While building height is included in the Administrative definitions,
the application of this is somewhat inconsistent with buildings or
structures common to industrial land uses. As there is no reference
to building height as it applies to structures, it is assumed that
control of building height would be applied to all structures on Boral
sites (eg. silos).
Recommendation 1: The relevant building height requirements
prescribed under the respective Zone Codes be amended as follows:
- to only apply where the site adjoins residential zoned land; and
- to only apply where the building is within a fixed distance (for
example 10 metres) from the boundary of a site which contains
existing or approved residential development; and to not apply to
certain structures such as materials storage silos.
The Low Density Zone code and Low Medium Density zone code
set a maximum building height at 8.5m and a maximum number of
two stories. This represents a reduction in permissible height from
the 9m allowed in much of the Gladstone Region under existing
Schemes.
As you may be aware, other Councils in Queensland have recently
decided to raise heights to 9.5m as a means of delivering less red
tape, improved flood immunity, and to facilitate the delivery of
climatic responsive designs.

The Medium Density Residential zone code sets a height limit of
15m and three storeys (except in some limited locations identified
by the Building height and frontages overlay map). This seems low
given the emphasis on delivering infill development in the Strategic
Framework. It is recommend that the maximum height be raised to
20m (consistent with delivering well designed developments of up
to five storeys).

Extractive industry is anticipated in
the Rural zone. Building height is
represented as an Acceptable
Outcome for dwellings and rural
activities. This does not include
extractive industry which is captured
in more detail in the Extractive
industry code. In industrial areas,
the Low impact industry zone code
includes building height provisions
that address the interface with any
adjoining residential zones.

The land should be retained in the Community Facility zone and
retained for use as the future Calliope High School given the existing
local demand for a high school.
 It is unknown whether detailed plans/studies have been undertaken
regarding the appropriateness of the school site for residential
development (hazards, infrastructure, environment, drainage, traffic)
 Residents have elected to reside in Calliope on the reasonable
understanding that a future high school would be provided in
Calliope
 This is an ideal, central location for a school in Calliope. When sold,
where would the future school go when it is ultimately required?
 Calliope is identified as a high growth town, the requirement for a
high school remains and the current alternative options are also
filling quickly.
 Has a cost benefit analysis been done to demonstrate that selling the
site and transporting students elsewhere is a better option.
 Object to rezoning Lot 126 CTN 1493 from Community Use to

Concerned at the extensive blanket coverage of the Coastal Hazard
Overlay to all areas of Agnes Water, including Rural Character areas
and beyond. The broad coverage of the Coastal Hazard Overlay
places too many provisos and restrictions on development in Agnes
Water (and surrounds), and should be restricted only to properties
directly impacted by the "Coastal" environs. Other properties
beyond that area have sufficient restrictions to shape suitable
development outcomes (ie Acid Sulfate Soils provisions).

Recommendation 2: Amend the QPP recommended Section 1.7 –
‘Local Government Administrative Matters’, and through specific
mention, clarify that Mobile and Temporary crushing and screening,
concrete batching and asphalt manufacturing is an example of a
Temporary Use.
Recommended Actions
The zone allocation in
combination with setbacks and
buffers within relevant zone
codes provide appropriate
buffers and prevent
incompatible development
encroaching. In particular, the
industry buffer zone precinct in
the Limited Development zone
provides a buffer through zoning
to identified High impact and

How is compliance measured?

lot?
 PO8 – points a. to d. are the acceptable solutions.
 PO1 provides appropriate
assessment criteria to assess
hours of operations outside of
those expressed in the
Acceptable Outcome.
The Landscaping code applies where
identified in the Assessment Criteria
column in Part 5 of the Table of
Assessment. It can also apply in
impact assessable development
where the whole planning scheme is
relevant. The Landscaping code
generally applies to larger
development types such as multiple
dwellings, mixed use development,
shopping centres and some
industrial development. It can also
apply in some Reconfiguring a Lot

important element of the public

9.3.1 Development Design Code
Performance Outcome (PO) 5 of the development design code is
unclearly worded at present. It is Technical Services’ understanding
that this PO relates to the provision of fire service to community title
and body corporate developments. At present this PO states:
Development for a material change of use or reconfiguration of a lot in
areas serviced by reticulated a water supply and where part of the
development is more than 90 metres from the nearest located fire
hydrant and is accessed by common private title, are serviced with
appropriate fire hydrant infrastructure and unimpeded emergency
access.
Technical Services suggests the following alternate wording:
Development for a material change of use or reconfiguration of a lot in
areas serviced by reticulated a water supply where;
part of the development is more than 90 metres from the nearest
located fire hydrant and; is accessed by common private title,
is serviced with appropriate internal fire hydrant infrastructure and
provide unimpeded emergency access.
Technical Services also recommends that this Performance Outcome be
reviewed to ensure it is clear that all internal water supply
infrastructure for community title development is to be owned and
maintained by the body corporate. Technical Services also recommends
that this PO be reviewed to ensure it is clear that all developments
including those where they are closer than 90m to the nearest hydrant
are responsible for complying with the relevant firefighting Australian
Standards.
Revise PO5 to:
Development for a material change
of use or reconfiguration of a lot in
areas serviced by a reticulated water
supply where;
 part of the development is
more than 90 metres from
the nearest located fire
hydrant and;
 is accessed by common
private title,
is serviced with appropriate internal
fire hydrant infrastructure and
provides unimpeded emergency
access.
The current wording of PO 13 of the development design code does not
adequately address the situation where footpaths adjacent to the
development are substandard (in relation to the current standards).
Technical Services recommends the wording be reviewed and submits
the following possible wording:
Footpaths in the road reserve are provided along all road frontages and
are paved in durable and stable materials. The footpaths are to join
neatly to any adjacent existing footpaths and where compliant with
current standards be constructed from similar material.
Additionally Council's adopted Roads Hierarchy (Policy No. P-2014/31)
does not require footpaths be provided to all road types. This Road
Hierarchy Policy informs the requirements of CMDG, for Gladstone
Region. As such it is recommended that this Performance Outcome be
reworded to make reference to either the CMDG or the Roads Hierarchy
Policy (as amended).
Acceptable Outcome (AO) 13 may create confusion. The use of both
width and length in its wording may imply the entire verge is to be
converted to footpath. Technical Services recommends that either
width or length be deleted, and this terminology be consistent with
other sections of the planning scheme.
PO13 and AO13 have been reviewed
to reflect the Road Hierarchy, and
the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Hierarchy.
Revise PO5 to:
Development for a material change
of use or reconfiguration of a lot in
areas serviced by a reticulated water

