1 Introduction In accordance with the requirements of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA), it is proposed to undertake a Ministerial designation of land within the Redland City Council (RCC) local government area on behalf of the Department of Education and Training (DET) for the Cleveland District State High School (SHS). The proposed designation applies to land located at 20-42 Smith Street, Cleveland, and alternatively described as Lot 2 on C697, and Lot 11 on C696.

In accordance with the Advancing Queensland State Schools program, the Queensland Government is committed to building fit for purpose learning environments that support educational outcomes. The program provides an additional capital investment of $200 million and will be utilised for projects in over 90 schools and includes land acquisitions for new schools, new and refurbished school halls and accelerated capital projects, including administration and special education upgrades.

Over $100 million will be invested in new school halls and upgrading existing halls at 30 State schools. Over 60 additional schools will benefit from a range of capital works including upgrades to existing classrooms, administration facilities, special education facilities and new shade structures or covered learning areas.

To align with the Advancing Queensland State Schools program, the purpose of the community infrastructure designation is to undertake the following works at Cleveland District SHS. • construction of a new Multi-purpose sports (double court) hall; • associated walkway to link with the existing internal school network; and • identification of land for future outdoor third court and carparking area.

Building and Asset Services’ Town Planning Unit has prepared this Initial Assessment Report for Public Notification to provide information in the assessment of the proposed Ministerial designation of land for community infrastructure.

As part of this report the following documentation is provided: • Appendix 1 – Extracts from SPA • Appendix 2 – Designation Flowchart • Appendix 3 – Property Information • Appendix 4 – Contour and Detail Survey • Appendix 5 – Proposal Plans • Appendix 6 – State Interest Trigger Mapping • Appendix 7 – EPBC Protected Matters Report & NCA Wildlife Online Report • Appendix 8 – CLR & EMR Search • Appendix 9 – Geotechnical Investigation Report • Appendix 10 – Stormwater Management Plan • Appendix 11 – Acoustic Assessment


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

2 Legislative Context

2.1 The Sustainable Planning Act 2009 A list of community infrastructure is set out in Schedule 2 of the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009 (SPR).

The SPA prescribes the way in which Ministerial designations can be undertaken. The SPA, Chapter 5 (refer Appendix 1) prescribes that a Minister, before designating land for community infrastructure, must be satisfied that for development the subject of the proposed designation: • adequate environmental assessment has been carried out; • in carrying out such environmental assessment there was adequate public consultation; and • adequate account has been taken of issues raised during the public consultation

One way in which the requirements for adequate environmental assessment and public consultation may be met is for the assessment of the proposal to be carried out in accordance with the guidelines made by the chief executive under the SPA, section 760. The applicable guideline is the Guidelines for Environmental Assessment and Public Consultation Procedures for Designating Land for Community Infrastructure (April 2014). The guideline (available at http://www.dilgp.qld.gov.au) outlines a six-step process which describes two rounds of consultation, one including relevant public sector entities (including the local Council) and the other incorporating public notification to the wider community (refer Appendix 2). However, the guidelines and the process described therein are not exclusive and the Minister may choose to be satisfied that adequate environmental assessment and public consultation for designation has been undertaken in an alternate capacity.

On the basis the designation involves an established school use, it is considered that the requirement for adequate consultation can be satisfied by a single round of consultation. The single consultation round will involve notice to relevant State agencies, the local authority and adjoining landowners and will include public notification by way of a public notice placed in a locally circulating newspaper.

The effect of a Ministerial designation is that the use of the site for the described community infrastructure and services may proceed despite the local government’s planning scheme.

This designation will be undertaken in accordance with Chapter 5, Part 2 of the SPA.

2.2 Designation Process This Initial Assessment Report represents Step 1 of the designation process (refer to Appendix 2) and is intended to support the public notification stage (Step 4) being undertaken with those stakeholders identified in Section 10 and the wider community by way of a public notice in The Bayside Bulletin. Once information gathered as part of this stage is collated, the Final Assessment Report (Step 5) will be prepared for consideration by the Minister for Education and Minister for Tourism, Major Events and the Commonwealth Games.

The deviated process described in section 2.1 of this report results in the omission of Steps 2 and 3 of the designation process (refer to Appendix 2).

3 Background

3.1 Project History The Queensland Government is committed to building fit for purpose learning environments that support educational outcomes. The Advancing Queensland State Schools program is an additional capital investment of $200 million which includes land acquisitions for new schools, new and refurbished school halls and accelerated capital projects, including administration and special education upgrades. This program will see projects delivered in over 90 schools.

Over $100 million will be invested in new school halls and upgrading existing halls at 30 State schools. Over 60 additional schools will benefit from a range of capital works including upgrades to existing classrooms, administration facilities, special education facilities and new shade structures or covered learning areas.

It is therefore proposed to provide a new Multi-purpose sports hall at the Cleveland District SHS that aligns with the Advancing Queensland State Schools program. The project proposes to undertake the following works at the Cleveland District SHS: • construction of a new Multi-purpose sports (double court) hall; • associated covered walkway to link with the existing internal school network; and • identification of land for future outdoor third court and carparking area.

3.2 Redland City Local Government Area Profile The Redland City local government area is located along the east coast of the South East Queensland (SEQ) Region, approximately 26 kilometres south-east of the Brisbane Central Business District. Redland City is adjoined to the west by the City of Brisbane and Logan City with The City of Gold Coast to the south. It is also within the bounds of the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031.

Redland City has a total land area of 537km2. Being located on the coastline, the City also contains a number of islands including North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah), Coochiemudlo Island, and those collectively referred to as the Southern Moreton Bay Islands (Karragarra, Lamb, Macleay and Russell islands).

The estimated residential population of Redland City is 152,080 persons in 2016. With reference to the Draft South East Queensland Regional Plan document ShapingSEQ, the population is expected to increase to 188,000 persons by 2041.

Redland City contains two (2) Priority Development Areas (PDA) including Weinam Creek and Toondah Harbour. Weinam Creek is intended to become a point of community focus and a regional Gateway to Moreton Bay and the Southern Moreton Bay Islands. Toondah Harbour is a key waterfront destination within Cleveland, Redland City and South East Queensland. The two (2) PDA areas reinforce the intent for Redland City to remain a key gateway to the Moreton Bay and key tourist destination.

The median age of people in Redland City as at the 2011 Census was 39 years, with 27.4 percent of the population under the age of 20 years.

Census data reveals that there were 67,969 people who reported being in the labour force. Of these, 60% were employed full time, 32.8% were employed part-time and 5.4% were unemployed. The most common occupations included Health Care and Social Assistance, Retail Trade,


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

Construction, and Manufacturing. The median weekly income for people aged 15 years and over was $1,365.

Of occupied private dwellings in Redland City, 86% were separate houses. Of occupied private dwellings, 31.1% of which were owned outright, 39.6% were owned with a mortgage and 24.1% were rented. Of all households 75.6% where family households. Overall, 35.4% of total families were couple families with child(ren), and 11.0% were one-parent families.

3.3 Cleveland Suburb Profile At 2016, the estimated resident population for Cleveland was 15,398 persons. The median age of people in Cleveland was 46 years. Children aged 0 – 14 years made up 15% of the population and people aged 65 years and over made up 21.8% of the population.

Of the families in Cleveland, 26.5% were couple families with children(s), 30% were couple families without children and 10.6% were one parent families.

