Development No. 711/504/05 Applicant Environmental Energy Australia Pty Ltd Owner The Onion Co Pty Ltd Subject Land Lot 5 of Filed Plan 108505, Patricks Road, Mannum, Hundred of Finniss Proposal Peak Load Power Station

INTRODUCTION The above mentioned development application has been lodged with Council. A provisional development plan consent is sought for the construction of a peak load power station comprising 2 bio-diesel fuelled generating turbines. Copies of plans and details submitted with the application are attached.

SUBJECT LAND

The subject land is identified as Lot 5 in FP108505, Patricks Road, Hundred of Finniss, Mannum as contained in Certificate of Title Volume 5699 Folio 373.

The allotment is situated on the outskirts of Mannum, 4.5 kilometres west of the township. It is located on the western side of Fredericks Road, approximately 150 metres north of its junction with the Murray Bridge-Mannum Road.

The site of the proposed generators and ancillary equipment is located approximately 600 metres from the Patricks Road frontage of the land and is within the Rural Zone as indicated on Map MiMu/36 of Mid Murray Council Development Plan. The subject allotment is also adjacent the Rural Living Zone as land to the east (other side) of Fredericks Road is zoned for Rural Living purposes.

The allotment is approximately 30.09 hectares in area, approximately 300 metres wide and 870 metres deep allowing the development to be set well back from Patricks and the Murray Bridge Mannum Roads.

The subject land is elevated compared to land to the south of the immediate locality and the development site is visible from the Murray Bridge-Mannum Road and to a lesser extent from the Adelaide – Mannum Road. Its level of visibility is reduced due to the fact that the site itself is set lower than land around it, in a gentle depression and does not from most vantage points, form part of the horizon. The land is gently sloping and does not contain any significant vegetation. Mains reticulated water supply is available to the land. Figure 1.1 identifies the subject land.

Photo showing the subject land taken from just south of the ETSA Sub-Station on the Murray Bridge-Mannum Road

The land is in an area in which the character is derived in part from gently undulating farming land, that is in the main cleared of vegetation and used for general farming purposes. Other significant features of the locality that contribute to the character of the locality include the large factory like building of Rivapak, about 450-500 metres east of the site of the proposed power plant, relatively close to Patricks Road. The other important feature is the ETSA sub-station located near the subject land on the eastern side of the Murray Bridge-Mannum Road power lines radiating from it to the west, north and north east and to the east. There are 6 dwellings in the area scattered around the site in most directions however, these are well separated from the subject site, with the closest being a dwelling to the south along the Murray Bridge-Mannum Road. The others range between approximately 1 to 2 kilometres from the site.

Development Assessment Panel 1904 Minutes 30 January 2006 MID MURRAY COUNCIL – DEVELOPMENT REPORT 6.8 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION 711/504/05 – ENVIRONMENTAL ENERGY AUSTRALIA PTY LTD

Visually, the rural nature of the locality is strongly influenced by the Rivapak building and the existing electricity distribution infrastructure.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL Provisional Development Plan Consent is sought for the establishment of a Peak load power station comprising:- 1. Two 60 megawatt, biodiesel fuel fired generating turbines (consuming a total of 32,000 litres per hour); 2. Switching yard; 3. Fuel storage facilities; 4. Small control, office and maintenance buildings; 5. Access driveways; 6. Stormwater/waste water management facilities; and 7. Site landscaping. The plant is not intended to contribute to base load generation capacity except in the event of local power supplies being cut such as may occur on high fire risk days and at other times it will be operated to meet peak demand. The application indicates that the plant is likely to operate for only 1.5% of the time. This would occur during periods of peak demand and power outages. On these projections, the plant would operate for the equivalent of only 5.5 days per year. The planning report also suggests around 100 hours per annum. These times are, however, required to be flexible and not limited by any approval as this would defeat the purpose of providing security of electricity supply in times of peak or unusual demand or breakdowns. The turbines are to be housed in individual buildings measuring 31.3 metres long, 14.1 metres wide and a varying but maximum height of 14 metres. Each turbine is fitted with a silencer and a 25 metre exhaust stack, the upper portion of which have a diameter of 4.6 metres. Ordinary waste water from toilets, shower and basins will be disposed of to a septic tank system and waste water and products from cleaning the turbine blades will be stored and removed from the site by a waste collection service. Stormwater controls include the covering of the site with pervious blue metal to minimise run-off, a system of training a swales comprising geotextile liner overlaid with 200 mm of stone, draining to a 400 cubic metre stormwater detention basin in the south eastern corner of the site. The detention basin is intended to both managing any peak stormwater flows and to track any sediment generated on the site. A 150 mm outlet pipe will discharge water from the detention basin through a riprap energy dissipater into the natural drainage system of the land. Rainfall from bunded areas where oil may be present will be diverted into a 40,000 litre inground reinforced concrete tank, processed through an oil/water separator and disposed of by an engineered soakage trench.