Technical Services requests that AO 15 be reviewed to ensure that
development is not located inappropriately close to Council’s existing or
future sewerage pump stations and other emissive infrastructure.
Whilst PO 15 identifies that development is to “minimises potential
conflicts with ... other uses having regard to odour, dust or other
emissions” the AO does not adequately and clearly address this point.
Technical Services submits that a 100m buffer from existing and
identified future sewerage pump stations would be appropriate for
inclusion in the AO.
If greenfield development, will need
to be addressed in subdivision
design (best addressed in the
Capricornia Municipal Design
Guidelines) .

Performance Outcome 24 relates to the provision of stormwater
quality and water sensitive urban design infrastructure. Point b. of this
PO states:
Stormwater management systems:
b. must be maintained (including costs) for the life of the system
Technical Services requests this be amended to address two issues.
Firstly where the stormwater quality assets are to enter into Council
ownership it is considered onerous to expect the developer to maintain
these assets for the full life of the system. Secondly, the design of the
system should minimise ongoing maintenance costs both to reduce
costs to Council and encourage maintenance of privately owned
systems. To this end it is recommended that point b. be amended to:
b. where privately owned must be maintained (including costs) for the
life of the system
and an additional item be included stating:
e. are designed to minimise ongoing maintenance costs
PO24 has been revised for clarity.
Item b has been revised to state:

Please amend Performance Outcome and Acceptable Outcome 31 to
address internal roads for the development. As drafted these outcomes
only address external roads and not new roads created within the

the requirement for internal road design to be in accordance with the
Engineering design planning scheme policy.

This area contained within the Flood
overlay map is a direct translation of
the mapping for flood hazards
prepared by the State Government.
This identifies State interests as
reflected in the State Planning
Policy. Council is required under the
Sustainable Planning Act to reflect
these State interests in the planning
scheme. Proponents have the
opportunity to undertake flood
assessments through development
applications to demonstrate any
localised impacts from flooding.
Flood mapping in this area is likely
to be refined once Council's Baffle
Creek flood study is completed and
adopted.
Council has reviewed and amended
this criteria in response to
submission.
Regarding the Peet Vantage Estate, Kirkwood Drive, New Auckland (Lot
504 SP233801). AO7.1 which requires that habitable rooms have a
minimum flood level at least 1000mm above the DFE, is excessive &
should be reduced to 500mm of clearance.
 1000mm is considered
appropriate as it is to account for
uncertainty in estimating flood
water heights, the effects of wave
action and unforeseen variation in
local flood behaviour
Also AO9.1 requires the filling height of building footprints does not
exceed 1000mm and has batters not steeper than 1 in 6. This should
be reworded as such ‘The filling height of building footprints raised
above the surrounding ground levels for the purpose of achieving flood
immunity does not exceed 1000mm and has batters not steeper than 1
in 6.’
 PO9 and AO9.1 will be moved to
the Development Design Code to
cover the allowable fill batter
slope for all building envelopes.
 No definition is provided for 'flood hazard area'
 Flood hazard area is defined in the
State Planning Policy.
Recommended Actions
No change.
Undertake the following
amendments to the code:
 Combine PO 4 and 5
 PO1 – need to be clear
about MCU and RoL.
 AO only applies to no new
lots.
 Include editors note for site
based assessment
 AO5.2 has a separate PO
that deals with septic
 No change to AO7.1 however
Reword PO7 to:
 The floor levels of residential
uses and other sensitive uses
are raised above the DFE to
provide an allowance above the
main flood way for hydraulic
gradient, the effects of wave
action, uncertainty in estimating
flood water heights and
unforeseen variation in local
flood behaviour.
 Move this PO and AO to the
Development Design Code to
cover the allowable fill batter
slope for all building envelopes.
 No change

 PO1 is repeated in PO4 - delete.
 Duplication in PO1 and PO4 to be
revised.
 See actions for 3982588 above
 AO5.2 is good, but also needs to include a driveway connection to a
road with 5% AEP immunity to allow some means of escape.
 Access is already addressed in PO2
and PO6 and their associated
acceptable outcomes.
 No change
 A06.2 rules out short no through roads that are efficient in providing
access to additional lots. It should be re-written “Short no through
roads must be designed have a Degree of flood Hazard in a 1% AEP
flood event no greater than “medium” for a maximum length of
500m or “high” for a length of 100m in accordance with Table
8.2.7.3.3—Table to acceptable outcome. Roadways must be designed
to retain their structural integrity during this flooding. ”
 AO6.2 represents one way in
which to demonstrate compliance
with PO6. The proponent has the
opportunity to submit other
means in which to achieve
compliance with PO6.
 No change
 AO9 If a 20m wide building pad is built on a 15% slope it has a height
of 1.5m for the fill batter why limit a fill for flooding to 1m? It also
needs some wording fixed.
 Request to be actioned. AO9 is to
be included as part of AO10.2 in
relation to earthworks
 Amend code: AO9 is to be
included in as AO10.2.
 PO10 again contains the language of absolutes (use of the words:
not, any, avoid ) which is not acceptable, particularly when Council
cannot think of acceptable solutions. There will always be situations
where not complying with one of the six alphanumerical dot points is
appropriate, such as placing a road across a creek to access a
property or development. Is Council itself never going to build a road
across a creek again?
 It is considered the assessment
criteria in PO10 contain
appropriate performance
measures in which to fulfil
compliance with the purpose of
the code.
 Amend PO10 (f) to include
“substantially”
 PO10(c): is all fine for a lovely pristine well vegetated creek, but what
about an eroded weed infested waterway through a cow paddock
that could be improved by development? There are no acceptable
outcomes which would indicate not enough thought has gone into
this item. In fact AO5.2 which is a practical solution would appear to
conflict with this part of the code.
 It is considered the assessment
criteria in PO10 contain
appropriate performance
measures in which to fulfil
compliance with the purpose of
the code.
 No change
 PO10 - PO15: What is the aim of these? Surely service providers
would be smart enough to comply with these requirements in any
case. What control does Council have on Telstra? Ergon? APA?
 The intent of the provision is to
ensure development can be
serviced appropriately in response
to the identified hazard.
 No change
 Terminology in AO13.1 and Table 8.2.7.3.2 should be Recommended
Flood Immunity, not flood level.
 Flood terminology has been
amended as requested.
 Replace flood level with phrase
‘flood immunity level’ in AO13.1
and Table 8.2.7.3.2
In reading the code in its entirely
with reference to PO2/AO2 and
PO10, this issue is adequately
covered.
Amend AO5.2 to read, “For new lots
in the rural zone or rural residential
zone, a designated building
envelope, generally rectangular in
shape, having a minimum area of
1,000m2 is provided.
8.2.7 Flood Hazard Overlay Code
Within the flood hazard overlay code Acceptable Outcome 5.2 relates
to the creation of rural residential building envelopes above the DFE.
Technical Services requests this Acceptable Outcome be reviewed to
address the good design of building pads. Technical Services requests
that the following items be addressed:
• Maximum Flood Flow velocity at any formed building pad to prevent
scour of the pad (preventing risk to property)
• Access provided with a low or medium hazard rating from the
building envelope to the evacuation route.