In Cleveland, 19% of all people were attending an educational institution with 6.9% in primary school, 5.7% in secondary school and 5.3% in a tertiary or technical institution.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

4 Proposed Designation The proposal seeks to designate the site as follows:

Cleveland District State High School

20-42 Smith Street, Cleveland

Lot 2 on C697 and Lot 11 on C696

Pursuant to Chapter 5, Part 2 of the SPA, it is proposed to designate the land described above for community infrastructure. Ministerial designation is proposed in order to facilitate the efficient allocation of resources and enable the timely supply of the community infrastructure. The proposed community infrastructure is best described in the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009, Schedule 2, Part 2 as:

4 community and cultural facilities, including facilities where an education and care service under the Education and Care Services National Law (Queensland) is operated or a child care service under the Child Care Act 2002 is conducted, community centres, meeting halls, galleries and libraries

6 educational facilities

15 storage and works depots and similar facilities, including administrative facilities associated with the provision or maintenance of the community infrastructure mentioned in this part

Further to the above, the designation includes: sporting facilities and associated infrastructure, road, vehicle lay-by and car parking and including commercial activities that support its Educational program.

A copy of the proposal plans are included in Appendix 5 and illustrates the proposed development. Additional details regarding the planning and design for the school is contained in section 7 of this report.

6 Current Planning Provisions

6.1 Planning Scheme Where land is not designated for community infrastructure, any development involving a material change of use of premises should have regard to the requirements of the relevant planning scheme. Whilst the intended designation will result in the development being exempt from assessment against this planning scheme, consideration must still be given to its relevant provisions.

The Redlands Planning Scheme (Planning Scheme) commenced on 30 March 2006. Since this time a number of amendments have occurred, with the current version (Version 7.1) taking effect on 17 June 2016. The Redlands Planning Scheme, Version 7.1 is the relevant planning scheme for the site.

6.2 Zoning Under Part 4 of the Planning Scheme the subject site is identified within the Community Purposes Zone, and more specifically within the CP3 – Educational Facility sub-area, as indicated in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Zone Plan Source: Redlands Planning Scheme (Version 7.1)

The overall outcomes are the purpose of the Community Purposes Zone Code. These overall outcomes are described by five (5) key characteristics:

(a) Uses and Other Development; (b) Built Form and Density; (c) Amenity; (d) Environment;


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

(e) Infrastructure.

The overall outcomes relevant to the CP3 sub-area are:

(a) Uses and Other Development (i) Provide for a specific range of uses that are located on land in public or private

ownership and that will meet the needs of the City’s existing and future community by – a. providing for facilities relating to education facilities such as a kindergarten, pre-

school, primary or secondary school, TAFE or university or the like (ii) Uses and other development, specifically reconfiguration, do not prejudice the intended

d. minimising the need to clear native plants; e. maximising the use of plant species that are native to the local area; f. incorporating best practice stormwater management that minimises adverse

impacts associated with run-off; g. enhancing water quality and minimising adverse impacts of potentially water and

soil contaminating substances; (e) Infrastructure

(i) Uses and other development – a. maximise use of existing infrastructure; b. provide for the extension of infrastructure in an orderly and cost effective manner; c. do not result in unacceptable risk to community infrastructure;

(ii) Manage the generation, storage and disposal of waste, commensurate with the specific activities of the use or other development.

(iii) Uses and other development are serviced by infrastructure necessary to serve the specific use, and maintain health and environmental standards, including, as applicable

a. reticulated water; b. reticulated sewerage; or c. where the site is not able to be connected to a reticulated sewerage system,

wastewater is treated and disposed of on-site subject to site, soil and locational constraints;

d. stormwater drainage; e. constructed road access; f. energy; g. telecommunications.

(iv) Uses and other development support an integrated, legible, efficient and safe movement network that -

a. facilitate a range of movement modes including public transport, passenger vehicles, walking and cycling;

b. provide for pedestrian, cycle and vehicle movement networks that maximise connectivity, permeability and ease of mobility;

c. maximise opportunities for the provision of pedestrian and cycle paths.

The Cleveland District SHS is an existing State government educational establishment with the proposed works consistent in scale, height and bulk of development at the school. The proposed Multi-purpose sports hall (double court) does not include a reconfiguration component will not prejudice the established use of the site and is in keeping with the purpose and character of the facility and community needs.

The location of the proposed works is well separated from adjoining detached dwellings and will be appropriately attenuated to further minimise potential impacts to amenity.

The proposal will be sited on land which consists of an existing oval which is flat and is cleared of native vegetation. This portion of the site is mapped outside of the environmental features.

The new Multi-purpose sports hall will utilise existing established urban infrastructure on the site.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

6.3 Overlays The planning scheme identifies physical constraints affecting development through the inclusion of overlays. An account of the relevant overlay constraints applicable to the site has been considered and described herein.

It is noted that the site is affected by the following overlays. • Actual Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay; • Habitat Protection Overlay; • Road and Rail Noise Impacts Overlay. Constraint Overlay Map Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay

The site is identified in the Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay, specifically in the between 5 and 20 metres AHD sub-category. The location of the Multi-purpose sports hall is at 10.25m AHD and is unlikely to be affected by Acid Sulfate Soils.

Furthermore, a Geotechnical Investigation Report has been prepared and identifies that the underlying geology does not consist of quaternary alluvial deposits, and the CSIRO ASRIS mapping tool indicates there is no known occurrence of acid sulfate soils over the site.

Habitat Protection Overlay The location of the Multi-purpose sports hall is entirely outside the mapped Habitat Protection Overlay. The proposed Multi-purpose sports hall will not result in the removal of, or impacts on existing vegetation, being located on existing cleared land within the site. An Environmental Checklist and Project Environmental Management Plan has been prepared which further identifies actions to minimises potential impacts on areas of environmental significance. Refer to section 9 of the report for full details.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

Road and Rail Noise Impacts Overlay

The Road and Rail Noise Impacts Overlay affects a small portion of the north-eastern corner of the site.

The proposed Multi-purpose sports hall will be located entirely outside of the impact area and therefore unlikely to be impacted by noise generated from these corridors.

6.4 Use Definition With reference to the Planning Scheme, Schedule 3 – Dictionary, the proposal for a new building within an established school is classified under ‘Education Facility’ and defined below.

Education Facility: Means the use of premises for the systematic training and instruction designed to impart knowledge and develop skill. The term includes -

(a) a primary school, secondary school, university, academy, boarding school, college, lecture hall, sheltered workshop, and technical college;

(b) ancillary facilities such as residential accommodation associated with the primary use.

6.5 Level of Assessment The proposed works associated with a new Multi-purpose sports hall within the existing Cleveland District SHS is code assessable development in accordance with Table 4.2.4 Community Purposes Zone – Table of Assessment for Material Change of Use of Premises, Part 4, Division 2 – Community Purposes Zone, of the Planning Scheme as it is in sub-area CP3 and would trigger an IDAS development application to the Redland City Council were statutory approval not being sought through a community infrastructure designation.

The effect of the community infrastructure designation is that the use of the site for the purposes of constructing a new building within Cleveland District SHS will be exempt from the local government’s planning scheme.

6.6 Regional Planning With reference to Figure 5, the site is included within the Urban Footprint of the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009 – 2031. The Urban Footprint identifies land that can meet the Region’s urban development needs to 2031. In particular, the urban footprint seeks to accommodate the full range of urban uses, including housing, industry, business, community facilities, tourist facilities, sport, recreation and urban open space.

The existing Cleveland District SHS, and the proposal for a Multi-purpose sports hall on the site, is consistent with the intent of the Regional Plan and provides additional community infrastructure that supports the existing and future residential community of Cleveland.

7.1 Intent of Designation It is proposed to designate the site for the purposes of the Cleveland District SHS in accordance with Schedule 2, Part 2, Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009. The designation is to allow for the current planned development at the Cleveland District SHS and enable future development, consistent with the designation purpose.

The proposed use is further described in section 7.2 of this report and illustrated on the proposal plans as contained in Appendix 5.

