6.2.19.1 Application

This code applies to assessable development:-

(a) within the Rural zone as identified on the zoning maps contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and

(b) identified as requiring assessment against the Rural zone code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).

6.2.19.2 Purpose and overall outcomes

(1) The purpose of the Rural zone code is to provide for a wide range of rural activities and a limited range of non-rural activities which complement, value add or providea service to rural areas.

Activities in rural areas maintain and enhance the character, visual amenity and rural production capability of the area.

(2) The purpose of the Rural zone code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:-

Overall Outcomes(a) development provides for a wide range of rural activities including animal

husbandry, aquaculture, cropping, intensive horticulture, roadside stalls, ruralindustries, wholesale nurseries and wineries;

N/A

(b) more intensive rural activities including animal keeping, intensive animalindustry and extractive industry may also be established in the zone providedthat adverse environmental and amenity impacts are avoided or appropriatelymanaged;

ü A number of measures will be implemented to minimise andmanage potential environmental impacts, as detailed within theEnvironmental Management Plan (EMP) (refer Attachment 5 –Environmental Management Plan*). The managementmeasures will ensure that the proposed operation meets therequired environmental objectives, which will be conditioned aspart of an EA and regulated by The Department of Environmentand Heritage Protection (EHP). The potential for impacts fromthe operation on sensitive receivers is expected to be low,given the considerable distance to the nearest sensitivereceptors towards the east (approximately 1.2 kilometres) and

* Note: All attachments and figures referred to in this documentare the attachments and figures of the Planning AssessmentReport.

(c) permanent residential accommodation is limited to dwelling houses on existinglots. Temporary residential accommodation which complements rural uses andpromotes the sustainable use of rural land or the appreciation of the naturalenvironment may also be established in the zone;

ü The proposed caretaker’s accommodation is an ancillary partof the proposed quarry extension and will only remain on thesite for the life of the operation. In this regard, the proposedcaretaker’s accommodation is considered to be ancillary to theproposed extractive industry, which is a consistent use in theRural zone.

(d) home based business may be established in the zone where the nature, scaleand intensity of the activity is compatible with the character and amenity of thesurrounding locality;

N/A

(e) other non-rural activities that are compatible with a rural setting and supportrural enterprise or tourism are also encouraged where they do not compromisethe use of the land for rural activities;

N/A

(f) non-rural activities are located, designed and operated to minimise conflictswith existing and future rural activities on surrounding rural lands and avoidsignificant effects on rural amenity including through adverse noise or trafficgeneration;

N/A Note: extractive industry is identified in Overall Outcome (b) asan ‘intensive rural activity’.

(g) intensive rural activities are not located adjacent to sensitive land uses, andare designed and operated to maintain the rural character and amenity of thezone;

ü The proposed operation is well separated from the closestsensitive receptors, being the residential uses to the east of thesite, by approximately 1.2 kilometres of pine plantation and theremnant vegetation corridors along the drainage features.Nevertheless, the operation will be managed so as to minimiseany potential for adverse impact on these sensitive land uses,in accordance with the EMP (refer Attachment 5 –Environmental Management Plan).

(h) existing community title settlements established in the zone, such as CrystalWaters Eco-village, continue to provide for self-contained or semi-self-contained community living based on sustainability principles. Thesesettlements are generally not expanded other than to provide for ancillary and

(j) development does not alienate or fragment agricultural land class A and classB, strategic cropping land (SCL) or potential SCL unless:-

(i) there is an overriding need for the development in terms of publicbenefit; and

(ii) no other site is suitable for the particular purpose;

N/A

(k) development protects other natural resources, including extractive resources,and ensures such resources remain available for use;

ü The site is recognised as a local and State significant resource.The proposed operation will contribute to the regional economyby capitalising upon the availability of the identified resource onthe site.

(l) the built form of development integrates with and complements thepredominant rural character intended for the zone and sensitively responds tothe environmental and topographic features of the landscape;

ü The proposed development will be screened at ground levelfrom all directions by the surrounding pine plantation and theremnant vegetation corridors along the drainage features,including Beerburrum-Woodford Road to the north andresidential uses approximately 1.2 kilometres to the east of thesite. In addition, the proposed extraction will be carried oututilising the ‘receding rim’ method, whereby the extractionprogresses in a top-down approach to maintain topographicalshielding between the operation and surrounding areas.Retaining the high ground will maximise the degree oftopographical shielding from surrounding uses.

