Adjustments to charge
The levied charge will automatically increase by the lesser of the following:
(a) The difference between the levied charge and the maximum adopted charge the local government could have levied for the development when the charge is paid; and
(b) The increase for the PPI index for the period starting on the day the levied charge was levied and ending on the day it is paid, adjusted by reference to the 3-yearly PPI index average.
‘3-yearly PPI index average’ and ‘PPI index’ have the meanings given in the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. As the levied charge amount is current at the date of issue, the total charges due at the date of payment may be greater.
Offsets and/or Refunds

ITEM 4 CITY PLANNING CITYWIDE STREETSCAPE DESIGN PRINCIPLES PD113/81/06(P1)
Refer 4 page Attachment A 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Not Applicable. 2 PURPOSE OF REPORT This paper presents, for Council’s endorsement, new Citywide Streetscape Design Principles for all urban centres which may inform a future City Plan major policy update. 3 PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS Council resolution G16.1031.013 resolved that an introductory paper on Streetscape Design Guidelines and City Plan work be noted. Council-endorsed projects that previously recommended improved streetscape design policy and guidelines include the Gold Coast Light Rail Corridor Study 2011 (Council resolution G11.0912.012) and the Gold Coast Landscape Character Study 2014 (Council resolution G14.0603.015). 4 DISCUSSION Background Significant growth is anticipated on the Gold Coast over the next 20 years, mainly through infill development in existing centres and along major transport corridors. With this growth the quality of the public realm will become more critical to the city’s image, as well maintaining our enviable lifestyle. Referring to streets in centres, the City Plan Strategic Framework states:
A strong focus on cultural heritage and urban design excellence also forms a vital element of any worldclass city. Buildings and streets in centres create an active, attractive, safe and pedestrian focused environment.
Streets make up a large percentage of the city’s public realm and are critical to the way residents, workers and tourists perceive the Gold Coast’s urban areas. Everyday hundreds of thousands of people move through and experience the city through its streets. Many of the streets in older centres require improved visual outcomes to address the following issues:
multiple pavement finishes contributing to inconsistent appearance individual development streetscape treatments encroaching onto the public realm multiple furniture types utilised in the same street or area eroded grass strips due to narrow footpaths in high use pedestrian areas no or minimal street trees causing sun exposure and urban heat island impacts.
Survey work carried out by the urban design team in a number of the city’s urban centres revealed fragmented streetscape treatments that have been applied over decades with each new development or City project. For example, a survey of the Southport Priority Development Area (PDA) core area (measuring only about 400 x 400 m) identified:
21 different paving types;

571 ADOPTED REPORT
ITEM 4 (Continued) CITYWIDE STREETSCAPE DESIGN PRINCIPLES PD113/81/06(P1)
25 different seat types; and 17 different bin types.
The data collected in Southport demonstrates a level of inconsistency which does not align with the urban outcomes of an aspiring world-class city. The problems with our streetscapes are not limited to aesthetic issues but also impact the way in which the City does business in the following ways:
due to the limited guidance, the current iterative process of a developer led streetscape solution as part of the development assessment process results in time delays;
the City’s requirement to maintain multiple pavement and furniture types is neither cost-effective nor operationally efficient.
The Citywide Streetscape Design Principles At the City Planning Committee Meeting held on 26 October 2016, an agenda item was presented to introduce a program of streetscape design guidelines and policy work being undertaken by the Office of the City Architect. The Citywide Streetscape Design Principles document described here is one item from that program of work being presented now for Council’s consideration. The proposed Citywide Streetscape Design Principles aim to provide:
clear objectives for the City on streetscape design; a policy setting to inform City Plan updates; and a basis upon which to roll out streetscape design guidelines for specific areas of the
city (like the Southport PDA Streetscape Design Guidelines endorsed by Council in 2014).
The demand for this guideline was recognised following the successful implementation of the ‘Southport Priority Development Area (PDA) Streetscape Design Guidelines’, after which Office of the City Architect has received requests from development assessment (DA) officers and applicants to provide similar guidance for other areas of the city. Therefore, the proposed Citywide Streetscape Design Principles have been prepared to provide a policy setting for the city as a whole to:
inform City Plan updates and strengthened streetscape related policy provisions in the City Plan; and
enable area-specific streetscape design guidelines to be rolled out to across the city.
Draft streetscape design guidelines are currently being prepared for Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise and will be brought to the City Plan Committee for its consideration in due course. Overview The proposed Citywide Streetscape Design Principles are presented in a four page illustrated booklet (refer to Attachment A – Citywide Streetscape Design Principles). The key design principles described in the attached document are summarised under four headings:

ITEM 4 (Continued) CITYWIDE STREETSCAPE DESIGN PRINCIPLES PD113/81/06(P1)
Street Life - The street should provide for engaging street life These design principles address visual consistency, the selection of materials and finishes, the spatial arrangement and people’s use of the streetscape in order to provide engaging street life. Safety - The street must provide a safe environment for all users These design principles address multiple aspects of safety, including Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) guidelines, compliance with G:link’s operation requirements (for projects along the light rail corridor) and the need to protect users from solar radiation. Accessibility - The street should provide access for all These design principles address accessibility, giving provisions for active travel and public transport, preference for a clear access zone along building frontages to give a shoreline to people with visual impairment and provide seamless access to commercial frontages. Sustainability - The street should be green, comfortable and clean These design principles address the need for deep-planted street trees to attain optimum growth levels to shade and cool streets, as well as other design solutions that have low maintenance requirements and minimise environmental impacts. Cost Benefits The proposed Citywide Streetscape Design Principles are supported by City Infrastructure officers on the basis of the cost and operational benefits arising from the proposed streetscape materials and furniture rationalisation. It is not envisaged that there will be higher cost implications for developments as a result of this work which, in general terms, advocates greater consistency rather than a higher level of expenditure on materials and products. For example, it would be preferable for adjacent developments in an area of the city to all use a lower quality paving finish, such as in situ coloured concrete, to create visual consistency, rather than for some developments to use a higher cost material such as stone paving. Overall the install cost of the paving across all developments would be less and the cost for the City to maintain the asset would also be less. Next Steps The proposed Citywide Streetscape Design Principles, if endorsed by Council, may:
inform future updates to City Plan and obtain better streetscape outcomes for the City through development;
be used internally to guide the City’s program of streetscape improvement works and street tree planting; and
provide a framework for the preparation of centre specific streetscape design guidelines (for Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, etc.).

Citywide Streetscape Design PrinciplesPurposeThe Streetscape Design Principles aim to provide clear direction to the development industry and Council on streetscape design for all urban centres on the Gold Coast. The intent is to make streetscapes more consistent and legible, better visually integrated and more cost-effective in the long term. It will enable the City to better coordinate streetscape outcomes across centres. It also aims to simplify streetscape delivery in the development approval process and make it easier for the City to maintain streetscapes.
Enhanced streetscapes across Gold Coast urban centre business environments will provide:
• attractive retail and business centres
• improved pedestrian experience
• greater economic opportunity for business
• greater efficiencies and more consistent use of materials
• increased tree canopy and a cooler, greener, healthier environment.
This framework provides a citywide overview of streetscape requirements and outlines the key design principles.
A program of work is being undertaken to deliver Streetscape Design Guidelines (SDG) for identified urban centres, to provide supplementary information that reflects the issues and qualities specific to those centres.
Current issues
Application of this framework across urban centres is intended to address the following range of issues currently affecting the streetscape:
• lack of clarity and guidance to development industry
• development encroachment onto the public realm
• inconsistent appearance (e.g. multiple paving treatments) across an urban centre
• cost of maintenance e.g. due to need to stock large variety of infill materials
• whole-of-life cost to the City due to high variability of outcomes
• lack of street trees and other vegetation.
Overarching principlesThe overarching principles for the framework are as follows:
• Simplicity – Clear direction regarding desired streetscape treatment for urban centres.
• Consistency – Defined ACCESS and UTILITY ZONES, and design treatments that visually unify urban centres.
• Economy – A specific and well considered materials palette that is durable, easily constructed and maintained.
Figure 1 Typical map showing three main streetscape types in an urban centre
A - CoreB - FringeC - Periphery
Streetscape hierachyUrban centres will typically be divided into two or three streetscape typologies - Core, Fringe and Periphery - which reflect differing levels of urban intensity, land use and activity occuring across the area. Larger centres, such as Broadbeach, will have three typologies whereas smaller centres, such as Tugun, will just have two. The diagram below illustrates how the streetscape hierachy might be mapped in an urban centre.

