Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 Introduction Development Application for Material Change of Use (To Change the Land Use Entitlements from that of the Rural Zone to that of the Housing Zone) and Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create 41 Additional Lots was approved by Council on 4 October 2005. A copy of the approved plan is reproduced below.
Approved Plan
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 6 -
Gympie Regional Council
2.0 Request to Change the Approval A request to change the approval was submitted on 5 December, 2008 and was accompanied by the following letter: “The development approval for the above being a negotiated decision notice was issued by the former Cooloola Shire Council in October, 2005(note DA06659). This development approval was issued following a series of various requests by Council to the applicant to further consider stormwater management within the site and possibly more particularly in response to Council’s need to assist resolve (sic) a stormwater issue originating in the vicinity of the existing gully pit in Height (sic) Drive near Lots 26 and 27 on RP865583. The stormwater issue was understood to be as a result of some design and/or construction complications associated with a gully pit near the bottom of the sag curve in the vertical alignment of Heights Drive which can cause overtopping during significant storm events and sometimes result in a nuisance to existing properties uphill from the subject site (n.b. then Lot 1 on CP816657). After considerable research and several designs by the applicant, Council issued the above development permit which required, among other things, the need to obtain a development permit for operational works from the then Cooloola Shire Council. Northern Resources on behalf of the applicant lodged the subsequent development application for operational works. The former Cooloola Shire Council ultimately approved this development application subject to conditions and notations placed by Council in red on the approved development plans for operational works. This red lettering included a requirement to construct an open grassed drain to connect from Easement A in RP865583 within the adjoining Lot 26 on RP865583 through approved Lot 29 to the approved new road opening to be known as Skyline Terrace. This open drain was not proposed by the applicant but required by Council as a condition on the Development Permit for Operational Works. Unfortunately Council’s condition was flawed as the open drain as required by Council ran uphill. Fortunately however Northern Resources realized this and never constructed that particular open drain. Northern Resources then provided an alternative solution which allowed the stormwater to run downhill to meet the approved new road opening and drainage construction at an appropriate finished surface level. It may have been possible for the open drain to run along the common boundary between proposed lots 31 and 32 however it was decided that the open drain best run along the common boundary between proposed Lots 32 and 33 so as to provide a greater grade which is understood to be preferred for such a drain in urban areas.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 7 -
Gympie Regional Council
The engineering plans for the development application for operational works were prepared by Valmadre Development Consultants based in Cairns and with considerable expertise in design stormwater management plans for the higher rainfall events experienced in North Queensland. Works for this solution were undertaken with the approved operational works because it was not appropriate to construct the open drain as conditioned by Council. Council then required the applicant to obtain an independent opinion of that solution presented by Northern Resources from a nationally recognized firm of consulting engineers. The applicant sought the advice of SMEC who undertook a stormwater study on the Heights Drive catchment as well as the subject estate. SMEC supported that solution offered by Northern Resources in the development application for operational works. SMEC is an Australian based company with an international network of more than 20 subsidiary and associated companies and offices in 26 countries. SMEC was born from Australia’s single biggest engineering project, the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric scheme, and over the years has grown into a multi-disciplinary engineering and development consultancy firm which consistently ranks in the world’s top 100 international design firms. With over 40 years experience and 2000 staff SMEC should be well positioned to provide advice on what is comparatively such a relatively simple stormwater matter. Current IDAS Request to Amend a Development Approval On legal advice the applicant has decided to lodge an IDAS request to formally amend the approved proposal plan for the subdivision component of the above development approval so as to accommodate the minor amendments to the approved lot boundaries as necessitated to accommodate the amended stormwater management solution now being offered by the applicant through Northern Resources. This current IDAS request seeks Council’s approval of the amended lot layout as delineated on the enclosed Plan of Survey Number SP223939 (unregistered) as prepared by Kim McCarthy Surveys Pty Ltd, and as also shown on the enclosed operational works plans by Valmadre Development Consultants (Number 0508-1F, 0508-2C (sheets 2A and 2B), and 0508-5. Proposed Lots 29 to 34 comply with the Specific Outcomes in the Reconfiguring a Lot Code in the current 2005 Cooloola Planning Scheme given these proposed six (6) lots:-
(a) have areas in excess of 600m2; (b) have road frontages in excess of 20m;
(c) have suitable house sites clear of proposed and existing easements; (d) front a new roadway within Skyline Terrace as approved by
Council; (e) have access to all services required by Council for urban
residential development.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 8 -
Gympie Regional Council
The enclosed plans also illustrate proposed drainage easements which are required as a result of existing development permits with the approval of the amended stormwater drainage plan. Consequently this current IDAS request should not need to also require Council’s formal approval for the registration of these proposed easements as “development” due to being a reconfiguring a lot. The following documents are enclosed to support this current IDAS request:- 1. Completed IDAS Form 2; 2. Three (3) copies of Plan of Survey Number SP223939 (unregistered); 3. Operational works plans by Valmadre Development Consultants (number
0508-1F, 0508-2C (sheets 2A and 2B), and 0508-5; and 4. A cheque for $445.00 being Council’s prescribed fee for such a request. The applicant therefore requests that Council issues an amended negotiated decision notice which approves the enclosed unregistered plan of survey Number SP223939 as a proposed development plan. Please do not hesitate in contacting our office if Council requires any further information or clarification in relation to this request.”