(m) development is located, designed and operated to be responsive to theSunshine Coast’s sub-tropical character and minimises the consumption ofenergy and water;

ü The site will not be connected to reticulated water. Potablewater will be brought onto the site as required.

Water for extractive operations will be initially sourced from thecurrent runoff water catchment area in the south-westerncorner of the site, which will be enlarged to double as a waterstorage and water catchment device. As extraction takes place,

a sump will also be maintained in the quarry pit, to ensure thatthe active quarry faces are dewatered. The sump will alsoprovide water supply for dust control and processing activities.

(n) development maintains and enhances the significant scenic and landscapevalues of the area;

ü The proposed development will be screened at ground levelfrom all directions by the surrounding pine plantation and theremnant vegetation corridors along the drainage features,including from Beerburrum-Woodford Road to the north andresidential uses, which are located approximately 1.2kilometres to the east of the site. In addition, the proposedextraction will be carried out utilising the ‘receding rim’ method,whereby the extraction progresses in a top-down approach tomaintain topographic shielding between the operation andsurrounding areas. Retaining the high ground will maximise thedegree of topographical shielding from surrounding uses.

(o) development protects and provides for regional recreational trails through thededication of land or public easement where required to maintain the integrityand connectedness of the trail corridor;

N/A

(p) development does not adversely impact upon the functional integrity of theregional inter-urban break and sub-regional inter-urban breaks that provideseparation between urban areas and reinforces the individual sense of identityof places and communities;

ü The intent of the ‘Regional Inter-urban Break’ is to maintain thenatural and rural landscape, and avoid urban or ruralresidential encroachment. The proposed operation is a not anurban or rural residential development, and the proposedcaretaker’s accommodation has been confirmed as an ancillaryuse to operation. Therefore, the proposed operation isconsidered to be consistent with this overall outcome.

(q) development avoids as far as practicable, or where avoidance is notpracticable, minimises and otherwise mitigates, adverse impacts onecologically important areas, including creeks, gullies, waterways, wetlands,coastal areas, habitats and vegetation through sensitive location, design,operation and management;

ü The Ecological Assessment prepared by BAAM concludes that‘ecological important areas’ would include all vegetationmapped as remnant vegetation on State mapping, confirmedKoala habitat areas, and the waterways present (referAttachment 8 – Ecological Assessment).

The mapped ‘native vegetation area’ aligns directly with statemapped regulated vegetation, which is exempt under theVegetation Management Act 1999 due to being located in Stateforest (pine Plantation). Koala habitat areas are not specificallymapped under the Planning Scheme, so it is expected thatthese values would be defined by the State’s mapping.

Comments

The Ecological Assessment determines that, due to the lowdensities of Koala in the area, and the limited access andmovement opportunities to and on the site, the proposeddevelopment is not likely to have a notable impact on theKoala.

(r) development is designed and sited to sensitively respond to the physicalcharacteristics and constraints of land, including flooding, steep land, landslidehazard and bushfire hazard, where applicable;

ü Land and Environment Consultants were commissioned toprepare a Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan(BMP) in response to the bushfire hazard overlay mappingwhich exists over the site (refer Attachment 9 – BushfireManagement Plan). The BMP informed the location ofbuildings and structures during the design stage of the project,and provides measures to be implemented to manage/mitigatebushfire hazard for the operation.

(s) development provides for infrastructure and services that are commensuratewith the nature and scale of development that is expected to occur in the area;

ü The proposed development will not be connected to reticulatedwater, sewerage or stormwater reticulated networks.

Waste will be segregated and stored within various skip bins orappropriate containers and placed neatly within a designatedarea, until they are re-used on the site, or alternativelycollected by a licensed contractor for disposal/recycling off-site.

A Traffic and Pavement Impact Assessment has beenprepared for the proposal by MRCagney Traffic Engineers anddeals with pavement impacts and potential intersection impacts(refer Attachment 6 – Traffic and Pavement ImpactAssessment).