Streetscape typologiesA broad description of each typology is provided below.
Type A – CoreThe core of the urban centre is a pedestrian oriented urban environment with a high visual quality that reflects its importance as a commercial and retail centre. It is defined by the extent of the City Plan Centre Zones and its accessibility by public and active travel. This typology is suitable for the core of larger urban centres (e.g. Broadbeach).
• highest proportion of paved surface to maximise pedestrian movement and activation
• high specification paving from property boundary to kerb (either honed concrete unit concrete pavers or lightly exposed in situ coloured concrete paving, depending on the location)
• contiguous awning cover
• deep-planted street trees (with appropriate soil volumes to allow trees to achieve maximum size and maturity) in grates or permeable paving
• Urban Suite Street Furniture range (stainless steel framed, hardwood panelled) – refer to the Land development guidelines
• appropriate lighting solutions to promote night-time activiation with integral banners on designated streets.
Type B – FringeA subtropical environment that creates a balance between paved areas and street trees, whilst still providing the visual quality and functions required of highly urbanised mixed use/residential areas. This typology is suitable for the core of smaller urban centres (e.g. Tugun) as well as the fringe of larger urban centres (e.g. Broadbeach).
• high proportion of paved surface with some large planting beds for subtropical understorey planting
• standard broomed or exposed aggregate concrete paving from property boundary to kerb
• optional awning cover subject to Council approval
• deep-planted street trees (with appropriate soil volumes to allow trees to achieve maximum size and maturity) in grates or permeable paving
• Urban Suite Street Furniture range (stainless steel framed, hardwood panelled) – refer to the Land development guidelines
• appropriate lighting solutions to promote night-time activiation.
Type C – PeripheryAn urban village character that reflects the residential nature of the area, through an emphasis on street trees that complements its density.
• standard broomed or exposed aggregate concrete paving to typically 1.2-1.5m footpath) with turf or plant beds to either side
• optional awning cover subject to Council approval
• street trees in mulched beds, generally; or in planted beds at nodes/intersections
• some inclusion of street furniture, depending on the location and intensity of use
• some inclusion of pedestrian lighting, depending on the location and intensity of use.
For detailed design information, including materials and furniture palette and proposed street trees, contact the City and refer to Streetscape Design Guidelines for individual urban centres, as and when these become available.

5.1.2 Background/existing policy for industrial zones The City Plan currently applies a sliding scale approach to the level of assessment for industrial uses in industrial zones depending on anticipated severity of impacts and prescribed acceptable impacts for each industrial zone. For example, the level of assessment for Low impact industry in the Medium impact industry zone is Self assessable, on the basis that impacts of Low impact industry are minor compared to the impacts accommodated in the Medium impact industry zone. The City Plan seeks to facilitate industrial activities in their appropriate locations, accounting for reverse amenity on their operations and ensuring the amenity of nearby sensitive uses as identified in the Strategic intent, section 3.2.2 City shape and urban transformation of the Strategic framework:
“The City Plan will change how development is regulated in the city’s industrial areas….This will promote efficient and sustainable use of these scarce and economically important areas and ensure that residential or other sensitive uses do not adversely impact their safe and optimal operations. Similarly, these areas, site and facilities will not establish or intensify in areas where this would cause unacceptable environmental harm or nuisance to nearby sensitive places.”
The facilitation of industry while ensuring amenity of sensitive uses, is furthered in the strategic outcomes in section 3.5 Strengthening and diversifying the economy and the specific outcomes in 3.5.2 Element – industry and business areas:
“3.5.1 Strategic outcomes
(5) Industry and business areas, like specialist centres, are major locations for specialised employment and visually attractive investment and production activity and provide a reasonable level of amenity.
These areas have a distinct role and function to centres. They do not undermine the orderly development or viability of centres…