3.0 Assessment The latest survey plan (for Stage 2) was signed and released by Council on 27 October 2008. This plan was endorsed subject to amalgamation of lots 29 to 34 pending a resolution on stormwater issues.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 10 -
Gympie Regional Council
Original conditions of the Development Permit remain relevant for the new proposal plan, however most of them were satisfied in conjunction with the release of the survey plan for Stage 2. No issues are raised in regards to the new lot layout as the proposed lots are similar to those originally approved. Lot 32 is now proposed to be burdened with a 4.0 metre wide stormwater easement along its northern and eastern boundaries. Given the proposed lot size for Lot 32 is 862m2 adequate area is considered to remain exclusive of the easement for the purposes of constructing a dwelling. Report: (General Manager Design Services Division – R. Chapman) My report on the letter requesting the changes submitted by Martoo Consulting is prefaced by stating contrary to certain comments made in the letter that the stormwater is not "relatively simple" at this site and that the consultant has incorrectly made comments about Council when it is clearly obvious he is not fully aware of the Operational Works Approval issued for this site.
The proposed lot layout as submitted is not the preferred way to solve the overland flows through this site. However, it can be approved on the basis that the drainage path proposed is constructed in a permanent way, ie concrete, and designed to accommodate design flows with standard freeboard clearances provided. This will most likely result in a truncation for the Drainage Easement AB at the rear corner of Lot 32 as open channel water flows cannot turn "right angled" corners and require certain curvatures to maintain level flows across the channel. A permanent structure is required in lieu of the open grassed channel proposed so that it cannot be easily modified by owners of the lots over the years. The overland channel is only required to operate at irregular periods but if it is not provided the consequences to future houses built on lots 30, 31 and 32 could be extremely serious. The original approval contained a note on the condition relating to stormwater, indicating that a concrete lined U shaped drain shall not be accepted as a drainage solution through private property. This note may now be deleted.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 11 -
Gympie Regional Council
P23/02/09 Moved: Cr L.J. Friske Seconded: Cr G.L. Engeman
Recommend that Council APPROVE the request to change development approval (DA09659) for Material Change of Use (To Change the Land Use Entitlements from that of the Rural Zone to that of the Housing Zone) and Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create 41 Additional Lots over Lot 1 CP816657, located at Old Maryborough Road, Gympie Council subject to the following: (i) deletion of the note attached to condition 1.14; and (ii) A concrete lined overland flow channel is to be constructed within
the drainage easements AB, AA and Z in proposed lots 32, 31 and 30 respectively. The works, as required to be constructed will be subject to an Operational Works approval and designed to meet the overflow up to the Q100 event from the piped system through the site as well as the surrounding local catchment of the drain.
(iii) Drainage easement AB to be truncated to provide for a suitable
radius to be incorporated into the concrete lined drain. (iv) Further Council agrees to accept a performance bond to cover the
drainage works nominated in (ii) and (iii) above to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Development.
Carried.

SECTION 1: STRATEGIC PLANNING MATTERS 1/1 Gympie Regional Council Participation in the ‘Glossy Black Conservancy’
for 2009
Re: Minute: P24/02/09 Glossy Black Conservancy Participation for 2009 From: Environmental Planning Officer – A.J. Gosley File: 6/5/13/2 Date: 6 February 2009 “The Glossy Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami) is one of the more threatened species of cockatoo in Australia and is considered vulnerable in QLD. Glossy Black-Cockatoos have a very restricted diet feeding on the seeds in cones of she-oaks and on selected individual trees. They also need large hollows for nesting. In 2005 The Glossy Black Conservancy was formed and aims for a coordinated approach between government, community and business to increase the awareness, protection and conservation of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo in South East Queensland. Through support, the conservancy has undertaken a number of initiatives including: • Community education and awareness:
Formation of a Conservancy awareness: Development of a number of educational fact sheets, brochures,
posters and newsletters; Successful in obtaining $30,000 funding to develop community and
school education kits and to undertake school tree plantings; Delivery of community training workshops as well as presentations
and displays;” • Development and on-going enhancement of a central database –
Development and management of a central database containing of all sightings and habitat records sent to the Conservancy;
• Scientific research on the ecology of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo, distribution, abundance and genetic structure in the Gold Coast region; and
• Draft management plan. For all Conservancy actions/achievements since its establishment, please visit our website www.glossyblack.org.au The Conservancy is inviting organisations to participate in and/or support the Conservancy in 2009. So now is the perfect opportunity for your organisation to become involved!

management practices, the Glossy Black Conservancy holds a database of sighting reports. This data is available to Councils and the Environmental Protection Agency (QLD);
• Coordinate the assessment of Glossy Black-Cockatoo resources across local government areas;
• Continue community awareness and engagement activities within the general community, schools and environment groups;
• Engage with the community to assist in record collection; • Manage a central database of Glossy Black-Cockatoo records, accessible
by government agencies; • Continue research aimed at increasing current knowledge of the species’
use of pioneer vegetation, fidelity to individual feed trees, requirement for nesting hollows, diurnal and seasonal range and movement patterns with a priority to map vital resources for Glossy Black-Cockatoos;
• Monitor key threats and refine management practices in Glossy Black-Cockatoo habitat (Allocasuarina forests e.g. fire, thinning, clearing); and
• Develop a regional Glossy Black-Cockatoo management plan.

5.0 Protection status of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo All Glossy Black-Cockatoo sub-species except the northern sub-species are considered to be in decline. The population is estimated to be less than 18,000 birds Australia-wide. The current conservation status according to government legislation for Queensland is Vulnerable (Nature Conservation Act, 1992). Glossy Black-Cockatoos are found in coastal woodlands, drier forest areas, open inland woodlands, watercourses, Brigalow belt forests, and rocky outcrops. The Glossy Black-Cockatoo has been sighted throughout the Gympie Region. The Glossy Black-Cockatoo has a very restricted diet, feeding exclusively on the seeds extracted from cones of Casuarina and Allocasuarina, (their favored species are Allocasuarina litoralis and Allocasuarina torulosa). Because of its limited diet and breeding behaviour, these factors are compounded by pressures such as habitat clearance and predation. The Glossy Black-Cockatoo nests in hollows of large, old eucalypt trees and therefore the protection of hollow bearing trees is extremely important for their survival. Greater education and awareness of the habitat is required. 6.0 Council Justification Joining the Conservancy supports the Draft Gympie Regional Council Corporate Plan 2099-2014: Outcome 3.1-Continue to deliver practical natural resource management practises. Joining the Conservancy also aligns with Councils Environmental Policy: Council is committed to implementing all requirements outlined in Commonwealth and State environmental legislation, and where practical exceeding the requirements of relevant legislation, policy and standards. Council is determined to work in close partnership with the Gympie community and regional organisations to enhance the regions’ environmental quality, while respecting and maintaining its cultural, social and economic values.”

Gympie Regional Council
Adrian Caneris (Biodiversity Assessment and Management Pty Ltd) started the awareness raising of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo in the Gympie Region by conducting a workshop at the Civic Centre in 2008. By joining the Conservancy Council would be building onto the work already undertaken. Benefits to Council by joining the Conservancy as a friend include: • participate in the conservation of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo; • stay informed of the latest information on the conservation of the Glossy
Black-Cockatoo; • support from Conservancy members and/or provisions of Conservancy
members and/or provision of Conservancy material for event/activities; and • invitation to attend the Annual Year in Review meeting. Minimal staff time is required to gain valuable educational resources for the community.
P24/02/09 Moved: Cr A.J. Perrett Seconded: Cr R.A. Gâté Recommend that Council joins the Glossy Black Conservancy as a friend contributing in-kind staff resources to the value of $1000. The nominated representative is the Environmental Planning Officer who will contribute to the following actions: • Complete or assist in actions identified in the annual action plan; • Act as a key representative of the Conservancy to assist with
Conservancy related enquiries from Government agencies, industry and the local community;
• Attend the annual year in review meeting and as many other Conservancy meetings as possible; and
• Provide information to the community to promote the awareness of the conservation of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo.