7.2 Proposed Multi-Purpose Sports Hall It is proposed to construct a new single-storey Multi-purpose sports hall that provides improved facilities at Cleveland District SHS. The proposed facility aligns with the Advancing Queensland State School program, and reinforces DET’s commitment in building fit for purpose learning environments that support educational outcomes.

The proposed scope of works includes: • construction of a new Multi-purpose sports (double court) hall; • associated covered walkway to link with the existing internal school network; and • identification of land for future outdoor court and carparking area.

With reference to Figure 6, the Multi-purpose sports hall will be centrally located within the site at the location of the existing oval to the east of the existing netball courts.

It is proposed to construct the new Multi-purpose sports hall to the east of the existing netball courts. The new Multi-purpose sports hall will accommodate a range of recreational activities including, but not limited to, basketball, netball, badminton, and futsal.

The proposed Multi-purpose sports hall is designed with a building height of up to ten (10) metres. It should be noted that the internal courts are designed with a minimum floor to ceiling height of 7.2 metres, and is a requirement to accommodate the recreational activities that are anticipated to occur within the facility (i.e. basketball and volleyball). The proposed pitch of the roof is five (5) degrees, increasing to the highest point of the roof which will provide sufficient natural ventilation and clearance for the proposed internal fixtures.

The proposed Multi-purpose sports hall will not result in the removal of, or impact on existing vegetation, as the development area is clear of vegetation.

The new Multi-purpose Hall is a capital investment and has no direct relation to any increase in school population. Cleveland District SHS offers a range of extracurricular activities including choir, drama club, dance teams, public speaking, and music ensembles. The proposal may provide the opportunity to enable the use of the new hall for increased after school events, as well as community events by sporting groups.

A copy of the proposal plans are provided in Appendix 5 for further reference.

The designation is also intended to facilitate future growth and expansion of services as required in accordance with population growth and service demands, however, it will be necessary that such


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

future development to be carried out on the subject land is pursuant to further planning and environmental assessment for individual development projects.

7.3 Statement of Public Benefit Educational and community facilities are defined as community infrastructure under Schedule 2 of the SP Regulation, being assets necessary to support the community and for the public benefit. The proposed community infrastructure will facilitate the efficient allocation of resources; and satisfy statutory requirements or budgetary commitments of the State or local government for the supply of community infrastructure.

The project will be constructed and operated in a manner that avoids adverse environmental impacts on the surrounding natural environment.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

8 Legislation and Policy Requirements In terms of development under the SPA, the designation is proposed to be undertaken in accordance with Chapter 5, Part 2 of the Act. The effect of the designation, if made, is that the use of the site for the designated community infrastructure and service will be exempt from the local government’s planning scheme.

In relation to any building works, these will be self-assessable development in accordance with Schedule 3, Part 2, Table 1, Item 1 of the SP Regulation.

8.1 State and Commonwealth Legislation Ministerial Designation is being sought for the site; hence this will exempt the State from any development approval requirements triggered under the local planning scheme. However, it is noted that this does not exempt the State from obtaining approvals/licenses and meeting obligations under Commonwealth and State legislation.

Any future development on the site is to be carried out in a manner that avoids significant adverse impacts to the onsite and surrounding environment and which gives appropriate regard to the provisions of the following (but not limited to) Commonwealth and State legislation: • Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003; • Building Act 1975; • Environmental Protection Act 1994 • Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 • Nature Conservation Act 1992; • Queensland Heritage Act 1992; • Sustainable Planning Act 2009; • Transport Infrastructure Act 1994. • Vegetation Management Act 1999; • Water Act 2000.

As part of the consultation stage, State agencies have had the opportunity to advise of relevant Legislation.

8.2 State Planning Regulatory Provisions Section 207(2) (b) of the SPA provides that the designating Minister must consider each relevant State Planning Regulatory Provisions (SPRP). SPRPs are the policy documents through which the State Government describes its interest in development related matters.

The gazetted SPRPs, operating under the SPA are as follows:

8.3 Single State Planning Policy Section 207(2) (b) of the SPA provides that the designating Minister must consider each relevant State Planning Policy (SPP). On 2 December 2013 the Single State Planning Policy was gazetted. For all state interests, when making a decision about the designation of land for community infrastructure, the Minister must consider: • the principles in Part C of the SPP, and • all the plan making provisions outlined in the section ‘Making or amending a planning scheme

or designating land for community infrastructure’ in Part D of the SPP.

Consideration of the principles of Part C is contained in section 8.3.1 and consideration of Part D is contained in section 8.3.2.

8.3.1 Principles of the SPP

Principles of the SPP OUTCOME FOCUSED • Clearly focus on the delivery of outcomes • Queensland’s economic development is supported through decision-making which integrates and

balances the economic, environmental and social needs of current and future generations. • Innovative approaches to design and development are supported where consistent with a planning

scheme’s strategic intent.

• Stated objectives, needs and aspirations of the community, at the state, regional and local level, are supported by development.

The proposal seeks to designate the site for the purposes of a new Multi-purpose sports hall at Cleveland District SHS. The designation considers economic, environmental and social needs of current and future generations through the delivery of the infrastructure.

INTEGRATED • Reinforce the role of local planning schemes as the integrated, comprehensive statement of land use

policy and development intentions for a local area • Plans are coordinated and integrated expressions of land use policy intent for a local area,

considering state, regional and local matters. • Plans integrate land use, resource management and infrastructure needs and considerations.

• Plans include performance-based assessment of development against a clear hierarchy of planning policies demonstrably linked to the achievement of ambitious and long-term strategic planning.

Not applicable – The proposal is for a community infrastructure designation and not for plan making.

EFFICIENT


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

• Support the efficient determination of appropriate development • Assessment is responsive, flexible and performance-based. • Development regulation and restriction is only where necessary and, if so, is proportionate to the

potential impacts of the development being regulated.

• Strategically consistent development is facilitated and supported through targeted plans.

The proposal seeks to designate the site for the purposes of a Multi-purpose sports hall at Cleveland District SHS. The designation forwards the efficient and timely delivery of infrastructure while ensuring that subsequent works on the site can proceed without assessment against the local government planning scheme.

POSITIVE • Enable positive responses to change, challenges and opportunities • Contemporary information, challenges and community needs and aspirations are reflected through up-

to-date plans. • Evidence and objectively assessed needs form a basis for planning which uses the best available

knowledge.

• Community resilience and adaptability to change are enhanced.

Not applicable – The proposal is for a community infrastructure designation and not for plan making.

ACCOUNTABLE • Promote confidence in the planning system through plans and decisions which are transparent and

accountable • Plans reflect balanced community views and aspirations with a clear focus on increasing the

community’s role in plan making. • Defensible, logical and fair development decisions are supported through clear and transparent

planning schemes.

• Access to planning information is simple and clear, capitalising on opportunities presented by technology

The community infrastructure designation process is proposed in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009. Consultation with relevant State agency stakeholders, political representatives, local government and the community will occur as part of this process.

8.3.2.1 Coastal Environment

Liveable Communities

The liveability of communities is of fundamental concern to all levels of government as it directly influences our quality of life and wellbeing. As the population of our cities and towns grow, and socioeconomic and demographic profiles change, the importance of attractive, healthy, safe, accessible and inclusive places and spaces increases.

Quality of life is influenced by a range of factors, including the built and natural environments in which we live, and our ability to access employment and quality open spaces to interact with nature and other people. The provision of and access to a wide range of services and facilities underpins community wellbeing and liveability, and can have a major effect on community health, safety, access and employment.

The government (federal, state and local) and the private sector deliver and support a wide range of infrastructure and services to support communities—education, health, emergency services, sporting facilities, communication networks, energy, waste management and water infrastructure. Integrated approaches to land use and infrastructure planning improve communities’ access to services and maximise the benefits of infrastructure investment.