(8) General industry areas support a range of industrial activities, including manufacturing, processing, repair and storage. They are categorised as low impact industry areas, medium impact industry areas and high impact industry areas. They are visually attractive and provide an acceptable level of amenity. Low impact industry areas can be adjacent to residential neighbourhoods to act as a buffer to medium impact industry areas and high impact industry areas.
Additionally in 3.5.2 Element – Industry and business areas, Marine industry areas have more outcomes specific to its function and operation:
“… (13) Marine industry areas accommodate and support intensive boat building and related water-based industries. These unique water-based locations may interface with residential, tourist and public areas where there are no conflicting and competing interests. New proposals continue to provide primarily marine-based industry. A limited range of retail, medical, education and tourist activities are accommodated if they directly relate to the primary marine-based industry function. Other general industry uses are also established if these activities do not impact existing marine industry uses and the long-term use of marine industry land for its intended purpose.
(14) Development in marine industry areas:
(a) allows for public access to the waterfront for recreation, access and transport in appropriate locations;
(b) presents an attractive appearance when viewed from the waterway and land; and
(c) manages impacts to provide for an acceptable level of health and amenity to nearby residential and other sensitive uses…”
Additionally the Strategic framework has an element for environmental health and amenity (3.8.6), which deals with the health and amenity of existing or planned sensitive uses, through the separation, design and management of development.

ITEM 6 CITY PLANNING COMMUNITY BENEFIT BONUS ELEMENTS POLICY REVIEW - PHASE 1 PD98/1132/04/40 1 BASIS FOR CONFIDENTIALITY 1.1 It is recommended that this report be considered in Closed Session pursuant to
section 275 (1) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 for the reason that the matter involves
(h) other business for which a public discussion would be likely to prejudice the
interests of the local government or someone else, or enable a person to gain a financial advantage.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Plan Policy – Community benefit bonus elements (the Policy) is not delivering the outcomes intended as originally drafted.
the limited application of the Policy since its introduction has highlighted the need for a review. A review of the Policy has been undertaken to determine its overall suitability, need and effectiveness, and to provide recommendations and options for the future of the Policy. This report presents the outcomes of Phase 1 of the review, and seeks endorsement to proceed to Phase 2 of the project, to prepare revised City Plan provisions in accordance with the proposed preferred option. Phase 1 has identified that
is not expected to deliver innovative and world class design across the City. Several options for the future of the Policy have been provided for City Planning Committee to consider. The strengths and weaknesses of each of these options have been considered, resulting in an Officer recommendation as follows:
Short term actions (to be investigated as part of Phase 2): o remove the existing Policy from City Plan; o incorporate additional design elements into the relevant City Plan codes; and o include a level of assessment trigger in City Plan for development that
exceeds the density on the Residential density overlay map. Longer term actions:
o prepare a Design and Urban Context Policy to be incorporated into City Plan; and
o investigate urban elements mapping identifying key desired features such as plaza and link locations, and how it could be implemented to guide outcomes for higher density development.
Removing the current Policy and codifying desired design elements will ensure the outcomes anticipated in the Policy can be delivered through stronger City Plan requirements. A level of assessment trigger will give Council the ability to review design and community benefit for proposals that exceed residential density with regard to the entire City Plan. Supporting these outcomes, a Design and Urban Context Policy and urban elements mapping will provide clear policy guidance for developers.