1/2 Caring for our Country – Great Sandy Healthy Waterways and Catchment
Strategy
Re: Minute: P25/02/09 Caring for our Country – Great Sandy Healthy Waterways and Catchment Strategy
From: Environmental Planning Officer – A.J. Gosley File: 6/6/10/0015 Date: 9th February 2009 Report: (Environmental Planning Officer– A.J. Gosley) 1.0 Introduction “Caring for our Country” will provide $2.25 billion in funding over five years from 1 July 2008 to June 2013. It integrates a number of natural resource management measures into a consolidated initiative, including the Natural Heritage Trust, the National Landcare Program, the Environmental Stewardship Program, and elements of the Working on Country program. The Caring for our Country outcomes identify the results that the Australian Government is aiming to achieve within five years, while the targets provide greater detail about the actions and, in some cases, the places, where the improvements are being sought. The Australian Government invites interested parties to submit investment proposals for projects that will contribute to the achievement of Caring for our Country targets. The Australian Government recognises both the need for many different groups to work together to bring about change, and the importance of the diverse range of stakeholders working and volunteering in natural resource management across Australia. Investment proposals for Caring for our Country are expected to have regard for this diversity and the skills and knowledge that each sector brings to a partnership. The government is particularly keen to support projects delivered by parties having complementary skills and interests and working together to more effectively deliver projects. 2.0 Request for Partnership The Strategic Planning Unit of Gympie Regional Council was approached by Fraser Coast Regional Council on 2nd February 2009 to be a partner in a “Great Sandy Waterways and Catchment Strategy”. Fraser Coast Regional Council has identified the need for a partnership approach with a strong local government focus to achieve water quality improvements within its area.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 18 -
Gympie Regional Council
3.0 Project Proposal The Fraser Coast project proposal is based on the national targets in the Business Plan for Caring for Our Country including ‘managing World Heritage areas’, and ‘improving coastal hotspots’. The aim is to have Gympie Regional Council involved and create a Great Sandy Waterways and Catchment Partnership along the lines of the institutional arrangements in place for the SEQ Catchments Healthy Waterways Programme. The focus of the project is to have strong local government involvement in water quality improvement and to develop and implement the following: • management action targets; • four action plans to align with the identified management action targets
including: o Point Source Pollution Action Plan; o Diffuse Source Pollution Action Plan; o Event Monitoring Action Plan; and o Algae Management Action Plan;
• a comprehensive Water Quality Monitoring Programme covering waterways and the receiving environment (3 nautical miles from beach) to assess and model the achievements of the management action targets in the action plans;
• coral mapping data collection; and • BleachWatch data collection (Fraser Coast and Cooloola are in a moderate
coral bleaching area). The project will: • allow for better management of the waterways; • provide water quality data to local governments, which will help raise the
awareness of surface water conditions; • provide measurements of the quantity and quality of water and different
diffuse source pollutant concentrations; and • provide a performance bench mark to measure the effectiveness of
catchment remediation activities. Other partners identified for the project to date include: • Wide Bay Water Corporation, • industry groups, • Burnett Mary Regional Group, • Environmental Protection Agency, • Department of Natural Resources and Water, • Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries, • Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee, and • local universities.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 19 -
Gympie Regional Council
4.0 Further discussion warranted As Council has had no previous discussions with Fraser Coast about forming a partnership for this project and the short time frame for developing and submitting a funding application under “Caring for Our Country” it is suggested that Council not agree to this current request. However there is merit in commencing discussions with a view to understanding more about the benefits of the project and the expectations for any Council participation.
P25/02/09 Moved: Cr J. Watt Seconded: Cr L.J. Friske Recommend that Council advise Fraser Coast Regional Council that it is currently unable to participate in a Great Sandy Healthy Waterways and Catchment Partnership Project due to the short timeframe for submission of the funding application under “Caring for Our Country”, but is willing to provide a letter of support, and to participate in future discussions on this issue.
Carried. SECTION 8: GENERAL BUSINESS

The 2005 planning scheme includes the land within the Community zone. The use rights flowing from the previous Special Facilities rezoning disappeared upon gazettal of the 2005 scheme, resulting in no on-going approval to develop the balance of the site. The effect of the current planning scheme on the development of this land only really came to light late last year, during discussions with representatives of the Cooloola Christian College on the construction of the proposed multi-purpose facility. Legal advice was sought, which confirmed that further approvals for material change of use of premises were required to enable the balance of the site to be developed. 2.0 The Proposals
Two separate applications have been lodged with Council, one for the multi-purpose facility and one for the remainder of the proposed development on the land. The following proposal plan illustrates the extent of existing development, the proposed multi-purpose facility and the balance of development intended. Apart from some fairly minor design variations, the master plan provided as part of the latest applications is generally consistent with the plan approved as part of the original rezoning approval.

3.0 Assessment
Removal of the use rights to complete the construction of the College at this location was an unintended consequence of Council’s adoption of the 2005 planning scheme.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 24 -
Gympie Regional Council
It is normal for the development horizon for new schools to be many years from start to finish, and it was not a conscious decision of the Council of the day to prevent further development of the land beyond that completed in 2005. Rather, the issue relates to the way in which planning schemes prepared under the Integrated Planning Act deal with development previously approved under a special facilities rezoning. These types of zones do not fit neatly into the IPA planning scheme framework, and the impact of this on larger-scale developments being constructed over many years is only now being fully understood. Despite the change in zoning under the 2005 planning scheme, the proposals remain consistent with the land’s current Community zone. Given that:
• The entire college development has previously been assessed and approved;
• The development horizon for completion of the College was never intended to be affected by adoption of the 2005 planning scheme;
• Comprehensive conditions of approval were included as part of the special facilities rezoning approval and Rezoning Deed,
It is considered that the latest applications should be approved. It is also considered that under the circumstances, the conditions of approval should be those of the original special facilities rezoning approval and rezoning deed, rather than more contemporary – and possibly more onerous – conditions. This approach is reflected in the recommendation, however the latest Plan of Development has been referenced.
4.0 Public Notification These applications are code assessable, and public notification was not required. 5.0 Referral Agencies Both applications triggered referral to the Department of Main Roads and Queensland Transport. Concurrence agency conditions have been provided by DMR for both applications, and QT’s comments have been provided for the application for the multi-purpose facility. Although QT’s response to the second (larger) application have not been provided at the time of preparing this report, discussions with the relevant QT officer confirm that its requirements are likely to be minimal. These comments/requirements will need to be provided prior to Council issuing a development permit.

