SECTION 1: STRATEGIC PLANNING MATTERS

1/1 Elgin Vale Sawmill Museum Status and Conservation Management Planning

Re: P03/09/11 Elgin Vale Sawmill From: Planning and Development Directorate File: 2/4/04/0013 Date: 24 August 2011 Reference: SG04/06/11 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report responds to Budget deliberations in relation to Elgin Vale Sawmill. The outcomes of those deliberations were that: The status of the Elgin Vale Sawmill is a static museum; and Funds for development of a Conservation Management Plan be

referred to the 2012/2013 Budget Deliberations. PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATIONS SG04/06/11 “Recommend that Council refers the status of the Elgin Vale Sawmill as a static museum to a future Planning and Development committee meeting. Further that the Conservation Management Plan be referred to a future Budget.” CS06/02/11 “Recommend that Council acknowledge the maintenance issues at the Elgin Vale Sawmill contained within this report, and that the matter relating to the costing of the maintenance works be referred to the 2011/2012 Draft Budget meeting for Council’s consideration. Further, it is recommended that Council endorse the concept of Elgin Vale Sawmill operating as a ‘Static Museum’.”



Report: (Strategic Planning Officer – R. N. Halse) 1. INTRODUCTION Council Minute (SG04/0611) where it states “the matter regarding the museum status of the Elgin Vale Sawmill be referred to a future Planning and Development meeting” has effectively been actioned because on the 23 February 2011 Council resolved to endorse Elgin Vale Sawmill as a ‘Static Museum’, see Council minute (CS06/02/11). In respect to conservation management planning, Council resolved not to allocate funding in the 2011/2012 budget, referring the matter to budget deliberations for 2012/2013.

2. ASSESSMENT The need for Conservation Management Plan is highlighted by the list of the maintenance and development issues identified below.

Raise supporting stumps; Create water diversion channels at the front of the mill to mitigate

flooding and water pooling under the building; Repair guttering; Repair damaged roof; Termite treatment; Replace unstable flooring and other timber products deemed to be

unsafe. In addition subject to Council support, the following dot points identify ancillary works designed to improve the function of the museum: Develop well researched interpretive signage; Improve and upgrade, where necessary, public access points; Introduce new, non-obtrusive barriers between the mill equipment

and the public; Develop an unsealed (gravel) car park. 3. STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS Corporate Plan Outcome 3.5 ‘Recognise and promote the history and heritage of the Gympie Region’.



Operational Plan 4.3 (v) - Heritage Planning & Awareness

To recognise, promote and protect the cultural heritage resources of the Region in order to ensure that new development respects and, where ever possible, enhances these resources.

Budget Refer the matter of $25,000 for a Conservation Management Plan to the 2012/2013 Budget Deliberations. Legal/Statutory Queensland Heritage Act 1992 – Division 3 – Section 87 (2) “The chief executive may give the owner of the place a notice (the maintenance notice) require the owner to carry out the essential maintenance work stated in the notice.”

Division Section 87 (7) defines essential maintenance work: “Essential maintenance work, in relation to State heritage place, means work of a minor nature that, if carried out on the place, would help to prevent serious or irreparable damage to, or deterioration of, the place.”

Risks (Medium) Without forward planning for the maintenance and development of the site it runs the risk of falling into a state of dilapidation. 4. CONCLUSION In conclusion it is recommended that Council refer the allocation of $25,000 to develop a Conservation Management Plan to the 2012/2013 Draft Budget Deliberations.

5. CONSULTATION Not required. 6. ATTACHMENTS Nil

Cr J.A. Walker presented the award to Council and it was agreed to display the award in the public area of Council’s 242 Mary Street Office.



SECTION 2: PLANNING APPLICATIONS

2/1 2011–0902 – Material Change of Use - Multi–Residential (Duplex) – 25 Habitat Circuit, Cooloola Cove – John Franklin

FILE: P04/09/11 2011-0902 APPLICANT: John Franklin RPD: Lot 109 SP 207314 SITE: 25 Habitat Circuit Cooloola Cove PROPOSAL: Multi-Residential – Duplex EXISTING ZONE: Housing PLANNING AREA: Cooloola Coast Planning Area LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code SITE AREA: 1000m2



KEY POINT SUMMARY

Cooloola Coast Planning Area; Zoned Housing; Multi-Residential (Duplex); Two (2) x Three (3) bedroom units; Referred to DERM for Advice (Land within 100mts of Wetlands); Proposed development site currently vacant; Proposal is Code Assessable (Inconsistent Use) development; Development site Lot 109 SP207314 = 1000m2; Proposed development generally complies with the Cooloola

Coast Planning Area Code, Multi-Residential Code, Driveways & Cross-overs Code, Infrastructure Works Code, Landscaping Code, Vehicle Parking and Access Code, Natural Waterways & Wetland Areas Code, Acid Sulfate Soils Code and the Cooloola Cut & Fill Code;

Development site within 280m of approved duplex developments (GRC DA12436) at 37, 41 & 43 Creekside Esplanade, Cooloola Cove;

Although the proposal is Code Assessable (Inconsistent Use) development, approval is justified as the proposed development is consistent with surrounding land use i.e. residential allotments with predominantly single dwelling and multi-residential (duplex) development, generally complies with the relevant planning scheme codes and is supported by the Draft Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan.

Report: (Cadet Planning Officer – P. Meredith) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal The application seeks Council approval to erect a dual occupancy (duplex) over lot 109 SP207134 – 25 Habitat Circuit, Cooloola Cove. The proposed development comprises of two (2) three (3) bedroom units sharing a common wall. Each unit includes two (2) bathrooms, laundry, open plan kitchen/dining and living area, rear verandah and double carport. The proposed development will have a combined Gross Floor Area of 252m2.



1.2 Site Description The proposed development site is located at 25 Habitat Circuit – Lot 109 SP207134 in the Cooloola Sands estate and has an area of 1000m2 of generally flat land cleared of major vegetation. Adjoining the site along the north-eastern and north-western boundaries there is dedicated parkland and to the south-west and adjacent to the site are



residential allotments. Access to the site is off Habitat Circuit which is a sealed Kerb and channelled road. The site is serviced by reticulated water and sewerage services and has access to communication and electricity infrastructure.



1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Land uses within the area are predominately single dwelling residential. However in nearby Creekside Esplanade there are four (4) lots with duplex development approval approximately 280m from the proposed development site in Habitat Circuit. The duplex development in Creekside Esplanade was approved on the 7 February 2006 (DA123436). The proposed development site is within close proximity to a commercial and retail centre, parkland and other community facilities. 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Draft Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan The subject site is wholly located within the ‘Urban Footprint’ area within the Draft Wide Bay Burnett State Planning Regulatory Provisions 2010. The DWBBRP supports the efficient use of land within the Urban Footprint to achieve a compact settlement pattern consolidating urban development in established communities. The proposed development can be seen as development that is in keeping with these principles. 2.2 Planning Scheme Requirements The application for MCU – Multi-Residential (Duplex) in the Cooloola Coast Planning Area - Housing Zone is ‘Code Assessable’ (Inconsistent) development. The following codes apply to the assessment: Cooloola Coast Planning Area Code Multi-Residential Code Erosion & Sediment Control Code Landscaping Code Infrastructure Works Code Vehicle Parking & Access Code Natural Waterways & Wetland Areas Code 2.2.1 Cooloola Coast Planning Area Code The proposal is not considered to compromise any probable solutions of the Cooloola Coast Planning Area Code which relate to amenity, noise impacts, emissions and the scale, siting and provision of buildings, structures and other works. However under the code Multi-Residential development is considered ‘Inconsistent’ development as the site is not within the Mixed Housing Preferred Use Area.