Please review Acceptable Outcome 7.1, at present it does not address
those buildings above the DFE but less than 1000mm above the DFE.
Possible alternate wording is:
Habitable rooms have a minimum floor level at least 1000mm above
the DFE.
OR
Where involving an extension to an existing residential use that has
habitable rooms less than 1000mm above the DFE, any extension does
not exceed 25m2 GFA.

above the flood plain level with altitude between 5 - 78 mtrs above sea
level. The property has majority land which is flood free.
[email protected] 23 & 25 Jeffery Court, Agnes Water
Flooding It is acknowledged that flood mapping has indicated the
subject site is subject to potential flooding and this may elevate the
habitable floor levels for the site. It is submitted that Council should
consider elevating the maximum building height for development in
this precinct. More specifically, development in this precinct will
typically pursue basements and avoid ground water issues. The
implication of the flood mapping is the overall height of the building
and ability to achieve the 3 storey Acceptable Outcome may not
realistically be achievable when elevated flood levels are included.
Therefore, the maximum building height for the properties in the
Jeffery Court Precinct should be increased to cater for the elevated
habitable floor level so that 3 storey developments can be achieved as
per the desire of the Mixed Use Zone Code.
This area contained within the Flood
overlay map is a direct translation of
the mapping for flood hazards
prepared by the State Government.
This identifies State interests as
reflected in the State Planning
Policy. Council is required under the
Sustainable Planning Act to reflect
these State interests in the planning
scheme. Proponents have the
opportunity to undertake flood
assessments through development
applications to demonstrate any
localised impacts from flooding.
Building height within the Jeffrey
Court precinct is representative of
the intended low rise coastal
character of the locality. Therefore
additional building height for the
purposes stated, is not supported.

This plan is called the Gladstone Regional Council planning scheme. I
feel that a plan for the Gladstone Region should include the whole of
the council area. This plan seems to concentrate on the triangle of
Gladstone, Calliope, Boyne Island / Tannum Sands and Agnes Water.
There appears to be quite a bit of detailed planning going into these
areas with scant mention of the rest of the region.
Recommended Actions
Reference to how the Structure
Plans are relevant is provided in
section 3.6.2 Building it better: new

particular.
The Structure Plans provide a
conceptual direction on the land use

Back zoning
Whilst the Institute acknowledges that in some instances, cases of ‘back
zoning’ may be accidental or unintended, it is nonetheless essential that
zonings and tables of assessment be amended in the Draft Scheme prior
to adoption to eliminate back zoning.
Mapping & Zoning
The Institute requests that the GRC thoroughly reviews its mapping and
works closely with the development industry to improve the accuracy of
mapping prior to the adoption of the Draft Scheme. For example, all
overlay mapping must be tested against existing development
approvals and cadastral boundaries prior to the Draft Scheme being
finalised.

Dual Occupancy:
The following acceptable outcomes in zone codes and development
codes relating to dual occupancy are unnecessarily onerous:
- Site cover: A site cover limit of 40 per cent for dual occupancies in the
Low Density Zone is unnecessarily onerous and less than provisions in
many other planning schemes across Queensland. The Institute
recommends a maximum site cover of 60 per cent for dual occupancy in
line the Next Generation Planning (NGP) Handbook recommendations
(See http://www.dsdip.qld.gov.au/resources/guideline/ngphandbook.
pdf page 97);
- Minimum lot sizes: Imposition of an effective 800sqm minimum site
area for dual occupancy in AO4.1b of the Low Density Zone code (one
dwelling per 400m2 where a dual occupancy) will limit the
attractiveness and ability to deliver this important form of housing. The
Institute sees no reason why good planning outcomes cannot be
achieved for dual occupancy on sites of 600sqm or less. Sites of 600sqm
or less in Low Density Zones are considered acceptable outcomes in
many new planning schemes across Queensland including in
Rockhampton, Logan and others;
- Minimum lot sizes: Imposition of an effective 600sqm minimum site
area and 20m minimum frontage for dual occupancy in the LowMedium Density Zone code (one dwelling per 300sqm) will limit the
attractiveness and ability to deliver this important form of housing. The
Institute sees no reason why good planning outcomes in the LowMedium Density Zone cannot be achieved for dual occupancy on sites of
500sqm or less;
- Private open space: The Institute recommends a minimum private
open space of 30sqm with 4m minimum dimension in line with the Next
Generation Planning (NGP)Handbook recommendations. (See
http://www.dsdip.qld.gov.au/resources/guideline/ngp-handbook.pdf
page 97). Requiring 50sqm with a minimum dimension of 5.0m in any
direction is excessive;
- Setbacks: Some minimum setback requirements are more onerous
than the NGP Handbook recommendations (See
http://www.dsdip.qld.gov.au/resources/guideline/ngp-handbook.pdf
page 97); and
- Other controls: Controls relating to matters such car parking areas
(AO7 in the Low-Medium Density Zone code and AO5 in the low density
zone code) are unnecessary and may limit the saleability of dual
occupancies.
These are acceptable outcomes and
just one way of demonstrating
compliance with the relevant
performance outcome. The siting,
density and building height
provisions for dual occupancy and
multiple dwelling (townhouses) in
their relevant zones are assessment
criteria which reflect the intended
density, character and building bulk
in these zones as they apply in the
Gladstone region. The typologies
provided in the Low-medium density
zone have been architecturally
tested to demonstrate appropriate
built form, (private and communal)
open space, parking and functional
living outcomes that can be feasibly
achieved.