The assessment confirms that the proposed operation is ableto operate safely, provided the recommended intersectionworks are carried out to the site access with Woodford-Beerburrum Road.

and ecological integrity andbiodiversity of ecologically importantareas through protection andretention of:-(a) existing terrestrial habitat areas;

and(b) existing riparian, waterway and

wetland habitat areas.

AO1.1

Ecologically important areas are retainedin-situ and are conserved or rehabilitatedto ensure their ongoing contribution to:-(a) the natural resources and biological

diversity of the Sunshine Coast; and(b) the achievement of the water quality

objectives for the applicable naturalwater catchment3.

Development within an ecologicallyimportant area does not increase thedimensions of the existing developmentfootprint or the existing level of intensityof the development.

PO The Ecological Assessment prepared by BAAMconcludes that ‘ecological important areas’ wouldinclude all vegetation mapped as remnantvegetation on State mapping, confirmed Koalahabitat areas, and the waterways present (referAttachment 8 – Ecological Assessment).

Clearing of mapped ‘native vegetation area’ cannotpracticably be avoided and therefore is addressedin PO3 below.

The Ecological Assessment conducts a review ofendangered, vulnerable and special least concern(EVSLC) wildlife for the site and confirms that theonly potential species that requires assessmentagainst the significant residual impact (SRI) criteriais the Koala.

Whilst the site survey conducted by BAAMestablished that the site supports a large numberof Koala habitat trees, it was also confirmed thatno Koalas were observed during the fieldinvestigation and also that no evidence of Koalapresence (scats, scratches) were recorded. TheEcological Assessment also confirms that a lownumber of Koala records (2 in total) have been

recorded within five (5) kilometres of the site since1980. BAAM concluded that based on the dataavailable and the site survey undertaken, it can bereasonably concluded that Koala densities arevery low at this location. It was noted that accessand movement opportunities for the species withinthe local landscape are severely restricted by thelarge expanse of pine plantation surrounding thesite, as well as by the dense understory foundacross a major part of the site.

Based on the assessment provided and theparticular circumstances of the site, it wasconfirmed that the proposed extractive industryoperation would not:

· lead to a long-term decrease in the sizeof a local population of the species;

· reduce the extent of occurrence of thespecies; or

· interfere with the recovery of the speciesor cause disruption to ecologicallysignificant locations (breeding, feeding,nesting, migration or resting sites) of thespecies.

The location of the site was also confirmed as notfragmenting an existing population or contributingtowards genetically distinct populations forming asa result of habitat isolation.

The Ecological Assessment conclusivelydetermines that the proposed extractive industryoperation will not lead to a SRI on EVSLC wildlife,in particular the Koala.

In regards to waterways, the operation will

PO Whilst the site survey conducted by BAAMestablished that the site supports a large numberof Koala habitat trees, it was also confirmed thatno Koalas were observed during the fieldinvestigation and also that no evidence of Koalapresence (scats, scratches) were recorded.

The Ecological Assessment also confirms that alow number of Koala records (2 in total) have beenrecorded within five (5) kilometres of the site since

1980. BAAM concluded that based on the dataavailable and the site survey undertaken, it can bereasonably concluded that Koala densities arevery low at this location. It was noted that accessand movement opportunities for the species withinthe local landscape are severely restricted by thelarge expanse of pine plantation surrounding thesite, as well as by the dense understory foundacross a major part of the site.

Due to the lack of koala occurrence on the site, itis considered that the site does not comprise‘koala habitat area’.

Furthermore, based on the assessment providedand the particular circumstances of the site, it wasconfirmed that the proposed extractive industryoperation would not:

· lead to a long-term decrease in the sizeof a local population of the species;

· reduce the extent of occurrence of thespecies; or

· interfere with the recovery of the speciesor cause disruption to ecologicallysignificant locations (breeding, feeding,nesting, migration or resting sites) of thespecies.

The location of the site was also confirmed as notfragmenting an existing population or contributingtowards genetically distinct populations forming asa result of habitat isolation.

The Ecological Assessment conclusivelydetermines that the proposed extractive industryoperation will not lead to a notable impact on theKoala.