6.0 Conclusion New legislation in 1998 and a new planning scheme in 2005 have combined to remove the use rights provided by the historic rezoning approval for the development of this land for College and ancillary facilities. Development undertaken to date is protected by the lawful use provisions of the IPA, and there is no planning opposition to the expansion and completion of the College as originally intended. Although two separate applications have been submitted, both applications are dealt with in this report, and it is recommended that Council issue a single decision notice covering both applications. As mentioned earlier, the multi purpose facility is intended to proceed as soon as possible, however in order to prevent the approval for the remainder of the College lapsing prior to completion, a longer than the normal 4-year currency period has been requested. This is considered to be reasonable, and a 10 year currency period has been recommended for DA 2008-1888.
P27/02/09 Moved: Cr L.J. Friske Seconded: Cr G.L. Engeman Recommend that Council, as Assessment Manager, APPROVE development application DA2008-1886 and DA2008-1888 for Material Change of Use – Education or Health Premises (Multi Purpose Facility and alterations and additions to School/College Campus) over Lot 2 on RP825901 located at 1 College Road, Southside subject to:
1. Receipt of Queensland Transport’s Concurrence Agency response for DA2008-1888;
2. The conditions of Council’s rezoning approval dated 29 February 1996 and the terms of the Rezoning Deed of Agreement between the former Cooloola Shire Council and Cooloola Christian College entered into on 12 May 1997, except that the approved Plan of Development becomes D-01038-01-A/02-A, prepared by Martoo Consulting and dated 06/10/2008.
3. The currency period for DA2008-1888 being 10 years.
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.

KEY POINT SUMMARY
• Subdivision to create two materially new (2) Rural zoned lots from two (2) existing Rural zone lots
• Proposal plan indicates: - proposed Lot 29 (8 000m2) to be located in isolation on the western
boundary of the larger rural allotment (proposed Lot 30); - proposed Lot 29 to be fronted by bitumen seal for the full 100 metre
frontage, however access requires traffic to traverse a gravel section of Fleming Road for approximately 400m-500m
• Application results in improved access arrangements by removing Lot 1 on MPH14125, currently fronted by unformed road reserve, to a location which is fronted by a formed, Council maintained road
• Proposal results in approximately 9 200m2 of additional Good Quality Agricultural Land (Class A) and approximately 160m of frontage to Chatsworth Creek being added to the larger Rural zoned allotment (proposed Lot 30)
• Proposed Lot 29 should be relocated to remove the requirement for traffic to traverse a gravel section of Fleming Road and consolidate it with existing smaller allotments fronting Fleming Road.
• Application recommended for Preliminary Approval Report: (Administration Officer – S.A. Capell) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This application seeks approval to reconfigure two existing lots into two new allotments.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 28 -
Gympie Regional Council
2.0 ASSESSMENT The proposal is Code Assessable and is subject to assessment against the Gympie Planning Area Code, Reconfiguring a Lot Code, Infrastructure Works Code, Landscaping Code, Natural Waterways and Wetland Areas Code and Resource Areas Code.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 29 -
Gympie Regional Council
Gympie Planning Area Code The proposal complies with requirements of the Gympie Planning Area Code in relation to providing suitable building areas above flood events and will not result in adverse changes to light conditions, acoustic environment, traffic conditions, prevailing air quality and electricity supply to occupants of adjoining and surrounding premises. Reconfiguring a Lot Code The proposal does not comply with the minimum rural lot size of 100 hectares, however, currently Lot 1 on MPH14125 is 1.72 hectares and Lot 29 on RP818349 is 15.926 hectares which is significantly less than the planning scheme requirement. Both proposed lots are of sufficient size to accommodate suitable building areas and have access to telecommunications and electricity infrastructure. Removing Lot 1 on MPH14125 which fronts an unformed road, and introducing a new allotment on to Fleming Road, will improve the current access arrangement, as well as improving the larger rural lot with additional Good Quality Agricultural Land (Class A) and frontage to Chatsworth Creek. The proposal therefore complies with the specific outcome in the planning scheme which requires each lot to be of sufficient size and suitable proportions to be capable of being used for its intended purpose and does not create a greater number of lots below the minimum specified lot size. Proposed Lot 29, whilst zoned Rural, at 8 000m2 is consistent with a ‘Rural Residential’ lot size. The limited area will result in the allotment having restricted ‘Rural’ land use potential and as a result, the lot is likely to be used predominantly for ‘Rural Residential’ purposes. Notwithstanding this, a number of smaller Rural zoned allotments (ranging in size from 5 055m2 to 7 000m2) exist in the vicinity of the proposal and the specific outcome also allows for lot sizes below the minimum where lesser and reasonable size is warranted due to existing lot size. In its current proposed location, Lot 29 has a slightly more elevated position, however access from the road reserve to the allotment is over a relatively steep gradient. Requiring proposed Lot 29 to be relocated to the south-eastern corner of proposed Lot 30 will result in a building area with a similar gradient to the lot location on the proposal plan, no adverse impact on the amenity / outlook of the allotment and the access gradient from the road reserve will be reduced significantly. As a result, there appears to be no benefit from a building point of view in locating the lot in an isolated location on the western boundary on proposed Lot 30.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 30 -
Gympie Regional Council
A geotechnical report demonstrating the ability for proposed Lot 29 to accommodate on-site effluent disposal was not provided. Infrastructure Works Code The Infrastructure Works Code requires allotments in the Rural zone to provide sufficient on-site water storage and the ability for the lot to meet effluent disposal requirements and provide telecommunications and electricity supply. Provision of road infrastructure is to be designed and constructed in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 8: Infrastructure Works. Table 8.1 of the Policy outlines the Standards for Provisions of Works and Table 8:2 Road Width and Pavement Design Criteria. Fleming Road is classified as a ‘Rural Road’ and in accordance with the Policy would require construction to a 2 coat chip seal standard. Upgrading 400 metres to 500 metres of the gravel section of Fleming Road would be an onerous imposition on the applicant. The best planning outcome would see proposed Lot 29 relocated to the south-eastern corner of proposed Lot 30 where it would have direct sealed access to Gympie. Should this outcome be supported, a road contribution or upgrading would not be considered necessary given both existing lots have legal access. Landscaping Code Landscaping requirements not generally imposed on Rural Residential or Rural subdivisions. Natural Waterways and Wetland Areas Code Proposed Lot 29 will be located a minimum 400 metres away from the mapped Natural Waterway (Chatsworth Creek) and as a result no issues are raised. Resource Areas Code Planning Scheme Overlay mapping indicates that the subject sites contain an area of approximately 13 hectares (75%) of Good Quality Agricultural Land Class A in addition to a minor area of Class B. The Resource Areas Code requires that: ‘(2) Fragmentation of good quality agricultural land does not occur:
(a) below minimum specified lot sizes unless - (i) the long term agricultural viability of the lots is not
compromised, or is enhanced; or,
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 31 -
Gympie Regional Council
(ii) …
(b) where lots existing as at the date of the commencement of this scheme are below the minimum specified lot size in the Rural Zone unless the long term agricultural viability of the lots is not compromised, or is enhanced.’
The proposal should be amended to locate proposed Lot 29 on the western side of the existing small lots on Fleming Road, resulting in a loss of approximately 8 000m2 of Class A Good Quality Agricultural Land (GQAL). The larger lot (proposed Lot 30) will be enhanced by the addition of 1.72 hectares (Lot 1 on MPH14125) of Class A GQAL (a total increase of 9 200m2 of Class A GQAL to proposed Lot 30) and approximately 160 metres of additional frontage to Chatsworth Creek and compliance with the Code is achieved. 3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS Land Use Conflicts The proposal is to create two (2) materially new lots from two (2) existing Rural zoned lots, in order to allow access to a formed road. The development will also result in an improved building area for proposed Lot 29. The proposal plan submitted with the application shows proposed Lot 29 in an isolated location on the western boundary of proposed Lot 30. Given the smaller lot (proposed Lot 29) is surrounded on three sides by the larger rural lot (proposed Lot 30), concern is raised in relation to the impact this may have on to the utility for agricultural/farming purposes of the larger lot. Isolation of proposed Lot 29 on the western boundary of proposed Lot 30 is also out of context with the surrounding development pattern in the area, which includes three existing smaller lots ranging in size from 6 327m2-7 000m2 in the south-eastern corner of proposed Lot 30 and a 5 055m2 lot directly opposite. Relocation of proposed Lot 29 to the south-eastern corner of proposed Lot 30 would reduce potential land use conflicts from the agricultural/farming use of proposed Lot 30 on proposed Lot 29 and would be a logical extension to the existing smaller lots in the area. Site Access and Traffic Existing Lot 1 on MPH14125 is currently fronted by unformed, gazetted road reserve. Relocating the lot to the Fleming Road frontage of Lot 29 on RP818349 will improve access arrangements, however the proposal plan submitted with the application shows a new 8 000m2 allotment (proposed Lot 29) in an isolated location on the western boundary of proposed Lot 30.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 32 -
Gympie Regional Council
Locating proposed Lot 29 as indicated on the proposal plan will result in the lot gaining access to a sealed section of Fleming Road for the full frontage of the lot, however access to the site in this location would result in additional traffic travelling along a 400 metre to 500 metre gravel section of Fleming Road. As a result, Council may be placed under increased pressure to increase maintenance responsibilities/seal the gravel standard of Fleming Road. As a result of the creation of a materially new lot as opposed to realigning an existing boundary, Council has the ability to impose road upgrading and road contribution requirements. Although road upgrading would result in a desirable development outcome, the imposition of such a requirement may not be considered ‘reasonable and relevant’ given no additional lots are created. The recommendation to relocate proposed Lot 29 to the south-eastern corner of proposed Lot 30, next to three existing smaller lots ranging in size from 6 327m2-7 000m2 and directly across from a 5 055m2 allotment, all with approximately 70-80 metre frontages, would result in the lot having direct access to approximately 70 metres of sealed road frontage. 4.0 CONSULTATION Design Services Division Report: (Infrastructure Planning Manager – A. Laszlo) This engineering report is based on the report submitted by the applicant. The proposed boundary alteration/realignment is located in the Rural Zone as per Council’s Planning Scheme. LEAD-IN ROAD/FRONTAGE ROAD The development property has frontage to Fleming Road. The 100 metre frontage for proposed Lot 29 has a sealed construction on a standard formation, however a 400 metre to 500 metre section of Fleming Road is to a gravel standard and introducing additional traffic over this section of road may increase Council’s maintenance responsibilities. Although the allotments are and would remain zoned Rural, upgrading of the gravel section of Fleming Road could be applied to a similar standard required for a Rural Residential lot as per Policy 12, should the proposal be approved. EFFLUENT DIPOSAL A geotechnical assessment for effluent disposal addressing the requirements of the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code for proposed development prior to the sealing of the survey plan to be provided. STORMWATER/FLOODING This area is not subject to flooding.