Medium Density Zone is unnecessarily onerous and less than provisions

recommends a maximum site cover of 70 per cent for townhouses in
line with the NGP Handbook recommendations (See
http://www.dsdip.qld.gov.au/resources/guideline/ngphandbook.
pdf page 101);
- Building heights: Building heights for townhouses are unnecessarily
restrictive (see above);
- Dwelling size: Imposition of an effective 240sqm minimum footprint
per dwelling in AO5.1 of the Low-Medium Density Zone code will limit
the attractiveness of and ability to deliver this important form of
housing. This minimum size is out of step with townhouse
developments being delivered across Queensland that have proven to
have a high level of consumer acceptance;
- Minimum lot sizes: Minimum lot sizes and frontages are unnecessary.
Planning controls relating to site cover, setbacks and private open
space are sufficient in controlling outcomes;
- Setbacks: Some minimum setback requirements are more onerous
than the NGP Handbook recommendations (See
http://www.dsdip.qld.gov.au/resources/guideline/ngp-handbook.pdf

density and building height
provisions for multiple dwelling
(townhouses) in the Low-medium
Residential density zones are
assessment criteria in which to
reflect the intended density,
character and building bulk in these
zones as they apply in the Gladstone
region. The typologies provided in
the Low-medium density residential
zone have been architecturally
tested to demonstrate appropriate
built form, (private and communal)
open space, parking and functional
living outcomes that can be feasibly
achieved.
Multiple Dwellings:
The following acceptable outcomes in zone codes and development
codes relating to multiple dwellings are unnecessarily onerous:
- Housing Mix: AO8 in the Low-Medium Density and Medium Density
Zone code requires development of 15 or more dwellings to include 25
per cent one bedroom, 40 per cent two bedroom and 15 per cent three
bedroom dwellings (with the remaining 20 per cent unrestricted). The
Institute supports the GRC’s desire to deliver a diversity of housing
supply, however diversity across the region need not require every
individual development to have diversity within it. Developers will make
commercial decisions on dwelling sizes within a development based on
what produces a viable development in that location and the demand
for product type that exists in that local area. Mandating mixes of
dwelling sizes within a multi-unit dwelling is inappropriate, unnecessary
and may impact on the commercial viability of individual developments.
If there is market demand for one, two and three bedroom apartments
across Gladstone, developers will deliver this mix, but not necessarily be
able to viably deliver it within each and every single development; and
- Communal Open Space: AO6.1 and Figure 7 in the Medium Density
Zone code require that a minimum communal open space of 20 per cent
of the site area is provided and that it has a minimum dimension of 5m
in any direction. The Institute does not believe that acceptable
outcomes regarding communal open space provisions are necessary at
all in the code and the Performance Outcome PO6 is sufficient in our
view. In any case, minimum setbacks required in the code will
necessarily result in the provision of communal open space.
Acceptable Outcome 8 in both the
Low-medium density residential and
Medium density residential zone
codes represents one way in
demonstrating compliance with
PO8. Proponents have the
opportunity to demonstrate other
ways in which a development
proposal greater than 15 dwellings
can provide a mix of housing sizes to
meet the community needs.
The siting, density and building
height provisions for a multiple
dwelling in the Low-medium density
residential and Medium density
residential zones are assessment
criteria in which to reflect the
intended density, character and
building bulk in these zones as they
apply in the Gladstone region. The

Consultation/Submission Timing
I earlier wrote the mayor strongly objecting to your failure to notify
land owners about the changes to the planning scheme. Your
community consultation programs and media campaigns while very
good, fall short of notifying land owners, the true key stakeholders that
should have every opportunity to provide a submission to the proposed
changes.
I am in the real estate industry in Agnes Water and I can assure you
many people are not aware of the proposed changes. I reject the
mayor’s response to my letter to the mayors claiming your notifications
are adequate
Considerations to be included in Strategic future vision:
 Community facilities - Men's shed, boat mooring facilities and
sailing club, RSL
 Power stations and generators (wave/ tidal)
 Expansion of piggeries and chicken keeping
 Replacement of sewerage and water mains
 Sealing of Narrows Road and Targinnie Road (widening)
QPP - 1.3.4 Zones for roads, waterways and reclaimed land
GPC has advised that some Strategic Port Land identified as surplus to
Port's needs was undesignated as SPL & by default became unzoned
land under the existing planning scheme. Due to this default, it is
recommended the adding of additional criteria to Section 1.3.4 to
cover land relinquished by regulating authorities so that a default zone
comes into play in the instance of an un-designation.
Council has conducted community
consultation in accordance with the
legislative provisions in the
Sustainable Planning Act and also
undertaken various publicity
campaigns in the print media, social
media, radio and through
community visits throughout the