Although the proposed development is defined as being ‘Inconsistent’ development, the scale of the proposed development can be seen as being consistent with surrounding land uses and compatible with the existing amenity of the area. The proposed development is on a larger residential allotment of 1000m2 and is within close proximity to existing duplex developments and has dedicated parkland bordering two boundaries. Existing duplexes within the Cooloola Sands estate have been previously supported by Council based on it being a developing area with no established development and expectations. 2.2.2 Multi-Residential Code The proposal complies with the Multi Residential Code minimum requirements for Duplex development. Site coverage for the development is 34%, below the 40% maximum nominated in the planning scheme. Plot ratio also meets scheme requirements. Each dwelling unit provides at least 140m2 of private open space and minimum dimensions of 10 metres. The unit also meets the requirement of having at least one area with minimum dimensions of 4 metres. This is considered to comply with regard to the Specific Outcome. 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. The application proposes each individual unit will be responsible for their own refuse storage bins. It is acceptable to not require an enclosed refuse storage area for the additional unit. The resident of the additional unit will therefore wheel out their own refuse bin. This is considered acceptable with regard to the Specific Outcome. Maximum height in the Gympie Planning Area for the Housing Zone is 8.5 metres and two storeys. The proposal is one storey and achieves the maximum height requirements. The proposal complies with this requirement. Dwelling intensity complies with requirements of one (1) dwelling per 250m2 of site area proposing a total of two dwellings for the 1000m2 lot. The building achieves minimum setbacks in accordance with the planning scheme provisions for multi-residential development.



2.2.3 Erosion & Sediment Control Code Conditions can be imposed to ensure compliance with the code. 2.2.4 Landscaping Code The proposal generally complies with the minimum requirements for Multi-Residential development. Schedule Table 8 Minimum Landscaping Dimensions and Works for Making a Material Change of Use nominates the following landscaping for multi-residential developments: (a) a minimum 2 metres wide and averaging at least 3 metres wide

along all frontages where buildings are not built to the boundary; (b) a minimum of 2m wide along each side and rear boundary where

buildings are not built to the boundary; and (c) one advanced feature tree per 300m2 of site area or part thereof

planted within the landscaped area along any frontage. The proposal generally complies with the minimum landscaping requirements for Multi-Residential (Duplex) development and meets the Overall and Specific Outcomes of the Landscaping Code. The development site is boarded at the rear and northern boundary by parkland and a condition of the Decision Notice will stipulate that: A 1.8 metre high solid timber paling (or other material approved by Council) fence is to be erected along side and rear boundaries of the development site. This condition, the proposed landscaping and the site being boarded by parkland on the rear and northern side boundary will ensure nearby residential amenity. 2.2.5 Infrastructure Works Code The site is serviced by all required urban infrastructure items. 2.2.6 Vehicle Parking & Access Code Schedule 10 Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements for Multi-Residential requires: (b) Second dwellings on the same lot as a dwelling house – 1 covered space exclusively for the users of the second dwelling.



The proposal indicates that two (2) covered vehicle parking spaces are to be provided for each unit dwelling. 2.2.7 Natural Waterways & Wetland Areas Code The Overall Outcomes of the Natural Waterways and Wetland Areas Code seeks to ensure that the ecological values and environmental functions of natural waterways, natural wetland areas and wetland protection areas are retained or enhanced and are protected from the adverse impacts of development. The proposed development will have minimal impact upon the wetland area as conditions can be imposed to ensure compliance with the relevant codes and protect the wetland area from adverse environmental impacts. 3.0 CONSULTATION 3.1 Internal (a) Design Services Division Report: (Design Services Civil Engineer – BJ Garrad) This engineering report is based on the information submitted by consultants JFP Urban Consultants P/L for the proposed development. TRAFFIC The proposed development will attract additional traffic. On this basis a contribution of $2,214.30 is applicable under Planning Scheme Policy 13. FRONTAGE ROAD and ACCESS The development has 28 metres of frontage to Habitat Circuit, an Urban Local road servicing 24 lots. Habitat Circuit is fully constructed to 5.5 metres with kerb and channel. The posted speed limit is 50 km/h with less than 500 vehicles per day traffic volume. Access to Tin Can Bay Road is via Sanctuary Way, Queen Elizabeth Drive and Bayside Road which is classified Sub-Arterial road. The proposed access is centrally located on the lot frontage and will allow access to the two covered car parks either side of the driveway. The access is located on a curve but sight distance at the access point is adequate.



CAR PARKING There is provision for four (4) covered car parking spaces located between the building façade and the road frontage with a 7.75 metre wide aisle and manoeuvring area between them to allow forward entrance and exit from the site. The car parking spaces are of adequate length and width for this application. WATER SUPPLY There is a 150 mm water main running along the Habitat Circuit frontage of the site to supply water from Council’s reticulated system to the site. Headworks charges to be applied as determined by the Planning Directorate. SEWERAGE RETICULATION A sewer line is located within the site along the road frontage. The proposed covered car parks are shown over the sewer line in conflict with Council’s Building Over Sewers Policy. Further assessment will be required prior to applying for building approval. Headworks to be applied as determined by Council’s Planning Directorate. FLOODING The level of the lot is between 5.5 and 5.75 AHD, which is above the minimum habitable floor level for this area. STORMWATER DRAINAGE Drainage infrastructure exits on Habitat Circuit in the form of kerb and channel and in-line gully pits feeding 375mm pipes which in turn feed into a 750mm pipe running along Habitat Circuit. A 2 metre wide drainage easement containing a 675mm inter-allotment drainage line exists at the rear of the site. Roof water from the development is to be piped to the inter-allotment drain at the rear. The lot is relatively flat so surface water can flow to the parkland reserve at the rear or the street frontage where it will be captured in the road drainage system. MISCELLANEOUS Power and communication services to be provided at the applicant’s expense. A streetlight exists at the western corner of the frontage.



3.2 External (a) Department of Environment and Resource Management The site is within 100m of a referable wetland which triggered referral to the Department of Environment and Resource Management as an Advice Agency. Council has received a response from DERM on the 22 July 2011 in regards to the proposed development. 4.0 CONCLUSION Material Change of Use Multi-Residential development within the Cooloola Coast Planning Area - Housing Zone is considered Code assessable ‘Inconsistent’ development under the Cooloola Shire Council Planning Scheme 2005. Although the proposed development is deemed ‘Inconsistent’ development the scale of the development can be seen as being consistent with the surrounding land use of the residential estate. The surrounding land use is mainly single dwelling residential but there are also four (4) allotments that have been approved and developed for Multi-Residential (Duplex) use within approximately 280m of the site. The DWBBRP Urban Footprint Principles support the efficient use of land to achieve a compact settlement pattern by consolidating urban development in established communities. The proposal intends to construct two (2) by three (3) bedroom units on a 1000m2 lot. Considering that the minimum lot size for Multi-Residential (Duplex) is 800m2 and the minimum lot size for the Housing Zone is 600m2 this development exceeds the minimum requirements without overdeveloping the site and should be considered as development that is consistent with DWBBRP Urban Footprint Principles. As of January 2008 Class 1 and 2 buildings must comply with the Queensland Development Code 4.1, 4.2 & 4.3 which requires mandatory water saving devices and systems to minimize the use of reticulated water and maximize water saving efficiency. This development will comply with the requirements of the QDC codes and this will alleviate Council concern that water supply allocation will be exceeded for this allotment. Considering that the proposed development generally complies with the relevant codes for assessment, is supported by the DWBBRP Urban Footprint Principles and there is previous Multi-Residential (Duplex) development approved in the immediate vicinity, the proposal represents appropriate use of the site and has provided sufficient grounds for approval subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.

FILE NO: P06/09/11 2011-0193 APPLICANT: Pakrat Pty Ltd LANDOWNER: Shaun Kelly & Robyn Kelly RPD: Lot 3 RP228940 AREA: 3.949Ha (39 490m²) SITE ADDRESS: 31 Scrub Road, Gunalda CURRENT USE OF LAND: Single detached dwelling, shed

structures, fuel depot, sand & gravel yard and concrete batching facility

PROPOSAL: Commercial facility (Showroom – Hardware Store)

ZONE: Industry PLANNING AREA: Tiaro LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Impact Assessable SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED: Nil



KEY POINT SUMMARY Application for Commercial Facility (Showroom – Hardware Store) Site Area (Lot 3 RP228940): 39 490m² Site is zoned as Industry The application was publicly notified and no submissions were

received A (non-approved) Hardware Store currently operates from the

existing shed Approval of the MCU will allow formalisation of existing

arrangements (e.g. carparking and manoeuvring) Application recommended for APPROVAL. Report: (Planning Officer – L. M. Farrelly) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This application seeks Material Change of Use (MCU) approval for an existing industrial site in Gunalda to include a Hardware Store in an existing shed. 1.1 Site Description & Surrounding Land Uses

The subject site is situated at 31 Scrub Road, Gunalda and is described as Lot 3 on RP228940. The site is on the northern urban edge of the Gunalda Township.