ITEM 6 (Continued) COMMUNITY BENEFIT BONUS ELEMENTS POLICY REVIEW - PHASE 1 PD98/1132/04/40 The short term actions will be further investigated as part of Phase 2 of this project. It is anticipated amendments suggested as part of Phase 2 of the project will form part of Major update 2 to City Plan. Longer term actions will also be investigated and any amendments suggested will form part of a future update to City Plan. 3 PURPOSE OF REPORT The purpose of this report is to present to Council the key findings of the Community Benefit Bonus Elements Policy Review - Phase 1, and seek endorsement to proceed to Phase 2 of the project in accordance with the proposed preferred option. 4 PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS Council resolved on 1 September 2015 (G15.0901.023) to include the Community Benefit Bonus Elements Policy Review within the scope for Major Update 1 of City Plan. An updated scope list was resolved at the Council meeting of 4 March 2016 (G16.0304.010), where the review of the Policy was deferred to allow for more stakeholder input in light of the Ministerial condition altering the Policy that was publicly advertised as part of City Plan version 1. Council resolved on 15 November 2016 (G16.1115.016) that the Introductory Paper – Community Benefit Bonus Elements Policy Review be noted. 5 DISCUSSION 5.1 Current state of play The Policy provides guidance on what constitutes a community benefit as envisaged by the housing form, scale and intensity overall outcomes in the Medium density residential, High density residential, Centre, Neighbourhood centre, Innovation and Mixed use zones. The Policy identifies the residential density bonus that would be contemplated in return for community benefits provided by the development, including:
ecologically sustainable development/green buildings; community facilities and improvements – public pedestrian accessibility
enhancements, public parks or streetscape works, public toilets and parents rooms, public art or artistic exterior lighting, monetary contributions to centre improvement programs; and
site amalgamation. The Policy identifies that any community benefits proposed, need to be demonstrably in excess of those that would normally be expected under the relevant provisions of City Plan or building regulations.

ITEM 6 (Continued) COMMUNITY BENEFIT BONUS ELEMENTS POLICY REVIEW - PHASE 1 PD98/1132/04/40 5.2 Legislative application In accordance with s114 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA), a planning scheme policy may only provide a supporting role, such as providing guidelines or advice about satisfying assessment criteria in City Plan. There is a tension between implementing a bonus based approach, as provided in the current Policy, within a performance based system. There are limited other Queensland examples of bonus based systems being applied in a similar way. 5.3 Ministerial correspondence There have been a number of key matters in the development of the Policy. Of note is the following Ministerial correspondence:
The Policy was amended to be considered optional in accordance with the Ministerial condition of 16 November 2015. 5.4 Application of the Community Benefit Bonus Elements Policy A review of development applications lodged since City Plan commenced in February 2016, has found that only one development application exceeding the planned residential density has applied the Policy. Applicants have instead opted out of applying the Policy, and have relied upon demonstrating compliance with the other Overall outcomes relating to orderly and economically efficient settlement pattern, housing needs, design and amenity, and environment. Developments have been able to meet these tests with no conflict with City Plan created. 5.5 Phase 1 of the project A consultant was commissioned to determine the Policy’s overall suitability, need and effectiveness, and provide options for the future of the Policy. This involved:
analysis to understand the relationship between the Policy and City Plan; policy testing (architectural assessment, relative impact assessment, urban design
and planning assessment) to understand the application of the Policy; benchmarking of other bonus policies in Australia and internationally; review of development applications to understand extent and success of Policy use
under previous and current policy regimes; targeted stakeholder consultation to obtain views and insights of the industry; determination of advantages and disadvantages of the Policy and its application
under City Plan; and identification of options and recommendations.

