AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 6
Grounds for Refusal The development is in conflict with the following provisions of the Emerald Shire Council Amended Town Planning Scheme 1998 (Superseded).
1. Part 4 Residential Development, Provisions Section 10.2.1 states “Non residential development in the Residential A, Residential B and rural residential zones shall only be permitted if it is compatible with the surrounding residential activities and provides services directly to the surrounding inhabitants, Such non-residential uses are limited to:- • Childcare centres • Home occupations • Medical centres • Parks • Passive recreation • Plant nurseries • Places of public worship • Primary and secondary schools and • Roadside stalls.”
A “public bar” is not listed within the permitted non residential uses and the application has failed to demonstrate how the development is compatible with the surrounding residential development.
2. Part 4 Residential Development Provisions, Section 4.6 Non Residential Development states “other forms of development provide local services to residents in the immediate vicinity, these are allowed subject to compliance with the relevant Development Manual. These include educational establishments, medical centres, schools, neighbourhood shops, churches and local services to residences in the adjacent residential area” .
The development does not achieve compliance with the development manual as a public bar is not identified as a permissible non residential use and the catchment for the public bar would extend beyond the residents in the immediate vicinity.
3. The development does not achieve sufficient separation distances nor makes provision for a loading bay as required by the Town Centre Development Manual.
4. The proposal is in conflict with the following statements contained within the strategic plan:
• “The retailing functions of the shire and the region are located within the central commercial areas”. • “Councils general intention is to encourage provision of administrative, business, entertainment and retail functions in the existing central commercial area of Clermont and Egerton Streets”. • “It is Councils objective to limit in the town of Emerald, the extent of commercial ribbon development on arterial roads and to consolidate commercial expansion to the existing commercial area”. • “It is generally undesirable to further extend commercial development along Hospital Road due to problems associated with access, parking, rear servicing and undesirable intrusion of commercial activities into residential streets with the attendant residential amenity problems”. • “Council is unlikely to support ad hoc rezonings for commercial development comprising common access and parking facilities will reduce amenity problems by improving circulation and directing commercial traffic onto arterial roads rather than residential streets”. ’ Carried

Engagement of Project Manager for Blackwater – Rolleston Road
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council engages Mr Graeme Wills of George Bourne & Associates under Section 486(1)(a) of the Local Government Act 1993 as Project Manager for the Blackwater – Rolleston Road upgrade project.
INTRODUCTION The Blackwater – Rolleston Road project will require the involvement of a suitably qualified and experienced Project Manager.
BACKGROUND: In the early stages of this project Graeme Wills of George Bourne & Associates (GBA) was engaged to review the Main Roads design and undertake site investigations. This role included the necessary checks and RPEQ sign off.
COMMENT: The involvement of a Project Manager with RPEQ qualifications is essential. Given Mr Wills’ prior involvement in this project, his extensive knowledge of low volume road design and use of local materials, it is suggested that he should continue in this role.
CONSIDERATIONS: (Compliance/Risk Management)
Statutory: Section 486(1)(a) Local Government Act 1993.
Policy: Council’s policy requires compliance with the Local Government Act.
Financial: (Including whole of life costs where applicable) Funding for the project totals $12.05M being $7.05M Federal and $5.0M State government.
Corporate Plan: Key Priority 2, Objective 2.4
OPTIONS: A Project Manager with RPEQ qualification must be involved in this project.
CONCLUSION: Under Section 486(1)(a) Local Government Act 1993 it is recommended that Mr Graeme Wills of George Bourne & Associates be engaged as Project Manager for the Blackwater – Rolleston Road on the basis of his prior involvement in and knowledge of the project.

Blackwater – Rolleston Road
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That Council notes a final decision on the jump up cannot be made until actual tender prices and sub-base construction costs are able to be defined. 2. That Council agrees the priority is to achieve a seal over the whole 57.63km length.
INTRODUCTION The detailed planning for the project is well advanced and decisions are being made on the structure of contracts, risks, quantities and materials.
With the input of State funding there are additional requirements from the Department of Transport and Main Roads that have to be incorporated into the project. These include input to the final design, construction standards and project management.
BACKGROUND: The details of the project are well known. Total funding of $12.05M has been committed by Federal ($7.05M) and State ($5.0M) governments. The Central Highlands Regional Council has previously resolved to meet any additional cost over $12.05M.
COMMENT: The project to pave and seal nearly 58km of road with a budget of $12.05M is a significant one and will involve careful planning and committed project management to achieve a successful outcome.
The CHRC does not have the resources to provide the project management input and RPEQ sign off that is required. Graeme Wills of George Bourne and Associates (GBA) has been recommended for this role. An initial inspection of the road to check design details has been done by Mr Wills and CHRC staff. A detailed inspection of all drainage structures, both existing and proposed, will be undertaken in the next week or so to ensure pipe and box culverts are both needed and correctly sized. In some cases stablised floodways will be provided.
The production of road base material, construction and sealing of the road pavement which together represent a large portion of the overall project will go to tender with options available to contractors for various components of the work.
The existing pavement has to be improved and/or widened in places. This work will be done with local materials depending on the quality. As this work is extremely difficult to accurately quantify in a contract it is intended that this will be carried out by CHRC workers well in advance of the main contract. The advantage of doing this ahead of the main contract is that any weaknesses will be shown up by traffic with plenty of time available for repairs.
Until tender prices are received the estimated cost of the overall project cannot be determined which means that the ability to improve the jump up cannot be confirmed at this point in time. It is however, unlikely that a major realignment can be accommodated because of the significant earthworks that would be required. Various improvements can be made to the existing alignment and further work on this is being done.

Establishment of Turf at Hunter Street Sports Complex, Blackwater
RECOMMENDATION: That Council engages Emerald Green Turf under section 486(1)(a) of the Local Government Act 1993 for the supply and planting of turf on the new sports fields at Hunter Street Sports Complex, Blackwater.
BACKGROUND: Contracts have been entered into for an amenities building, earthworks, irrigation and electrical works associated with the sports field upgrading at Hunter Street. These contracts do not include turf for the fields.
COMMENT: Before the fields can be used a durable turf is required. Extensive enquiries in the Central Highlands and Rockhampton areas has indicated that Emerald Green Turf is very well informed on what is required and have provided considerable advice on the provision of a hard wearing sports turf.
An area of the 45,000m 2 is involved at an estimated cost of approximately $40,000. The work is necessary as part of the Hunter Street development.
CONSIDERATIONS: (Compliance/Risk Management)
Statutory: Section 486(1)(a) Local Government Act 1993.
Policy: Council’s policy requires compliance with the Local Government Act 1993.
Financial: (Including whole of life costs where applicable) The work is an essential component of the Hunter Street development for which funding has been provided.
Corporate Plan: Key Priority 2, Objective 2.4
OPTIONS: The only feasible option is to provide turf.
CONCLUSION: A durable turf playing surface is required for the newly developed sports fields at Blackwater. Under Section 486(1)(a) of the Local Government Act 1993 it is recommended that Emerald Green Turf be engaged to provide the turf.