Community health and wellbeing is also vital to our economic prosperity due to the impact that poor health and a lack of social cohesion can place on healthcare systems. Liveable communities, through good urban design, can help alleviate these pressures and the associated economic and social costs.

To enhance liveability, the built and natural environments can be creatively designed or transformed through the well-planned placement and design of buildings, pedestrian and cyclist access, road and street networks, sport and recreation facilities, and public open spaces.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

The proposal contributes to the State interest of liveable communities through the provision of community infrastructure to support the existing community. The proposed Multi-purpose sports hall will provide greater opportunities to enjoy an active lifestyle in a sub-tropical climate, increasing usability and functionality of the facility.

Housing Supply and Diversity

Housing is required to cater for different lifestyles, incomes, ages, household and family types, and community needs.

The state’s interest in housing supply and diversity is to ensure sufficient land and housing stock is available in appropriate locations to support development, resource and infrastructure-related projects, and to meet the diverse needs of different sections of the community.

Growing communities (particularly those in metropolitan, emerging regional and resource areas) need land developed and new housing built in a timely manner to accommodate workers and families. In other circumstances, urban renewal or infill development may be the most appropriate option to achieve environmental, social and economic outcomes.

Diversity of housing provides communities with choice and the ability to adapt as community structures evolve, and family and household types change. Adequate housing is required to meet the diverse needs of communities that include: • single person households • couples • families • people requiring assisted living • older people • extended families • students • non-resident workers.

Effective planning policies for diverse residential development will benefit the Queensland economy by supporting the development and construction industries, and the liveability of our communities.

The proposal is intended to be used for the purposes of delivering new community infrastructure within an existing community. The facility will further support the community of Cleveland.

8.3.2.2 Planning for Economic Growth

Agriculture

Agriculture is central to Queensland’s economic productivity, employment and the supply of food, fibre, fish, timber and foliage for domestic and international markets.

Agriculture is an integral part of many regional and local economies and communities. It supports other businesses within the agricultural supply chain and uses key infrastructure such as roads, energy and water supply infrastructure, rail networks and ports.

Agriculture makes up a significant proportion of the state’s land use. Access to the state’s natural resources is critical to a sustainable agriculture industry. Agricultural resources are of state and national importance and should be protected from incompatible activities that would compromise existing or potential productivity. With sound management, these resources can support


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

agricultural production in perpetuity. However, these resources are finite and are not easily restored once disturbed or degraded.

Supporting agricultural development involves creating conditions that enable a competitive, thriving and viable sector to be maintained, and managing the sustainable use of natural resources (including soil, land, native forests and water) critical for agricultural productivity.

The State’s interest in planning for agriculture is to: • reduce the potential for conflict between agricultural land and other uses • protect resources from inappropriate development • minimise encroachment to ensure viable tracts of agricultural land are maintained • improve opportunities for increased agricultural investment, production and diversification.

The site is currently utilised for the purposes of the existing Cleveland District SHS and within an area identified for urbanisation and is therefore not suitable for agricultural purposes.

Development and Construction

Planning for development and construction supports a thriving industry that is both a major employer, delivers the housing we need and is a prerequisite for other economic activities. Planning for commercial and industrial development will provide certainty for developers, investors, and government; maximise productivity; and deliver value for money by encouraging the coordination and sequencing of land and infrastructure provision.

Strategic planning needs to ensure a broad range of economic development opportunities are able to grow in response to current and projected economic demand, and to meet the needs of the communities in which they operate.

Strategic planning needs to be supported by efficient assessment processes and infrastructure planning to ensure that development opportunities can be realised.

Effective planning policies that support development and construction have a twofold benefit for Queensland’s economy—they enable the growth of the high employment commercial and industrial sectors, and they support a thriving development and construction sector.

The site is intended to be used for the purposes of delivering new community infrastructure and does not impede the achievement of the State interest.

Mining and Extractive Resources

The resources industry is a key driver of the Queensland economy and the state’s largest export earner. It is a diverse industry that supports the needs of other industries and the community through the supply of valuable commodities including coal, coal seam gas, minerals and petroleum. Ongoing resource exploration and development is vital to the delivery of employment, infrastructure, skills and prosperity.

Coal, minerals, petroleum and gas activities are not regulated under the planning Act and as such, are not assessed against the SPP or local government planning schemes. However, local planning schemes can identify the location of coal, minerals, petroleum and gas deposits and ensure that the issues and opportunities generated by resources development are considered as part of the planning process. This consideration will strengthen opportunities for the mutually beneficial co-existence of mining and other developments.

Extractive industries (e.g. quarries) are regulated under the planning Act and are assessed against local planning schemes. The supply of extractive resources such as sand, gravel, rock, clay and


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

soil is essential to the health of the construction industry and the delivery of infrastructure. Given the high-volume, low-value nature of extractive resource products, it is generally necessary to source extractive resources close to markets. Such locations are often subject to encroachment from sensitive land uses.

The state has an interest in ensuring that mining and other resource activities are considered in land use planning because of the economic benefits to Queensland and the contribution to our quality of life. The purpose of identifying key resource areas is to protect important extractive resources from incompatible land uses. A key resource area is not a development approval for extracting the resource. This interest acknowledges that development decisions will require the careful consideration of competing interests.

The site is not identified as a key resource area or area suitable for coal, mineral, petroleum and gas resources.

Tourism

Tourism contributes significantly to creating and sustaining jobs, generating export revenue, and strengthening local and regional economies. The state’s interest in tourism seeks to support these economic opportunities for local communities, regions and the state.

Tourism encompasses a diverse range of development types, sizes and locations, and includes accommodation, attractions, facilities, infrastructure and other ancillary services. Planning needs to recognise this diversity and be sufficiently flexible to support tourism, particularly where it can complement other land use and economic activities.

Tourism development can complement and co-exist with other land uses including those on a site where the primary existing land use is for non-tourism purposes. For example, cheese tasting or farm-stay activities may be compatible with an existing dairy farm operation or similarly, ecotourism may be supported in a natural area to promote outdoor recreation or education regarding the area’s environmental values.

Queensland is home to many world-class natural tourism assets. The Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area in particular represents one of the most remarkable natural wonders of the world and is a significant driver of tourism in Queensland.

A strong, long-term and sustainable tourism industry depends on maintaining such world-class natural areas, protecting and enhancing the unique natural and cultural values of important tourism assets, and ensuring the provision of supporting infrastructure and services.

The site is located in an urbanised area and proposes to construct additional community infrastructure to support the established school. The proposal will not adversely impact upon an existing or planned tourism development.

8.3.2.3 Planning for the Environment and Heritage

Biodiversity

Biodiversity (biological diversity) is the variability among living organisms from all sources (including terrestrial, aquatic, marine and other ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part), at all levels of organisation, including genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity.

Queensland’s biodiversity is unique and irreplaceable with a diverse range of ecosystems reflecting the state’s complex physical environment—from the Great Barrier Reef to desert


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

landscapes, Gondwana rainforests and important wetlands that are home to threatened animals such as the koala, cassowary and bull oak jewel butterfly.

In Queensland the environment provides food, recreation, materials and energy. It contributes to the character and identity of the places we live, and to the social, environmental and economic wellbeing of our communities. Safeguarding biodiversity at the national, state and local level, and building ecological resilience is therefore essential now and for future generations.

Planning and development decisions can maintain and enhance biodiversity by protecting ecosystems, their ecological process and the ecosystem services on which we rely. For example, the conservation of wetlands contributes to community wellbeing and economic development by protecting the ecosystem services that wetlands provide including:

• filtering of pollutants • regulation of climate and flooding • coastal protection • provision of habitat for flora and fauna • support of fisheries, recreation and tourism opportunities.

It is also important to manage and protect areas that provide links between natural areas in regions where habitat fragmentation has occurred.