ITEM 6 (Continued) COMMUNITY BENEFIT BONUS ELEMENTS POLICY REVIEW - PHASE 1 PD98/1132/04/40 5.6 Key findings The work undertaken has found there is limited stakeholder support for the current Policy and its application pursuant to the current City Plan framework. The fact that the Policy is not utilised makes it difficult to identify advantages in its current operation, and highlights the need for a review of the Policy and its application to ensure the delivery of community benefit and world class design. Disadvantages of the Policy and current framework include the following:
The Policy is unused, and will continue to be unused while it remains optional; therefore, there is no realistic basis to obtaining any of the benefit elements identified within the Policy.
The benefit elements within the Policy do not necessarily contribute meaningfully to high quality design and public realm outcomes for the City.
The Policy does not necessarily have any impact on architectural design outcomes. A building could comply with the Policy and deliver a poor architectural design; conversely, a building could ignore the Policy and still deliver architectural excellence.
The utilisation of bonus elements pursuant to the Policy may result in a negative impact on the viability of a development due to the high cost of delivering the elements, compared to the modest value of the increased residential density - there is a misalignment between the value earned and the cost of each bonus element.
Even if the Policy was consistently applied, broad scale take up would likely result in duplication of bonus elements such as pedestrian links and plazas in unnecessary locations.
The SPA provides for ‘sufficient grounds’ to justify a decision, despite any conflict with a relevant planning instrument. Grounds are routinely used to justify development outcomes that seek something more than the planning scheme nominates in its provisions. As such, there is a potential for a broader range of grounds to be used to justify alternative densities, if necessary, rather than to use the Policy. The SPA will be replaced by the Planning Act 2016 (PA) in July. Under the PA, the ability to justify a decision through sufficient grounds is no longer available. However, a development proposal that does not comply with elements of City Plan may still be approved, with a statement of reasons to outline why approval has been granted.
5.7 Options, recommendations and opportunities Having regard to the advantages, disadvantages and key findings of the project, the following options have been suggested.

5.8 Officer recommendation
have reviewed the recommendations, and support the preferred option, with the addition of including a level of assessment trigger for development that exceeds the prescribed density. Officers consider that including a level of assessment trigger for development that exceeds density will enable thorough assessment against the entire City Plan. With strengthened drafting and codified design outcomes included as part of the proposed preferred option, development that proposes increased density will be subject to a higher test and must demonstrate compliance with the strategic aims of City Plan. This will provide Council with a stronger basis for enforcing the delivery of community benefit and design excellence.
The Officer recommendation is as follows: Action Short term Remove the existing Policy from City Plan
Incorporate additional design elements into the relevant City Plan Codes
Include a level of assessment trigger in City Plan for development that exceeds density on the Residential density overlay map

exceeds the density on the Residential density overlay map. Longer term actions:
o prepare a Design and Urban Context Policy to be incorporated into City Plan; and
o investigate urban elements mapping identifying key desired features such as plaza and link locations, and how it could be implemented to guide outcomes for higher density development.
It is recommended that Phase 2 of the project continue to develop the short term actions, which is anticipated to be included as part of Major update 2 to City Plan. Longer term actions will also be investigated and any amendments suggested may form part of a future update to City Plan. 17 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council resolves as follows: 1 That the report/attachment be deemed non-confidential except for those parts

16 Pimpama district centre outcomes
Internal Various Suggest reviewing the built form and character outcomes for the Pimpama district centre concerning the presumed location of a future heavy rail station at Pimpama.
It is noted that the location shown for the future heavy rail station at Pimpama, in the Centre zone code, does not match the location nominated in the State Planning Policy mapping (updated after City Plan was drafted).
From a preliminary review, it is agreed that the overall outcomes andfigures should be updated to better align with the State's planning. The rail station location shown in the Centre zone underpins a number of the other outcomes (such as, the location of the 'main street' extension). As such, it is recommended that all outcomes that apply to the Pimpama centre be reviewed, rather than just removing the reference to the rail station.
It is recommended that this matter be investigated and presented to City Planning Committee for further consideration as part of a future Major update.

20 Lack of criteria for environmental amenity impacts (i.e. noise, air, odour etc)
Internal Various Suggest improvements to assist in regulation of environmental health amenity impacts such as noise, air and odour.
Currently, the POs of the General development provisions code requires the mitigation of negative effects from a number of potential sources, including noise, vibration and odour and emissions. The code does not provide any acceptable outcomes in terms of associated criteria and assessment requirements.
Assessment of such potential sources can be extremely complex and technical.
Currently, it is not uncommon to receive impact assessment reports for similar developments, from different consultants that quote differing criteria, assessment methods and vastly different report structures. Not having such requirements detailed in the City Plan makes requesting amendments or challenging consultants very difficult and time consuming for both Council and the Applicant.
It is also considered the level of internal assessment and mitigation of potential amenity impacts would be vastly improved with the implementation of clear assessment criteria and requirements via guiding document/s.
From a preliminary review, it is considered appropriate to investigate and improve the regulation of environmental healthy amenity impacts.
Providing supporting information that outlines Council's standards and expectations will provide greater certainty to the development industry, assessment officers and the broader community. It should result in improved reporting and less information requests during development assessment.
It is recommended that this matter be investigated and presented to City Planning Committee for further consideration as part of a future Major update.