Gympie Regional Council
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. 5.0 CONCLUSION The proposal to create two (2) materially new lots from two (2) existing titles can be supported ‘in principle’, however some amendments are required to ensure the smaller proposed Lot 29 does not affect the utility of the larger rural allotment (proposed Lot 30) and is consistent with the surrounding development pattern in the area. Relocation of proposed Lot 29 to the south-eastern corner of proposed Lot 30 will also remove the requirement for additional traffic to travel over the gravel section of Fleming Road to access the lot. It is recommended to issue a Preliminary Approval for the development, subject to the applicant seeking a Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create Two (2) Lots from Two (2) Existing Titles, relocating proposed Lot 29 to the south-eastern corner of proposed Lot 30 and providing a geotechnical assessment of effluent disposal for proposed Lot 29.
P28/02/09 Moved: Cr R.A. Gâté Seconded: Cr J. Watt Recommend that Council, as Assessment Manager, issue a PRELIMINARY APPROVAL for development application 2008-1172 for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create Two (2) Lots from Two (2) Existing Titles over Lot 1 on MPH14125 and Lot 29 on RP818349 located at Fleming Road, Two Mile subject to the following: • The applicant is to lodge an application to Council for a Development
Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create Two (2) Lots from Two (2) Existing Titles incorporating the following:
(i) A revised proposal plan showing proposed Lot 29 relocated to
the south-eastern corner of proposed Lot 30 (i.e. west of Lot 12 on RP818349 with similar dimensions); and
(ii) A geotechnical assessment for effluent disposal addressing the
requirements of the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code for proposed Lot 29.
Further, upon receipt of the necessary information, Council authorise the Director of Planning and Development under delegated authority to issue a Development Permit, subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.

Additional Lot EXISTING ZONE: Rural Residential LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code Assessable
KEY POINT SUMMARY • Subdivision to create one (1) additional rural residential lot • Site is largely uncleared and is covered by a significant amount of remnant
vegetation; • It is proposed for Lot 1 to contain the vegetation giving Lot 2 a reduced lot size; • Lot 2 (4 055m2) does not comply with 6 000m2 minimum lot size; • Supporting grounds include: - Proposal complies with the overall outcomes for the rural residential
zone by preserving existing vegetation and natural features; - Proposal complies with the overall outcomes of Reconfiguring a Lot
Code by creating lots of a size and dimension suitable for their intended use;
- Lot 2 is considered a suitable size to accommodate a building area, associated infrastructure and effluent disposal;
- Site constraints limit further subdivision potential of Lot 1; • Application recommended for approval