The site is not mapped as containing any MSES vegetation. The proposal will not impact this State interest.

Refer to section 9 of this report for details relating to the environmental assessment for the proposal.

Coastal Environment

The coastal environment, including off-shore islands, is important for its natural processes and resources, and its economic, social and aesthetic values.

With a significant portion of the Queensland population living and working along the coast, planning and land use decisions should promote liveable communities. Decisions should also consider the effective management of urban growth needs, and promote consolidation through infill and redevelopment within existing urban areas.

Tourism in the coastal environment in Queensland is a major contributor to the local, state and national economy, with key assets, such as the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, generating significant and diverse tourism opportunities.

Coastal-dependent development also represents a unique and necessary component of the state’s economy. To function effectively, coastal-dependent development must be located in suitable areas adjacent to the coast to allow for access to coastal resources such as tidal water. It is important that opportunities for this are supported.

Access to coastal waters and the foreshore is also important for local communities and visitors as it provides opportunities for recreation (e.g. recreational fishing) as well as commercial operations (e.g. whale watching and commercial fishing). The location of certain development can influence this accessibility by either serving to promote or restrict it. Restricted public access may be necessary due to operational requirements to ensure public safety or the safety of employees (e.g. at a working shipyard, slipway or commercial marina). In some circumstances public access may also be affected by the need to maintain the stability of dunes and the foreshore, to protect biodiversity and foreshore ecosystems, and to afford long-term protection of adjacent landward infrastructure from natural hazards.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

As the coastal environment is highly dynamic and may be impacted by coastal erosion and storm-tide inundation, planning and development decision-making should employ risk-management approaches that take into account the projected impacts of climate change.

The economic and social costs of protecting development against natural hazards, and the financial, social and human costs associated with a natural disaster, justify access and development constraints in vulnerable coastal areas.

Policies regarding the management of coastal hazards are contained in the natural hazards state interest. Policies regarding the management of biodiversity (including within the coastal zone) are addressed in the biodiversity state interest.

The site is not located within the boundaries of the Coastal Zone or Coastal Management District.

Cultural Heritage

Queensland’s heritage—world, national, state and local—is unique, diverse and irreplaceable.

Places recognised for their cultural heritage significance include historic buildings, memorials, structures, gardens, cemeteries, archaeological sites, streets, townscapes, culturally significant natural landscapes and places of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage. These places are important because of their embedded aesthetic, architectural, historical, scientific, social and spiritual values.

Cultural heritage, both indigenous and non-indigenous, underpins and enhances our community identity and provides a valuable insight and connection to the past. It provides us with historical understanding upon which to grow and develop our communities. Conserving heritage places can also deliver valuable economic benefits throughout Queensland. By capitalising on the cultural heritage values of important historic and natural landmarks, we can generate local and regional tourism opportunities.

Planning plays a key role in ensuring that development affecting a place of cultural heritage significance supports its long-term conservation through preservation, restoration, reconstruction or adaptive re-use and renewal. Where practicable, development can also enhance our appreciation of cultural heritage values. Consultation with and involvement of traditional owners in planning processes is particularly important to empower the local community to identify and conserve indigenous cultural heritage.

The Burra Charter provides the guiding principles for the conservation of cultural heritage in Australia. Natural heritage is also of interest to the state and is considered part of the state interest for biodiversity.

All cultural heritage:

The site is not identified as a world heritage properties and or national heritage place.

Indigenous cultural heritage:

Search results from the Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnership (DATSIP) cultural heritage database shows no records of indigenous cultural heritage within 1km of the school site.

It should be noted that often the absence of recorded Aboriginal cultural heritage places reflects a lack of previous cultural heritage surveys of the area.

The proposed development is to be located within an area subject to previous clearing, therefore, the nature of the activity is likely to be classified as ‘area previously subject to


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

significant disturbance – Category 4’, under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003, Section 28 Duty of Care Guidelines. Subject to measures set out in paragraph 5.6-5.12, under Category 4 of the Duty of Care Guidelines, the proposed activates can proceed without further cultural heritage assessment.

It should be noted that any Aboriginal cultural heritage, if found, is protected under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 even if DEHP has not recorded it. Contract documents should include provisions for works to cease and the relevant Aboriginal Party to be contacted if evidence of Aboriginal cultural heritage is encountered during site works.

Non-indigenous cultural heritage:

The site is not listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.

Water Quality

Queensland is home to a diverse range of waters from the upland streams of the Great Dividing Range and inland waters out to the coastal waters of the iconic Great Barrier Reef and Moreton Bay.

Healthy lakes, streams, wetlands, groundwaters, coastal waters and catchments are an integral part of our lifestyle and economy, to which we associate many environmental values, including aquatic ecosystems, agriculture, industry (including mining), recreational use, drinking water, fishing, and cultural and spiritual values.

In order to protect this valuable resource, and enhance the environmental values of Queensland waters, catchments should be managed sustainably. This means that the planning, design, construction and operation of development should be undertaken in a manner that protects environmental values and maintains or enhances water quality.

All elements of the water cycle are interdependent. Therefore, it is important that water use is managed on a total water cycle basis, balancing uses of water, maximising opportunities for recovery and reuse and avoiding or minimising impacts of stormwater and waste water discharge to receiving waters. This will lead to the protection and enhancement of the environmental values of receiving waters including high ecological value (HEV) waters, freshwaters, estuaries, rivers and creeks, bays, groundwaters and the Great Barrier Reef.

Water sensitive urban design (WSUD) is an important approach to the planning and design of urban environments. WSUD measures (such as bio-retention basins, grassed swales and artificial wetlands) can help to protect environmental values by managing the impacts of stormwater runoff. Stormwater and erosion management controls during the construction phase are key to minimising impacts during land development.

Protecting Queensland’s water quality can strengthen the Queensland economy and support positive social and environmental outcomes by:

• maintaining and/or enhancing opportunities for economic development including agriculture, fisheries, mining and tourism activities

• reducing demand/impacts on drainage infrastructure and water supply treatment costs • improving amenity and opportunities for recreation and tourism in urban and rural environments • supporting the natural water cycle, ecological health and a healthy drinking water supply.

A Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) has been prepared (contained in Appendix 10) which addresses the stormwater quantity and quality objectives in accordance with the Single State Planning Policy, including the SPP Code: Water Quality. The SWMP includes provisions to achieve appropriate storm water quality treatment measures for construction and post construction phases.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

The development will be constructed on part of land which is currently unpaved. Once developed, the total infiltration area will decrease and result in an increase in hard surface area. As such, this will potentially have an impact on existing stormwater management systems within the site. It is proposed to incorporate a combined bioretention/detention basin which will discharge the treated stormwater via a new underground stormwater pipe to be constructed towards the southern boundary. The proposal does not result in an increase of stormwater discharge from that of the existing scenario and as such, the development will not create any adverse impacts to downstream properties.

In order to satisfy the requirements of the water quality objectives in accordance with State Planning Policy, a proposed bioretention basin is recommended for the treatment of stormwater runoff to remove hydrocarbons, suspended solids and nutrients prior to discharge from site.

Future development pursuant to the designation is required to be informed by a project stormwater management plan prior to design finalisation and construction.

8.3.2.4 Planning for Hazards and Safety

Emissions and Hazardous Activities

Protecting the health, safety, wellbeing and amenity of communities and the environment is a fundamental role of land use planning.

Some activities including industrial development and noisy sport and recreation have the potential to cause nuisance to communities and other sensitive uses through environmental emissions including air, noise and odour pollution.

Certain developments need to be planned and effectively managed to avoid or minimise any potential adverse impacts from emissions and hazardous materials. This means separating sensitive uses from development and activities that pose a risk. This can be achieved by either locating the development or activity away from sensitive uses, or by ensuring development for a sensitive use does not encroach on land for industrial development or sport and recreation activities.