(a) development provides landscapes that retain, as far as practicable, existing vegetation and topographic features for their biodiversity, ecological, wildlife habitat,recreational, aesthetic and cultural values;

(b) development provides landscapes that create new landscape environments that co-ordinate and complement the natural elements of climate, vegetation,drainage, aspect, landform and soils;

(c) development provides landscapes that complement the vegetation mix of the original regional ecosystem of the site, where practicable, in order to protect andenhance native flora and fauna and encourage ecological connectivity;

(d) development provides landscapes that rehabilitate areas of poor environmental quality and provide mechanisms for long term protection of works;

(e) development provides landscapes that successfully integrate the built form with the local urban landscape character, contribute to the local streetscape, enhancethe sub-tropical qualities of the Sunshine Coast and mitigate the impact of increased urbanisation;

(f) development provides landscapes that minimise the consumption of energy and water, and encourage the use of local native plant species and landscapematerials, where practicable;

(g) development provides landscapes that enhance personal safety and security;

9.4.3.1 Application

This code applies to assessable development identified as requiring assessment against the Nuisance code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).

9.4.3.2 Purpose and overall outcomes

(1) The purpose of the Nuisance code is to maintain community wellbeing and protect environmental values by preventing or mitigating:-

(a) nuisance emissions from development adversely impacting on surrounding sensitive land uses; and

(b) the exposure of proposed sensitive land uses to nuisance emissions from surrounding development.

(2) The purpose of the Nuisance code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:-

(a) development is located, designed, constructed and operated to maintain appropriate levels of amenity and environmental performance by:-

(i) not imposing unacceptable noise, light, glare, dust or odour emissions on surrounding sensitive land uses; and(ii) ensuring that proposed sensitive land uses are not subject to unacceptable nuisance emissions generated from surrounding development; and

Acoustic Amenity and Noise28

Note—this performance outcome applieseven if noise emissions are generated bysensitive land uses, from sources such ascommunal areas, service areas, plant andequipment (e.g. air conditioning units) andthe like.

AO1 Development does not involve activitiesthat would cause noise relatedenvironmental harm or nuisance.

Development ensures noise does notemanate from the site through site layout,design, construction, and operation.

PO Extractive industry being an EnvironmentallyRelevant Activity (ERA) is regulated by EHP underthe Environmental Protection Act 1994. EHPregulate and administer the extractive industrythrough the EA which will contain conditionsregarding noise emissions. As such, Council hassecurity that potential environmental nuisance isregulated by the State.

The proposed extension to the operation is wellseparated from the nearest sensitive receptors,being the residential uses to the east of the site,by approximately 1.2 kilometres of pine plantationand the remnant vegetation corridors along thedrainage features. The areas to the north, westand south of the proposed operation alsocomprise extensive areas of State forest. As such,any potential for noise impacts from the proposedoperation is expected to be low.

Nevertheless, the proposed operation has beendesigned to ensure that extraction progresses in atop-down approach, to maintain local high groundbetween the noise generating activities andsurrounding areas. The purpose of retaining thehigh ground is to maximise the degree ofbeneficial acoustical shielding provided to theseresidences (in addition to the visual amenitybenefits). Where possible, the mobile and/or fixed

(b) performance outcome PO4 applies only to development involving the erection of a new building exceeding 5 storeys in height for a use or uses in the residential activity group, business activitygroup or community activity group;

(c) the Sustainable design code identifies only a limited range of sustainable design criteria. Development on the Sunshine Coast is encouraged to strive to achieve the highest practicable scoreusing an accredited sustainability rating system (i.e. Greenstar);

(d) development that achieves a minimum 4 star score using the Greenstar rating system is deemed to have complied with the Sustainable design code; and

(e) Council may use its discretion to determine that part or all of the Sustainable design code should not apply to a particular development where compliance with the Sustainable design codewould be unreasonable because of the small scale or nature of a particular development.

9.4.7.2 Purpose and overall outcomes

(1) The purpose of the Sustainable design code is to ensure development meets best practice sustainability principles.

(2) The purpose of the Sustainable design code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:-

(a) development is located, designed, constructed and operated in accordance with best practice subtropical and sustainable design principles in order to:-

(i) take advantage of local climatic and environmental conditions;(ii) optimise energy efficiency;(iii) minimise reliance on non-renewable energy sources; and(iv) facilitate and promote alternative energy supply through the use of renewable energy sources.