The site is subject to an approved reconfiguration of a Lot (1 Lot into 6 Lots – R177/07). The proposed hardware store is located on proposed lot 2 of the reconfiguration (on the corner of Cotter Drive and Scrub Road). There is a residential subdivision opposite the allotment, approximately 170m west of the subject shed. The site currently includes several structures including a detached dwelling, sheds, a fuel pump, sand & gravel yard and concrete batching facility. The concrete batching facility was approved by the Tiaro Shire Council (refer MCU175/07). 1.2 The Proposal The proposal involves the establishment of a Hardware Store within an existing shed on the site. It is noted that a commercial use is currently operating in the shed (no building works are proposed as part of the subject application). The existing shed is 473m² in area. The applicants reside on the site and operate commercial industrial operations from the site including a fuel depot, sand and gravel yard, and concrete batching facility. The proposed hardware store is considered consistent with these established uses. The shed is set back over 15m from the Cotter Drive frontage, and over 30m to the Scrub Road frontage. The area between the shed is grassed with some garden beds. The existing (non-approved) Hardware Store operating from the shed currently sells general hardware items (e.g. timber, paint, gates, brackets, pipe, fence posts etc.). The use operations are summarised in the Town Planning Report prepared by Murray and Associates:

The proposed use is intended to trade by the name of Rock Solid Sand and Gravel and Hardware… The proposed hardware store will supply the community of Gunalda and surrounding areas with the essential tools needed for building, construction and maintenance around the garden offering the ‘do it yourselves’ and tradespersons an alternative supply of hardware rather than travelling 30 kilometres (30 minutes) into the Gympie Service Centre.

Access is achieved via a sealed crossover to Scrub Road. The internal car parking and manoeuvring areas are partially sealed, but not formally line marked.



The Hardware will trade seven (7) days a week from 7am-4pm from Monday to Saturday and from 7am to 12noon on Sundays. Site Photographs

Proposal Plans



2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Zone, definition and level of assessment. The site is zoned as Industrial in the Tiaro Planning Scheme. The proposed use is defined as ‘Commercial Facilities’ as it involves the retail sale of goods. A Material Change of Use for Commercial Facilities is Impact Assessable under the provisions of the Planning Scheme and therefore subject to public notification. The application is assessable against the entire planning scheme. Commercial Facilities are not specified as either a Consistent or Inconsistent use in the Industry Zone. The nature of the use (Hardware Store as outlined in section 1.2) is considered consistent with the intention of the Industry Zone.



2.2 Planning Scheme Assessment The most appropriate codes within the 2005 Tiaro Shire Planning Scheme have been outlined below. Any non-compliance is noted and a planning comment is provided. Industry Zone Code Non Compliance – Nil Comment: The proposed Hardware Store is within an existing shed. In this context, compliance with the Industry Zone Code is achieved.

Commercial Facilities Code Non Compliance: SO (b): The application does not comply with minimum car parking spaces requirements. Based on the proposed GFA, 18.92 (19) carparks should be provided. The proposal nominates 10 car parks for employees and customers. Comment: The application does not comply with the Planning Scheme with regards to carparking. Justification for the non-compliance is provided in the applicant’s Town Planning Report:

…(19 carparks) seems excessive for the proposed use. In this regard, the hardware store is not expected to generate more than 5 to 7 customers on the site at any one point…

The reduced car parking amount (10 carparks) is considered acceptable as there are large hardstand areas already provided on the site which can be easily linemarked if parking demand substantially increases. Furthermore, site visits confirm that the applicant’s estimate regarding patronage is probably accurate and that the provision of 10 marked car spaces will be adequate. The formalisation and linemarking of the existing arrangement will improve the current situation. General Development Code Non Compliance: SO (a) (ii): Water and sewerage is not supplied to the site. SO (d): The proposal does not comply with number of minimum car parking spaces (refer justification above). SO (e) (vi): Car parking area to landscaped with a 2.0m wide planted and maintained buffer strip along access routes, side, rear boundaries and street frontages. Comment: Connection to the sewer and water network is not achievable and existing on-site effluent disposal and water tanks will continue to service the site.



The use is to be conducted in an existing shed which is setback over 15m from the closest road frontage and set in existing landscaped areas (consisting primarily of mown grass and some garden beds - refer to photographs 1-5). Considering the surrounding land uses, landscape buffer strips to all hardstand areas is not considered a reasonable imposition on the development. It will however, be conditioned that the existing landscaping between the shed and the road frontages remain.

Landscaping & Buffer Code Non Compliance: SO (b) (ii): A minimum of one shade tree should be provided for every 6 car parking spaces. SO (b) (iii): Trees within car parking areas should be protected by raised kerbs, wheel stops or bollards. SO (b) (iv): Trees planted within car parking areas should be provided with a minimum planting area of 1.2m2, with a minimum topsoil depth on 0.2m Comment: Refer to comment regarding landscaping to hardstand areas above. In the context that the hardstand areas are already established as part of a current approved use (Fuel Depot), no additional landscaping is proposed to the existing hardstand area. It is noted that existing landscaping to the road frontages will be conditioned to remain. Natural Features and Resources Overlay Code Non Compliance – Nil Comment: The proposed Hardware Store is within an existing shed. In this context, compliance with the Natural Features and Resources Overlay Code is achieved. 3.0 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION The application was advertised for public comment in accordance with the requirements of the Sustainable Planning Act and no submissions were received. 4.0 CONCLUSION The application proposes a Hardware Store in the Industry Zone which is considered compatible with both the intent of the Industry Zone, and the established industrial uses on the site. A reduction in carparking is considered acceptable in the context of the proposed use, and the existing arrangements.

Approval - Low Impact Industry – Storage Shed for four (4) School Buses

ZONE: Rural Residential PLANNING AREA: Tiaro

KEY POINT SUMMARY Existing approval is for low impact industry for a storage shed for

four (4) school buses; Approved by Council at Planning and Development Committee

Meeting 4 May 2011;



Request increase in height of approved shed from 4m height to 6m height;

Maximum building height in the Rural Residential Zone is 8m; Recommended that the request to change approval be

EXISTING SHED PLANS



PROPOSED SHED PLANS Report: (Planning Officer – L.M. Farrelly) Introduction Council issued an approval at a Planning and Development Committee Meeting (4 May 2011) for the use of a rural residential property in Curra for a bus depot to store four (4) school buses. The original application was for an Impact Assessable Material Change of Use (MCU) for Low Impact Industry.



Proposal Dimensions of the currently approved shed are 16m (wide) x 15m (long) x 4m (high). The request to change seeks to increase the height of the approved bus storage shed from 4m to 6m. The increase in height is to accommodate structural engineering revisions to the shed design (the inclusion of knee braces) in order to achieve an internal clearance of 3.7 meters in height. This clearance is required to accommodate the buses (as approved). Tiaro Planning Scheme Acceptable solution (c) (i) of section 4.8 Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions for the Rural Zone in the Tiaro Planning Scheme nominates a maximum allowable building height of 8m. The land use has already been approved, and issues identified in the original MCU primarily related to the location of the land use, amenity and traffic generation. A minor increase in the shed height (within the maximum building height) is not considered to represent any significant impact. Council Staff Comment – Planning Officer – (L.M. Farrelly)

Condition 18 be amended from:

The approved bus storage shed is to have a maximum height of 4 meters.

to

The approved bus storage shed is to have a maximum height of 6 meters.

The resubmitted proposal plans depicting natural ground level and a maximum height of 6m should also be endorsed.