2(d)
The zone does not accommodate uses
which are primarily oriented to retail sales
where not associated with trade supplies
such as retail uses which are more
appropriately located in centres, such as
shops, shopping centres and large format
retail showrooms. Some showroom uses
are well established in the Hanson Road
precinct and may continue with limited
expansion within their controlled land
parcels. Otherwise new showrooms in the
Hanson Road precinct must be associated
with automotive needs and trade supplies.
(3) The purpose of the zone will also be achieved
through the following additional overall outcomes
for particular precincts:
(a) Hanson Road precinct
i.
Development contributes to the
region’s automotive and trade
supply needs through the display
and sale of motor vehicles,
associated automotive repair and
related services and the retailing
of trade supplies
ii.
Development supports limited
expansion of existing non motor
vehicle and non trade related
showrooms where it does not
involve the loss of land being used
for industrial or industrial related
purposes and does not impact on
the viability of the region’s
centres.
PO21
Where in the Hanson Road precinct:
a) any expansion of an existing non motor

The Conversion of Hanson Road to low impact industry is a denial
of owners of existing businesses right to trade and is the denial of
customer choice as to where they choose to shop. There is no
compelling reason as to why Hanson road should not continue to
be multiple use to allow all business ventures to flourish. There is
more than adequate parking both sides as well as considerable
off Street parking. Hanson Road is also well constructed with 4
lanes and ample turning facilities. There would appear to be a
question of Council’s ethics should this proposal to change
Hanson Road to low impact industry be adopted.

Given the size of floor areas within Hanson Road much of the
tenancies within the precinct are bulky good/showrooms
with light industry dispersed within it.
Given the mix of tenancies, the precinct provides consumers
with a mix of products suitable for home construction and
renovations.
The change in zoning and level of assessment tables would
create large costs associated with MCU applications and
slowly finish a precinct which works well.
This could cause high levels of vacancies, loss of jobs and loss
of tenancies as they may be unable to pay the larger rents of
large bulky goods centres.
There was no engagement activity for local business owners
other than the UDIA meeting.

Amend the Level of Assessment for Special Purpose Zone, to reflect

Queensland State Government and becomes a private sector entity.
 Amend the Level of Assessment for the Character Residential Zone
to include a Precinct for Sunrise at 1770 in accordance with the
current Preliminary Approval and CMS.
 Dual Occupancy to be not supported within Sunrise at 1770 as this
is inconsistent with the CMS and Preliminary Approval, the current
facilities and infrastructure would not be able to handle this growth
and retaining significant vegetation would become difficult. It is
proposed that a Precinct be created within the Sunrise at 1770 area

Recommended Actions
The Extractive resources and
minerals overlay maps all Key
Resources Areas throughout the
region. The associated overlay code
and Extractive industry use code
assist in regulating impacts and
operational measures for extractive
industry activities. These extractive
industry areas are located in the
Rural zone. The Rural zone code
includes specific buffer provisions in
PO3 for sensitive uses where
triggered in the overlay. This
effectively addresses any
assessment of incompatible uses
where relevant.
Amend PO3 to be re-worded to
read, “Accommodation and
community activities do not
encroach on existing or approved
rural and extractive industry
operations or uses that may result in
an adverse impact on
amenity, health or safety.”
Suggested change will be actioned.
Amend the Level of Assessment
across all zones to:
 remove “a public sector
entity”
 replace with “if undertaken
by an electrical entity”
No change.
Council's self-assessable provisions
within the relevant referred codes
provide clear direction as to what
Council considers to be appropriate
earthworks. Only proposals that do
not comply with the self assessable
provisions are to be elevated to
code assessment. This is considered
to be reasonable.
It is acknowledged the Sunrise at
Seventeen Seventy development is
regulated through a Preliminary
approval established under section
3.1.6 of the now repealed Integrated
Planning Act. This mechanism
ensures regulatory provisions within
this Preliminary approval override or
vary the planning scheme in the
event of a conflict. This is
considered the appropriate
mechanism in which to regulate
future development within this
approval. The Sustainable Planning
Act also provides a mechanism in
which to seek a permissible change

All Zones - The level of assessment for a Multiple Dwelling within the

importance of the building typologies and the minimum frontage
requirements, it is considered that both building heights and a frontage
of 30m should be the trigger for Code Assessment in these zones. This
will help to support Councils position on this matter and emphasise the
importance of achieving Multiple Unit Dwellings with larger frontages
that result in good building/urban design.
No change.
Building height is a well recognised
threshold which has the greatest
community awareness and
sensitivity in terms of amenity
impacts on a neighbourhood. Site
area and frontage can vary because
of established lot layouts and the
relevant zone code provisions
provide assessment criteria in which
to assess their impacts.
Applicants who cannot meet these requirements will still have the
ability to lodge an application for a Multiple Unit Dwelling, however
will be required to pay higher application fees and undertake a more
rigorous and complex assessment process. This is considered a
disincentive for applicants and may aid in promoting Councils desire to
achieve good built form design within the Region. It may also help to
ensure that extensive preparation is put into unit design to meet the
built form criteria set by the Scheme.
Should the above recommendation be supported, it is considered that

It is considered unequitable and undemocratic that Council are

The Priority Infrastructure Area (PIA) included in the draft planning
scheme seems to have very little correlation with the boundaries of the
future urban growth areas identified by the Emerging Communities
zoning over the Riverstone Rise site. In addition to that trunk
infrastructure such as a new water reservoir to be located on the
Riverstone Rise site is located outside of the PIA area. The attached
draft planning scheme map illustrates this.
Considering the intent of requiring Council’s to prepare LGIP’s as part of
their new planning scheme is to ensure that land use planning is
integrated with future infrastructure planning and delivery we consider
it essential and logical that the PIA areas align with future urban areas
such as the emerging community zoned land. The fact that some of
these areas are in a single ownership is irrelevant to planning for future
trunk infrastructure.

Submission Summary
The imposition of minimum car parking rates for dwellings can
undermine the commercial viability of a site’s development and have a
material bearing on affordability.
The 2011 Census reveals that 32.9 per cent of Gladstone households
own one car or less. The proportion of households that choose to live in
a multiple dwelling that own one car or less is likely to be much higher
than this. The Institute is therefore of the view that for residential
development, Table SC6.6.2.1 ought to impose minimum parking rates
of no more than 1 car per multiple dwelling in most circumstances. Our
specific recommendations on parking rates for multiple dwellings can
be found in the Table below.
PSP UDIA (Qld) Recommendation
Multiple dwelling – 1 bedroom 1 or 1.5 1
Multiple dwelling – 2 bedroom 1.5 1
Multiple dwelling – 3+ bedroom 1.5 1.25
We are currently starved for public carparks in the city centre and the
GRC continues to approve developments that are woefully short of the
required number – e.g. the approved development of the Stockland Kin
Kora shopping centres and the redeveloped Entertainment Centre. If
this trend to giving approvals without the required number of carparks
onsite continues to occur, particularly in the city centre and the areas
referred to, the resultant higher density residential occupancy will
cause parking to become an even greater problem than it is currently.
Other cities have mitigated this problem with dedicated multi-storey
carparks. The draft plan does not address this significant issue.