33 Editor’s note—the Queensland Development Code also identifies sustainability requirements for certain development. Where there is a conflict between the Sustainable design code and the Queensland Development Code,the Queensland Development Code prevails.

9.4.8.1 Application

This code applies to self assessable and assessable development identified as requiring assessment against the Transport and parking code by the tables of assessment inPart 5 (Tables of assessment).

Note—self assessable development within an existing building need only comply with Acceptable Outcome AO3.1 of Table 9.4.8.3.1 (Criteria for self assessable and assessable development).

9.4.8.2 Purpose and overall outcomes

(1) The purpose of the Transport and parking code is to ensure that transport infrastructure including pathways, public transport infrastructure, roads, parking and serviceareas, are provided in a manner which meets the needs of the development, whilst promoting active and public transport use and preserving the character and amenityof the Sunshine Coast.

(2) The purpose of the Transport and parking code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:-

(a) development is consistent with the objectives of the strategic transport network, which are to:-

(i) provide for a highly permeable and integrated movement network;(ii) improve coordination between land use and transport so as to maximise the potential for walking, cycling and public transport use and reduce reliance on

private motor vehicle travel;(iii) achieve acceptable levels of access, convenience, efficiency and legibility for all transport users, with the needs of pedestrians considered in the first

instance, then cyclists, public transport and then motorists;(iv) preserve the amenity of sensitive land uses;(v) limit road construction to the minimum necessary to meet the endorsed levels of service for ultimate development of the Sunshine Coast; and(vi) provide for staging of Council’s limited trunk road construction program to maximise sustainability;

(b) the environmental, economic and social impacts of transport on the natural and urban environment are minimised;

(c) transport infrastructure is designed and constructed to acceptable standards and operates in a safe and efficient manner that meets community expectations,prevents unacceptable off-site impacts and reduces whole of life cycle costs, including reduced ongoing maintenance costs;

(d) development provides for on-site parking, access, circulation and servicing areas that are safe, convenient and meet the reasonable requirements of thedevelopment;

34 Editor’s note—Council may require the preparation of a Traffic Impact Assessment Report and an Integrated Transport Plan to demonstrate compliance with certain outcomes of the Transport and parking code.35 Editor’s note—the Planning scheme policy for development works provides guidance and specifies standards for satisfying certain outcomes of the Transport and parking code, including requirements for the preparation

(1) The purpose of the Vegetation management code is to provide for the management of vegetation in a manner which protects and enhances the biodiversity andlandscape values of the Sunshine Coast.

(2) The purpose of the Vegetation management code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:-

(a) development provides for the protection and enhancement of the Sunshine Coast’s ecosystems, biodiversity and ecological values, natural physical processes,landscape character and amenity;

(b) development ensures that vegetation within ecologically important areas is conserved;

(c) development ensures that vegetation which is of cultural, heritage, character, ecological, horticultural, scientific, educational, recreation or aesthetic (includingstreetscape, townscape or landscape) significance or value is conserved;

(d) development avoids or minimises adverse impacts on koalas and provides for a net increase in koala habitat, where applicable;

(e) development provides appropriate biodiversity offsets where vegetation clearing cannot practicably be avoided; and

(f) development involving vegetation clearing is undertaken in an environmentally responsible manner and does not cause adverse amenity impacts, public healthand safety concerns or land degradation, and is humane where impacts upon fauna are unavoidable.

PO The remaining vegetation on the site is proposedto be progressively cleared as a consequence ofthe proposed quarry extension. It is consideredthat the proposed extension to the operation, onconsidering the balance of social, economic andenvironmental considerations should besupported, based on the following:

· Alternative sites are not reasonably availableas extractive industry has very specificlocational requirements, including thelocation of the resource, proximity to themarket (as transport is a major cost inextractive industry) and suitable separationdistances to sensitive receivers.

· The proposed development is reasonablyanticipated by and consistent with thePlanning Scheme, as the site is identified asboth a Local Resource Area and State KeyResource Area.

An ecological assessment has been prepared byBAAM, which addresses all relevant legislationand confirms that there will be no significantresidual impact on any applicable protected plantor animal species (refer Attachment 8 –Ecological Assessment).