SECTION 3: RECONFIGURING A LOT APPLICATIONS

3/1 2011-0534 - Reconfiguring a Lot - Subdivision to Create Two (2) lots from One (1) Lot - 53 Upper Widgee Road, Widgee - Ahern James Naismith

FILE: P08/09/11 2011-0534 APPLICANT: Ahern James Naismith Pty Ltd LANDOWNER: Hayden M Payne & Ian N Payne RPD: Lot 52 on RP181953 SITE: 53 Upper Widgee Road, Widgee PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision

to create two (2) lots from one (1) lot

PLANNING SCHEME: Kilkivan PLANNING AREA: Rural Residential LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Impact (within 200m of land shown

on SMOA map 2D - GQAL) SITE AREA: 40 720m2 (4.072 Ha)



KEY POINT SUMMARY

The application is for Reconfiguring a Lot to create two (2) lots from one (1) lot;

The proposed lots are 1.2Ha and 2.872 Ha in area, which comply with the minimum lot size (1Ha);

The subject application is Impact Assessable because it contains Good Quality Agricultural Land, however, the opportunities for agricultural pursuits are limited in the context of site area and surrounding land uses;

One (1) properly made submission (objection) was received, all issues raised can be mitigated;

The proposal is recommended to be approved. Report: (Planning Officer – L. M. Farrelly) 1.0 THE PROPOSAL While potentially Code Assessable (and therefore able to be decided under delegated authority), the subject application is elevated to Impact Assessable because the site is partially mapped as containing Good Quality Agricultural Land. However, site context (land area, zoning, surrounding land uses, property values etc.) diminishes the ability of the land to be used for any meaningful agricultural pursuits. The subject site is located at 53 Upper Widgee Road, Widgee. The site is described as Lot 52 on RP 181953. The site is directly opposite the Widgee sportsgrounds and is about 400m west of the Widgee General Store. The application is assessable against the Kilkivan Planning Scheme and is located in the Rural Residential locality. The purpose of the subdivision is to create one additional lot to facilitate an additional dwelling. The development is consistent with the surrounding land uses. Lot size and frontage is compliant with the planning scheme and is compatible with established lot sizes in the locality. On-site effluent disposal will be established. A compliant Reconfiguration arrangement is proposed by the applicant. The matter is reported to Council because a submission was received during the notification period.



2.0 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION The application was advertised for public comment in accordance with the requirements of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. One (1) submission was made by an adjoining landowner (the immediately eastern allotment).



2.1 Grounds for Submission Several issues were raised in the submission as follows: Submitter issue Staff comments Not enough information provided regarding proposed housing type and location of dwelling. This raises issues with privacy etc.

Any dwelling built on the allotment will have to comply with all standard minimum setbacks. It is anticipated that the proposed lot will facilitate the construction of a single detached dwelling. This is considered compatible with surrounding land uses and will be subject to a further building approval.

Concern that the proposal plans seem to nominate a further subdivision for 6 residential lots

It is noted that the Proposal Plans are somewhat misleading in this regard. The subject application is only for 2 lots (1 additional lot). Any further subdivision will be subject to a new development application.

Concern that effluent disposal may enter the creek, particularly with 6 new lots

Only 2 lots are proposed. The proposed lots are of an appropriate size to facilitate on-site effluent disposal.

Concern that the proposed new lot will not be able to sustain itself with a water supply (and pumping from the Widgee Creek will be required)

Appropriate measures will be incorporated into subsequent building approvals to ensure a suitable water supply (e.g. rainwater tanks).

Concern koala trees will be removed

Approval of the proposed reconfiguration will not facilitate any substantial land clearing.

General comment – It would appear the submitter is understandably unclear regarding the exact scale of the application. While only one additional lot is proposed, ‘shadow’ lines are included on the proposed Reconfiguration plan that depict the creation of a further 6 lots. It is noted that the subject application is only to create one (1) additional lot, and any further subdivision will be subject to a new Reconfiguration of a Lot Application.

3.0 CONCLUSION The proposal complies with Council’s Planning Scheme requirements and it is recommended that the application be approved.

1.0 INTRODUCTION This application was previously reported to Council’s Planning and Development committee Meeting on 17 august where it was resolved vide minute P17/08/11 to: ‘Recommend that the application be referred to the next Planning and Development Committee Meeting for consideration. Further that Councillors inspect the site prior to the meeting.’ 2.0 PREVIOUS REPORT A copy of the previous report follows. Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Proposal

This application is for a Material Change of Use for a Food or Entertainment Venue on land zoned Rural. The proposed development consists of a single storey building with a gross floor area of 468m2 and is intended to operate ‘primarily as a restaurant with the ability to hold functions on the site’. Proposed operating hours are:

Lunch (10am – 4pm) – 7 days a week Dinner (5pm – midnight) – Friday – Sunday; and Functions (specialising in weddings) – as required.

The proposed building has been designed to accommodate a maximum of one hundred (100) persons at any one time. It is proposed to provide parking for twenty six (26) vehicles on a compacted gravel area. Access to the site will be from a new single entry point off Tagigan Road.



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

The site is identified on the following Overlay Maps:

OM4 Conservation Significant (Local Eco Value Area) OM8 Good Quality Agricultural Land (Class A & B)

Subject Site Tin Can Bay Road

Goomborian Service Station Sit



1.2 Site Description

The subject site is situated on the eastern side of Tagigan Road, Goomboorian and is described as Lot 11 on RP176910. The site contains an area of 12.14 hectares and is approximately 1.4km from the intersection with Tin Can Bay Road. It contains a dwelling house and is also used for grazing cattle. The land slopes slightly to the east and has a shallow gully in the south east corner of the site. 1.3 Surrounding Land Uses

All nearby land uses are zoned rural, with the predominating land use being for farming uses. Within a 1km radius from the development site there are 26 properties including 23 dwelling houses, some farming and cropping uses. 2.0 PLANNING SCHEME REQUIREMENTS This proposal is for a Food or Entertainment Venue. The application is impact assessable development, and therefore subject to public notification. As this proposal is Impact Assessable development it is subject to assessment against the entire 2005 Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme. The most relevant codes to the development are identified and addressed following.

Subject Site



2.1 Rural Planning Area Code Inconsistent Uses The development is impact assessable therefore neither a consistent or inconsistent use in the Rural Zone of the Rural Planning Area. Effects of Use The main issues raised for the proposed development are noise emissions and traffic impacts. Noise Emissions: The proposed development is for a function venue which nominates a function room, dining area and bar. No formal noise assessment was provided with the application, with the application indicating the standards prescribed in the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy intended to be met. Specific Outcome 3 of the Rural Planning Area (Rural Zone) Code specifies that “uses are located and designed to avoid significant adverse changes to the acoustic environment of adjoining and surrounding premises”. Probable Solution 3 suggests that “the maximum noise emission from the use meets the standards prescribed in the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 1997.” Any approval is considered able to be conditioned to ensure compliance with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy. Such conditions should include: - limiting hours and days of operation; - excluding amplified voices/music external to the building; and - prohibiting any audible noise from the development on surrounding

properties after 7:00pm. These limitations are considered reasonable and enforceable by Council. In considering these restrictions, the noise impact alone of functions catering for 100 people potentially every Friday and Saturday night should not be underestimated. Additionally, the development is proposed in an intact rural setting and needs to respect the existing amenity of the area. Traffic: Specific Outcome 5 of the Rural Planning Area (Rural Zone) Code specifies that “uses are located and designed to avoid significant adverse changes to the traffic conditions experienced by occupants of adjoining and surrounding premises”. Tagigan Road, leading to and fronting the proposed development varies in width from two lane bitumen from Tin Can Bay Road to just east of Tinana Creek, to single lane bitumen (3.6-4.5 metres wide) for the remainder to Kin Kin Road. The average daily traffic for Tagigan Road in the vicinity of the development is 224 vehicles per day, with the average traffic from the proposed development is expected to be 13 vehicles per day.