Preventing the unreasonable encroachment and unnecessary restriction of industrial development by incompatible development is important. Not only will this maintain community safety but it will also facilitate the sustainable operation of activities essential to Queensland’s economy.

Other developments, such as those that involve hazardous materials, can pose an even greater risk to the health and safety of communities and individuals, and the natural and built environment. These risks must be adequately managed to avoid potential adverse impacts.

An Acoustic Assessment has been prepared and demonstrates that the proposed design and construction of the building is expected to achieve the noise criteria for activities to be conducted within the building and is not expected to pose any environmental nuisance. The proposal will achieve with the objectives identified in Schedule 1 of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008.

Refer to section 9 of this report for details relating to the environmental assessment for the proposal. For full details, the acoustic assessment is contained in Appendix 11.

The proposed development is unlikely to generate air emissions, however if any source of air pollution is proposed, the activity should be assessed against the air quality objectives set out in Schedule 1 of the Environmental Protection (Air) Policy 2008.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

Natural Hazards

A natural hazard is a naturally occurring event that may cause harm to people and our social wellbeing, damage to property and/or infrastructure and impact our economy and the environment. Effective land use planning and development decisions can ensure development avoids, mitigates or manages the impacts of certain natural hazards including flood, bushfire, landslide, storm tide inundation and coastal erosion.

Planning for these natural hazards through land use planning can also significantly reduce the financial and other resource pressures placed on all levels of government, industry and the community, to respond to and recover from natural disasters. For this reason, there is a shared responsibility to manage the impact these natural hazards may have to people, social wellbeing, property, the economy, the environment and infrastructure.

The effects of climate change are projected to impact on the footprint, frequency and intensity of natural hazards. Projected sea level rise for example, will increase the extent of coastal hazards, progressively cause the permanent inundation of low lying land and extend the risk of storm tide inundation to new areas. Increased temperatures for example, will increase the likelihood, intensity and extent of areas affected by bushfires, extend fire seasons and decrease the opportunity for hazard reduction between fire seasons.

The state’s interest in natural hazards, risk and resilience seeks to ensure natural hazards are properly considered in all levels of the planning system. This consideration includes avoiding or mitigating the risks associated with natural hazards to an acceptable or tolerable level, increasing community resilience and decreasing the burden for emergency management.

Key to achieving these outcomes is an integrated, evidence-based process that empowers local government and the community to plan for their local circumstances and contributes to achieving a safer and more resilient Queensland.

The site is not located within the Coastal Hazard Area, Flood Hazard Area, or Bushfire Hazard Area and this State interest is therefore not applicable to the proposal.

8.3.2.5 Planning for Infrastructure

Energy and Water Supply

Providing safe, reliable and affordable energy and water supply is vital to meeting the basic needs of communities and to ensure a liveable, sustainable and prosperous Queensland. This includes opportunities for renewable energy technologies.

The state’s network of high-voltage electricity and bulk water supply infrastructure provides the backbone of this system, moving electricity and water resources from generators and storage sites to the areas in which they are consumed. The planning system plays an important role in supporting the timely, safe, cost-efficient and reliable provision and operation of this infrastructure.

Local planning can contribute to reducing the cost of providing these essential services by recognising and protecting existing and approved future supply infrastructure corridors and associated facilities.

The site is not located in proximity to a high voltage electricity easement or bulk water supply infrastructure.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

State Transport Infrastructure and Networks

Economic and social development in Queensland depends on a system of transport infrastructure that is safe, structurally sound and reliable. Transport infrastructure provides access to employment, social services and recreational opportunities, and drives economic growth by supporting productive and successful industries and businesses.

Development can affect the safety and structural and operational integrity of state transport infrastructure if it is not appropriately located, designed, constructed and maintained. Planning for development must consider the location of existing infrastructure as well as access, design features, safety requirements, function, current and future operating conditions and the increased infrastructure demand and maintenance requirements that may result from a development.

Development can also affect the performance of the whole transport network by impacting on the safe and efficient movement of people and goods across the network. Therefore, developments must be integrated with state transport infrastructure to ensure transport networks are used safely, efficiently and sustainably, and our communities are connected, prosperous and liveable.

State transport infrastructure generates environmental emissions such as noise, vibration, air particulates and light. These emissions can adversely impact the health, wellbeing and quality of life of surrounding communities if not managed appropriately. Transport agencies, planning authorities and developers each have a role in ensuring community exposure to environmental emissions generated by state transport infrastructure is reduced to acceptable levels.

The site is not identified as being in proximity to any transport infrastructure or networks and this State interest is therefore not applicable to the proposal.

Strategic Airports and Aviation Facilities

Strategic airports and aviation facilities play a key role in facilitating economic growth in Queensland. All sectors of the Queensland economy including tourism, trade, logistics, commercial business and extractive industry rely on the efficient movement of people and freight through strategic airports. The continued growth and development of Queensland’s aviation industry is also dependent on access to strategic airports.

Strategic airports are also a vital part of Queensland’s passenger transport infrastructure network, ensuring communities can access employment and recreation opportunities, and vital services such as health and welfare.

Military airfields are an integral part of the national defence system, support emergency service activities and make significant contributions to surrounding regional economies.

The strategic airports and aviation facilities to which the SPP applies are essential elements of the national and state air transport network and the national defence system. Ensuring development does not impact on the safe and efficient operation of these facilities will support continued growth of the state’s economy, regional communities and national defence.

The site is not identified as being in proximity to any strategic airport or aviation facilities and this State interest is therefore not applicable to the proposal.

Strategic Ports

Queensland’s sea ports are a major component of both the national and state supply chain. They provide a vital connection to global markets, facilitating import and export of goods and materials that are integral to the Queensland economy and our quality of life. In 2011–12 Queensland’s strategic ports handled over 250 million tonnes of goods and materials such as coal, mineral ore,


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

petroleum products, general cargo (cars, household appliances, clothing, building materials) and food.

Queensland’s sea ports also form an important part of the national defence system, providing necessary infrastructure to ensure Australia’s defence force is able to operate effectively and efficiently in protecting and advancing Australia’s strategic interests.

Ensuring development does not impact on the safe and efficient operation of Queensland’s sea ports will support continued growth of the state’s economy and Australia’s national defence system. It is also important to ensure that port operations do not result in unintended social and environmental impacts on communities close to ports.

The site is not identified as being in close proximity to a strategic port and this State interest is not applicable to the proposal.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

9 Environmental Assessment and Management Before designating land for community infrastructure, an assessment must be made of: • any environmental impacts that the development or use may generate; and • ways in which those environmental impacts are being managed or mitigated.

Regard is given to natural and physical resources, as well as short and long term effects and impacts on the environment and community from both the construction and operational phase of the proposed community infrastructure. The range of matters considered includes: • soils and geology; • natural resources and hazards; • conservation and heritage values; • health, safety, amenity and social impacts; • infrastructure, traffic and transport.

These matters are considered and addressed in the following sections of this report.

9.1 Soils and Geology A geotechnical investigation has been carried out and is contained in Appendix 9. The investigation has established the nature and type of subsurface material at the site to allow engineering assessment of site classification (AS2870); foundation recommendations; earthworks and site management.

In summary, the subsurface profile at the site comprised of stiff to very stiff or better clay. A thin layer of silty sand topsoil/fill existed at the majority or boreholes. In accordance with AS2870, the site is classified as Class P.

Further recommendations and advice has been identified in the investigation and will be undertaken as appropriate by DET.

9.1.1 Erosion Risk

To minimise the risk of releasing sediment (and other contaminants) to waters during construction and to the meet the General Environmental Duty under the Environmental Protection Act 1994, a site erosion and sediment control plan (ESCP) will be prepared in accordance with the IEA Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control prior to commencing construction. The ESCP will address the erosion risks identified for the site.

