The comments raised in the survey have been responded to at the end of 120 81% (115) the Consultation Report in a section ‘GC Have Your Say comments and City response’. 100 It is important to note the purpose of the survey was not to determine whether or not there is sufficient community support to further progress the City Plan update through the plan making process. 80 Prior to the GC Have Your Say survey, there was no apparent community interest in development of the area affected by the draft City Plan update. This was evident through the absence of public submissions received when a Material Change of Use application to vary City Plan for a residential community at 248 Eggersdorf Road was placed on public 60 notification from 29 October 2018 to 16 November 2018. There were also no submissions received during public consultation in November 2016 for a development of new houses and subdivision which is presently under construction at 212 Eggersdorf Road (immediately adjacent 248 Eggersdorf Road).

Many respondents 18.4% (38) presented similar, if not the same, opinion that was presented in question 2. The main concerns with the proposed update included supporting infrastructure, including roads and traffic, improved public transport in the area, housing density and environmental protection. 8.7% (18) In addition to the arguments presented in question 2, several respondents supported the area being used to develop Support recreational facilities, such as a community pool, community centre, green spaces (such as parklands) and conservation, but not for residential development. Another respondent felt that a lack of employment and 72.9% (151) Neutral infrastructure in the area was a more significant issue to be addressed and providing housing and recreational Do not support facilities was not the answer to address these issues. Support for residential development was evident to support future growth, with one respondent stating that they felt this was only a “minor change and an improvement on what was probably missed previously”.

Question 2 Additional comments included having more community engagement to listen to community concerns. Other comments, such as “Hasn't development already started?? Why ask the residents now?” also suggested that more contact with the City’s planning team would have benefited the community. Additionally, respondents did not feel their Question 2 provided an opportunity for respondents who selected ‘Oppose’ to question 1 to explain their reasoning.

The justification for the location of this refuge is that ‘fauna will flee to higher ground as they find it (i.e. not necessarily fleeing northwards)’. After discussions with representatives of DSDMIP, in response to the State interest the corridor is proposed to be marginally extended in the south western portion of 248 Eggersdorf Road to accommodate existing habitat trees to allow for future offsetting of the MSES vegetation in the north western part of the site. No change is proposed to the corridor over other properties along Eggersdorf Road.

4. Objection to the extent of HTCC corridor due to impacts on envisaged density The strategic framework s3.3.4.1(3) seeks new communities to achieve a minimum dwelling yield of between No action 15 to 25 dwellings per hectare net. Importantly, this density is based on ‘net hectare’ which is defined as ‘that required 02 ‘The proposed alignment of the boundary between Urban Neighbourhood and Conservation Area does not part of a hectare remaining after the dedication of land required for any public purpose’, which includes land support the envisioned density for the urban communities of up to 25 dwellings per hectare. In accordance for conservation purposes. with the envisioned density for the urban communities, a dwelling density for up to 208 dwelling is envisioned across the property at 188-190 Eggersdorf Road. The proposed alignment of the conservation area does not support the intended density for the urban community. The extension of the Urban neighbourhood to align with the existing development and structure planning that has occurred along Eggersdorf Road would support a density that is more in line with the envisioned density.’

5. Impacts of the HTCC corridor on sewerage infrastructure The City acknowledge that some sewerage infrastructure may be required to be located within the corridor No action for engineering reasons. However, this does not mean that housing and other infrastructure (roads and required 02 “In conjunction with the structure planning that has occurred along Eggersdorf Road, preliminary work has stormwater) are acceptable to be located within the corridor. been undertaken regarding the provision of permanent sewer infrastructure for Eggersdorf properties. Due to

the natural topography of the land, infrastructure is to be provided within the southern extent of the properties, along the general alignment of the east-west road. The proposed realignment of the Conservation Area will conflict with the sewerage infrastructure planning’.

‘Council’s reports have failed to acknowledge that the land on the southern side of Eggersdorf Road falls 03 toward the Pimpama River. Therefore, the sustainable servicing of all of the properties along Eggersdorf Road will likely require the provision of sewer infrastructure running along the southern most extent of the properties, potentially impacting on the proposed conservation and recreation linkage precincts.’