Airport Emergency Procedure Exercise - CHRC internal debrief (for internal use only)& Councillor info Council conducted an Airport Emergency Procedure exercise on the night of 21 st October. From my perspective, given none of our staff had been exposed to this; it was a great success and a credible result from them. There was a good roll up form all Emergency Services.

Things to consider
‡ Accident happened 06 Runway – likelihood of damage to or debris on runway – need to close AP to allow inspection/ cleanup
‡ The cow! – What happened to it? – was it killed; does it need to be euthanatized?
‡ Always work up wind – essential – watch wind sock all the times for wind shifts. You could be working in smoke and burning plastics – effect on breathing – we don’t want rescuerers being rescued.
‡ Look out for debris/bodies/body parts & secure scene
‡ QPS got “lost” and drove onto active runway – need to direct or lead them (latter preferable). Could result in another accident
‡ Monitor radio
‡ Advise NOF/ ATSB
‡ No one at accident scene to brief or handover to. QPS was looking for someone. This can be an issue of resourcing as it will be busy time for ARO/s
‡ Airside/landside boundary & Gate security AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 39
‡ Clutter of vehicles around scene – too close?
‡ Adopt a lights off for movements – minimize distraction to outbound or inbound flight
‡ Passenger manifest – in reality will need to source from AC owner
‡ Order of activities – did QPS wait for QFRS all clear before rescue commenced?
‡ Phones calls from command centre – did anyone receive?
‡ Internal CHRC advises – no contacts
‡ No command centre established
‡ WHSO advised QAS smoking on AP
‡ Comments for victims – maybe invite to debrief?
‡ Real thing – get Counsellors on scene ASAP
‡ Individually, all organisations responded very well; collectively there was little evidence of coordinated response. The exercise result still was excellent.
‡ Given it was a first time for all CHRC officers; it was a very complete test of procedures with a well thought out scenario; good range of injuries, well planned and excellent execution – well done to Jaqui, Phil, Robbie, Bevan, Roland & Leesa
‡ Need to review call sequencing – CHRC
‡ Look at CHRC int phone diversions
‡ CHRC U/S crosses are hopeless – look at manufacturer
‡ Need better ID for observers – flouro bands?
‡ Smoke generating machine lost (or stolen)
Land acquisition - Stock route ‡ Progressing satisfactorily ; settlement due December 2009
Disposal of house in Dingo ‡ Tenders were called with a number of respondents. The house has been sold.
Quarry reserve acquisition for East Nogoa WTP ‡ Valuation received ‡ Application to acquire as freehold from DERM has been lodged over whole site ‡ Corners established ‡ 10Ml Plant footprint has been established and will arrange to clear. ‡ Raw water rising main routes still under consideration.
Capella Ed land ‡ Application to acquire lodged with DERM
AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 40
New refuse/recycling Contract implementation ‡ Blackwater historically has purchased cover material on an as needed basis; we have negotiated with DERM (EPA) and landowner on a win/win outcome. CHRC will dig a 50000m 3 hole on the landowner’s property to form a dam catchment, with CHRC using the spoils for cover. In its initial year, it will result in over expenditure (due to capital cost of hole), but the big payback is it will yield cover material for approximately 5+ years. CHRC has resurrected a scraper from Springsure to carry out these works.
Land disposals ‡ Blackwater residential auctions o All 29 lots now sold at or post auction ‡ Springsure residential o 8 lots sold at or post auction ‡ Nogoa Rise o Awaiting handover form Civil ops o Sales plans developed o Survey plans being completed o Auctioneer appointed o Stage auction of 47 lots schedule at 1000 on 27 th November 2009 at Maraboon Tavern

Areas of Focus ‡ Significant effort went into compiling and developing this report; it is hoped to provide some short term issues to be resolved, allowing us to progress to looking and planning further ahead. There are still day to day issues impeding progression to strategic focus. I am also still seeking what Council expectations are of Commercial Services
Quarry ‡ Some brainstorming has been had to get quarry mobile plant right sized and configured.
Capital Works delivery ‡ A spreadsheet has been developed to assist with Capital work deliveries. Carried forward figures are now available allowing a fuller picture to be determined
Manager Water ‡ Interviews have been conducted for the position of Manager W& S Springsure. Utilities: ‡ Treatment plant operator has started at Springsure (Danniel ‡ Water Utilities staff engaged in the Rolleston bore field chlorination upgrade, Pymble) this will provide a chlorinated supply to supplement the existing ring tank supply. ‡ Funding submissions being prepared for the current round of grants for the National Water Security Plan for Cities and Towns. Projects to put forward are smart meters and the Rolleston ring tank cover. This grant is provided for projects that supply water saving initiatives and techniques. ‡ Data collection and analysis being prepared for the upcoming water wise sub committee meeting ‡ Notices have gone out to the communities of Capella and Tieri advising of changes to the watering times

It is connected up to a pressure transducer to the pumps for the level control. There was a break in Bluff rising main that was difficult to locate. Arrangements have been made with the Works Dept to keep the line slashed Problems were also experienced with the Bluff pumps thought to be a mains swab or bad air blockage in the suction line. Power supply problems are being experienced to the Main and Bluff switch boards at the Reservoir Pumping station.

The applicant’s request to vary these conditions was received on 20 July 2009. A site inspection was carried out with the applicant on 3 August 2009 to discuss these points with a subsequent request being received on 24 August 2009 that included amended plans that identified proposed landscaping for the site and amended manoeuvring areas on the subject land.
Copies of these pieces of correspondence are attached. It is noted that conditions 1 and 2 of this approval would also require consequential amendment should Council approve the suggested changes to the conditions identified above. AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 55
1.1 Site Characteristics The subject site is located within the Town Zone: Industrial Precinct and has a frontage to Peacey Road to the north and the Gregory Highway (South) to the west over the Springsure Branch Railway line. Surrounding properties are predominantly industrial or rural in nature, but also include some rural residential properties to the west of the subject land.
The proposal site is not burdened by any easements or significant vegetation.
2.0 HISTORY The proposal before Council was previously considered and approved, subject to conditions, by Council on 8 July 2009. The application before Council constitutes the negotiations on this decision.
3.0 REFERRALS
3.1 Internal Council’s Civil Operations Department and Environmental Health Section reviewed and provided comments on the subject application.
Pursuant with section 3.3.16 of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 , the Environmental Health Section, as a Concurrence Agency, assessed the impact of the proposed development as an Environmentally Relevant Activity and imposed conditions.
These conditions are not subject to this request to vary this approval.
3.2 External The application triggered referral to the Department of Main Roads as a concurrence agency.
Pursuant with section 3.3.16 of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 , the Department of Main Roads, as a Concurrence Agency, assessed the impact of the proposed development on the State- controlled road network and imposed conditions denying access to the State-controlled road and addressing illumination glare issues.
These conditions are not subject to this request to vary this approval.
4.0 PLANNING ASSESSMENT The application before Council was assessed in accordance with those relevant provisions of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 and the Emerald Shire Planning Scheme 2007 and is Impact assessable.