The ESCP is to be implemented and monitored throughout the construction phase.

9.1.2 Acid Sulfate Soils

The proposed development area has a contour level of approximately 10m AHD.

The entire site is mapped as ‘Extremely Low Probability/Very Low Confidence’ on the Australian Soil Resource Information System’ for the potential for Acid Sulfate Soils (ASS) to be present.

Future development pursuant to the designation area will be required to ensure that an ASS investigation is carried out if the development areas has a natural ground level at or below the 5m AHD contour or if development results in:


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

• excavating or otherwise removing 100m3 or more of soil or sediment on land at or below the 5m AHD contour; or

• filling of land involving 500m3 or more of material with an average depth of 0.5 of a metre or greater at or below the 5m AHD.

9.1.3 Strategic Cropping Land

The subject site is not mapped as Strategic Cropping Land under the Regional Planning Interests Act 2014 (refer to Appendix 6).

9.2 Flora and Fauna

9.2.1 Vegetation Management Act and EPBC Act

The site has been mostly cleared for the current use as a school, however there is scattered vegetation within the site. The Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (DEHP) regulated vegetation map shows the entire site to be clear of regulated remnant vegetation (refer to Appendix 6).

The proposed development area is within a predominately cleared part of the site and will not involve clearing of existing trees or vegetation.

The Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA) Wildlife Online database indicates that 2 Vulnerable and 28 Special Least Concern plant and animal species have been recorded within a 1km radius of the site.

The Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) Protected Matters Report listed one critically endangered ecological community; five critically endangered, six endangered and nine vulnerable fauna species; one endangered and six vulnerable flora species, and a number of marine and migratory species which may be present with in a 1km radius of the site. If it is considered that development of the site may have an impact on any species protected under the EPBC Act then a referral under the EPBC Act will be required. The proposed development area is predominately clear of vegetation and is considered to unlikely support core habitat for the significant species listed under the NCA 1992 and EPBC Act 1999. Given the unlikely presence of these significant species being present within the development area, no EPBC referral would be required to the Department of Environment.

Trees and other vegetation to be removed should be confirmed and inspected for hollows and nests by a suitably qualified person prior to clearing. If hollows, nests or other potential breeding places are present, they must be assessed by a suitably qualified person to determine if they are breeding places in accordance with the NCA. If any breeding places are located within the development footprint a Species Management Plan (SMP) must be approved by DEHP prior to impacting on the breeding place. Mitigation measures such as the establishment of nest boxes (or other relevant measures) prior to tree clearing may also be required under the SMP.

Approval is required under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA) when clearing is to be undertaken within a declared area or within a remnant ecosystem, unless listed under the exemptions relating to the VMA or listed in the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009 (SPR). The site is not in a declared area and therefore, the SPR provides that clearing for community infrastructure under a designation as exempt.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

Vegetation that is not required to be cleared for the proposed development should be protected from construction impacts in accordance with the AS 4970-2009 Protection of Trees on Development Sites.

The subject site is not within a Declared Fish Habitat Area as defined under Schedule 3 of the Fisheries Regulation 2008.

9.2.2 Protected and Vulnerable Areas

The site is not mapped as ‘High Risk’ on the Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map (refer to Appendix 6).

There are no wetlands or conservation estates as defined under the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009 on or within 100 metres of the subject site (refer to Appendix 6). As the site is located within an urbanised area, it is considered unlikely that the proposed development will harm any nearby sensitive environmental areas.

9.2.3 Koala Conservation

The site is within the Priority Koala Assessable Development Area and is mapped as Medium Value Rehabilitation on the SPP and SPRP Koala Habitat mapping. The proposed development area is within the mapped Medium Value Rehabilitation for Koala. The proposed development is sited on land which is clear of trees and will not involve the removal of any non-juvenile koala habitat trees (NJHT).

A koala assessment and conservation management plan will be prepared and included as part of the environmental assessment prior to completion of the Final Assessment report for consideration to the Minister for Education and Minister for Tourism, Major Events and the Commonwealth Games.

9.2.4 Invasive Species

Under the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002, declared plant species of Queensland are classified under three (3) categories: • Class 1: By Law, landholders must keep their land free of this class of declared plant species; • Class 2: By Law, landholders must try to keep their land free of this class of pest plant, it is

illegal to possess, sell or release these species without a permit; and • Class 3: Control by landowners is not deemed to be warranted unless the plant is impacting, or

has the potential to impact, on a nearby environmentally significant area. It is an offence to sell, introduce, release or supply a Class 3 species.

The Commonwealth EPBC Protected Matter Report (Attachment E) identified 20 exotic and invasive fauna and 13 exotic and invasive flora species within 1km radius of the site.

The Multi-purpose sports hall site is located within a declared Fire Ant Biosecurity Zone 2. If a property is within a declared fire ant/crazy ant/tramp ant (Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of the Biosecurity Act 2014) Biosecurity Zone, movement restrictions and a Fire Ant Management Plan may be required for the project.

9.3 Stormwater The proposal will be constructed on land which is currently not paved and the development will increase hard stand areas. Therefore once developed the total infiltration area will increase and


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

potentially impact the existing stormwater systems within the site. The SPP requires that development should be designed and constructed to manage stormwater and waste water in a method that protects environmental values as per the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy 2009.

A SWMP has been prepared and is contained in Appendix 10.

Stormwater currently sheet flows across the site to a swale running along the southern boundary and discharges to the east of the site.

It is recommended that stormwater from the proposed main hall roof be collected and conveyed to a new combined bioretention/detention basin prior to discharge. A small section of roof will be conveyed to existing rainwater tanks located at the Redlands United Football Club.

The treated and detained water from the basin will be discharged to a new underground stormwater pipe constructed as part of the carpark development to the south of the new multipurpose hall.

The SWMP determined that the peak runoff for a 2% AEP to 1% AEP storm event during the proposed developed scenario is no greater than the existing. As such, the proposal will not create any adverse impacts to downstream properties.

In order to satisfy the requirements of the water quality objectives in accordance with State Planning Policy, a proposed bioretention basin is recommended for the treatment of stormwater runoff to remove hydrocarbons, suspended solids and nutrients prior to discharge from site. The proponent should incorporate the recommended stormwater quality treatment devices into the building design and should be further developed during the detailed design stage. Refer to Appendix 10 for stormwater treatment device details.

Future development pursuant to the designation is also required to be informed by a project stormwater management plan prior to design finalisation and construction.

9.4 Natural Hazards

9.4.1 Flooding

The site is not mapped as affected by flood hazards.

9.4.2 Bushfire

The site is not mapped as affected by bushfire hazards.

9.4.3 Landslip

The site is not mapped as affected by landslide. While the site levels vary across the site, the gradient of fall is not considered to promote landslip.

9.5 Historical and Cultural Heritage

9.5.1 Historical Heritage

The site is not located on the heritage register under the Planning Scheme. A search of the Australian Government’s Australian Heritage Places Inventory and the State Heritage Register indicated that the site is not listed on these databases.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

9.5.2 Cultural Heritage

The Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACHA) requires that a person must exercise Due Diligence and reasonable precaution before undertaking an activity which may harm Aboriginal Cultural Heritage. The ACHA – Duty of Care Guidelines (the Guidelines) was gazetted in April 2004 to provide guidance on actions required to demonstrate compliance with this Act.

Search results from the Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnership (DATSIP) cultural heritage database shows no records of indigenous cultural heritage within 1km of the school site.

The proposed development is to be located within an area subject to previous clearing, therefore, the nature of the activity is likely to be classified as ‘area previously subject to significant disturbance – Category 4’, under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003, Section 28 Duty of Care Guidelines. Subject to measures set out in paragraph 5.6-5.12, under Category 4 of the Duty of Care Guidelines, the proposed activates can proceed without further cultural heritage assessment.