SC6.3 Flood Hazard
One size doesn’t fit all with the assessment required to comply with this
section. There is a lot of information required for a flood study, the
amount of which is appropriate to a master planned community, but
excessive for a 10 lot subdivision. Council needs to identify the
requirements according to the size of the development and the
potential risks.
The number of flooding modelling runs in section SC6.3.6 Guidelines for
the preparation of a flood hazard assessment report and flood hazard
mitigation report seems excessive. Modelling of the 10%, 1% and PMF
would probably suit the needs of most development to provide a
reasonable guide, unless it was a master planned community.

The Institute notes that Planning Scheme Policy SC6.2 (Engineering
Design) refers to the ‘Capricorn Municipal Development Guidelines
(including Standard Drawings and Specifications, Construction
Specifications and Procedures, Design Specifications and Purchase

therefore recommends that these critical guidelines be publicly released
and be the subject of a separate consultation process. This consultation
process ought to involve a series of workshops with the development
industry prior to adoption of the Draft Scheme. We note that GRC
passed a resolution on the 16th of September adopting the guidelines
and resolving to undertake consultation in the manner proposed above.

The Institute is fundamentally of the view that minimum lot sizes and
minimum frontages for dwelling houses and dual occupancy dwellings
should never be imposed in residential zones and/or trigger impact
assessment. This kind of development control appears to be borne out
of a belief that it would lead to a surge in undesirable small residential
blocks. We believe this fear is unfounded because without minimum lot
size controls, market forces would guide the delivery of a mixture of lot
sizes to meet the varying demands and preferences of consumers.
If removing such controls is not palatable for GRC, the Institute
recommends lowering the lot size requirements in Table 9.3.6.3.2 as
follows:
- Low Density Residential Zone minimum lot size to be reduced to
400sqm (rather than
600sqm or 800sqm). Gladstone requirements are more onerous than
many other new Schemes across Queensland (for example, Townsville
applies a minimum of 400sqm and Logan a minimum of 350sqm in
most precincts, with no minimum size in its small lot precincts);
- Low to Medium Density and Medium Density residential zone
minimum lot sizes to be reduced to 300sqm (rather than 400sqm).
Small lot product below 400sqm is far more attractive for many
purchasers and their financiers than similar priced duplexes or unit

having an appropriate road reserve dedicated as soon as practical’.
Council has made budget provision in the current financial year for
further investigative work.
Council’s policy determination of 18 January 2011 in relation to the
southern corridor links represent a substantial planning strategy and it
is considered that this should be clearly articulated in the planning
scheme through the strategic framework.
As the scheme is presently drafted, mapping for the theme ‘Our rural
and coastal townships and places’ shows 'proposed roads' between
Turkey Beach and Agnes Water and Agnes Water and Baffle Creek. The
text of the theme does not give a policy context to these proposed
roads.

It is considered that the most appropriate way to reflect the policy is

It is proposed that the mapping for this theme be amended to

and protect their potential corridors from inappropriate development.
Suggested amendments are –
1 Amend the map to ‘s3.5 – Connecting our places’ to incorporate the
two southern corridors and change the legend to refer to each the
roads as ‘potential link roads’ rather than ‘potential road extension’ to
more accurately define their intent.
2 Add the following to the element ‘connecting people and places’ in

Lot 5 RP 612151. Current Approval for ROL 1 lot into 17 lots
(DA/41854/2007) zoned Commercial Services. It is noted that this
was approved as part of a Consent Order. An Operational Works
Development Application has also been lodged (OPW/595/2014).
Proposed zoning is Rural Residential Zone.
Given the size of lots will be 2,000m2 it is best suited for Low
Impact Industry given its proximity to Corfield Drive.
The approval is fitting with the amenity of the proposed Low
Impact Industry Zone.
By including Dwelling Houses as permitted by the Rural Residential
Zone this would encourage sensitive land uses near an industry
zone. This is a poor planning outcome due to the associated
impacts for which industry brings.
Lot 1 SP 197935 and Lot 2 SP 197935 are recommended for
Neighbourhood Centre Zone.
Lot 1 has endured long term retail tenancies within each and have
grown in GFA size since the late 1990s. Due to the proximity away
from the town centre the shops afford a cheaper rent as opposed
to those within the Agnes Water centre.
The proposed Rural Residential Zone does not take into account
the long term retail land uses on site.
Given the Rural Residential Zone only permits non-residential uses
for day to day needs, this would sterilise the development potential
for both sites for further commercial growth.
Allowing a small centre within this location would alleviate vehicle
trips into the Agnes Water township.
Gecko Valley Winery (Lot 2 RP 600777):
Allow for slow progressive urban development along the South East
of the site near the Bukkan Road Reserve in step with demand.
Allow for environmental, cultural or community portions of the
land to be leased to Council to create improved tourism
opportunities.
Horse related industries are
appropriate in the Rural zone which
occurs throughout the fringe of the
Calliope urban locality.
Council does not zone land based on
retrospective approvals. Once plan
sealing occurs, the appropriate zone
will be allocated. This can be
captured in future amendments to
the planning scheme.
Council undertook a comprehensive
structure planning process for Agnes
Water which, through a detailed
assessment of future projected
population growth, housing demand
and commercial land requirements,
resulted in a clearly defined urban
footprint. This urban footprint which
can adequately accommodate
future population growth and their
associated needs for services and
facilities.
The structure planning work
identified an oversupply of
commercial land on the fringe of the
Agnes Water urban area that has
never been extensively developed
for traditional commercial purposes.
The Bicentennial Drive Enterprise
precinct provides the opportunity
for some low impact business,
tourism and creative enterprises
that cannot be located within the
Agnes Water town centre.
It is also noted existing lawful land
use rights are protected under the
Sustainable Planning Act.
Council have undertaken numerous
background studies that have
concluded the expansion of urban
land beyond urban zones is not
required to support projected
population and housing growth over
the life of the planning scheme.
Lot 5 RP 612151 remains as Rural
Residential until such time that plan
sealing occurs.