For Council’s ease of reference, the former conditions of approval subject to this request are identified below with an officer assessment as to its continued applicability:
Condition 5
“5. AMENITY – LANDSCAPING DESIGN REQUIREMENTS Landscape the area immediately surrounding the Service Station with dense, fast growing trees and shrubs to screen the facilities from adjoining properties and road reserves.
Landscaping is to be carried out in accordance with an approved, scaled landscape drawings prepared by a suitably qualified professional. The plans shall contain at least the following information: a) Surveyed location and botanical name of existing vegetation, including species’ height and spread, b) Specify vegetation to be retained and that to be removed; c) Any structures or significant vegetation on adjoining properties that could impact upon the site; d) Existing contours and proposed finished levels for earthwork; AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 56
e) Location of existing and proposed services; f) Location and detail of subsurface, stormwater drainage and overland flow path of grassed swales; g) General identification of hard and soft landscape treatments; h) Location, species’ botanical name, numbers and size of all proposed planting; i) Location of slope batters steeper than 1:4; and j) Provision of automatic irrigation system in high maintenance areas to comply with Council requirements.
Before commencing the works, approval for the landscape plan is to be obtained from the Chief Executive Officer, or delegate.
Timing: Prior to commencement of use and to be maintained at all times thereafter”.
Applicant’s Representations The applicant has questioned the above requirement citing the industrial zoning and also their client’s desire for the facility to be highly visible from the Gregory Highway to promote awareness of the facility, access and overall capabilities.
Subsequently, in correspondence dated 24 August 2009, the applicant provided plans indicating those trees on-site to be removed, and also a plan indicating the provision of a one (1) metre high hedge along the Gregory Highway frontage. These plans are attached.
Officer Comment The proposed development was assessed against all relevant provisions of the Emerald Shire Planning Scheme 2007. One requirement, contained within the Development Standards Code (i.e. Specific Outcome 17), is for developments to be landscaped in a manner which contributes positively to streetscape and integrates existing vegetation and other natural features of the site into the development.
It was considered appropriate for this development to comply with the above requirement and as such a condition was recommended to provide for landscaping improvements to the subject land. It is not considered that the applicant’s representations obviate the need for this condition.
With respect to the proposal plans provided by the application it is noted that these plans indicate a fairly limited scope of landscaping works, essentially consisting of a one (1) metre high hedge along part of the site’s Gregory Highway (South) frontage. The proposed landscaping does not specifically integrate with existing vegetation on-site, but a stand of vegetation is to be retained between the proposed facility and Peacey Road.
It is accepted that the applicant’s proposal would achieve partial compliance with the current condition however, further detail is considered necessary to achieve full compliance with this condition.
The following amendments to this condition are considered appropriate in this instance to reflect the amended plan:
“5. AMENITY – LANDSCAPING DESIGN REQUIREMENTS (AS AMENDED BY COUNCIL ON 6 NOVEMBER 2009) Landscape the area immediately surrounding the Service Station with dense, fast growing trees and shrubs to screen the facilities from adjoining properties and road reserves in accordance with Drawing No. TT-GE01-13001, Revision 9; titled “Civil Works” as prepared by Transtank and dated 23.08.09.
The stands of existing vegetation indicated on this plan must be retained.
AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 57
Landscaping is to be carried out in accordance with an approved, scaled landscape drawings prepared by a suitably qualified professional. The plans shall contain at least the following information: a) Surveyed location and botanical name of existing vegetation, including species’ height and spread, b) Specify vegetation to be retained and that to be removed; c) Any structures or significant vegetation on adjoining properties that could impact upon the site; d) Existing contours and proposed finished levels for earthwork; e) Location of existing and proposed services; f) Location and detail of subsurface, stormwater drainage and overland flow path of grassed swales; g) General identification of hard and soft landscape treatments; h) Location, species’ botanical name, numbers and size of all proposed planting; i) Location of slope batters steeper than 1:4; and j) Provision of automatic irrigation system in high maintenance areas to comply with Council requirements.
Before commencing the works, approval for the landscape plan is to be obtained from the Chief Executive Officer, or delegate.
Timing: Prior to commencement of use and to be maintained at all times thereafter”.
Conditions 7 and 8
“7. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS – ROADS – CONSTRUCTION WORKS Design and construct all roads serving this development, including necessary connections to the existing road network, in accordance with the Capricorn Municipal Development Guidelines as specified below.
Design plans for all new road works and drainage works within the road reserve must be lodged and approved by Council prior to construction.
External Road Network All works carried out on Council’s road network shall be designed and constructed as follows:
Peacey Road Upgrade Peacey Road to a sealed standard sufficient to carry the anticipated traffic loadings of the proposed facility. These upgrades must include associated drainage works, access and intersection works in accordance with the Capricorn Municipal Development Guidelines.
The road pavement must be designed by a suitably qualified professional to meet the approval of the Chief Executive Officer, or delegate, as part of an Operational Works approval process.
Timing: Prior to the commencement of the use.
8. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS – ACCESS – INDUSTRIAL Provide sealed industrial crossings at approved locations on Peacey Road, constructed from the road pavement to the property alignment, in general accordance with Council’s standards or the Capricorn Municipal Development Guidelines. The sealed crossings must be designed by a suitably qualified professional to meet the approval of the Chief Executive Officer, or delegate, as part of an Operational Works approval process. Timing: Prior to the commencement of the use”. AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 58
Applicant’s Representations The applicant has questioned the above conditions, with particular reference to the scope of works required, contending that the standard of the existing pavement and intersection leading to the proposed facility is more than sufficient to meet the needs of this development.
In the Development Application submitted in support of this proposal it is suggested that the facility will only attract between two (2) and five (5) B-Double or Type 1 Road Train Vehicles to the site in any given 24hr period. The applicant contends that this level of use should not adversely affect the current standard of Peacey Road.
The applicant also notes that all turning circles for trucks using the facility will be performed on our site and therefore limit the adverse impact on Peacey Road.
Following discussions on-site, the applicant has provided a drawing (TT-GE01-19002) indicating the proposed works to satisfy Council’s requirements. A review of this plan by Council’s Development Engineer has determined that it meets the requirements of condition 8 above.
Officer Comment Within the Town Zone: Industrial Precinct, all uses are required to be provided with appropriate access to the Council road network without adversely impacting upon the safety of the road network, nearby accesses and the overall integrity of infrastructure within the road reserve. In this instance access for the proposed development would be via Peacey Road.
As noted above, the applicant has submitted a proposal plan that is generally acceptable to Council.
To integrate this plan into the approval, the following amendments are required to conditions 1 and 8:
“1. GENERAL - APPROVED PLANS AND DOCUMENTS (AS AMENDED BY COUNCIL ON 6 NOVEMBER 2009) Carry out the development in accordance with the following plans and documents: • “Typical 2 Bay Layout”; Drawing No: TT-SD00-09009, Revision A; as prepared by Transtank and dated 06.12.07; • “Overall Site Plan”; Drawing No. TT-GE01-09004, Revision 1; as prepared by Transtank and dated 26.06.08; and • “Proposed Layout”; Drawing No. TT-GE01-09001, Revision 22; as prepared by Transtank and dated 02.06.08 “Civil Works”; Drawing No. TT-GE01-13001, Revision 9; as prepared by Transtank and dated 23.08.09 except that the hardstand indicated must be sealed in accordance with condition 11 of this approval. These plans and documents shall form part of this approval, unless otherwise amended by conditions of this approval.