6. Inconsistency of proposed HTCC corridor with existing development approvals In the interest of clarity, the Cardno report does not limit total corridor width to 200m. The intent is to Change delineate corridors that capture 200 metres either side of the outer bank of waterways, that is, corridors that proposed 02 ‘Council has granted a range of development approvals along the subject section of Eggersdorf Road within are a minimum of 400-metre width.

7. Objection to the extent of the HTCC corridor due to information provided during pre-lodgement Information provided at prelodgement meetings for 188-190 Eggersdorf Road in July 2017 was not No action meetings considered as part of the City decision making to define the extent of land required to support the Hinterland required to Coast Critical (HTCC) Corridor.

By looking at the two meetings feedback and notes within the minutes of the meeting(s), the advice was heavily inconsistent. I had acquired the blocks in 2017 (188 and 190) based on the Council feedback in the meeting and points noted with the minutes of the meeting for 2017 Pre Lodge. The two land acquisitions by me of both land(s) 188 and 190 was based on the 2017 notations from GCCC and I have been grossly effected by the variance.’

03 ‘there is a clear disconnect between the existing vehicle and pedestrian access opportunities from Riparian Way and Jacqueline Bay which are both set up to provide through connectivity along the northern bank of the Pimpama River and provide hard and soft edges between development and the environmental buffer.’ ‘the precinct boundaries of the proposed CLUM have not been designed to reflect the existing movement paths (both vehicular and pedestrian) established within and connecting to the land affected by the CLUM’

Areas that are devoid of vegetation can be revegetated as discussed in Section 4.1.2.2 of the Cardno study.

10. Concern with the ‘Toolbox’ assessment and categorisation used in the ‘Southern Moreton Bay to Results of the Toolbox assessment are presented as Figure 7 of the Cardno report.

If these properties are negatively affected, it will affect the corridor as a whole. Properties that occupy a significant portion of the corridor and play a significant ecological role because of their size and contribution to key waterway linkages are of High Strategic Value to the corridor. Properties that provide the only access to existing or potential crossing structures of major linear infrastructure were considered vital to the functionality of the corridor. In basic terms, Toolbox A has been afforded on the basis of the long term strategic goal and does not need to include existing vegetation.

11. Objection to any changes which impact on land available for education purposes at 156 and 168 The current City Plan version 7 identifies the entire site within a biodiversity area (Hinterland to Coast Critical No action Eggersdorf Road Corridor). The proposed Major Update increases the area of land available for education purposes by required refining the corridor width over the property down to the extent of the 100-metre buffer to the wetland at the 07 ‘does not support any changes to the scheme which would reduce the availability of land intended for rear of the property. education purposes. The City already has a severe undersupply of appropriately zoned land for education so further reduction of developable areas on land intended for education is understandably not supported.’

12. Lack of detailed investigation in the Cardno report for all affected sites within the corridor The Cardno report is dated May 2018 and included a further desktop and field assessment for the study No action area. The purpose of field work was not for comprehensive ecological assessments.

13. Concern that the proposed changes are at odds with the HTCC Corridor Map in proposed City Plan The Cardno report provides greater insight into the ecological values present in the study area. Cardno No action Major Update 2 & 3 utilises the broad/citywide outputs promoted in the Ecosure report and further refined the outputs based on required extensive desktop and field assessments.

