommunications infrastructure. 2.3.2.4 Stormwater No details have been provided. A condition is recommended requiring the provision of stormwater drainage services in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 8: Infrastructure Works.

An Operational Works application must be submitted prior to the construction

of any works. Standard approval conditions will also apply.

2.2.3 Landscaping Code The applicant has not provided an assessment against this Code and given the existing landscaping on-site additional requirements are not recommended to be imposed. 2.2.4 Erosion and Sediment Control Code The applicant has agreed to accept a condition requiring the preparation of a Construction and Operational Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. The site is mostly in the lowest Erosion Hazard area and so is not considered to be a significant hazard. Standard approval conditions will be imposed.



2.3.5 Vehicle Parking and Access Code The proposal involves the addition of a new carpark, comprising 17 parking spaces, linked to one of the existing carparks directly adjacent to the front boundary. In accordance with Schedule 10: Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements under the Planning Scheme, the proposal involves an additional 12 parking spaces to service the increased staff for the 12 new classrooms. No additional parking is proposed for the new specialist teaching classrooms as no additional staff or students are generated by these facilities. 5 spaces are provided for students of driving age, which is considered to be acceptable in this case. 2.4 LOCAL AND/OR STATE PLANNING POLICIES No Local or State Planning Policies are applicable to this application. 3.0 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION The application is Code Assessable and does not require public notification. 4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – A. Laszlo) This engineering report is based on the report dated April 2008 and additional information submitted by Martoo Consulting.

TRAFFIC As part of the Consultant’s report expected traffic figures were supplied by DM Hayes Traffic Engineering Consultant. These figures are acceptable for this development. As this application is one of the stages proposed, the contribution could be calculated on the basis that each classroom accommodates 25 children as per previous application DA09288 with an EP rate of 0.63 calculated in DM Hayes traffic report for primary school students. This equates to a contribution of $4693.50 per classroom subject to PPI increases. As there is no concrete footpath in this general area it is considered reasonable that the above contribution be used for intersections improvements and concrete footpaths.



FRONTAGE ROAD/ACCESS Old Maryborough Road is constructed to a two lane bitumen with kerb and channel and without a concrete footpath to the frontage of the development. A 1.2 metre reinforced concrete footpath should be constructed for the full development frontage. The proposed car parking will be accessed from the existing driveway. The proposed car parking is to comply with AS2890.1. STORMWATER Run off from the sealed car parking area and building should be captured on site and discharged as per the requirements of the Planning Scheme into the existing stormwater system on site.

WATER/SEWERAGE Both services are available with adequate capacity in each. As this development is on the same lot of the existing College, services will be required to be connected into the existing system. Any upgrade required to the existing system is to be at the developer’s cost. Headwork’s charges are applicable based on Council’s Policy.

OTHER SERVICES Street lighting is adequate in this location. 4.2 External 4.2.1 Referral Agencies The application was referred to Queensland Transport as a Concurrence Agency, given that the proposal involves a school and is identified in the thresholds in Schedule 13 of the Integrated Planning Regulations 1998. The Department had no requirements with respect to this application. The application also required referral to the Department of Main Roads as a Concurrence Agency, because the use involves an educational establishment and is listed in the thresholds in Schedule 5 of the Integrated Planning Regulations 1998. Due to an oversight, referral of the application to the Department of Main Roads has not occurred however Council’s determination of the proposal is sought due to time constraints with government funding. Previous experience indicates Main Roads are unlikely to impose extensive conditions on these additions.



5.0 CONCLUSION The application proposes a Material Change of Use for an Education or Health Premises (extensions and additions to an existing school) at 175 Old Maryborough Road, Araluen, formally described as Lot 2 on SP138774 which is consistent with the zoning and all of the relevant provisions of the Planning Scheme. The development proposes 12 new classrooms in a number of one and two storey buildings, a new multi-purpose sporting area, new specialist teaching classrooms (home economics classrooms) and refurbishment of an existing science/home economics building. The application is recommended for approval, subject to conditions detailed in the recommendation and as explained in the report.