Gympie Regional Council
2.0 ASSESSMENT The proposal is Code Assessable and is subject to assessment against the Rural Residential Zone Code, Reconfiguring a Lot Code, Landscape and Buffer Code, Natural Features and Resources Overlay Code and Natural Hazards Overlay Code. The application complies with requirements of the Rural Residential Zone Code, Landscape and Buffer Code, Natural Features and Resources Overlay Code and Natural Hazards Overlay Code and is reported for consideration of non-compliance with the Reconfiguring a Lot Code. Probable Solution (a) (i) of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code requires ‘Allotments comply with the minimum dimensions for the particular zone’ which in the Rural Residential zone is 6 000m2 in area. Proposed Lot 2 does not comply with this requirement being only 4 055m2. The proposal is considered to comply with Specific Outcome (a) (i) In that allotments are of size and dimensions to meet the outcomes for development by having sufficient size and proportions to accommodate building and effluent disposal areas, as well as ensuring that the amenity of it and surrounding allotments is not compromised. The applicant has provided the following justification to support the reduced lot size. • Current proposal is the only way to subdivide the site in consideration of
the relevant provisions of the Regional Vegetation Management Code for the South-East Queensland Bioregion.
• Proposed new lot is capable of accommodating usual rural residential development and associated infrastructure including dwelling house, garage, tanks, pool effluent disposal.
• Due to significant natural constraints of the site in terms of existing ‘of concern’ remnant vegetation, there is limited capacity to provide any increase in the area available for rural residential purposes within proposed lot 2 even if the area was increased.
• Proposed layout will minimise the total amount of clearing that can occur within the site, and ensure retention and protection of significant vegetation at the rear of the site.
The proposal can be supported on a number of grounds including: • The remnant vegetation will be wholly contained within Lot 1; • Although Lot 1 will have a lot size of 1.6ha further subdivision is
considered unlikely given the environmental constraints of the site; • It has been demonstrated by the applicant that Lot 2 can accommodate a
suitable building area and effluent disposal and provides adequate space for rural residential purposes.

to Create Two (2) Additional Lots EXISTING ZONE: Rural Residential PLANNING AREA: Gympie LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 41 -
Gympie Regional Council
KEY POINT SUMMARY
• Reconfiguring a Lot application to create two (2) additional lots; • Site zoned Rural Residential, adjoining other rural residential blocks; • Application referred to Department of Natural Resources & Water as a
Concurrence Agency; • Some concern regarding amenity in regards to the proximity of suitable
house sites due to the smaller lot sizes; • Site adjoins large section of State forest to the rear of the site; • Site currently has one dwelling house, two domestic outbuildings, a dam
and a mango orchard on site; • 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 2.00 hectare lot. The land is currently zoned Rural Residential within the Gympie Planning Area. The proposed lot sizes are 5,312m2 for proposed Lot 1; 4,979m2 for proposed Lot 2; and 9,707m2 for proposed Lot 3.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 42 -
Gympie Regional Council
1.2 Site Description The topography of the site slopes gently towards the rear of the allotment. The subject site is currently improved contains one existing dwelling house, two domestic outbuildings and a dam.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 43 -
Gympie Regional Council
1.3 Surrounding Land Uses The subject site is currently zoned Rural Residential. Allotments on both sides of Glenbar Road are also zoned Rural Residential. The site also adjoins state forest land to the rear, which has the potential to pose a bushfire hazard risk to the site. 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 generally complies with all requirements relating to 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 Lots 1 and 2 do not meet the minimum lot size criteria for rural residential allotments. Proposed Lot 1 is 5,312m2 and proposed Lot 2 is 4,979m2 in area, well below the minimum requirement for 6,000m2. The applicant submits the following grounds in support of the proposal: “Proposed Lots 1 and 2 of the above mentioned development conflict with the minimum lot size specified in Schedule 9 Minimum Lot Areas, Dimensions and Frontages. However, it does not compromise the purpose of the code with respect to high amenity, good building separation, vegetation management and protection, appropriate on-site effluent disposal and environmental outcomes. Lot 1 and 2 are capable of being used for their intended purpose. We ask Council to consider the below report when approving this application.”
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 44 -
Gympie Regional Council
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 with 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. This is subject to the dam on proposed Lot 2 being filled or removed. 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. This may be achieved through a re-design of the proposal. 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 CONSULTATION 3.1 Internal (a) Design Department Council’s Design Department input has not been provided at this stage, and is not yet considered necessary as a decision on the proposal is recommended to be withheld pending the submission of an amended plan with compliant lot sizes in accordance with the requirements of Council’s Planning Scheme. 3.2 External (a) Department of Natural Resources and Water The application was referred to the Department of Natural Resources and Water who have no requirements in regards to the application.

4.0 CONCLUSION The proposal does not comply with Council’s Planning Scheme requirements in relation to minimum lot sizes. The application proposes a subdivision to create two (2) additional lots in the rural residential zone, however sufficient grounds have not been submitted to warrant Council support in the form of an approval at this stage. The proposal is recommended to be held over pending the lodgement of an amended layout from the applicant.

Reconfiguring a Lot – Boundary Alterations RPD: Lot 3 LX2370 and Lot 2 SP147042 SITE: 72 Greendale Road, Glastonbury
Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 Introduction A request has been received for Council to delete a condition relating to Energex requirements on a development approval for reconfiguring a lot (boundary alteration).
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 47 -
Gympie Regional Council
Conditions 5 of the approval reads: “5. An agreement is to be entered into with Energex to provide electricity to
all approved lots without any financial encumbrance on future owners of these lots.”
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 48 -
Gympie Regional Council
2.0 Applicant’s Submission The following letter has been received from the applicant: “We refer to your letter of 9 May 2008 granted conditional approval for boundary alterations. Since receiving your letter we have been attempting to fulfil the obligations placed on the approval. There is one outstanding matter and it relates to Condition 5, “An agreement is to be entered into with Energex to provide electricity to all approved lots without any financial encumbrance on future owners of these lots”. There is already an existing 11,000 volt line running across the properties as you would be aware and it would be that service which would be used to provide power to the proposed lot which does not already have power connected. Energex does not communicate with us nor with our surveyor. We are forced to engage an accredited design consultant to provide the evidence to Energex so as to fulfil the condition. It was only when we met on site with the consultant, Millwell Services Pty Ltd, that we realized they interpreted your condition to mean power is to be supplied at low voltage, and there is the suggestion of additional poles, transformer, survey fees, and other incidental costs. We can understand there could be a need to bring in a LV service if the current power supply was located remote from the site, but the current supply crosses the site, and there is no mention in your condition of voltage requirements. We believe the fact that because power already exists there is no need to do anything additional to comply with the condition and we would appreciate if you would convey that information to Energex before we are forced to spend additional monies. We are not attempting to circumvent any of our obligations, and as stated earlier, we could understand the need to provide power supply at low voltage if the source was remove from the site.” 3.0 Planning Comment Since this approval was issued connection to electricity is no longer considered necessary for a boundary realignment where the original lot sizes are not substantially changing and the intended use of the new lots remain the same (ie not changing from rural purpose to a residential purpose). This being the case, the condition is recommended to be deleted, but acknowledging that any subsequent owner of the new vacant lot will be put to significant cost in connecting to power. Potential purchasers can be made aware of this issue through a notation on Council’s rates records.