Given most functions will be held on the weekend, this could potentially be in the vicinity of 40 – 50 vehicles, or 80 – 100 trips each Friday and Saturday night. With this additional impact on the local road network it is considered reasonable to levy a road contribution towards road upgrading. An appropriate contribution is calculated and included in the design department advice following. Provision and Effects of Works Being single storey, the proposed building complies with maximum height requirements. 2.2 Erosion and Sediment Control Code No conflict is raised with the code given the only works required to facilitate the use will be for the access driveway and carparking area and building work. 2.3 Infrastructure Works Code Tagigan Road, being the lead-in road to the development is sealed and is used primarily by vehicles associated with rural uses in the locality and the above proposed use will introduce an increased flow of traffic to the site throughout the week ranging from small vehicles to service vehicles as well as possibly large buses transporting groups of patrons for functions. The applicant anticipates the proposed use will have between 275 to 300 patrons and 90 vehicles visiting the site per week. The standard of Tagigan Road is considered sufficient to service the development, however a road contribution towards future upgrading is considered reasonable. The development will need to make arrangements for on-site sewage treatment and a potable water supply for patrons. 2.4 Landscaping Code The Code does not contain any specific provisions for the type of use proposed in a rural setting. Submissions received indicate that insufficient vegetation exists on the site to screen the development from adjoining landowners. The features of the site and the proximity of the closest residence to the proposed development can be seen on the below photography submitted by Martoo Consulting on behalf on landowners from 207 and 168 Tagigan Road.



The proposed development will be more than 120 metres south from Lot 2 RP221271 but will have direct view to the building. For the benefit of the function venue and the adjoining resident it is considered reasonable to impose a condition requiring landscaped screening between the two (2) uses.

Proposed location of Function Venue.



Mature trees exist along the road frontage of the development site and no other landscaping is considered necessary. 2.5 Vehicle Parking and Access Code The parking requirements for a food or entertainment venue involving the sale of food are 5.5 spaces per 100m2 of Gross Floor Area (GFA). The applicant proposes 26 car parking spaces which complies with this requirement. The car parking area should be suitably formed and the spaces designated. Sufficient land area is available to accommodate any required overflow car parking within the development site. Compacted gravel has been proposed for the access road and car parking areas which have been identified to the south of the site and is considered acceptable given the location of the site. Loading and unloading into the building will likely occur in the space designated for coach access. 2.6 Conservation Significant Areas Code Approximately 4 000m2 (3.25% of the total site) is identified as local ecosystem value area on the north-west boundary of the site. The proposed development will be over 165 metres from this area and not considered to have any adverse impacts. Therefore, it is not considered necessary to require any conditions for a proposal of this nature to protect the local ecosystem or koala habitat. 2.7 Resource Areas Code The Resource Area Code is intended to preserve Good Quality Agricultural Land (GQAL) present within rural areas. The development site is covered by Class A and Class B GQAL, however given the nature, scale and intensity of the proposal, GQAL on the site will not be compromised. 3.0 OTHER PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Appropriateness of the Proposal The application indicates the development’s target market to be tourists travelling through the area from Noosa to Fraser Coast, nearby residents and for the broader Gympie area for weddings and other functions. Whilst not at a location immediately obvious as being suited to dining/functions, the proposal is not considered inappropriate. The siting of the proposed building has a pleasant outlook over a dam and natural forest area, and aside from a dwelling immediately adjacent to the property, will be otherwise unapparent.



3.2 Vegetation Minimal vegetation will be cleared to facilitate the development given it is proposed in a cleared paddock currently used for cattle grazing.

4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal (a) Design Department Report: (Design Services Technical Officer – A.C. Walsh) This engineering report is based on the report (dated August 2010) submitted by KHA Development Managers to develop a food or entertainment venue (function venue) at 146 Tagigan Road, Goomboorian. TRAFFIC The traffic generation rates nominated in the consultant’s report appear to be conservative, however, considering no reduction has been applied for potential bus/coach use, the daily average of 13 vehicles per day is accepted. As with other developments in the Rural zone, the Rural Residential contribution rate of $11,757 per additional lot (or 10 vte’s) has been used as a basis to recommend an appropriate amount. This equates to a contribution amount of $30,568 (ie [$11,75710] x 26) being applied. LEAD-IN / FRONTAGE ROAD Tagigan Road, leading to and fronting the proposed development varies in width from two lane bitumen from Tin Can Bay Road to just east of Tinana Creek, to single lane bitumen (3.6-4.5 metres wide) for the remainder to Kin Kin Road. Given the average daily traffic for Tagigan Road in the vicinity of the development is 224 vehicles per day, the traffic from the proposed development, ie 13 vehicles, will not impact greatly on the overall usage of the road. ACCESS / PARKING Considering the commercial nature of the development, the access from Tagigan Road should have a minimum width of 7.0 metres with R10 radius in lieu of the 3.0 metres as required by Council Standard Drawing No. R-15. To reduce shoulder wear at the access point, sealed shoulder widening should be required at the access to Tagigan Road to create a lane width of 4 metres (ie half width of the future design width of 8 metres) and tapered to join the existing bitumen seal. Given the rural location of the development Council may consider dust reduced gravel is adequate for the internal driveway and parking areas. STORMWATER DRAINAGE / FLOODING Neither issue will have an impact on the development.



WATER SUPPLY Water supply to the development will be required to meet the requirements of the Health Department. EFFLUENT DISPOSAL A complete geotechnical report will be required to be carried out at the design stage of the effluent system to determine whether the system is greater than 21 equivalent persons and, if so, further approval for an Environmentally Relevant Activity will be required to be obtained from the Department of Environment and Resource Management. OTHER Any upgrading costs to power or communication services will be required to be met by the applicant. SUBMISSIONS Submissions were received in the form of a petition letter signed by 21 people and a letter from a consultant representing two (2) parties. Engineering concerns raised related to the existing condition of Tagigan Road and the impact the additional traffic would have on the road. These issues have been addressed in the report. (b) Health & Environmental Services Department Conditions have been provided for any approval of the development issued. 4.2 External (a) Public Notification The application was advertised in accordance with the requirements of the Sustainable Planning Act. Several submissions were received including a proforma letter which was signed by 21 people and a submission drafted by a Consultant on behalf of two (2) parties. Grounds for Submission Submitter issue Staff Comments Noise: “The expected noise levels resulting from the proposed use if approved will detract from the existing quiet rural amenity of the immediate locality. In particular noise from the use of the function venue in evenings (after dark), on Saturdays and Sunday, and on public holidays, is outside the hours of normal activity on surrounding rural lots which is typically during daylight hours only.”

Discussion has been included in the report regarding noise. It is agreed that regular evening noise would be inappropriate at this location and would compromise the existing rural amenity. Restricting operating conditions are recommended to be imposed on any approval to alleviate this impact.



Traffic: “The level of traffic generation expected from the proposed use is in considerable excess to the existing volume of traffic along Tagigan Road and will contribute to the level of noise associated with the proposed use from traffic travelling on Tagigan Road, entering and exiting the site, and maneouvering around car park on the site. It is noted with function venues commonly have peak patronage and there is concern about traffic safety along Tagigan Road during such periods.”

The additional traffic onto Tagigan Road posed by the development is not considered large based on current road usage data.

Existing condition of Tagigan Road: “The traffic generated from the proposed use will only contribute to the further degradation of Tagigan Road at an increased rate. Tagigan Road is presently used primarily by vehicles associated with rural uses in the locality and the above proposed use will introduce an increased flow of traffic to its site throughout the week ranging from small vehicles to service vehicles as well as possibly large buses transporting groups of patrons for functions. The sealed pavement and its gravel shoulders of the existing roadway is not wide enough for even small vehicles to pass one another without having to veer partially off the sealed roadway onto the gravel shoulders. With large buses travelling the road it is expected that oncoming traffic will now have to completely leave the sealed pavement in order for the buses to pass. The existing bitumen roadway and associated gravel shoulders should be widened to form a standard two lane road collector road from its intersection with Tin Can Bay Road as a result of the proposal if approved.”

Based on the additional traffic to be generated Tagigan Road is considered to be a satisfactory standard. Regardless, a road contribution of $30 568 is recommended to be levied towards future upgrading of this road.



Existing rural amenity of locality: “The existing rural amenity of the locality is one of the attractions to this area for us as residents and those actively involved in rural land uses. We aim to preserve this existing rural amenity and deter the introduction of commercial type uses amongst our rural and rural residential lots, particularly in this location. We consider that the proposed use will not be compatible with adjoining rural and rural residential uses and will adversely affect the existing rural amenity of the area, and as such a proposal may be better situated alongside Tin Can Bay Road or other main roads rather than on the subject site.”

It is agreed that measures should be imposed to preserve the rural amenity of the area and such measures have been included in the recommendation.