SECTION 1: STRATEGIC PLANNING MATTERS

1/1 Local Heritage Register Information Night

Re: Minute: P17/04/09 Local Heritage Register Information Night From: Manager Strategic Planning File: 6/6/07/0001 Date: 20th March 2009 Report: (Manager Strategic Planning – K.A. Rolfe) 1.0 INFORMATION NIGHT AGENDA Around 35 property owners or their representatives attended the Local Heritage Register Information Night held on 10th March 2009. On arrival all received a folder containing copies of the Heritage and Character Code, Queensland Heritage Act Regulation 2003 containing the State IDAS code, a copy of the relevant entry in the Local Heritage Register and the assessment of their property in the Heritage Study. Cr Dyne introduced the evening and a Powerpoint presentation followed. The information appeared to be received well. People were advised that the planning scheme is to be revised and that further consultation will be held in the coming years. A discussion and question time was then held. While people wanted to voice their concerns the meeting proceeded well with everyone having their opportunity to speak. During refreshments the owners were able to talk to the councillors present and myself. 2.0 ISSUES ARISING 2.1 No letter received during planning scheme consultation phase Some of the attendees reported that while they owned the property during the planning scheme consultation period they did not receive the letter inviting them to remove themselves from the List of Heritage Places. Had they received the letter they would have submitted an objection. Research confirms that a number of property owners were not sent letters.



2.2 Planning scheme objection submitted in time but still on register Research confirms that several people submitted their objections within the statutory timeframe but their properties were not removed from the List of Heritage Places as requested. 2.3 Property purchased after objection period and before gazettal of

scheme The property owners in this category missed the opportunity to object to the listing and were therefore unaware of the impacts of the impending gazettal of the scheme. 2.4 Property owners needing advice There were a number of owners keen to receive more detailed advice on how they could implement the intention of the Heritage and Character Code. I advised that I would be raising this issue with Council due to the lack of architectural expertise within Council and the Heritage Advisory Committee to competently provide such advice. 2.5 Property owners proud A number of the owners expressed their great interest in preserving the heritage of the Gympie Region. 3.0 FUTURE ACTION Council’s decision to contact all owners affected by the Heritage and Character Code during the planning scheme consultation phase was over and above the statutory requirements legislated by the Integrated Planning Act 1997. Therefore the errors that occurred associated with carrying out this Council resolution have no impact on the validity of the Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme. Council’s intention is to review the three planning schemes it currently administers and to draft a new planning scheme for the Gympie Regional Council area. This is the appropriate time to review the current provisions and those places that should be regulated in the interests of conserving the heritage of the area. Council may also wish to discuss an appropriate mechanism for supporting owners of heritage places at this time.



P17/04/09 Moved: Cr J. Watt Seconded: Cr R.J. Dyne

Recommend that Council advises property owners with queries regarding the Local Heritage Register that its intention is to review the three planning schemes it currently administers and draft a new planning scheme for the Gympie Regional Council area. During the review process Council will consider all of the issues raised by owners at the Local Heritage Register information night, and those raised generally through the statutory consultation period in determining appropriate provisions relating to the conservation of Gympie Region’s heritage places.

Property Description The BMX (Bicycle Motocross) facility located at Billabong Park, Cooloola Cove is on land legally described as Lot 753 on RP174254. According to the 2005 Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme the land is designated as Community. The land is constrained by Acid Sulphate Soil and Bushfire Prone Area.



Committee Recommendation On the 17th March, 2009 at the Sport Recreation and Parks Coordinating Committee it was resolved to recommend the following in relation to Section 1.7 – BMX / Billabong Park; “That the Committee recommend to Council that the Cooloola Cove Residents and Friends be advised that the BMX track is to remain where it is and there is no intention to replicate the park at Centenary of Federation Park”. “That the Committee recommend that Council advise the Cooloola Cove Residents and Friends as follows: The Cooloola Shire Open Space and Recreation Plan 2007 recommended that a master plan be undertaken for the Centenary of Federation Park. This will be considered by Gympie Regional Council at forthcoming budget considerations.”

P18/04/09 Moved: Cr J. Watt Seconded: Cr G.L. Engeman

Recommend that Council advise the Cooloola Cove Residents & Friends Inc. that the BMX track is to remain at its current location and that Centenary of Federation Park would be considered for master planning in the forthcoming budget.