Recreation Parks

14. Lack of alignment of the proposed recreation parks with the LGIP Land at 248 Eggersdorf Road is presently in the Rural zone and excluded from the Priority Infrastructure No action Area (PIA) of the recently adopted LGIP. Furthermore, the proposed City Plan update does not include 248 required 03 ‘the proposed Major Amendment is not aligned to Council’s recently adopted LGIP with respect to the Eggersdorf Road within the Priority Infrastructure Area (PIA). The LGIP amendment process is different to provision of trunk parkland and recreation linkages and the proposed park designations should be removed the City Plan process and is prepared at a point in time with an amendment required every five years. from the CLUM until the LGIP is formally amended’ The current LGIP was prepared based on growth assumptions included in Gold Coast Planning Scheme ‘the proposed urban/environmental interface does not provide for the efficient or economically viable roll out 2003 Version 1.2, amended October 2010, and utilised by Gold Coast Water, which did not account for urban of infrastructure’ development of 248 Eggersdorf Road. Consequently, the inclusion of land at 248 Eggersdorf Road in the Emerging community zone requires an assessment of the need to provide additional land for trunk recreation purposes. Until the LGIP is amended to include 248 Eggersdorf Road within the PIA, development will be out of sequence with infrastructure planning. The Strategic Framework s3.8.8.1(3) requires out-of-sequence development to provide adequate infrastructure and services (including recreation open space). Work on a comprehensive amendment to the LGIP has commenced (LGIP2) and is likely for completion by mid-2021. This includes new growth projections and updates to city-wide network planning, schedules of works and review of the PIA. The proposed City Plan update seeks to provide a CLUM with greater clarity between land required for conservation purposes and land required for local recreation. This is a result of findings from the Cardno study and the City’s Parks and Recreation Services Branch updated assessment of recreation needs in the catchment. The City’s Desired Standards of Service (DSS) in s4.4.4 of City Plan identify there is a need for 8,000 square metres of local recreation park per 1,000 people. The DSS also provide accessibility standards, also reflected in the City’s Corporate Plan, which seeks 80 per cent of residents to live within 400 metres of a recreational park. If approximately 300 dwellings are built on 212 and 248 Eggersdorf Road (noting 212 Eggersdorf Road was approved without access to local recreation), combined with the lack of suitable access to recreation north of Eggersdorf Road, a new trunk recreation park is required on 248 Eggersdorf Road to ensure the City’s DSS and Corporate Plan targets are met. Consequently, the proposed City Plan update seeks to deliver clarity on local recreation outcomes required to create a liveable community and meet the Cty’s DSS.

15. Objection to the identification of recreation open space on 156 and 168 Eggersdorf Road The BCE submission unreasonably expects all 8ha of the site to be available for education purposes. Under No action the current City Plan Version 7, the entire site is identified within a biodiversity area (Hinterland to Coast required 07 ‘The conceptual land use plan use also nominates a local recreation park of 5,000 square metres along our Critical Corridor). The existing Conceptual Land Use Map (CLUM) 5 – Ormeau and Ormeau Hills indicates a site’s western boundary. As previously nominated, BCE will require all 8ha of the site to establish the large part of the site will contribute to the green space network. Under the existing City Plan, the green space secondary college. The current development application at 180 Eggersdorf Road is not proposing this local network provides both recreation and biodiversity outcomes. recreation park as part of their proposal. BCE will not be providing this park, we are already providing The BCE submission suggests that due to their future proposal not increasing the residential population (i.e. essential community infrastructure to the community. Furthermore, Council should reassess the need for two being for a school and not detached dwellings), the need for the local park is no longer valid. Further, the parks as the development of our site for a secondary college will reduce the local residential population of the submission indicates that the proposed development on the adjoining site (being 180 Eggersdorf Road) does area south of Eggersdorf Road therefore the demand for 2 parks is likely to be removed.’ not include the dedication of a local park. In both circumstances – until the development proposal is approved and the development permit is enacted, the certainty of the proposed development is unknown. There remains the potential for both the BCE sites and 180 Eggersdorf Road to be sold and alternative uses and layouts proposed. Since the preparation of the proposed amended CLUM, the City has purchased 150 Eggersdorf Road, immediately to the west of 156 Eggersdorf Road, as a future library site. The library building is likely to be located in the northern extent of the site. The positioning of the building in this location has the potential to allow for a complementary and integrated parkland use in the southern portion of the site and outside of the required waterway buffer (i.e. the use area of the Library will extend out of the physical library building and into the surrounding open space). The potential parkland on the library site may be located to augment the existing and adjoining Vista Park to the west. It may be considered that the future demand (based on m² per person) for the local park within the statistical area could be:  reduced due to the development of the library site; and