Timing: Prior to the commencement of the use.
8. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS – ACCESS – INDUSTRIAL (AS AMENDED BY COUNCIL ON 6 NOVEMBER 2009) Provide sealed industrial crossings at approved locations on Peacey Road, constructed from the road pavement to the property alignment, in general accordance with Council’s standards or the Capricorn Municipal Development Guidelines. The sealed crossings must be designed by a suitably qualified professional to meet the approval of the Chief Executive Officer, or delegate, as part of an Operational Works approval process.
Note: The access to this facility must be clearly delineated from the roadway and Graincorp Access. Timing: Prior to the commencement of the use”. AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 59
It is not considered that any amendment to condition 7 of this approval is warranted in this instance.
Condition 10
“10. CAR PARKING PROVISION a) Provide and maintain a minimum of three (3) car parking spaces for the use by this development; b) All car parking spaces are to be designed, linemarked and maintained in accordance with AS 2890.1: Parking Facilities – Off-Street Parking, except that the minimum width of a car space must be 2.75 metres in accordance with Council’s standards.
Note: In lieu of the provision of the three (3) car parking spaces specified in part a), a single truck parking bay may be provided to offset this requirement. The truck parking space must be designed and constructed to include a suitable hard stand area, and to meet the approval of the Chief Executive Officer, or delegate.
Timing: Prior to commencement of use and to be maintained at all times thereafter”.
Applicant’s Representations The applicant notes that the proposed facility is unmanned with no staff operating the site except for maintenance purposes. Furthermore, they advise that the facility will not contain toilets and showers and therefore consider there is no reason for trucks to park on the site. As such the applicant initially questioned the need for parking spaces.
Following an on-site meeting with Council staff, the applicant agreed to make provision for onsite parking for 1 x Type 1 Road Train to satisfy Council’s requirements. The proposed area should also provide short term parking for subcontractors conducting maintenance at the site.
Officer Comment The applicant has agreed to comply with Council’s requirement however; it is recommended that this condition be amended to reflect the revised plan.
The following amendment is recommended in this regard:
“10. CAR PARKING PROVISION (AS AMENDED BY COUNCIL ON 6 NOVEMBER 2009) a) Provide and maintain a minimum of three (3) car parking spaces for the use by this development; b) All car parking spaces are to be designed, linemarked and maintained in accordance with AS 2890.1: Parking Facilities – Off-Street Parking, except that the minimum width of a car space must be 2.75 metres in accordance with Council’s standards.
Note: In lieu of the provision of the three (3) car parking spaces specified in part a), Provide and maintain a minimum of one (1) a single truck parking bay suitable for a Type 1 Road Train sized articulated vehicle. may be provided to offset this requirement. The truck parking space must be designed and constructed to include a suitable hard stand area, and to meet the approval of the Chief Executive Officer, or delegate.
Timing: Prior to commencement of use and to be maintained at all times thereafter”.
AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 60
Condition 12
“12. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS – STORMWATER DRAINAGE – GENERAL All stormwater, with the exception of water captured on-site in rainwater tanks, is to be drained from the site and carried without causing annoyance or nuisance to any person to a point where it may be lawfully discharged. In doing so, the developer/owner shall: a) Design the drainage system to cater for a fully developed upstream catchment; b) Adequately cater for all stormwater draining to the land, especially for existing stormwater flow paths that are interfered with by the development or by filling of the subject land; c) Not interfere with the natural flow of stormwater unless approved under an Operational Works application; d) Control all flows in order to prevent sedimentation and/or erosion; e) Not cause concentration of flows on adjoining property; f) Not cause ponding on the site or on adjoining property; and g) Collect within the premises all stormwater run-off from artificial and roof areas on the site and discharge it to the lawful point of discharge.
In achieving the above conditions, the design and construction criteria set forth in the Capricorn Municipal Design Guidelines are to be met.
The lawful points of discharge for the site are the table drains in Peacey Road or Gregory Highway.
Compliance with this condition must be demonstrated in an Operational Works application.
Timing: Prior to the commencement of the use”.
Applicant’s Representations The applicant has advised that the development proposal was based on the use of a Hume Interceptor which claims to provide 98% efficiency in containing the Hydrocarbons. It is intended that discharges from this interceptor, and stormwater from the development would be directed to the Southern drain on the land.
Officer Comment The applicant’s proposal is acceptable and would comply with the above condition. No changes to this condition are therefore recommended in this instance.
Conditions 14 and 15
“14. WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION The development is to be connected to Council’s reticulated water supply system. The connection is to be provided and metered at the developer’s expense.
The water supply layout including provision for main cocks, enveloper pipes at cross street services, and valve and hydrant markers are to be in accordance with design plans submitted and approved by the Chief Executive Officer, or delegate.
Note: The applicant is responsible for ensuring Queensland Fire Services requirements and guidelines with respect to fire fighting prevention measures are met with respect to this development.
Timing: Prior to commencement of use and at all times thereafter.
AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 61
15. WATER AND SEWERAGE HEADWORKS Pay a contribution towards water supply headworks in accordance with Emerald Shire Council’s Planning Scheme Policy No. 2 – Water Supply Undertaking Headworks Contributions. These contributions shall be based on an equivalency ratio of 1.5 equivalent persons (EP).
The current applicable rate for 2008-2009 is assessed at $1,255.00 per EP for water supply. The total amount of contribution is therefore calculated at $1,882.50 for water supply.
You are advised that these contribution rates are subject to periodic review.
Timing: Prior to commencement of use”.
Applicant’s Representations The applicant does not consider that water is required for the operation of the site, stating that the only requirement for water will to comply with the landscaping condition, should it be enforced by Council.
Officer Comment On review it is accepted that the development’s demand for water is minimal however, it is considered likely that at some point in time the facility will require washing down, whether as part of routine maintenance, or simply to maintain the presentation of the facility.
It is also agreed that water supply will be required to ensure landscaped areas are adequately maintained.
The low usage of this facility is in essence reflected by the lower than average Equivalent Persons rate used to calculate headworks. As such it is not recommended that these conditions are amended.
5.0 CONCLUSION The requested amendments to Council’s approval for the above development have in most instances been resolved through discussions with the applicant held on-site on 3 August 2009, and the subsequent response of the applicant dated 24 August 2009. While not all amendments requested by the applicant are considered acceptable, particularly those relating to landscaping and the provision of water supply, a number of amendments are considered appropriate to reflect the changes made to the proposal plans.
These proposed changes, as identified on Drawing No. TT-GE01-13001, Revision 9; titled “Civil Works” as prepared by Transtank and dated 23.08.09 are not considered to significantly compromise Council's interests in this development and can therefore be supported from a planning perspective subject to the amended conditions contained within the recommendation above.

AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 75
1.0 PROPOSAL The applicant seeks approval for a reconstruction to complete a partially built grandstand and clubhouse facility in Opal Street (South), Emerald, locally known as McIndoe Park. Plans submitted indicate that the new facility will be positioned on the existing site using existing foundations/slab. The building will have a gross floor area of 657m² with the following breakdown:
Enclosed area: 560m² Covered area – rear 63m² Verandah – front 34m²
The physical works proposed by this application include the construction of a clubhouse featuring a kitchen and servery/bar area, storage area, restrooms, a presentation area/dance floor, seating and outside covered areas.
1.1 Site Characteristics The application site is located on the southern side of Opal Street. The subject site currently contains a partially constructed steel framed structure approximately five metres high, with concrete masonry walling situated on a concrete slab and footings. A children’s playground is sited in the northern corner of the lot. The lot is surrounded by Reserve 69 which has been developed as a sporting facility (football fields, clubhouse, change rooms and amenities block). Residential zoned freehold lots are held across Opal Street to the west.
1.2 Site History The total reserve is an area of 10.3733 hectares. The first full survey was undertaken on 15 May 1982 with Lot 196 on DSN 874 being established. A further survey to reconfigure two lots from one was completed on 16 May 1995 resulting in Lots 69 and 70 on CP893383.
In accordance with the DERM – Native Title Works Procedures, native title is considered extinguished. This advice is based on evidence that the subject land has been validly developed as a public work.
Work began on the current clubhouse in the early 1990’s. Although several phases of construction by different organisations were undertaken throughout the mid 1990’s, the structure remains incomplete.
A storm event experienced in early 2007 resulted in a partial collapse of a section of the masonry walling. A structural inspection was undertaken by Brandon & Associates in May 2007. Their report recommended “ that all masonry above 2.4 metres in height above floor level be removed immediately to prevent the risk of further collapse of those sections which are unreinforced. .” They confirmed that “ the clubhouse, while suffering some damage, is generally in a sound and serviceable condition.”
2.0 REFERRALS
2.1 Internal The application was referred to Council’s Civil Operations Department and Environmental Health Section. No objection to the proposed development was raised, subject to the imposition of appropriate conditions. These conditions have been included in the recommendation of this report.
2.2 External There were no external agencies involved in this decision.
3.0 PLANNING ASSESSMENT The application before Council was assessed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 and the Emerald Shire Council Planning Scheme (2009) and was considered to be Code assessable. AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 76
The application is therefore assessable against the following Codes: • Town Zone Code; and • Development Standards Code. An inspection of the subject site was carried out on Monday, 14 September 2009 to determine the site constraints and circumstances applicable in this instance.
3.1 Zoning and Land Use Planning The subject site is contained within the Town Zone: Recreation Precinct under the Emerald Shire Planning Scheme (2009) . The proposal is defined as “Community Purpose – Public Hall” and generally complies with the outcomes and specific requirements of the Planning Scheme relevant to a development of this type. The Town Zone – Recreation Precinct allows for the development of uses that provide sport and recreation opportunities for the residents. The plans of development show the proposal is within the planning scheme’s constraints in terms of environmental considerations, amenity and separation distances. The provisions for the built form, layout, streetscape, building heights and setbacks have all been satisfied.
3.2 Development Standards Code An assessment against the Development Standards Code resulted in the following findings:
Roads The site has frontage onto Opal Street (South) at the western boundary. The road is approximately seven (7) metres wide within a 30 metre reserve and is bitumen sealed. It has been constructed to a suitable urban standard and therefore no condition for an upgrade is required.
Access The site has no formal vehicle or pedestrian access. Currently, entrance is gained onto the site via the adjacent lot. A double concrete vehicular crossover from Opal Street leads into a sealed car parking area on Lot 69. However, as Lot 69 is not included in this application, a condition recommending the construction of a direct access from Opal Street into Lot 70 for all vehicles and pedestrians will be noted in the decision notice.
Parking and Loading Provision Council has prepared a parking policy for development in the Community Use Class (Development Standards Code Division 7:Schedule B – Parking Provisions). The rate identified for a community purpose (category 3) is 1 space per 50msq of total use area. The submitted plans of development show a total area of 657msq under roof. A minimum of 13 car parking spaces will be required. A condition requiring the area to be clearly delineated will form part of the approval.
Stormwater Drainage and Flooding Provision shall be made for all necessary storm water drainage and erosion and sediment control measures (both internal and external) in accordance the Queensland Urban Drainage Manual, except where modified by Division 8 of the Development Standards Code of the Shire of Emerald IPA Planning Scheme.
The lawful and practical point of stormwater discharge is the kerb and channel Opal Street.
Water Supply The proposed development will be required to connect to the reticulated water supply through a 32mm connection off Opal Street.
Sewerage The development site is within Council’s Sewer Supply Area and will be required to connect into the system. The lot’s point of access to the infrastructure is located in the western corner. However, because the main on the neighbouring lot runs closer to the proposed dwelling, Council will accept a connection by 100mm jump-up from Lot 69. Details of the connection will be submitted to the Plumbing Section at the Building Works stage.
AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 77
Easement An easement shall be provided over Council’s water and sewer assets. The easement should be created in favor of Central Highland Regional Council.
Power and Telecommunications The applicant shall be required to demonstrate that the proposed development is provided with a connection to the electricity supply. The extension to the electricity supply shall be underground. The applicant shall be required to demonstrate that the development is provided with a telecommunication connection.
Landscaping Landscaping plans have not been submitted with the application. A condition requiring a detailed landscaping plan to be submitted at the Building Works stage is recommended.
4.0 DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTIONS The subject site is contained within the Council’s declared water and sewerage areas for Emerald and, given the scale of the proposed use, it is appropriated the development be connected to the existing town water and sewerage infrastructure. In accordance with Council’s IPA Planning Scheme Policies 2 & 3, water supply and sewerage headworks are outlined below.
The proposed development site has an area of 0.46ha. The contribution is calculated as follows: 40EP x 0.46ha = 18.4
The 2008/2009 rates for development contributions is $1,255 per EP for water supply and $1,361 for sewerage supply.
Water Supply 18.4 EP x $1,255.00 $23,092.00 Sewerage Supply 18.4 EP x $1,361.00 $25,042.40
5.0 CONCLUSION The proposed development will complete a partially-built hall in the Recreation Precinct. The design of the renovation is considered to be of a good quality and will not have detrimental visual impact on the surrounding area. The proposal, once completed, will meet a community need by providing a public hall for the use of residents and sporting groups. The proposed development is considered not to contravene the policies and codes of the Emerald Shire Planning Scheme (2007) . It is therefore recommended that Council approve the subject site for a public hall, subject to conditions. These conditions are listed in the recommendation at the beginning of the report.

1.0 PROPOSAL Approval is sought for a Material Change of Use: Medium Impact Industry (Electrical Workshop). The site is currently developed for the purpose of storage. The applicant seeks to develop the site further for the inclusion of a new shed, for the purpose of an electrical workshop (the existing shed will remain as storage shed). The proposed shed will include basic amenities, a bathroom inclusive of both toilet and sink, and a separate sink to this area.