Reconsider rezoning 33 Balfour Street, Mt Larcom to Township
Zone and not Rural. The lot has a bitumen sealed road, kerb and

proximity to the Mt Larcom Township and is adjacent land within
the proposed Township Zone it is considered the lot be rezoned.
That 17 Dougall Street, Bororen (previous Anglican Church) be
rezoned to Township Zone. The previous church has not been used
for a Place of Worship for many years and is considered
abandoned. Given this it is considered that the site could be used
for other purposes and should be zoned accordingly.
Reconsider rezoning Balfour Street, Mt Larcom to Township Zone
and not Rural. The lot has a bitumen sealed road, kerb and channel
and reticulated water. Given the lot is within close proximity to the
Mt Larcom Township and is adjacent land within the proposed

It is proposed that 55 Tannum Sands Road be rezoned to Mixed
Use. This zoning reflects the location of the site close to the current
Tannum Sands Business Centre and also reflect the current Aged
Care Approval over 75 Tannum Sands Road.
Vacant Lot 207 SP 135461 is currently zoned Medium Density
Residential under the current scheme and Low Medium Density
within the proposed scheme.
This is considered unacceptable as this reduces building heights
from 11m to 8.5m and removes any ability to develop a resort style
development as previously approved.
It is proposed that the lot be rezoned to Centre Zone.
This is a natural progression of commercial development within the
Agnes Water township for which this type of available land is
currently limited, the infrastructure required for such a zone is
readily available and there is ample land for further residential
development which is further away from the current CBD area.
Whilst Sunrise at 1770 is within the Special Character Residential
Zoning we believe that a Precinct should be created to differ from
1770.
The Precinct would include additional development controls with
respect to maintaining design, amenity and character.
Current inconsistencies include the following:
o Building heights being 8.5m however 9m within the current
Consent Order;
o Front setbacks being 6m however 4m within the current
Consent Order;
o If proposing Dual Occupancies why do these need to be 6m

The Township Zoning will allow for the protection and logical
evolution of the approved uses on site.
The Township Zoning will encourage and enhance economic
development by supporting tourist activities which are a major
industry within the region.
Uses reasonably expected within the Township Zone will be
consistent with the existing residential uses in the directly adjoining
properties.
The creation of a Township in this location will not detract from the
ongoing viability of other townships in the region.
It is recommended that the zoning for 43 Bicentennial Drive, Agnes
Water be amended from Rural Residential to Specialised Centre
Zone.
The amendment of such a zone would reflect the current land uses
within the area, the zone would promote a greater range of land
uses than currently within the proposed Precinct.
It is considered that a maximum GFA of 250m2 for Trade Supplies is
too small and limits the ability to greater larger retail opportunities.
Lots 1 and 2 RP 615087 (French Street, Gladstone) was previously
approved for 17,000m2 of total retail including showrooms,
convenient centre, tavern/bottle shop, fast food outlet, service
station and freestanding family restaurant during 1997.
A smaller development (DA/2397/99) was approved with a total
GFA of 12,055m2 in 1999 and lapsed in 2004.
It is proposed that this site be zoned Specialised Centre Zone given
the history of the site and its location within a well-established
urban area. Whilst the site is constrained by drainage and flood
issues, large format retail is a suitable option for this site given its
ability to adapt to these constraints
It is considered that the site is appropriately serviced by water and
sewer infrastructure, would be of a scale, size and character
prescribed by the current Specialised Centre Zone Code and would
complement the existing residential area.
The Limited Development Zoning of the current QAL site is
supported in principal however, the zone should reflect the existing
industrial uses and their functions.
The current Limited Development Zone Code implies that land
within this zone is only prone to flood natural hazard and not
intended for buffer purposes between heavy industry and sensitive

 The land is included in the
Bicentennial Drive Enterprise
precinct which supports a range of

developed through the Agnes
Water / 1770 structure planning
project. Its role is to not function
as a traditional centre in order to
maintain the primacy of the Agnes
Water town centre. The suite of
uses and gross floor area
requirements fulfil these
objectives.

 Lot 16 RP 619904, Lot 37-38 CTN 879 and Lot 305 CL 40220 include
natural features which should be retained and included within the
Rural Zone.
 The QAL Disposal Dams (Handley Drive, Boyne Island) are part of a
singular enterprise even though they are contained within separate
discrete precincts. If the Limited Development Zone is to be applied
to the periphery areas than the following needs to be considered:
o Lower Level of assessment tables for MCU and OPW similar
to that of the Rural Zone;
o Should Operational Works be in association to
Environmental Authority for a waste disposal related ERA
than the works are exempt; or
o Providing that compliance with the conditions of an
Environmentally Relevant Authority for a waste disposal
related ERA is sufficient to comply with the Self-Assessable
provisions of the relevant codes.
 Lot 36 CTN 17 and Lot 42 CTN 1904 include several natural features
and should be included within the Rural Zone.
 It is noted that Operational Works associated with a Material
Change of Use of Premises are triggered as a separate
Development Application which require fees whereas under the
current Planning Scheme this is not the case.
 It is recommended that Lot 3 RP 608907 (Reef City Motors) be
zoned as Specialised Centre Zone. This zone accommodates vehicle
sale yards whilst providing for other compatible uses. The zoning
allows for redevelopment within the area which is more compatible
with nearby residential areas. Such redevelopment could involve
integrated development outcomes leading to less access points
onto French Street.
 The rezoning could provide an appropriate transition from the
Industry to the East to the residential land nearby and also act as a
buffer between QAL.

restaurants, hotels, nightclub or entertainment facilities
b. Acoustic screening on balconies that face restaurants, hotels,
nightclub or entertainment facilities
 The owners of the Reef Hotel (38 Goondoon Street), a previous 
approval for a high rise apartment block, Curtis Apartments)
was never conditioned to provide soundproofing or double
glazed glass and as such there is substantial issues between
each use.
 Since then issues between the Reef Hotel and Liquor Licensing
have become apparent which has resulted in a net loss for the
company.
 As such we recommend changes to the Principal Centre Zone
as per those by Natalie Katona (see above response).