REFERRALS

The application has been referred to:- • Transport Services Division of the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure. The Department has not raised any objections to the proposal.

Development Assessment Panel 1905 Minutes 30 January 2006 MID MURRAY COUNCIL – DEVELOPMENT REPORT 6.8 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION 711/504/05 – ENVIRONMENTAL ENERGY AUSTRALIA PTY LTD

• Primary Industry and Resources SA. PIRSA has advised that it has no objections to the intermittent use of the proposed facility. • The Environment Protection Authority. The EPA has advised that it considers that the proposal should not result in environmental impact, including from nuisance. It further advises that the ongoing operation is required to be licensed by the EPA and directs that three conditions and notes be attached and to any consent for the proposal. • ETSA Utilities. They advise that the property is adjacent their Mannum Sub- Station and that they have a 33 kV overhead line running along the road reserve on the eastern boundary of the subject land and that a pole mounted transformer on that line has an underground low voltage service running into the subject land. ETSA advise that the developer contacts the Office of the Technical Regulator with respect to necessary clearances. • Native Vegetation Council Secretariat - no response received.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION

Pursuant to Principles of Development Control 48 and 49 of the Rural Zone the development was determined to be of a type that warranted Category 3 notification. Therefore in accordance with the provisions of the Development Act and Regulations 1993 letters were sent to the adjoining landowners, and a notice was placed in ‘The Leader’ on the 22nd of November, 2005.

At the conclusion of the public notification process, Council had received five written representations from:- • Phillip and Jan Thomas • Michael Wiseman • Nicholas Lazaroff • Rob Brown • WR & MJ Bowring. The representations, combined with the applicant’s response, are attached. The response answers questions raised by the representors.

Development Assessment Panel 1906 Minutes 30 January 2006 MID MURRAY COUNCIL – DEVELOPMENT REPORT 6.8 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION 711/504/05 – ENVIRONMENTAL ENERGY AUSTRALIA PTY LTD

ASSESSMENT Rural Zone

Council’s Development Plan in general makes little if any direct reference to development of the kind that is proposed in this application. The Objectives of the Rural Zone are intended to promote the retention of dry land farming, irrigated areas and other compatible value adding activities associated with primary production. It also seeks to protect rural character but does include within the desired future character “infrastructure to support acceptable uses”. It is considered that the development of a small peak load power station is the kind of infrastructure that is in direct support of acceptable primary production related uses such as the Rivapak facility located on the subject land, and the township of Mannum and its need for a consistent energy supply.

In general terms the kind of infrastructure that is proposed in this application is necessary to support both nearby urban development and the value adding primary industries. To that extent the development is contemplated within the Rural Zone.

Character and Amenity

The locality in which the subject land is located is one in general terms, of undulating open farmland through which the Adelaide–Mannum and Murray Bridge–Mannum Roads run and to that extent is viewed by tourists traveling those roads. However, it is not considered that the development will be significantly detrimental to the character of the area for the following reasons:- 1. The site is not unduly prominent as it is in a small depression and does not sit against the skyline as viewed from most positions. 2. The area already has significant man made features including the large Rivapak industrial building, the ETSA sub-station on the eastern side of the Murray Bridge– Mannum Road and the powerlines radiating from the sub-station. 3. The facility is not large, notwithstanding that there will be a pair of exhaust stacks reaching 25 metres above ground level. It is not considered that these two structures will be unduly prominent in this particular locality as they will not sit high to the skyline from the Murray Bridge–Mannum Road. It will be set further back from the road than either Rivapak or the ETSA sub–station limiting its prominence. 4. The additional powerlines into the ETSA sub-station will not be out of character in the locality due to the number of existing power lines connected to the ETSA sub– station. 5. The noise predicted from the generators is quite low when measured at surrounding dwelling sites and within the Rural Living Zone. These levels are lower than a domestic airconditioner for example, and although audible, at such low levels, should blend into the background noise generated by traffic on the main roads and the sub-station. 6. Traffic into and out of the facility will be minimal and is not expected to be disruptive to the locality and will be much less than that generated by Rivapak.