The dimensions of each shed are as follows: Use Dimensions Ar ea Existing Storage Shed 9m x 26m 234sqm Proposed Electrical Worksop 12.14m x 26m 315.65sqm AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 101
1.1 Site Characteristics The subject site is located within the Town – Industrial Zone and has a site area of 1,294sqm. Frontage to Powell Street is via a battle axe handle of approximately 4m wide and 73m in length.
The allotment is the subject of a previous subdivision, approved by Council on 30 th June 2003. The conditions of the approval have been met. The driveway and internal area have been sealed and kerbed in accordance with Council’s standards; stormwater is discharged appropriately via the kerbed driveway and internal stormwater drain which empty to the lawful point of discharge for the site(Powell Street).
The site is encumbered by the provision of a sewerage line, however the siting of the storage shed and proposed shed are not within 4m of the line. The storage shed was approved by Council in 2003. A temporary shed is located in the eastern corner over Council’s sewer line. A condition will be applied to the decision notice instructing removal of this shed.
The proposed material change of use of the site will require the inclusion of four (4) car parking spaces and a loading bay. The applicant has reasonably dealt with this requirement as part of an information request, and it is considered this aspect of the development can be further conditioned to fit within Council’s requirements.
2.0 REFERRALS
2.1 Internal Council’s Civil Operations Department has reviewed the subject application, suggested conditions and provided comments. These comments are contained later in this report.
3.0 PLANNING ASSESSMENT The application before Council was assessed in accordance with those relevant provisions of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 and the IPA Planning Scheme for the Shire of Emerald and is Code assessable.
The application is therefore assessable against the following: • Town Zone Code • Development Standards Code • Economic Resources Overlay Code
An inspection of the subject site was carried out on Thursday 24 th September, to determine the site constraints, and circumstances applicable in this instance.
3.1 Town Zone Code – Industrial The overall outcomes sought for the Town – Industrial Precinct are: (i) Land within the Precinct is predominantly used for medium and high impact industrial uses including manufacturing, processing, repairing, packing and storage, in locations where they can be effectively separated or buffered from incompatible land uses; (ii) Other uses including transport terminals, bulk stores and industrial uses generally having a total use area of 5000m2 or more also locate within the Precinct; (iii) Land is afforded good access to transport facilities, and is suited to building and vehicle requirements of preferred uses; (iv) Land is generally provided with urban standard services; (v) Development provides for ample on site parking, and on site manoeuvring and loading of heavy vehicles; (vi) Other uses not in the Industrial Use Class such as service industries and uses which directly serve employees of industrial uses eg food premises, are also located within the Precinct where such uses do not have significant impacts upon the operation or amenity of surrounding uses; (vii) Uses which are more suited to locating in the Town – Light Industry Precinct (see (d) – Overall Outcomes for the Town – Light Industry Precinct above) due to their scale and nature, are not located in this Precinct.
AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 102
Development is considered to be compliant with the overall outcomes of the Industrial Zone. The applicant sufficiently responded to an Information Request which identified non compliance due to inadequate parking, loading bay and manoeuvring provisions.
3.2 Economic Resources Overlay Code The subject site is identified as being affected by the Economic Resources Overlay; “Aircraft Affected Land”. The development does not involve the construction of any building which would be of considerable height or in contrast to the scale of buildings in the vicinity, and is therefore not considered relevant in this case.
3.3 Development Standards Code Developments of this nature are required to comply with a number of standard requirements outlined in the Development Standards Code. These standards ensure that developments are appropriately designed and sited to minimise the impact of the development upon the surrounding locality.
The proposal generally complies with the outcomes and specific requirements of the Planning Scheme in this instance. Aspects of particular relevance are discussed below.
3.3.1 Roads The site fronts Powell Street, which is an appropriate width and sealed standard for the development. The development does not compromise any specific outcomes pertaining to the shire road network.
3.3.2 Access The site features one (1) access point to Powell Street, via a battle axe handle 73 metres long and 4 metres wide. While this is not considered ideal for such a site, the width of the access handle is as a result of previous Council decisions and does barely allow for large vehicles and trucks. The existing access crossover and battle axe portion of the subject allotment are of a suitable sealed standard. The development does not require any change to the existing access.
3.3.3 Car Parking & Loading Bay The applicant responded to an information request addressing inadequate car parking, loading bay and manoeuvrability. The revised site plans address these issues as per the requirements of Division 7 – Schedule B. This includes the provision of four (4) car parking spaces free from obstruction of any existing or proposed roller doors, provision of a loading bay able to accommodate a 12 metre x 3.6 metre truck and the ability of such a vehicle to enter and exit the site in a forward gear.
The location of the two (2) proposed car parking spaces in the eastern corner of the site are impeded by a temporary shed. This shed is not indicated on the plans submitted, and has therefore not been assessed as part of the application. The temporary shed is sited over the sewer line. A condition shall be applied to the decision notice instructing the removal of this structure. A condition requesting an amended approved plan shall also be required, incorporating alteration to these parking spaces, requiring them to be shifted as to be flush with the northern building line of the storage shed.
The applicant has located two (2) car parking spaces in the western corner of the ‘internal’ area of the site, between the current and proposed shed. The original plans indicate provision of a roller door adjacent to these, which has been deleted, as indicated on the revised plans. It is considered that this is a reasonable solution.
Revised plans locate the required loading bay centrally within the internal area. This is considered to be an unsuitable location. The decision notice shall require amended approved plans indicating the relocation of the loading bay in the north-western corner of the allotment. The site is conducive to this relocation, which will satisfy compliance with manoeuvrability and loading bay provisions as per the requirements of the planning scheme for a medium impact industry.
AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 103
Council’s standard conditions shall apply for sealing and marking of car parking and loading bay areas, in accordance with Councils standard dimensions.
3.3.4 Stormwater Drainage and Flooding The site area is relatively flat, and drains towards Powell Street, which is the lawful point of discharge. This effectively occurs by the provision of suitable sealing and kerbing of the battle axe handle, and a stormwater drain located to the north of the site. The development is not considered to create any considerable change which would impact on stormwater drainage and flooding both on site and in the surrounding area.
However, it is reasonable to require conditions ensuring that Council’s standards are being upheld and stormwater is being discharged appropriately. A condition requiring basic treatment of stormwater should also be included to limit pollution of the natural waterways downstream of the site.
3.3.5 Water The site is already connected to Council’s water supply. However, the development will require the payment of water headworks, as per Council’s requirements for a Medium Impact Industry. As a condition of approval, the existing and future connections must be in accordance with Council’s standards.
Development Contribution – Water Supply In accordance with Council’s Local Planning Policy No. 2 – Water Supply Headworks Contributions, a contribution of $2,510 applies based on the following.
Methodology a(b-c) = d: where
a = the relevant dollar rate per equivalent person b = the number of equivalent persons applicable to the proposal the subject of the application c = the number of equivalent persons applicable; and d = total amount of the contribution required.
Medium impact Industry 0.55per 100sqm of GFA 315.64sqm/100 = 3.16 x 0.55 = 1.74 = 2 EP 2 EP x $1,255 = $2,510.00
The amount is applicable for a period of 12 months from the date of approval, and thereafter will be levied in accordance with Council’s annually revised Local Planning Scheme Policy – Water Supply Undertaking Headworks Contributions.