iSPOT:#72981821 (MS WORD) - CITY PLAN UPDATE NEW COMMUNITIES (EGGERSDORF ROAD, ORMEAU) CONSULTATION REPORT Page 12 of 17 785th Council Meeting 30 January 2020 340 Economy, Planning & Environment Committee Meeting 21 January 2020 Adopted Report City Plan Update – New Communities (Eggersdorf Road, Ormeau) Submissions Report

 potentially reduced if an educational facility is pursued (i.e. the area previously anticipated for residential development will now be library and high school). The alternative perspective on the reduction of demand for public open space (specifically recreation park) relates to the attraction and concentration of potential park users created by the proposed school and library. Anecdotal evidence suggests that open space areas surrounding or in close proximity to community facilities such as schools, libraries and community centres are some of the most well used local parks in the City. Examples include Salk Oval, Coomera Community Hub (Abrahams Road) and Albert Waterways Park. In addition, it is expected that a future school development will place additional demand on surrounding recreational sporting and community facilities (i.e. Right of Use for sporting facilities, use of the library and ancillary community uses). The anticipated additional demand for recreational facilities in close proximity to the library site and the proposed high school add weight to the need for the recreational facilities within the draft CLUM. Further, the development of the library site and the BCE site for non-residential purposes does not nullify the need for the recreational facilities as nominated within the draft CLUM. Therefore, due to the uncertainty of the high school at 156 and 168 Eggersdorf Road, the development of 180 Eggersdorf, the unfinalised planning for the library development and the potential additional pressure placed on existing and future open space from the proposed high school, it is recommended that the proposed provision of recreational parkland as shown on the draft CLUM remains unchanged. Should the development of the library and the secondary college proceed as proposed, it is anticipated that an integrated design approach would be encouraged by the City. It is suggested that this approach would ensure the built form and surrounding landscape for each site is complementary and builds on the synergies of each site’s proposed land use.

Other Matters

16. Support for transition of land to new communities Support for the proposed City Plan amendments are noted. No action required ‘The transition of vacant urban land to new communities will: (a) ensure essential infrastructure and services can be provided in a timely, cost effective and environmentally responsible manner; (b) ensure timely and 02 easy access to an appropriate range of goods and services, and employment opportunities, public transport and community and recreational facilities; (c) avoid natural hazard areas, or ensure these are sensitively developed; and (d) protect matters of environmental significance and landscape character.’

‘…support the City Plan Major amendment to include 248 Eggersdorf Road, Ormeau within the New communities and Emerging communities zone designations under the City Plan on the basis that demand for 04 detached dwellings on greenfield land will greatly outweigh demand for other dwelling types within infill areas of the City.’

‘I support the proposed identification of the site as ‘Urban area’ and ‘New communities’, and its inclusion 05 within the ‘Emerging communities zone.’

The submission supports the proposed identification of the site as ‘Urban area’ and ‘New communities’, and 06 its inclusion within the ‘Emerging communities zone’.

17.

Possibly the change could be seen land to better align with the nature of the land uses occurring on the site. to give rise to a situation in the future where our client’s development is regarded as a lawful non-conforming use, which would be a nonsensical and retrograde outcome. At the very least, we would ask that the proposed amendment be revisited to ensure that the existing support in the scheme maps for the on-going development of our client’s site for centre uses is maintained. Indeed, in any amendment to the planning scheme we suggest the Conceptual Land Use Maps – if they are going to be changed – should be updated to actually recognise the existence of the centre on our client’s site.’