It should be noted that any Aboriginal cultural heritage, if found, is protected under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 even if DEHP has not recorded it. Contract documents should include provisions for works to cease and the relevant Aboriginal Party to be contacted if evidence of Aboriginal cultural heritage is encountered during site works.

Therefore, if an Aboriginal object or evidence of archaeological or historic significance of Aboriginal occupation of an area or Aboriginal human remains are encountered in the course of undertaking an activity and there is a need to excavate, relocate, remove or harm those items/areas, the activity should immediately cease and the Aboriginal party for the area notified and their further advice sought.

9.5.3 Native Title

Native Title is likely to have been extinguished over the allotment as it is held in freehold tenure issued with a Deed of Grant (No. 40037069 & No. 40037048) however the status of Native Title will be confirmed prior to construction.

9.6 Health, Safety, Amenity and Social Impacts

9.6.1 Construction Impacts

The site is located in an established urban area and construction of the proposed development is likely to create nuisance for the neighbouring properties. Possible noise impacts on surrounding residences will need to be considered during design, construction and operation of any future development within the subject lot.

A Construction Environmental Management Plan will be prepared for the development. The plan will include at a minimum default noise standards detailed in the Environmental Protection Act 1999, dust mitigation methods, waste control and erosion and sediment control plans.

Unless otherwise approved in any development approvals and/ or statutory permits, works must comply as a minimum with default noise standard detailed in the Environmental Protection Act 1999 including: • Building work should be restricted to Monday to Saturday (excluding public holidays) between

6.30am and 6.30pm;


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

• Operation of regulated devices such as chainsaws, mulches and electrical, mechanical or pneumatic power tools should be restricted to Monday to Saturday (excluding public holidays) between 7am and 7pm; and

• Work should not be undertaken on public holidays.

9.6.2 Air Quality

Owing to the nature of the proposed use no negative air quality impacts are likely to be generated from the proposed school. Furthermore, the urbanising nature of the surrounding area means the site is not likely to be impacted upon by negative air quality.

9.6.3 Noise and Light

An Acoustic Report has been prepared (refer Appendix 11) to assess:

• Noise emissions: To neighbouring residential and commercial areas and existing school buildings and noise generated by outdoor mechanical services and activities in the Multi-purpose Hall.

• Building acoustics: Noise intrusion from existing background noise (e.g. road traffic), indoor mechanical services on the noise sensitive spaces and control of reverberation in the main hall.

Acoustic treatments have been designed following review of the schematic design plans to meet the requirements described in the document Design Standards for DETE Facilities, Section 4.9 – Acoustic Performance (Version 3.0, September 2014).

Noise levels from air conditioning plant and other mechanical plant must be selected and located to achieve the internal noise levels specified in AS2107: Acoustics – Recommended internal noise levels and reverberation times for building interiors and Design Standards for DETE Facilities, Section 4.9 – Acoustic Performance (Version 3.0, September 2014). Outdoor plant and equipment sound power levels should be selected and specified to achieve a maximum of 40dBA in adjacent habitable rooms and site boundaries (ref. Design Standards for DETE Facilities 4.12.4.1), and to comply with Council, EPA and Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy requirements.

The proposed acoustic design for the new Multi-purpose sports hall will involve construction to satisfy the DET requirements as shown in Table 1 and Table 2 of the acoustic report contained in Appendix 11. The report outlines acoustic elements which should be incorporated as part of the building façade, room absorption and interior for the new Multi-purpose sports hall. The acoustic elements to be incorporated into the design will ensure that the new facility will meet the EPA and Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy requirements.

As the proposed multi‐purpose hall will be in the same location as existing oval, the proposed development is not introducing a new noise source for activities during school hour. In addition, noise emission levels are expected to be lower, as the building largely encloses the activities, screening them from nearby residences. Therefore, additional noise mitigation measures are not considered necessary to reduce noise emissions during the daytime.

The proposal is not considered to result in the generation of adverse light. Any external lighting associated with the activity will comply with the Australian Standard AS 4282-1197 Control of the obtrusive effects of outdoor lighting.

Environmental assessment as part of future development at the site may require further assessment of potential noise and light impacts to be identified. Where environmental quality objectives are exceeded, these are to be quantified and mitigated in accordance with the recommendations from a qualified expert in the relevant field.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

9.6.4 Visual and Scenic Amenity

The site is not contained in an area of visual or scenic amenity.

9.6.5 Social Impacts

Negative impacts associated with the proposal are not anticipated, owing to the intent of the proposal to utilise the site for the purposes of a school in a transitional area.

9.7 Pollutants, Contamination and Hazardous Materials

9.7.1 Contamination

The site is not located on the Contaminated Land Register or Environmental Management Register.

Copies of searches are contained in Appendix 8.

9.7.2 Hazardous Materials

The area of the site subject to the proposed development works is located on a largely vacant area being an existing oval. The potential for hazardous materials to be exposed as the result of this development is considered unlikely, unless uncovered during groundworks.

Where hazardous materials are identified, treatment will be carried out by a suitably qualified and licensed contractor.

9.7.3 Waste

Waste that will be generated by the proposed development is to be confirmed during the planning and design stage. Appropriate waste management facilities will be included in the design along with a waste management plan if necessary.

It is unlikely that the activity will generate any regulated waste, however if any regulated waste was to be generated at the facility it would be required to be handled and disposed appropriately and in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Protection Act 1994.

9.8 Municipal Infrastructure

9.8.1 Water and Sewer

The existing Cleveland District SHS has ready access to water and sewer infrastructure and it is understood the proposed development will have appropriate connections to this infrastructure.

9.8.2 Power and Telecommunications

Electricity and telecommunication services are available to the site as existing.

9.9 Road Infrastructure, Site Access and Traffic Cleveland District SHS can be accessed from Russell Street and Smith Street. Vehicle access via Russell Street provides access to forty (40) carparking spaces, including one (1) PWD space. A secondary parking area is available to the east, providing an additional sixteen (16) carparking spaces. Vehicle access via Smith Street provides access to approximately seventeen (17) carparking spaces.


June 2017, v1.1 of 46

A bus zone is located on Smith Street to service the school population.

In addition to the parking spaces within the school site, on-street parking is also available directly fronting the site. This includes 16 parallel car parking spaces to the southern side of Russell Street, along the frontage of the school site. There are also a number of car parking spaces within the within the road reserve area of Smith Street.

With reference to the plans in Appendix 5, a new car parking area will be provided towards the southern boundary. Construction of this car park will occur separate to the development and has been designed with part of the car parking area sited in the adjoining property to the south. The new car park will have a one-way configuration and separate pick-up/ drop-off zones to ensure efficient vehicle movements and reduce potential conflicts. The future car park will provide approximately eighty-five (85) carparking spaces including the extension to those currently associated with the adjoining Redlands United Football Club.

It is re-iterated that the proposed Multi-purpose sports hall will not increase the current student enrolment numbers or teaching staff at the school. The proposal will not alter existing or incorporate any additional access or parking arrangements at the site.

It is anticipated that the existing number of on-site car parking spaces will be adequate to support the demand associated with any activities to be undertaken at new hall during out of normal school hour. Furthermore, the potential impact to the local road network likely to be generated from additional vehicular traffic as a result of the proposal would be considered negligible.

Given the above, it is considered that a traffic assessment is not required as part of this proposal.

Future development pursuant to the proposed designation may require independent assessment of traffic and infrastructure impact as part of environmental assessment of individual development projects. Where an impact is determined, DET will engage with relevant parties including Council and the Department of Transport and Main Roads to ensure that relevant local and State interests are taking into consideration as part of the development project.