Lot 114/115 Sunrise @ 1770
It is unreasonable and wholly unfair to change the rules so as not in
future to allow existing owners and future purchasers of ALL blocks
within Sunrise to build on those blocks provided they comply with the
terms of the Building Development code contained within the Sunrise
CMS.

includes adequate amenity
provisions in PO4, PO10, PO24,
PO25, PO26 and PO37. These
provisions provide appropriate
assessment criteria including
noise attenuation measures in
which to minimise land use
conflict and ensure a level of
amenity commensurate with
that of a highly urbanised city
centre.
It is considered that the Character

It is requested that Lot 1 and 2 RP 818073 be changed to Emerging
Communities and Minor Tourism to allow aspirational and
community expectations for future development opportunities.
Rules Beach has plenty of opportunity as by recent approvals to
expand and grow into a small township.
Character Residential Zone PO9-AO9.3 states that cut and fill
cannot exceed -1.2m or +1.2m. Is this to only impact landscaping or
is this cut and fill across the entire site?
 The landowner has plans to undertaken substantial cut within the
site to create a stable slab for vehicle parking. Should this provision
be included this would substantially detriment this project and
possibly lessen the land value.
 We are supportive of the Character Overlay and what the code is
seeking to achieve.

6.2.2 Low–medium density residential
In Sc2, (page 439) of the Agnes Water & Seventeen Seventy Structure
Plan, the area from Surf Club Avenue through to the Agnes Water
shopping area was shown as being zoned Low-Medium Density
Residential (I noted this on a hard copy of the planning document in the
Agnes Water library and was not able to find this on-line).

Residents in the 'Beaches of 1770 Estate' and the 'Waterfront Estate'
(the area from the southern side of Hoskins Way/North Break Drive to
the southern side of Sunset Drive in Agnes Water) made a detailed
submission to Council (this submission should in Council's records) early
in the process that this area should be zoned Low Density Residential.
The main reasons for this is that both Estates were specifically
developed for single detached residential dwellings and that the road
width does not support Medium Density Residential zoning. Our
submission was accepted by Council during the first community
consultation and we were assured that both the Beaches Estate and
approval override or vary the
planning scheme in the event of a
conflict. This is considered the
appropriate mechanism in which to
regulate future development within
this approval. The Sustainable
Planning Act also provides a
mechanism in which to seek a
permissible change to the
development approval.
Council has undertaken a detailed
assessment of population
projections and housing supply
needs which has concluded there is
ample land within existing urban
areas to support projected growth
over the life of the planning
scheme. The Rural zone offers
tourism uses commensurate with
rural amenity and character.
Substantial cut and fill is not
appropriate within this location and
within land on steep slopes. The
provisions associated with PO9
apply to development.
It is considered the provisions in
Rural zone provide adequate clarity
on the regulatory requirements for
tourism related uses in keeping
with rural amenity and character.
The proposed low-medium density
zone code only supports low-rise
development, with an acceptable
outcome for maximum height of
8.5m/2 storeys (the same as
provided for in the low density
zone). Council has taken this land
from a Medium Density zone in the
current scheme to a low-medium
density zone.

the Waterfront Estate would be zoned Low Density Residential.
In the interim between the 'Old' and 'New' Planning Schemes, a tall 3
apartment block has recently been built in the Waterfront Estate, and
this has already adversely detracted from the amenity and character of
the Estate.

I specifically request that in accordance with Council's previous
agreement to residents that the area encompassing the two Estates
mentioned above be zoned Low Density Residential.
[email protected] 6.2.21 Mixed use
23 & 25 Jeffery Court, Agnes Water
PO39
Development provides a mix of housing sizes to meet housing needs
across the community.
AO39
 Development of 15 or more dwellings includes a proportion of
bedrooms. This intent is not disputed, but we are concerned that
Council is prepared to impose an Acceptable proportion of one, two
and three bedroom units. By dictating the preferred mix does not
allow a development to respond to the housing need of the
community. It is therefore put to Council that PO39 and AO39
should be deleted from the Planning Scheme.
 Building Setbacks: It is noted that Council has decided to increase
building setbacks under the draft Scheme. These setbacks are
considered to be akin to a typical residential development. In this
instance Council is intending for the land in Jeffery Court to be
developed for more dense tourist related development. On this
basis, it is submitted the Jeffery Court Precinct could accommodate
reduced setbacks to that proposed. Approved development for this
site accommodates setbacks of: Front – 0.5m to 1.4m at podium
Side – 1.0m to 3.7m (to the building) Rear – 1.0m It is submitted
the existing Development Approval demonstrates that a suitable
built form, streetscape appearance and density can be achieved on
the site with reduced setbacks. It should also be noted the setbacks
being proposed and the depth of the lots in Jeffery Court would
limit the depth of buildings to 14m. Pursuing significant setbacks
could affect the ability to provide good quality built forms that
contribute to the streetscape. It is also submitted that higher
densities should be sought in the Jeffery Court Precinct given the
proximity of this land to the Agnes Water Town Centre.

Acceptable Outcome 39
represents one way in
demonstrating compliance with
PO39. Proponents have the
opportunity to demonstrate
other ways in which a
development proposal greater
than 15 dwellings can provide a
mix of housing sizes to meet the
community needs.

The setback in the building
typologies are acceptable
outcomes which are one way of
demonstrating compliance with
the relevant performance
outcome. The siting, density and
building height provisions reflect
the intended density, character
and building bulk in these zones
as they apply in the Gladstone
region. The typologies provided
have been architecturally tested
to demonstrate appropriate built
form and street interface
outcomes amongst other things.