Report: (Principal Planner – K.M. Toomey) 1.0 INTRODUCTION Development approval for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create Two (2) Additional Lots and Access Easement was issued on 10 November 2008 under delegated authority. The applicant suspended their appeal period and lodged representations in relation to some of the conditions on 27 November 2008. The conditions requested to be reconsidered are outlined below.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 51 -
Gympie Regional Council
2.0 CONDITIONS 2.1 Condition 2.1 (a) 2.1.1 Council’s Condition ‘The existing road is to be upgraded to a standard compatible with the proposed development. Council requires the following works to be carried out on Browns Road: (a) 7.0 metre wide formation with 4.5 metre seal width and associated
drainage and a gravel turnaround area for the full frontage of the development site;
(b) … (c) …’ 2.1.2 Applicant’s Representations ‘It is requested that the above condition be changed. It is considered unreasonable that the road be constructed for the full frontage of the development site, given the proposed access point to the allotments is approximately 50 metres from the intersection. No vehicles associated with the development will travel further along Browns road. Therefore it us requested that he condition be changed to read as follows…’ 2.1.3 Applicant’s Suggested Amendment ‘a) 7.0 metre wide formation with 4.5 metre seal width and associated drainage and a gravel turnaround area for the frontage of the site up to the vehicle access point of the development site.’ 2.1.4 Council Staff Comments All land parcels located along the northern end of Browns Road are zoned Rural Residential. It is envisioned under the current Planning Scheme, that these allotments are likely to have subdivision potential, with the upgrading of Browns Road to a bitumen seal standard. Specific Outcome 1 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code states that: “All new lots for rural residential purposes:… have a bitumen road fronting the lots and direct bitumen road access into a service centre;”. As proposed Lots 2 and 3 will be accessed via a hatchet/easement arrangement, the suggested amendment would result in the creation of an allotment (Lot 3), without bitumen road frontage, which would be in conflict with the provisions of the Planning Scheme.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 52 -
Gympie Regional Council
The imposition of a condition requiring construction of a sealed road to the full frontage of the site is a standard requirement for Rural Residential subdivisions of this nature and would also be imposed upon any future subdivision approvals along Browns Road. It is therefore recommended that the condition remain as per the original Decision Notice. 2.2 Condition 2.1 (b) 2.2.1 Council’s Condition ‘‘The existing road is to be upgraded to a standard compatible with the proposed development. Council requires the following works to be carried out on Browns Road: (a) … (b) Intersection for Browns Road/Old Wolvi Road to comply with Queensland
Streets separation and alignment requirements at intersections. Note that Gympie Connection Road may need to be incorporated into the overall design to meet the above requirements;
(c) …’ 2.2.2 Applicant’s Representations
‘It is requested that the above condition be changed to allow for contributions to be paid to Council for the upgrade of the intersection. In accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 11 Roadworks Contributions Section 11.4 – Where development causes an immediate need for the carrying out of works Council may require the applicant to do the works. It is considered that the proposed addition of two allotments (20 vehicle movements per day) at the subject site does not cause an immediate need to carry out the works to the intersection. Further development of sites along Browns Road in the future may necessitate the upgrade at a later date. It is therefore requested that Council change the condition to require monetary contribution towards the cost of upgrading the intersection.’ 2.2.3 Council Staff Comments The upgrading of the Browns Road/Old Wolvi Road intersection is necessary in order to achieve Queensland Streets and Planning Scheme requirements for the construction of Browns Road to a sealed bitumen standard as required by the Planning Scheme and Condition 2.1(a). The works required by Condition 2.1(a) are not able to be undertaken exclusive of Condition 2.1(b) and as a result the creation of any additional Rural Residential lots within Browns Road, which are required to have a bitumen road fronting all lots, creates an immediate need for the upgrading to occur.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 53 -
Gympie Regional Council
Therefore a contribution in lieu of works is not practical in this instance and it is recommended that the condition remain as per the original Decision Notice.