Internal Various Suggest amending the Ridges and significant hills overlay to include provisions to protect the natural landform of ridges within the city. Currently there are no provisions in the City Plan to protect deep excavation on ridges if the cut is certified by a geotechnical engineer as being low risk.
Also suggest investigating including provisions requiring a geotechnical report for deep excavations within flood affected areas and outside the Landslide hazard overlay.

Internal Various Recommend establishing noise buffer areas around waste transfer stations and recycling centres due to noise complaints being received regarding heavy machinery operating in and around some of Council's waste facilities (similar to the odour buffers areas mapped in the City Plan around Sewage treatment plants).
The City Plan currently includes provisions requiring development proximate to Sewerage treatment plants to consider the amenity impacts from those plants. Similar provisions could be included in areas around waste transfer stations and recycling centres.
It is recommended that this matter be investigated and presented to City Planning Committee for further consideration as part of a future Major update.

25 Definition of high order road External SC1.2 Administrative definitions
Suggest including state controlled roads in the definition for high order road to allow for the reduced level of assessment for small scale commercial land uses in residential zones. Currently, the definition only refers to sub-arterial road and distributor roads.
Recommend no change to the administrative definition. The term is used to allow some land uses along busy roads that would not be encouraged more broadly throughout the zone, for example, Health care services in the Low density residential zone. These uses are generally not suitable on the busiest roads (State controlled roads), due to the additional vehicle access points and vehicle numbers.
It is recommended officers review the terminology to ensure the City Plan is not implying these uses are suitable on State controlled roads.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Queensland State Planning Policy April 2016 (SPP) seeks to ensure that all natural hazards are properly considered in all levels of the planning system. A key component of addressing this State interest is related to decreasing the burden for emergency management as part of a disaster management response. The Flood overlay code in the City Plan addresses this State interest through flood free access provisions, which supports the self-evacuation of residents. However, following the peak of rare flood events, there are parts of the city, where access via the existing road network is impractical. Therefore, City officers have been undertaking a systematic policy investigation to develop alternative solutions to support flood resilient development. Given the existing infrastructure constraints, the investigation has highlighted the concept of sheltering-in-place as a viable and safe alternative to evacuation, with this emerging planning approach being considered nationally. In addition to this proposed policy approach, City officers are considering refinements and administrative improvements to better integrate the Flood overlay code as part of the scope for Major Update 2. 3 PURPOSE OF REPORT The purpose of this report is to:
Outline options for development where flood free access is not available, and seek Council’s endorsement of a policy direction relating to sheltering-in-place.
Recommend officers undertake further work to the Flood overlay code to:
o undertake administrative amendments to improve the functionality and integration of the Flood overlay code with the City Plan.

638 ADOPTED REPORT
ITEM 8 (Continued) MAJOR UPDATE 2 – DESIGNING FOR FLOOD PD113/1303(P1) Council also resolved on 28 March 2017 that the introductory paper on “update on natural hazard project” to be noted. This report provided Council with an outline of the proposed update to Council’s flood free access policy stance, set out in the Flood overlay code in the City Plan. 5 DISCUSSION Background The Queensland State Government’s interest in natural hazard risk and resilience as detailed in the SPP 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. It should be noted the Planning Minister has made a new SPP which will commence 3 July 2017. One of the state interests relevant to the proposed Council policy direction is:
“Development supports and does not hinder disaster management response or recovery capacity and capabilities.”
A key policy position for the integration of this State interest is in relation to provisions in a planning scheme that require development to support, and not unduly burden, disaster management response or recovery capacity and capabilities. The Flood overlay code provided in the City Plan addresses this State interest though the following performance outcome.
“Development in flood affected areas, must not increase the level of risk to life, or be to the detriment of flood evacuation procedures.”
Currently the acceptable outcome (AO) in the Flood overlay code to achieve this Performance outcome (PO) is through the provision of flood free access to the proposed development site. This policy position is to ensure any new development has the potential for self-evacuation of residents (not relying on assisted-evacuation), and therefore not burdening the city’s disaster response capacity.

