Priority Infrastructure Plan & Infrastructure Charges Schedule PART 8 INFRASTRUCTURE DIVISIONS 1-3 PRIORITY INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN & INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES SCHEDULE PART 8 INFRASTRUCTURE DIVISION 1 PRIORITY INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN (PIP) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This is the Priority Infrastructure Plan (PIP) for Gold Coast City Council prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA) and IPA Infrastructure Guidelines 1/04 and 2/04. The PIP will be subject to reviews in accordance with the requirements of IPA and will also be reviewed after the adoption of the Local Growth Management Strategy, which is required under the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2005-2026 (SEQRP). 1.1. Purpose The purpose of the PIP is to define the scale, type, timing and location of growth in the Gold Coast in order to plan future trunk infrastructure and to determine the charges required to fund it in a timely fashion. IPA requires integration of land use and infrastructure planning to allow infrastructure to be supplied in a coordinated, efficient and orderly manner. This enables sustainable development and encourages urban growth in areas where adequate infrastructure exists or can be provided efficiently. 1.2. PIP Terms, Acronyms and Definitions Definitions are provided to assist the reader’s understanding of the PIP. Where appropriate, reference should be made to the relevant legislation for statutory definitions. Term Acronym Definition Additional Trunk (a) the costs of supplying infrastructure to development that is: Infrastructure Costs (i) inconsistent with the assumptions about the type, scale, location or timing of future development stated in the PIP, or , (ii) is located wholly or partially outside the PIA, and (b) would impose additional trunk infrastructure costs on the infrastructure provider taking into account: (i) infrastructure charges or regulated infrastructure charges levied on the development, and (ii) trunk infrastructure supplied or to be supplied by the applicant in respect of the development. (refer to IPA definition) Apportionment The division of costs so that each user pays for their proportional use or planned allocation of the assets needed to provide the Desired Standard of Service. Assessable Demand The Infrastructure demand for the network, assessed for a development application.

Chargeable Demand The demand on infrastructure allocated on the network as a result of a proposed development. It is calculated as the amount of units (either Trip Ends, Impervious Hectares or Equivalent Tenements), after deducting any Credits from the Assessable Demand. The standard of performance for which development Desired Standard of Service DSS infrastructure is planned and provided. Developable Area The Gross Site Area less areas constrained by physical constraints arising under the Planning Scheme but limited to: • Steep slopes and unstable land • Areas subject to flooding • Bushfire hazard areas • Areas of vegetation and ecological significance, including land required for environmental purposes • Water catchment areas.

(refer IPA definition) Infrastructure Charges ICS A schedule adopted by a local government that states charges Schedule for the establishment cost of trunk infrastructure in the Local Government’s area in accordance with Chapter 5, Part 1, Division 4 of the IPA. (refer to IPA definition) Infrastructure Credit The credit which may be attributed for previous contributions or an existing lawful use or existing lawful right permitted under the current planning scheme, on the site at the time of lodging the application. Infrastructure credits are determined for each network. Integrated Planning Act 1997 IPA An Act for a framework to integrate planning and development assessment so that development and its effects are managed in a way that is ecologically sustainable, and for related purposes. 4 of 152 Priority Infrastructure Plan Ver.1.1 Amended Jan 07 Term Acronym Definition Land Notice For development infrastructure that is land, the local government may give an applicant a notice, in addition to or instead of, an Infrastructure Charges Notice, requiring the person to- (a) give to the Local Government, in fee simple, part of the land the subject of the development application; or (b) give to the Local Government, in fee simple, part of the land that is the subject of the development application and an infrastructure charge. (refer IPA definition) Local Area Plan LAP A detailed planning instrument that forms the basis for assessing a development application within its boundary. Management Lot A parcel of land within a development, which has been set aside for reconfiguration or development at a later date. Material Change of Use MCU A development application to change the use of a premises means generally (i) the start of a new use of the premises; or (ii) the re-establishment on the premises of a use that has been abandoned; or (iii) a material change in the intensity or scale

  • Using Risk Analysis to Prioritise Road-Based Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in Queensland
    Using Risk Analysis to Prioritise Road-Based Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in Queensland Katherine Amelia Johnston BE Civil (Honours) School of Urban Design Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering Queensland University of Technology Masters by Research (BN72) 2006 Keywords Intelligent Transport Systems, evaluation, incident management, variable message signs, prioritisation, risk analysis, decision-making Abstract With perpetual strains on resources, road agencies need to develop network-level decision-making frameworks to ensure optimum resource allocation. This is especially true for incident management services and in particular variable message signs (VMS), which are relatively immature disciplines compared to traditional road engineering. The objective of incident management and VMS is to minimise the safety, efficiency, reliability and environmental impacts of incidents on the operations of the transport system. This may be achieved by informing travellers of the incidents so they can adapt their behaviour in a manner that reduces community impacts, such as lateness and the associated vehicle emissions, unreliability of travel times, as well as secondary accidents due to incidents. Generally, road authorities do carry out needs assessments, but qualitatively in many cases. Therefore, this masters research presents a framework that is systematic, quantitative and relatively easy to implement. In order to prioritise VMS infrastructure deployment, a risk management approach was taken that focuses on minimising the impacts on, and costs to the community. In the framework and case study conducted, safety, efficiency and reliability, and environmental impacts are quantified using an economic risk management approach to determine an overall risk score. This score can be used to rank road sections within the network, indicating the roads with the highest risk of incident network impacts and therefore the roads with the highest need for intervention.