19. Lack of meaningful engagement to prepare the City Plan update The chief Executive Notice under 18(3) provided on 7 December 2018 outlines the process the City is No action required to follow to update City Plan. The process included public consultation on the proposed City Plan required 05 ‘I am concerned that Council’s City Planning Team has not afforded me an opportunity to discuss the update which was carried out from 11 February to 11 March 2019. application proposals, or input into the preparation of the Draft City Plan Major Update before now. This is Earlier engagement with property owners was undertaken to inform preparation of the proposed City Plan despite the fact that the Chief Executive Notice under 18(3) in respect of the proposed amendment requires update. This included a letter to the property owner of 248 Eggersdorf Road on 31 January 2018, which was the Council to identify key relevant stakeholders for its consultation and undertake a range of consultation also emailed to Place Design Group on 5 February 2018. This letter sought to inform the property owner of methods that can be considered ‘best practice’. the City’s investigation and requested permission to access the site the purpose of an ecological assessment. 06 There are concerns that there has been no meaningful engagement carried out with the Council’s City Planning Team during the preparation of the Draft City Plan Major Update, despite the application proposal On 13 February, representatives from the City, Cardno Pty Ltd, Villaworld, Burchills and Place Design Group currently logged with Council. attended a site visit of 248 Eggersdorf Road.

20. Concern with the impact of removing the diversion of the Pimpama River In relation to the proposed future City acquisition of 393 Pimpama-Jacobs well road for a City Sports Park, as No action identified in the Local Government Infrastructure Plan, the Cardno report indicates: required 04 ‘We note that the report identifies Council’s intent to remove any an existing diversion on the Pimpama River “Representatives from the City’s Catchment Management Unit in attendance at the meeting advised if and when they re-take ownership.

Roads & traffic Overwhelmingly, roads and traffic were the most “Roads do not support current population” The proposed City Plan update seeks to include 248 Eggersdorf Road within the Emerging community commonly discussed topic by respondents who “The greater Ormeau/Pimpama area is already at breaking point. POOR infrastructure zone for a future urban neighbourhood and conservation purposes. However, the proposed City Plan opposed the proposed City Plan update. means every road in and out of the estates are choked at all hours of the day” update does not seek to include 248 Eggersdorf Road in the Priority Infrastructure Area (PIA) of the Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP), which identifies infrastructure required to support future land use Respondents frequently noted that current road “I would fully support it if the roads were upgraded to allow for the suburb growth.” planning identified in City Plan. infrastructure was strained, therefore would not support any future developments or population “If traffic infrastructure were improved significantly I would support the development.” Work on a comprehensive amendment to the LGIP has commenced (LGIP 2) and is likely to be growth in the area. Many also noted the current road completed by mid-2021. This includes new growth projections and updates to city-wide network planning, “Traffic is downright dangerous at times” situation as being dangerous. schedules of works and review of the PIA. “Once infrastructure is implemented [I] have no issue with it.” However, several respondents noted that they would Until the LGIP is amended to include 248 Eggersdorf Road within the PIA, development will be out-of- support the proposed update if the infrastructure sequence with infrastructure planning. The Strategic Framework s3.8.8.1(3) requires out-of-sequence issues in Ormeau were first addressed. development to provide adequate infrastructure and services. Consequently, development proposed before the site is included in the PIA requires an assessment of the transport impacts to the adjacent Eggersdorf Road intersection and also a broader review of the impacts of the proposal as far west as the motorway, along with consideration of active transport connections and networks. In relation to future planning for Eggersdorf Road, the current LGIP does not identify any City road upgrades. However, the City has long term planning for a future four-lane multi-modal upgrade to Eggersdorf Road. The planning shows a road widening requirement from the subject site which will also accommodate on road bicycle lanes. Impacts on existing and future State-controlled roads arising from the inclusion of 248 Eggersdorf Road into the Emerging community zone are assessed by the State Government Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR.) The City acknowledges issues with the Ormeau Interchange and actively advocates to the State Government to carry out improvements. To date, no such upgrade has been programmed, although funding is now available for planning to commence. TMR has announced the Coomera Connector route and gazetted this as a future State-controlled road. The state has imposed a road widening requirement on a development proposal at 248 Eggersdorf Road to provide for roadworks to Eggersdorf Road that will be required in association with an interchange with the Coomera Connector. The State has not announced any timing for delivery of this road. The State Government has also been undertaking preliminary planning for a heavy rail station infill program. There is a site earmarked just off Eggersdorf Road, behind the new Coles development. No program has been established for this project. The City advocates for this future station in its Transport Plan.