Scale and intensity of proposed development: “Given that the current population of Goomboorian is approximately 680 and that land uses in the locality comprise largely of rural uses, the submitter considers that the provision of a function venue on a rural lot, on a rural road, in a rural community, of the scale and intensity described above is not responsive to the function of the locality. The obvious site specific constraints with respect to the proposed development are the topography of the site and adjoining properties, and the partial existing landscaping of mature trees along the road boundary and northern boundary of the site only. The submitter does not consider that the scale and intensity of the proposed development is responsive to the site constraints either, because of the location of the proposed building in the centre of the site where there is only a scattering of mature trees, and residences on adjoining properties are located either above or below the proposed building with no effective screening in existence.

The development site is only 1.6 kilometres from Tagigan Road’s intersection with Tin Can Bay Road. The proposed 480m2 building on the 12.14 Ha site is not considered to be an inappropriate scale. At this location, a function venue/restaurant is not expected to generate high demand.



These features of the site and the proximity of the closest residence to the proposed development can be seen on the attached photos of the site.” Services & Employment Opportunities: “The submitter considers that the Town Planning Report has not established a need for services or employment opportunities within the locality, or established how the development will aim to satisfy such needs. With regard to employment opportunities, the Town Planning Report refers to both local employment opportunities and short-term employment during the construction phase. There has been no suggestion in the Town Planning Report that there are in fact local contractors available for the construction works, or that the applicant intends to use local contractors if they are available. Furthermore, it is not stated in the Town Planning Report how many employees will be required in addition to the owner/operator. It is also to be noted that the general locality is already serviced by a successful and well established function type facility, being the Silky Oak Teagardens (sic).”

It is not possible to impose a condition which restricts the constructors of the site and the employment of the staff to those in the local community.

Negative social, environmental or economic impacts: “The submitter considers that the Town Planning Report has not established that the proposed development WILL NOT result in any negative impacts. From the outset, it is likely that the function venue will create negative social impacts to the occupants of surrounding properties and this will be the first of such commercial type uses on a rural lot in the immediate area.”

It is not completely understood what negative social impacts the submitters are referring to other than amenity.



Operating Hours: “The submitter considers that given the likely impact of the function venue on adjoining properties (i.e. from noise and traffic), that the hours of operation of the function venue (if approved) will be the major mitigating factor, and that the use intends to operate 7 days a week, the hours of operation on weekends and public holidays needs to be: specified in the proposal so that the level of impact can be more accurately determined; and limited in any development approval so that any potential impact can be minimized.”

Restricting conditions are recommended to be imposed to minimise impacts on the surrounding area.

Screened Landscaping: “The submitter does not consider that existing landscaping on the site will act as an effective screen for the car park and building. As stated above, only partial screen landscaping of mature trees along the road boundary and northern boundary of the site exists which is not effective in screening the proposed development from the closest residences on adjoining properties to the east and south which includes my residence.”

The imposition of landscaped screening on the south-eastern side of the proposed building is considered relevant.

Orientation of the development: “It is acknowledged that the proposed building and car park has been sited approximately in the centre of the site, that the car parking and access area is located on the road side of the building, and that one orientation of the building faces the farming land to the north. However considering the nature of the use as a function venue, the open plan layout of the building, and the rural setting of the proposed use, it appears that the building will utilise all four orientations as well as the immediate outdoor area. Therefore it is relevant that the topography of the site and the lack of screen landscaping will not be a mitigating factor in terms of noise impact from the proposed use as it is expected that noise will carry to residences on adjoining land in all directions.”

Noise is proposed to be controlled through conditions.



Siting and construction of the building: “As stated above, it is acknowledged that the building is sited approximately in the centre of the site with the intention of minimising the impact of the development on adjoining properties, however the close proximity of the closest residences on adjoining properties to the east, south, and west across Tagigan Road and the lack of effective screening of potential noise from the proposed use mean that it is likely that noise from the proposed use will be heard at these residences in spite of the siting of the building. It is noted that the building is proposed to be constructed in accordance with AS3671-1989 "Acoustics road traffic noise intrusion buildings siting and construction" however this will not eliminate the potential to result in negative noise impacts as stated in the Town Planning Report because the likely contributors to noise nuisance are emissions external to the buildings such as traffic entering and exiting the site, noise generated by patrons in the car park area, noise from patrons utilising the immediate outdoor area surrounding the building, and noise from loud music, speeches, etc from within the building when doors and windows are open.”

Noise impacts have been previously discussed.

Estimates of traffic generation: “Based on the estimates of traffic generation from the proposed use provided in the Town Planning Report, 90 vehicles are expected to visit the site per week which amounts to 180 trips per week. It is suggested that a land use of the size and nature proposed in this application would normally be expected to generate more trips than nominated in the report if the number was to include staff as well as service deliveries. Notwithstanding that,

Engineering advice received indicates Tagigan Road to be of a suitable standard for the likely traffic to be generated from the development and no upgrading has been recommended.



the number quoted is a considerable increase in the traffic along Tagigan Road given that existing traffic along this road consists mainly of rural traffic associated with the farming activities in the locality. The submitter notes that the sealed width of Tagigan Road is approximately 5 metres wide or less and that condition of the road is consistently degrading. Furthermore, the submitter is aware of a number of vehicles accidents along Tagigan Road in recent times and questions the capability of the road to withstand the expected additional traffic generated by the use which will include large buses transporting groups of patrons for functions.” Draft Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan: “The Town Planning Report refers to the designation of the site under the South East Queensland Regional Plan as within the 'Urban Footprint' designation. We note that the site is actually within the Wide Bay Burnett region and accordingly the Draft Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan 2009 was the relevant regional plan applicable at the time of lodgement of the application. Under this regional plan the site is categorised as within the Regional Landscape and Rural Production Area.”

It is acknowledged that the Consultant addressed the South East Queensland Regional Plan and not the Draft Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan. The Draft Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan, however, does not prohibit a Function Venue use of this scale in the Regional Landscape and Rural Production Area.

Koala Habitat: “The local residents have advised of a notable koala habitat in the immediate locality of the subject site. This advice is supported by information maintained by the Department of Environment and Resource Management under Vegetation Management Act 1999, namely Extract from the essential habitat database—version 3 that identifies the existence of a habitat for koalas, (Phascolarctos cinereus -southeast Queensland bioregion),

No adverse impacts are foreseen given the location of vegetation in relation to the proposed building.



in relevant open forest and woodland surrounding the subject site. The submitters are concerned that given the nature of the proposed use and its operation, there is the potential for an approval of the development application to detrimentally impact on the local koala population.”

5.0 CONCLUSION This proposal is for a Function Venue, which is made impact assessable by the planning scheme in the Rural Zone. Main issues raised included noise, traffic, existing condition of Tagigan Road and the existing rural amenity of the locality. It is considered that all of these issues can be managed by conditions detailed in the recommendation and as explained in the report. The application is therefore recommended for Approval, subject to conditions.’ 3.0 CONCLUSION The original recommendation is included for Council’s consideration.

118 CP855383 SITE ADDRESS: 600 Bruce Highway, Chatsworth CURRENT USE OF LAND: Rural PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to

Create 19 Additional Lots and Boundary Realignment

PLANNING SCHEME: Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme 2005 ZONE: Rural DWWBSPRP: Rural Living LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code

Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This application seeks Council’s approval for a reconfiguration of land to allow a 20 lot (19 additional lots) rural residential subdivision at 600 Bruce Highway, Chatsworth.



1.1 Site Description The site is on the Bruce Highway, Chatsworth, 300 metres south-east of its intersection with Rammutt Road and just over 8 kilometres by road to the Gympie central business district. The majority of the site has been previously cleared. The topography is undulating with varying slopes and the site contains some low lying areas. An existing dwelling is to be contained within proposed lot 81. 1.2 The Proposal The proposal is essentially for an additional stage of a previously approved rural residential development at Chatsworth. Application was made for reconfiguring a lot to subdivide and also a boundary realignment that alters some of the approved allotment areas in the earlier development. A request to change the adjoining subdivision (approved under DA15764 – Chatsworth Property Trust) was also submitted and results in some lot area reductions below 6 000m2. Details of the subdivision include: Lot sizes varying from 4875m2 to 1.877ha. Five (5) are rear

allotments with access via easements or access strips. Access to all of the lots is proposed from new road, extending from

the adjoining development approved to the north-west. No park is proposed. The application was supported by: (i) a town planning report; and (ii) a geotechnical assessment dealing with effluent disposal areas The proposed layout is reproduced below.