3.3.6 Sewerage The site has been connected to Council’s sewerage provisions. However, the development will require the payment of sewerage headworks, as per Councils requirements for a Medium Impact Industry. As a condition of approval, the existing and future connections must be in accordance with Council’s standards.
Development Contribution – Sewerage In accordance with Council’s Local Planning Policy No. 3 – Sewerage Undertaking Headworks Contributions, a contribution of $2,722 applies based on the following.
Methodology a (b-c) = d: where
a = the relevant dollar rate per equivalent person b = the number of equivalent persons applicable to the proposal the subject of the application c = the number of equivalent persons applicable; and d = total amount of the contribution required. AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 104
Medium impact Industry 0.55per 100sqm of GFA 315.64/100 = 3.16 x 0.55 = 1.74EP = 2 EP 2 EP x $1,361 = $2,722.00 The amount is applicable for a period of 12 months from the date of approval, and thereafter will be levied in accordance with Council’s annually revised Local Planning Scheme Policy - Sewerage Undertaking Headworks Contributions.
3.3.7 Power A condition shall be applied to the decision notice requiring evidence to be provided to Council stating satisfactory arrangements have been made to provide electricity services.
3.3.8 Landscaping Landscaping has been considered as part of this assessment, however due to the lack of street frontage arising from the battle axe handle shape of the allotment, and minimal visual impact on surrounding allotments, it is not considered necessary to apply a landscaping condition to the decision notice.
3.3.9 Works and Services Any works and services required for the development are likely to contain impact to the site only; however Councils standard conditions shall be applied to the decision notice to ensure Councils standards are being upheld appropriately.
4.0 CONCLUSION An assessment of the application has been carried in accordance with the Integrated Planning Act 1997 and the Emerald Shire Planning Scheme 2007 . The proposed development is considered to generally satisfy the relevant planning considerations and the application is recommended for approval, subject to conditions.

1.0 PROPOSAL Council’s approval is sought to establish a Dual Occupancy development on land at 27 Blue Gums Drive, Emerald, also described as Lot 14 on SP203789. The proposed development will be a single storey building, divided through the centre to create two dwellings. The floor plans for the dwellings detail three bedrooms (one with ensuite), one bathroom, kitchen, laundry and mixed living/lounge room for each unit. Private open space will be provided at the side and the rear of the building in the form of open grassed areas with screening between the private spaces of the dwellings provided via colourbond fencing. Each unit also has an attached patio. In total, the dwellings will cover 262.2m² of site area, representing site coverage of 26.35%.
The proposal will connect to the services already provided along Blue Gums Drive. Vehicle access will be from Blue Gums Drive via an individual sealed crossover for each dwelling. One covered parking space is provided per dwelling, in addition to the provision of an open tandem space fronting each garage.
1.1 Site Characteristics The subject land is located within the Town Zone: Residential Precinct and has a frontage onto Blue Gums Drive. The adjoining allotment to the south has a newly constructed single dwelling; and a single dwelling is also under construction to the northern allotment. The housing is predominantly low density detached dwellings mixed with vacant lots. The site is part of a relatively new residential estate comprising of 58 lots. The lot is 995m² and is currently vacant.
The lot is encumbered by two (2) easements front and rear. The proposed dwellings do not encroach on these areas.
2.0 REFERRALS
2.1 Internal Council’s Civil Operations Department has reviewed the subject application, suggested conditions and provided comments. These comments are contained in this report.
2.2 External There were no external agencies involved in this decision.
AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 114
3.0 PLANNING ASSESSMENT The application before Council was assessed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 and the Emerald Shire Planning Scheme (2009) and is Code assessable.
The application is therefore assessable against the following Codes:
• Town Zone Code; • Development Standards Code; • Residential Accommodation Code; and • Economic Overlay Code.
The proposal triggered an assessment against the Aircraft Affected Land (Distances) Overlay.
3.1 Zoning and Land Use Planning The subject site is contained within the Town Zone: Residential Precinct under the Emerald Shire Planning Scheme (2009) and generally complies with the outcomes and specific requirements of the Planning Scheme relevant to a development of this type. The Planning Scheme allows for the development of dual occupancy dwellings within the Residential Precinct. The proposed development is of a small scale and considered compatible with the residential type surroundings.
The development has been assessed against the probable solutions of this code and is found to be in full compliance.
3.2 Residential Accommodation Code A development of this nature is required to comply with the provisions of the Residential Accommodation Code. The proposal has been assessed and is generally compliant. The site area, site density, site cover and open space are all within the probable solution ranges for this type of development. The development is of a scale that compliments the surrounding residential area and does not impact negatively on the amenity or the environment of existing premises. Each dwelling has adequate private open space, including covered patio areas. While each patio area is relatively small at 9m2, they are not relied upon in the calculation of private open space, given the rear yard of each is sufficient in meeting the required area. The fencing and landscaping along the street-side boundary will provide the residents with visual and acoustic privacy while utilising this area. This satisfies the privacy and safety section of the Code.
3.3 Development Standards Code An assessment against the Development Standards Code resulted in the following findings:
3.3.1 Roads The site has frontage onto Blue Gums Drive. This road is a bitumen sealed carriageway. It has been constructed to a suitable residential standard and therefore no condition for an upgrade is required.
3.3.2 Access Physical access to the development is proposed via two (2) individual driveways and crossovers off Blue Gums Drive. The driveways will lead through to the garage of each dwelling, providing vehicular and pedestrian assess to both units. The driveways, crossovers and pathways will all be sealed to Council’s standards.
With any development, effort is made to ensure that potential on-street parking is not detrimentally impacted. Because the applicant requires separated driveways, a condition should be included to ensure that these driveways are a reasonable distance apart to allow two cars to park comfortably.
AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 115
3.3.3 Car Parking Car accommodation for the residents is provided via a single garage attached to each dwelling. Further car parking facilities have been provided on-site in a tandem design in front of each garage, to create a total of four (4) spaces on site. The proposed site development is satisfactory in terms of number and design of car parks.
3.3.4 Stormwater Drainage and Flooding Provision shall be made for all necessary storm water drainage and erosion and sediment control measures (both internal and external) in accordance the Queensland Urban Drainage Manual, except where modified by Division 8 of the Development Standards Code of the Emerald Shire Planning Scheme (2009).
The lawful and practical point of stormwater discharge is the stormwater easement to the rear of each dwelling.
3.3.5 Water Only one water connection shall be provided to service the development with provision for each unit to have an internal water meter. This water connection shall have to be of an adequate size to cater for both proposed dwellings. This supply may be augmented by rainwater tanks. No direct cross connection between the tanks and the main water supply shall occur. 3.3.6 Sewerage Sewer reticulation is available to the subject lot. A single sewerage connection shall be provided to the dual occupancy development.
3.3.7 Power and Telecommunications The applicant shall be required to demonstrate that both of the proposed dwellings are provided with a connection to the electricity supply. The extension to the electricity supply shall be underground. The applicant shall be required to demonstrate that both of the proposed dwellings are provided with a telecommunication connection.