Report: (Manager Development and Compliance – T.M. Stenholm) 1.0 Introduction Development Application for Reconfiguring a Lot – Boundary Alteration between six (6) existing titles was approved by Council in accordance with the following plan.
Approved Plan
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 55 -
Gympie Regional Council
2.0 Representations Representations are submitted in relation to an incorrect lot reference, proposed staging and stormwater. 3.0 Assessment 3.1 Condition 1 (a) Condition 1 reads: ‘The development shall be generally in accordance with the plans submitted with the application (Plan No/s.D-00654-01-B drawn by Martoo Consulting and dated 10/07/2007).’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘It has recently come to our attention that the proposal plan does not represent current cadastral boundaries to a minor degree due to the registration of SP179156. The applicant has also now proposes (sic) to stage the subdivision as the extent of roadworks required by Council where (sic) not envisaged especially considering the application proposes to only alter boundaries and increase the size of smaller township lots. The amended proposal plans enclosed and numbered D-00654-02-C and D-00654-02-C and shows to (sic) proposed staging and the current cadastral boundaries as we understand them to be. Requested Amendment to Condition 1: That this condition be amended to reference the current proposal plans noting other relevant conditions also need to be amended to reflect the proposed staging of the boundary alteration.’
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 56 -
Gympie Regional Council
(c) Assessment No objection is offered to the proposed staging however since submission of the representations a newer proposal plan to that referenced above has been submitted, to correct discrepancy in the lots involved. The plan to be endorsed for Stage 1 is now D-00654-01-E as included above.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 57 -
Gympie Regional Council
3.2 Condition 7 (a) Condition 7 reads: ‘The existing roads are to be upgraded to a standard compatible with the proposed development. Council requires the following works to be carried out on: (a) Muller Road – upgrade to 3.0 metre bitumen seal standard on 5.0
formation; (b) unnamed road – upgrade to 3.0 metre bitumen seal standard on 5.0 metre
formation; in accordance with Council’s Infrastructure Works Code.’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘As indicated above the applicant now proposes to stage the subdivision in a way that no roadworks would be required for Stage 1 and that Lot 3 could be sold to finance Stage 2. The applicant also considers that the sealing of the unnamed roadway would be wasted until that time the timber trucks no longer use the roadway. The timber trucks obviously have certain existing use rights to use this roadway however as Council is aware the intention is to value add to the timber rather than simply continue with the sawmill operations (n.b. DA08445 represents the first stage of this change in use/activities). Requested Amendment to Condition 7: That this condition be amended as follows: (a) no roadworks external or fronting the site are required for Stage 1 of the
boundary alteration; and (b) that only Muller Road be upgraded as required by Council for Stage 2 due
to the proposed bitumen upgrading of the un-named road will be wasted until that time that timber trucks will not be using the un-named road.’
(c) Assessment Report: (Design Department Manager – R. Chapman) It is understood the proposal as it affects engineering conditions is to stage the reconfiguring such that future lots 4, 5 and 6 be included as one lot (lot 8) that is exclusive of two existing lots (lots 7 and 8 on RP 42987) but inclusive of two existing lots (lots 1 and 2 on RP 42987). Lot 8 would then be subdivided at a later date. In addition, the bitumen sealing required as a result of lots 4, 5 and 6 being created is to be deferred to the final stage.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 58 -
Gympie Regional Council
As proposed lot 8 is to be created having access via either the unnamed road or Muller Road (neither of which are maintained by Council), lot 8 should be provided with a Council maintained road access suitable to the Village zone. The applicant advises sealing of the unnamed road would be best left until after timber truck use is finished and this is agreed. Hence, sealing of Muller Road only would be appropriate at this stage. The previous recommended width for sealing was for a 5.0 m seal on a 5.0 m formation. The approval granted only required a 3.0 m seal on a 5.0 m formation. This configuration is not practical to construct nor maintain. Hence, the condition 7 should be amended accordingly unless Council proposes to fund the extra sealing width. Planning Comment It was reported in the original assessment of the application that given the lots were being made more useable in terms of constructing residences on them therefore also becoming more saleable, at least forming road access to them should be imposed. It was recommended by staff at the time that the upgrading to Muller Road and the unnamed road be to a 5.0 metre gravel standard on a 5.0 metre formation. The recommendation was amended by Council to impose a requirement for 3.0 metre bitumen seal on a 5.0 metre formation. Regardless, the opportunity to revisit the road upgrading condition as imposed on the decision notice has passed. 3.3 Condition 10 (a) Condition 10 reads: ‘The method of treatment of stormwater runoff from and through the site shall be designed and constructed in accordance with Council’s Infrastructure Works Code.’ (b) Applicant’s representations: ‘This condition is considered vague as it simply refers to the site which includes all six proposed lots. Requested Amendment to Condition 10: It is requested that Council amends this condition to clarify which lot/s it requires information relating to the treatment of stormwater runoff.’
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 59 -
Gympie Regional Council
(c) Assessment The condition is standard wording and unlikely to apply to the development. Stormwater in relation to the proposed roadworks can be assessed under the Infrastructure Works Code as conditioned in the approval. The condition is recommended for deletion.
P33/02/09 Moved: Cr A.J. Perrett Seconded: Cr R.A. Gâté Recommend that Council APPROVE the request to change development approval (DA14802) for Reconfiguring of a Lot – Boundary Alteration over Lots 1, 2, 7 and 8 RP42987 and Lot 2 and 17 RP908166, located at Muller, Dagun and Klotz Roads and Kimlin Lane, Dagun Council issue a Negotiated Decision Notice incorporating the following: (i) acknowledgement of two (2) approved stages of the development and
referencing plans D-00654-01E for Stage 1 and D-00654-01-B for Stage 2;
(ii) roadworks requirements outlined in condition 7 be applied to Stage 2
of the proposal only and read: ‘The existing roads are to be upgraded to a standard compatible with
the proposed development. Council requires the following works to be carried out on:
(a) Muller Road – upgrade to 3.0 metre bitumen seal standard on 5.0 formation;
in accordance with Council’s Infrastructure Works Code.’; and (iii) Condition 10 to be deleted.

Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 86 -
Gympie Regional Council
Letter sent to Honorable Warren Pitt MP, Minister for Local Government & Main Roads on 23 October 2008 “You will recall discussing the matter of expending developer contributions on community halls at your meeting with Gympie Regional Councillors on 15 October 2008. At its General Meeting on 22 October 2008, Council resolved to write to you outlining its concerns as per your suggestion at the meeting. Gympie Regional Council currently administers some twenty-five community halls across the region, and Council is continually requested to fund maintenance or upgrades to many of these facilities. Council considers that at least some of the funding for the upkeep and development of community halls should be able to be obtained though developer contributions at the time of subdividing land in the general area. Council does not yet have a Priority Infrastructure Plan in place for the levying of infrastructure charges for local community land, and currently levies park contributions for subdivisions under a planning scheme policy as provided for in the transitional provisions of the Integrated Planning Act. The provisions of section 5(6)(6) of the Local Government (Planning and Environment) Act, which are applicable to the transitional arrangements, establish how Council must spend park contributions. It is understood that spending park contributions on maintenance or improvements to community halls may not qualify as the acquisition or improvement of parks or “…the development of recreational facilities.” As agreed at the meeting, Council requests that you liaise with the Deputy Premier and Minister for Infrastructure and Planning, Mr Paul Lucas MP, to ensure that the new planning legislation, when it commences, provides for local governments to be able to levy infrastructure charges to maintain, improve and develop community halls. Council appreciates your attention to this matter. If officers of your Department need to seek further information or clarification, they should contact Council’s Director of Planning and Development, Mr Mike Hartley on (07) 5481 0644.” Reply from Honourable Paul Lucus MP, Deputy Premier, Minister for Infrastructure and Planning received 3 February 2009. I refer to your representations to the Honourable Warren Pitt MP, Minister for Main Roads and Local Government, concerning the levying of infrastructure charges for community halls. As you are aware your correspondence was referred to me as the responsibility for infrastructure matters under the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA) falls within my portfolio.
Planning & Development Committee Meeting – 18 February 2009 - 87 -
Gympie Regional Council
I am sure you will be aware that the IPA allows the cost of providing land for community facilities such as community halls to be funded by infrastructure charges. This ensures that local government can obtain land early in the development process and at an affordable price. In the interests of housing affordability, the IPA does not allow the costs of constructing community facilities on the land to be funded by infrastructure charges. The State Government does not intend to alter this aspect of the IPA. Another important principle underpinning the infrastructure charging provisions of the IPA is that infrastructure charges only fund trunk infrastructure which is required to service development. Charges may also be levied for access to existing trunk infrastructure that has been provided to serve planned development. For the purpose of calculating charges, new infrastructure is valued based on the cost of its provision. Exiting trunk infrastructure may be valued at its current cost. This assumes that the infrastructure has been kept in ‘as new’ condition through regular maintenance. Because charges are levied for existing infrastructure as if it was new infrastructure, it follows that the cost of works to rehabilitate, maintain or replace aged or obsolete items within the trunk infrastructure network cannot also be funded through charges. The costs associated with maintaining trunk infrastructure such as community halls are more appropriately sourced from alternative revenue sources such as rates. This ensures that infrastructure charges remain fair and equitable. I trust this information is of assistance.”