1.3 Surrounding Land Uses The subject site and land immediately surrounding it is a mix of grazing and other rural residential developments.



1.4 Site History Development approval (DA15764) for reconfiguring a lot was approved by Council over the adjoining land in December 2009. This approval was for 59 additional lots in three (3) stages. A copy of the approved plan is below.



2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Intent of the Zone The intent of the Rural zone is primarily for rural uses, but it also allocates land for future urban, rural residential or other purposes.

2.2 Draft Wide Bay Burnett State Planning Regulatory Provisions The site is included in the ‘Rural Living’ classification of the DWBBSPRP, therefore the development is consistent with the long term policy direction for the area.



Rural Living Designation of the DWBBSPRP 2.3 Compliance with the Planning Scheme Provisions for rural residential allotments, and the application’s extent of compliance with them, are included following. It is noted that the assessment is made as if the property is in the Rural Residential zone. Minimum 6000m2 lot size Five (5) of the proposed 20 lots do not meet the minimum lot size requirement as follows: Lot 63 – 5 186m² Lot 64 – 4 875m² Lot 65 – 5 600m2

Lot 80 – 5 459m2

Lot 81 – 5 488m2

Additionally, the boundary realignment and request to change components result in an additional five (5) allotments in the previous development falling below 6 000m2. These lots are on the most elevated section of the land but are not without slope. Grounds submitted by the applicant to support the lots below 6 000m2 include: - the majority of the allotments created throughout the estate

comply with the preferred minimum lot size of 6 000m2;



- Council has previously agreed to allotments under the preferred minimum;

- rural residential amenity of these lots will not be impacted upon.

One (1) of the smaller lots is now proposed as a rear access lot, and lots 32, 34 and 35 are not ideal lot sizes. Lots 33 and 36 are also corner lots with a higher proportion of frontage and therefore less available building area after the required building setbacks. It is recommended lots 32-38 be amended to result in minimum lots sizes of 6 000m2. New lots 64, at 4 875m2, whilst elevated contains a depression that forms into one of the gullies on the site and has a building area with a 20% slope. It is recommended that lots 63-65 be amended to only result in two (2) lots. Lots 80 and 81, at 5 459m2 and 5 488m2 respectively, are not supported given their reduced amenity adjoining the Bruce Highway and lot 81 being a rear access lot. Minimum rectangle of 40 x 50 metre All can accommodate a 40 x 50 metre rectangle. Minimum road frontage of 50m per allotment Road frontages for proposed lots are mostly 50 metres with the exception of those in the cul-de-sac head, where a lesser standard is considered acceptable given the lot shapes. Building areas having a maximum gradient of 15% Most of the proposed lots comply with this requirement. The steepest lots are those proposed below 6 000m2, which are not supported. 2.4 Local and/or State Planning Policies Mapping in the 2005 Planning Scheme suggests the majority of the site contains Good Quality Agricultural Land (GQAL) – Class A and Class B.



The site is adjoined by approved rural residential development and is included in the Rural Living designation of the Draft Wide Bay Burnett State Planning Regulatory Provisions. In a priority sense, a decision has been made in the preparation of that Plan to place the land’s values as rural residential land ahead of its values as good quality agricultural land.

3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Appropriateness of the Proposal and Need The proposal is considered a logical extension of the adjoining approved subdivision and infill development. 3.2 Impact on Amenity The development itself is not considered to result in amenity impacts. However, the location of the site adjoining the Bruce Highway needs to be considered in this regard. As previously indicated, lots 80 and 81 are not supported because of their lot size and proximity to the Bruce Highway and should be amalgamated.



3.3 Site Access and Traffic Suggestion is made in the engineering report below, that consideration should be given to future road connections over land to the south-east to create a linkage with Fritz Road or Cochrane Road. A condition of approval is recommended requiring the developer to prepare and submit a concept plan for subdivision over adjoining land that achieves this and demonstrated the currently proposed road alignment is suitable. 3.4 Allotment Layout / Staging Plan The applicant has not submitted a staging plan. Five (5) new hatchet shaped lots, being 66, 77, 78, 81 and 82, are proposed with access handles of 100m, 88.6m, 88.6m, 49m and 96.7m respectively. It has previously been recommended that lots 80 and 81 be amalgamated so that will result in a total of four (4) and a likely reduced handle length for lot 82. This is considered acceptable. 3.5 Flooding Despite the site containing a large low-lying area, the site is above the known Q100 inundation line. 3.6 Open Space The applicant does not propose any park. As further consolidation of rural residential development in this locality is not envisaged, the provision of a park is not considered critical. A contribution in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 6 Park Contributions in lieu of park provision should be conditioned in any approval granted. 3.7 Environmentally Significant Areas No part of the site is covered by a State Regional Ecosystem Map or by the current Planning Scheme’s Conservation Significant Areas – Ecosystem Value Overlay map. Moreover, as the site is largely cleared, it is reasonable to conclude that it does not contain environmentally significant areas. 3.8 Bushfire Management / Protection In the current Planning Scheme, the site is not in a designated Bushfire Hazard Area.



3.9 Site Contamination The site is not listed on the Environmental Management Register. 3.10 Utilities and Services The site is outside the defined water service and sewerage reticulation areas. Both water and sewer will need to be supplied by on-site systems. The geotechnical report submitted with the application suggests all lots will be required to be serviced by advanced secondary treatment systems. This should be noted on the rates records for each lot in accordance with previous approaches. 3.11 Pathways Pathways are not considered necessary. 3.12 Stormwater See Engineering Report Section 5.1. 4.0 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Public notification is not required for code assessable applications, however the application was included in Council’s ½ page advertisement in The Gympie Times and as a result no submissions were received. 5.0 CONSULTATION 5.1 Internal Report: (Design Services Civil Engineer – B.J. Garrad) This engineering report is based on the information submitted by Consultants Murray & Associates (QLD) P/L in it’s Planning Report dated October 2010. OVERVIEW RECONFIGURING A LOT BY BOUNDARY REALIGNMENT: No Engineering issues found. REQUEST TO CHANGE AN EXISTING APPROVAL (DA15764) No Engineering issues found.



RECONFIGURING OF A LOT BY RURAL SUBDIVISION The intent of the proposal is to allow the expansion of the recently approved subdivision of Lots 371, 372 and 374 on MCH4667 onto Lot 118 CP855383. The total number of lots will increase from 63 to 82.

FRONTAGE ROAD The proposed development has frontage to the Bruce Highway, a State controlled road. As a concurrence agency the Department of Transport and Main Roads has assessed the application and conditioned that no access to the development is allowed from the Bruce Highway and that post-development stormwater flows to the State controlled road reserve are no greater than pre-development flows. INTERNAL ROADWAYS The internal roadway is to connect to the road network already approved in the previous stages that connect to Rammutt Road. The design of the previous road sections does not lend itself to the continuation of the road into the new stage because of two “T” intersections that are inappropriate for a through road. The Consultant argues that this design would avoid the through road becoming a “rat run” through the development should the through road become connected to Cochrane or Fritz Road in the future. However, if the road is able to be constructed through to Cochrane Road or Fritz Road in the future it will provide a safer and more appropriate route for local traffic (including School buses and other school traffic) than the Bruce Highway. The design of the new road is curvilinear with a cul-de-sac to access lots towards the Bruce Highway and will end at the boundary between lots 118 CP855383 and 116 CP855383. It is noted that the new road will end without cul-de-sac because it is possible that the road may be continued in the future and additional lots created on Lot 116 CP855383. While the proposed road widths are not specified in the consultant’s report, the width for the through road (the road that connects most directly with Rammutt Road) in stage 1 is 7.5 metres width with kerb and channel. This design was based on rural road widths as per Council’s Standard Drawing R-07 with the addition of kerb and channel. To provide a consistent road environment through the development, the road width for the new through road should also be 7.5 metres with kerb and channel.