3.3.8 Landscaping Landscaping plans in the form of garden beds with shrubs and open lawn areas have been submitted as part of this application. Assessment officers can confirm that this conceptual plan meets the requirements of the Emerald Shire Planning Scheme (2009) and will enhance the appearance of the development. Further, the landscaping plan submitted will assist in the provision of privacy to each dwelling when viewed from the street.
4.0 DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTIONS The subject site is contained within the Council’s declared water and sewerage areas for Emerald and, given the scale of the proposed use, it is appropriated the development be connected to the existing town water and sewerage infrastructure.
In accordance with Council’s IPA Planning Scheme Policies 2 & 3, water supply and sewerage headworks are outlined below.
Three (3) bedroom units generate four (4) equivalent persons (EP) per unit. Therefore, as the development proposes two (2) x three (3) bedroom units, the total equivalent person for the development is 8.
A credit of four (4) equivalent persons was given for the subject site.
The 2009 rates for development contributions is $1,255 per EP for water supply and $1,361 for sewerage supply.
Water Supply (8 EP – 4 EP) x $1,255.00 $5,020.00 Sewerage Suppl y (8 EP – 4 EP) x $1,361.00 $5,444.00
AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 116
5.0 ECONOMIC RESOURCES OVERLAY CODE The proposal is identified on the Aircraft Affected Land (Distances) Overlay. However, given that the application is a minor development, the proposal is unlikely to be affected.
6.0 CONCLUSION The proposed development is compliant with the intent of the Town Zone: Residential Precinct and the applicable provisions of the Emerald Shire Planning Scheme (2009) . It is therefore recommended that Council approve the subject site for dual occupancy development, subject to conditions. These conditions are listed in the recommendation at the beginning of the report.

AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 127
3.0 Compliance Unit (inc. Animals & Local Laws) (Robert Maher)
Regulated Dogs Currently Compliance Officers have eleven (11) investigations under way into complaints about regulated dogs, i.e. “dangerous or menacing.” This indicates to me that residents are again becoming complacent and not making sure their animals are contained in their yard, as per the Local Law, or that residents are not selecting an animal suitable to be a pet, or that owners are not taking the time to train and exercise their animals. The number of animals being rescued supports the theory that residents have become complacent.
Magistrates Court Recently a dangerous dog complaint brought before the Emerald Magistrates Court was lost. Compliance Officers currently have only one matter before the Magistrates Court, a breach of the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008 where two (2) dogs attacked and caused bodily harm, and grievous bodily harm to persons and animals in Emerald.
Animal Management Centres Enquiries are continuing into how the current centres can be updated and expanded, utilising the limited budget funds that I believe have been approved.
Blackwater (Appendix A) As can be seen from the photographs the current centre is very make-shift, small with no room for storage, first aid, office or basic bathroom facilities. With only five dog pens, there is definitely no room available to set up a cattery. Enquiries are being made into available Council land to erect a shed or a current building which could be modified.
Springsure (Appendix B) This building is the best positioned of all, to have limited funds spent on it to upgrade the facilities and introduce a cattery. A request has been made to the Water Utilities Manager to look into the installation of a hand basin, and improving the current plumbing, along with drainage. A small cattery can easily be installed in the front section.
Capella (Appendix C) As can be seen from the photos this Centre is totally inadequate, there is not even any basic hand washing facilities. Location is also a major problem which has been highlighted by a recent incident. Verbal inquires have been made with Commercial Services looking to establish a shed similar to Springsure in the Capella Depot.
Emerald (Appendix D) This Centre was original designed to house seven (7) dogs with some temporary cages for cats. With the increased work load an extra three (3) dog pens have been established, but this is barley enough on some days. There is no current cattery, and consideration has been given to converting the current office. The proposal was to look at relocating the old Rural Lands Office into the front yard of the animal management centre, making the current office available for cat cages. Inquires with Councils Building Certifier and Maintenance Officer, revealed that this could be possible with a boundary relaxation. But in fact to carry out any building work triggers a Town Planning application which is impact assessable. It is apparent there is no quick & easy inexpensive way to improve conditions and establish a cattery, further inquiries will be needed.
C.Q.L.G.A. Local Laws Reference Group The current television advertising has about two (2) months to run on this agreement. Discussion occurred on how to move forward and it was agreed that staff would prepare a proposal. The group adopted the below logo to be utilised by C.Q.L.G.A. in the hope of getting the message out to animal owners. Gladstone Regional Council Local Laws use the logo on letters, envelopes and any other way they can find in the hope of reminding the public of their responsibility. The current Chairperson Robert Moreton is moving to South Africa, and I was elected as the replacement. AGENDA – GENERAL COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2009 – PAGE 128
4.0 Continue to Provide an Effective Reticulated Water Testing Program (Kelly Warfe, Rebecca Shepherd, and Perry Dedes)
4.1 Herbicide & Pesticide Testing Routine herbicide and pesticide testing is continuing. Extremely low levels of some agricultural chemicals are commonly detected in this testing.
4.2 Bacteriological Testing Bacteriological testing is routinely carried out on a weekly basis for Emerald, Tieri and Blackwater. Other towns in the region are sampled once per month.
4.3 Chemical Analysis Routine general chemical testing is ongoing.
4.4 Radiological Analysis QLD Health Physics Unit has asked Council to assist with collecting water samples to test for radiological parameters (uranium) in groundwater supplies. Anakie and Sapphire/ Rubyvale supplies have been sampled. Springsure and Emerald groundwater still to be done.
5.0 Environment
5.1 ERA Inspections (Rebecca Shepherd & Catrina Wolski) ERA inspections are underway in Emerald and Capella. Five (5) inspections were carried out in the Cappella / Tieri area. Flammable and Combustible Liquid certificates are still being issued in the Emerald area.
6.0 General
6.1 EHA Conference – CQ region bi-annual conference (Kelly & Catrina) Central Highlands Regional Council (Emerald) is hosting the CQ regional Environmental Health Australia Conference from November 20 th to November 22 nd . The conference attracts Environmental Health Officers and Technical Officers from as far south as Fraser Coast, north to Isaac Region and west to Winton. This conference is a good opportunity for networking and having papers presented by experts in their field. It will also bring business to the Central Highlands. We have been lucky to attract sponsorship money from Minerva Joint Venture, BMA, GHD, Pacific Biologics, Golding, Amcor and Emerald Office National. Protector Alsafe have organised t-shirts with EHA Conference embroidered on them to give to our delegates.
6.2 Abandoned Vehicles (Hayley Bruce & Robert Maher) A public auction was held at the East Nogoa Reservoir (Rifle Range Road) on the 6 th of November to try and clear the abandoned vehicles held at this facility. Four (4) vehicles were sold on the day. There are still a number of vehicles left at the reservoir these vehicles will be removed to the Lochlees Landfill as scrap metal. A proposal is being drafted for Council to consider on abandoned vehicles as currently it is a drain on Council resources.
6.3 Overgrown Allotments (Perry Dedes)
I attended to issues in the Willows with another officer. Attended to or prepared notices for numerous issues in Emerald, Blackwater, Duaringa and Capella.