Development Assessment Panel 1907 Minutes 30 January 2006 MID MURRAY COUNCIL – DEVELOPMENT REPORT 6.8 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION 711/504/05 – ENVIRONMENTAL ENERGY AUSTRALIA PTY LTD

7. The proposed plantings around the facility will not screen the upper portions of the turbines buildings or the exhaust stacks, but will to some extent improve the character and appearance of the development. 8. It will be possible to achieve substantial separation of at least 700 to 800 metres in the future when dwellings are constructed in the Rural Living Zone. This is similar to the distance from the closest existing dwelling.

Health and Safety

The limited times of operation and the use of clean bio-fuel results in very low levels of combustion products. The EPA have expressed acceptance of these aspects of the proposal. The plant will contain significant volumes of diesel fuel held in storage tanks. These will need to be bunded in accordance with the EPA recommendations to prevent the spread of fuel in the event of a leakage or spill. With dwellings well separated from the site of the development and the lack of dense vegetation around the site the possibility of extreme fire hazard is limited and good accessibility will be available should emergency services be required to access the site. The fuel tanks are to be fitted with fire extinguishers in accordance with Australian Standard 1940. There is also a water tank for fire fighting to be fitted with a booster pump.

Access

The existing road arrangements that service Rivapak are satisfactory for access by large commercial vehicles such as semi-trailers and will be suitable for the necessary fuel deliveries and in the initial delivery of components required for the construction of the facility.

CONCLUSION

The proposed facility is a kind of development that comprises “infrastructure to support acceptable uses”. It is considered acceptable for the following reasons:-

1. The development is consistent with the presence of the ETSA sub-station, existing power lines and the Rivapak facility and minimises the extent of additional transmission lines required to connect to the sub-station. 2. There is significant and adequate separation between the subject site and surrounding dwellings. 3. Noise levels at surrounding dwellings are low and within the EPA standards. 4. The site is sufficiently below the skyline to avoid undue impact of the turbine buildings and exhaust stacks and will not unduly impact on the outlook from the Adelaide-Mannum or Murray Bridge-Mannum Roads. 5. There is no native vegetation to be removed. 6. The nature of the facility ensures that it will only run for short periods of time limiting levels of activity, noise and combustion products.

Development Assessment Panel 1908 Minutes 30 January 2006 MID MURRAY COUNCIL – DEVELOPMENT REPORT 6.8 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION 711/504/05 – ENVIRONMENTAL ENERGY AUSTRALIA PTY LTD

In conclusion, it is considered that the peaking power plant is consistent with the desired future character for the Rural Zone of the Mid Murray Council’s Development Plan. A recommendation is set out below which reflects this assessment.

Development Assessment Panel 1911 Minutes 30 January 2006 MID MURRAY COUNCIL – DEVELOPMENT REPORT 6.9 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION 711/63/01 – S TURNER

Reporting Officer: Kelvin Goldstone

Development No. 711/63/01 Applicant S Turner Subject Land Lot 5 of D51886, Long Gully Road, Mannum, Hundred of Finniss Proposal Dwelling & Shed

OVERVIEW

In February 2001 Mr Turner lodged an application for a dwelling and shed at Lot 5 of D51866, Long Gully Road, Mannum (the site of the subsequently approved land division which created 30 blocks).

The application was submitted prior to the gazettal of the River Murray Valley Plan Amendment Report consequently it was assessed on merit against the provisions of the River Murray Fringe Zone contained within the Development Plan at that time.

The application was approved and upon request (on four occasions) extensions of time to commence have been granted. It appears the current approval expires on 12 April 2006.

Mr Turner has requested a further extension of time.

There is a general internal policy of routinely granting extensions of time on up to two occasions. Given the ongoing complications/delays associated with Mr Turner’s land division this policy was less rigidly applied. Given the substantial time since the original consent (some five years) and the corresponding number of extensions of time granted, the matter of a further request for extension is listed for consideration and resolution of the Development Assessment Panel.

RAMIFICATION OF DECISION

A decision to grant a further extension of time will provide Mr Turner with an additional twelve months to act on the consent.

A decision to refuse an extension of time will result in the consent lapsing on 12 April 2006 (unless the consent is acted upon). Any subsequent application to construct a dwelling on the site will be assessed against the provisions of the current Development Plan, which will result in the application being classed as non-complying.

A direction of the Panel is sought.