5 DISCUSSION

Background

The Open House concept was founded in London in 1992 with the aim of fostering a better understanding of architecture outside the profession. The core of this idea lay in the direct experience of the buildings themselves, accessible and free to all, with opportunities to learn, discuss and debate with experts and residents alike.

"Well-designed buildings and public spaces are vital in creating and sustaining a vibrant and equitable city and Open House enables the wider community to become more knowledgeable, engage in dialogue and make informed judgements about their future city’s environment” says Victoria Thornton OBE, Hon FRIBA (Open House Founder). 785th Council Meeting 30 January 2020 346 Economy, Planning & Environment Committee Meeting 21 January 2020 Adopted Report ITEM 3 (Continued) GOLD COAST OPEN HOUSE 2019 REPORT AND FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR 2020 CS105/274/631/2019

From the new millennium this unique format of public engagement with the city’s inhabitants resonated with cities across the globe and this organic growth of the Open House city led to the creation of the Open House Worldwide Family in 2010. The Open House ‘family’, whilst independent events, are all committed to the same values started back in 1992 and reach across five continents with over a million people participating worldwide.

The rise of Open House is indicative of an international shift in public awareness of the way cities determine how we live, as well as a growing desire for a greater stake in the creation of their city. In an era of rapid urbanization and gentrification, with questions of sustainable design, public space, and housing being prominent, Open House offers a more inclusive and open way to engage and acknowledge public voices.

The Open House event focusses on the principles of:

a) Experience: Facilitating opportunities for a city’s inhabitants to experience architecture to demonstrate that well-designed cities can improve people’s lives. Offering the opportunity to experience high quality design across ages, styles, and typology, enables understanding of the value good design in its broadest sense. Initiating direct experience of the city, rather than mediated experience, is critical.

b) Provide: Free entry to all events to enable as wide an audience as possible to participate regardless of age, gender, socio-economic level, level of education, or architectural expertise.

c) Dialogue: These direct experiences generate potential for people to engage in dialogue about the value of architecture and share their knowledge. Creating an accessible and independent platform bridges the gap between experts and users to exchange views, comment and engage in the discussion, a true dialogue.

d) Empowerment: Offering experiences and encouraging dialogue about architecture and urban design creates awareness that the public has a stake in the design, development and care of its city. The city is a ‘shared’ space that is co-created and the city’s inhabitants have the power to change the city development.

e) Advocacy: Fostering understanding about the value of a well-designed city and the role of its inhabitants in its creation encourages them to advocate for a well-designed built environment. This includes how architecture addresses environmental, social and economic sustainability, and how ‘people-centred’ design can optimise the health and wellbeing of building occupants.

In 2018, Gold Coast Open House welcomed its first ambassador - comedian, radio host, architecture enthusiast and television presenter, Tim Ross, who continued to be a staunch advocate for Gold Coast Open House in 2019. Tim’s passion for architecture and design inspired a collaboration with the National Archives of Australia on a new book, Motel Images of Australia on Holidays, capturing the best of Australian holidays from the 1950s to ‘80s. In 2019, Tim Ross was awarded the Australian Institute of Architects National President Prize for his commitment to championing architecture and the conservation of significant buildings, including his work in the Save Our Sirius campaign. Gold Coast Open House will continue to work with Tim Ross in 2020, strengthening the relationship and developing new initiatives that encourage more people, young and old, to become interested and involved with the event.

The best architecture is open to all of us and it should be for all of us. The Open House program is about getting out, taking a sticky beak and letting design wash over you, move you and inspire you. I encourage everyone young, old and in between to get involved. To look up, to look across and back in time and to the future. To let it move you.

VOLUNTEERS A record number of just over 200 volunteers participated in Gold Coast Open House this year, some of whom had volunteered at every event since the first in 2015.

The youngest volunteer this year was 16 years of age; the oldest was 81. Many buildings, locations and museums provided their own staff and regular volunteers as meeters, greeters, tour guides and hosts, providing attendees with first-hand knowledge and fascinating insight into their little patch of the Gold Coast.