639 ADOPTED REPORT
ITEM 8 (Continued) MAJOR UPDATE 2 – DESIGNING FOR FLOOD PD113/1303(P1) Flood free access policy options City officers have been undertaking a systematic policy investigation to develop alternative acceptable solutions to support (as practically as possible) flood resilient developments in areas of the city, which are flood affected and have no access to a flood free road network during the peak of rare flood events. This investigation has also included a review of national best practice on this topic. Given the existing infrastructure constraints the investigation has highlighted the concept of sheltering-in-place as a viable and safe alternative to evacuation. This proposed approach will provide a framework for implementing on-site emergency management as an alternative to the existing flood free access policy. This will reduce the cost and time associated with the assessment of such development applications, and will provide a flood-cognisant solution for achieving strategic objectives of City Plan with respect to growth and meeting relevant State Interests. This principle of sheltering-in-place as an alternative to evacuation is now on the national agenda, with the Australian Emergency Management Handbook 4 (prepared by the Australian Emergency Management Institute, Attorney-General’s Department, Australian Government) acknowledging the principle of sheltering-in-place as a viable and safe alternative to evacuation, stating:
“…….On some occasions it may be assessed that people would be safer to stay and shelter in place rather than evacuate. Shelter in place should be considered as an alternative when the risk associated with evacuation is seen as greater than that of sheltering in place; for example, cyclones or hazardous materials plumes or where time does not permit for a safe evacuation……...”
In addition, recent communication with the authors of the proposed National Best Practice in Flood Risk Management indicates that this concept is now being considered by many cities across the country. Clarification and update of Flood overlay code In addition to updating the existing flood free access policy approach, City officers are continuing to work on the following aspects of the Flood overlay code, which are also intended to form part of Major Update 2:
administrative refinements to the Flood overlay code.
There are minor refinements and administrative corrections that are required to ensure better integration of the Flood overlay code in the City Plan.

ITEM 8 (Continued) MAJOR UPDATE 2 – DESIGNING FOR FLOOD PD113/1303(P1) 14 STAKEHOLDER IMPACTS External / community stakeholder Impacts
The ultimate outcome of this work is community safety through the provision of viable
solution for flood-cognisant development. Internal (Organisational) Stakeholder Impacts
This policy will assist and improve the assessment process, reducing the cost of
development assessment for the Council. 15 TIMING This will form part of the scope for the Major Update 2 package as endorsed by Council on 30 May 2017. 16 CONCLUSION A key component of the Queensland State Government’s interest in natural hazard risk and resilience as detailed in the SPP is related to “development that supports and does not hinder disaster management response or recovery capacity and capabilities.” The existing Council policy requires amendment to ensure the ability for self-evacuation through the provision of flood free access roads to the development site. Additionally, the City’s transport infrastructure does not provide flood free access at all times. This has resulted in a number of issues between the Industry and the Council, requiring further investigation. Council officers have identified a viable alternative to the existing flood free access policy set out in the Flood overlay code. This alternative is based on the concept of sheltering-in-place.
17 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council resolves as follows: 1 That the report be deemed non-confidential except for those parts deemed by the
Chief Executive Officer to remain confidential in accordance with section 171 (3) and 200 (5) of the Local Government Act.
2 The City Plan be updated, as part of the ‘Designing for Flood’ scope item in Major Update 2, to include additional policy outcomes relating to a sheltering-in-place approach as an alternative to evacuation.
3 City officers will bring a report to a future City Planning Committee meeting, addressing additional proposed updates to the Flood overlay code as part of the ‘Designing for Flood’ scope item Major Update 2.
4 That the Mayoral Technical Advisory Committee be consulted on proposed content prior to progressing to State interest review.