This report relates to the current application but since it is possible that additional lots on Lot 116 CP855383 in the future, the design of the internal roadway for this stage should take into account the possibility of connecting to Cochrane Road or Fritz Road giving the development two entrance/exits and enhancing the connectivity of the development without using connections to the Bruce Highway. The developer’s plans don’t show any such connection to these roads but to avoid planning issues in the future, the applicant should prepare a preliminary design for the next stage to incorporate a possible future connection to Cochrane Road or Fritz Road. ROAD CONTRIBUTION The proposed development is not located within the area included in Council’s Planning Scheme policy 12: Sealed Road Contributions for Designated Rural Residential Areas. However, as the development gains access from Rammutt Road which is listed in the Policy, Council should apply a contribution amount for the additional lots equivalent to the Policy 12 currently set by Council at $11,757 per lot. WATER SUPPLY The development is outside the water reticulation area but each lot are to be supplied with tanks with a minimum capacity of 45,000 litres.

EFFLUENT DISPOSAL The preliminary effluent disposal report recommends that all lots are to be serviced by an advanced secondary effluent treatment system. FLOODING The topography of the site is from flat to undulating with maximum slopes of 20% in the northern part of the site. The level of the site is between 70 and 92 metres AHD and therefore above the influence of flooding from the Mary River. The Consultant shows Q100 flood lines for local flooding on the plans but there is no supporting documentation provided. STORMWATER DRAINAGE The consultant’s report doesn’t provide details of stormwater drainage but Council’s conditions and standards for stormwater drainage will be applied. To be further assessed at the Operational Works stage. MISCELLANEOUS Lot 118 CP855383 is currently supplied with power and communication services and these services will be extended to all lots at the applicant’s expense.



5.2 Concurrence Agencies The application required referral to one concurrence agency – the Department of Main Roads. This Agency issued conditional approval for the development subject to conditions requiring – No direct access to the Bruce Highway; The applicant to provide plans showing connectivity with

surrounding lots to ensure any future developments will not impact on or required access to the Bruce Highway;

Lot 1 on MPH 31637 is to be provided with an alternative access; and

The applicant must provide RPEQ certification that post-development flows to the Bruce Highway will not exceed pre-development flows calculated during an ARI 100 storm event.

6.0 CONCLUSION The site is zoned rural, however is adjoined by approved rural residential subdivision and is designated as ‘Rural Living’ in the Draft Wide Bay Burnett State Planning Regulatory Provisions. It is considered appropriate and, subject to some layout amendments, is supported.

Notes (i) In carrying out your activity you must take all reasonable and

practicable measures to ensure that it does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage (the “cultural heritage duty of care”). You will comply with the cultural heritage duty of care if you are acting in accordance with the gazetted cultural heritage duty of care guidelines. An assessment of your proposed activity against the duty of care guidelines will help determine whether or to what extent Aboriginal cultural heritage may be harmed by your activity. Further information on cultural heritage, together with a copy of the duty of care guidelines and cultural heritage search forms, may be obtained from the Department of Natural Resources and Water ~ phone (07) 3238 3838 or website www.nrw.qld.gov.au.

(ii) No earthworks or filling works are to be undertaken prior to

3/3 2011- 0558 – Representations to existing approval - Reconfiguring a Lot - Subdivision to create two (2) lots from one (1) lot – 45 Kevin Road, Imbil – K & J Watt

FILE: P14/09/11 2011-0558 APPLICANT: Keith and Janet Watt LANDOWNER: Keith William Watt and Janet Watt RPD: Lot 2 on SP217379 SITE: 45 Kevin Road, Imbil PROPOSAL: Representations - Reconfiguring a

Lot – Subdivision to create two (2) lots from one (1) lot

PLANNING SCHEME: Cooloola PLANNING AREA: Rural LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code SITE AREA: 13 250m2

KEY POINT SUMMARY The application was approved under delegated authority on 1

June 2011; Representations have been made asking for condition 12 of the

approval to be deleted; Condition 12 requires a passing bay to be provided on the

proposed driveway (the driveway is shared between two allotments);

The requirement for a passing bay is established in PSP8 (28 April 2011);



Because amended PSP8 is relatively new, and this is the first time representations have been made in this context, the representations are presented to Council for consideration; and

The representations are recommended to be refused, and for condition 12 to remain.



Report: (Planning Officer – L. M. Farrelly) Introduction The proposed reconfiguration was approved under delegated authority on 1 June 2011. The appeal period was suspended on 20 June 2011 and representations were subsequently made to Council by the applicant (dated 14 July 2011). Applicant’s Representations The representations contended that the condition 12 be deleted. Condition 12 requires the inclusion of a passing bay on the driveway:

12. The entrance driveway for the Hatchet Lot is to be constructed to a 3.5 metre wide sealed 2 coat bitumen, 25mm asphaltic concrete or reinforced concrete standard from the existing bitumen edge of Kevin Road for the full length of the access handle. A sealed passing bay, 5.5 metre wide, to the same standard as the driveway is also to be constructed at the approximate mid-way point along the driveway.



The applicant submitted the following arguments to justify the deletion of condition 12:

A past approval on the adjacent allotment (north) had no requirement for a passing bay

The passing bay will have to be located over underground services, restricting access for maintenance and repair;

The amount of traffic anticipated does not justify a passing lane;

The area on either side of the driveway is flat, so passing can be facilitated anyway (i.e. one wheel on the grass).

Council Staff Comment – Planning Officer – (L.M. Farrelly) The representations were considered, and Council staff recommend Council refuse the representations on the following grounds:

A Planning Scheme Policy that recently came into effect (PSP8 - 24 April 2011) establishes the requirement for a passing bay where driveways are more than 100m long (Clause 72 (5) (c)): ‘where the access strip is greater than 100m long, a passing bay shall be provided at approximately the half-way point’;

The Reconfiguring a Lot Code requires each rear lot to have a road frontage of 6m and a driveway length of less than 100m. The lot proposed has a frontage of 5m and driveway length of 160m. The passing will help offset this non-compliance.

The driveway will be 160m long with a convex longitudinal section (there will not be a direct sight distance for the entire length of the driveway). The passing bay will help minimise any potential conflict.

P14/09/11 Moved: Cr R.A. Gâté Seconded: Cr J.A. Walker

Recommend that in relation to development application (2011-

0558) for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to create two (2) lots from one (1) lot – over Lot 2 on SP217379, located at 45 Kevin Road, Imbil, Council not issue a Negotiated Decision Notice.

Carried.

Cr J. Watt returned to the meeting at 12.58 p.m. Cr R.J. Dyne (Mayor) vacated the chair and Cr J. Watt resumed the role of Chairman of the meeting.

5/2 Developer Contributions for Proposed Duplex

Re: P18/09/11 Developer Contributions for Proposed Duplex From: Gympie resident File: 6/4/05/0009 Date: 16 August, 2011

Report: (Manager Development & Compliance – T. M. Stenholm) The above correspondence is in relation to a proposed duplex within Gympie. The writer intends to construct a duplex for a family member and believes the associated developer contributions to be unreasonable. Accepting a statutory declaration to secure the occupants of the duplex is considered problematic from a compliance perspective. Other options are considered to exist for this scenario, that would not accrue contributions. The currently include: - constructing a 50m2 ‘granny flat’, which still currently requires a

development permit for material change of use but does not trigger contributions; or



- constructing an extension to the existing dwelling that would not be considered a separate self-contained ‘dwelling unit’. Such option would necessitate exclusion of a kitchen and/or bathroom, or could include a kitchenette if the design did not result in the extension being easily converted to a duplex.

P18/09/11 Moved: Cr J.A. Walker Seconded: Cr G.L. Engeman

Recommend that Council advise the writer that Council cannot levy contributions for duplexes based on the occupants of each dwelling unit. Further, that alternative options exist for their situation that would not incur developer contributions including: - constructing a 50m2 ‘granny flat’ that still requires a land use

approval from Council but does not incur contributions; or

- constructing an extension to the existing dwelling that would not be considered a separate self-contained ‘dwelling unit’. Such option would necessitate exclusion of a kitchen and/or bathroom, or could include a kitchenette if the design did not result in the extension being easily converted to a duplex.

Carried.
