1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Goodwin Midson has been commissioned by the applicant, Stockland Development Pty Ltd to prepare this town planning assessment report. This report forms part of and accompanies the development application for:

• Operational Works (OPW) - Advertising Devices (1 x billboard sign)

This application is over land described as Lots 705 on SP229464, and located at Kawana Way, Birtinya (refer to Appendix A - Site Locality).

The proposal is for an illuminated double-sided arrow-shaped billboard (6m wide x 3m high) to be located on land abutting the Kawana Way south of the regional hospital site. Although the land is designated for use as a community park, it is currently vacant and given the short term nature of the proposal, is not expected to be in conflict with the long term proposal that the land be provided for open space recreational use.

The report reviews the characteristics of the site, its locality, describes the proposed development and evaluates the relevant town planning issues and requirements.

The report is an assessment of the facts and conditions pertaining to the site, as the writer understands them at the time of preparation of this report.

As the proposal is generally consistent with Ca/aundra City P/an 2004, it is considered appropriate that this development application be approved, subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.

3(a) the common material; (b) Any development approval for, and any lawful use of, premises the subject of the application or adjacent premises; (c) Any referral agency's response for the application.

5.3 Local Government Considerations

The proposed development is subject to the provisions of the following local planning documents relevant to the subject land.

5.3.1 Ca/oundra City P/an 2004 According to Caloundra City Plan 2004, Map KWP1 - Kawana Waters Planning Area Precinct Map identifies the site as being within land subject to the Development Control Plan (DCP) 1 - Kawana Waters, which is the subject of the Kawana Waters Development Agreement. Pursuant to section 1.1.2 of the Caloundra City P/an 2004, and section 6.1.45A (Development control plans under repealed Act) of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, the repealed Act, the transitional planning scheme and any transitional planning scheme policies continue to apply to the extent necessary to administer DCP 1 - Kawana Waters.

Although the proposed signage location in terms of land use has been assessed against the provisions of the Transitional Planning Scheme for Caloundra City 1996, the relevant Master Plans and Development Documents, further consideration has also been given to the provisions of the Caloundra City Plan 2004 in terms of the application for signage as subject to current operational works requirements.

5.3.2 Transitional Planning Scheme for Caloundra City 1996 The relevant provisions of the Transitional Planning Scheme for the City of Ca/oundra 1996 have been considered below:

Strategic Plan Description The Strategic Plan of the Transitional Planning Scheme identifies the preferred dominant land use of the site as Urban. This designation indicates the broad location and extent of those areas within Caloundra City that are developed or considered suitable for urban development. The proposed billboard signage will not be in conflict with the objectives and implementation of the Strategic Plan.

5.3.3 Kawana Waters Development Control Plan (DCP) 1 The land is subject to the relevant provisions of the Kawana Waters Development Control Plan (DCP) 1 and have been considered as per the below:

Development Control Plan (DCP) Descriptions The relevant portion of the subject lot is identified in Map 1 of the DCP as having a preferred land use of Open Space - Recreation.

DCP Map 1 - Preferred Land Use Plan DCP Map 1 indicates the broad location and extent of the area within the western portion of Kawana Waters abutting the Mooloolah River to the west and the more developed urban area of Birtinya (including Town Centre) to the east. The designation identifies the preferred dominant land use of the site as being for Open Space - Mixed (conservation, recreation, private/public DPA 4). The Open Space - Recreation designation encompasses major active and passive open space areas.

Goodwin Mids on Page 7 2780-51-2 Stoc.ikland Brightwater ,billboard signage; Bundil Blvd. Mountain Cru u. June LU1U

The proposed (temporary) billboard signage is perhaps not consistent with the long term intent of this designation for use as a community park but given the sign relates to the overall development of the Kawana Waters community and will be temporary in its purpose, it is not considered that the signage is in conflict with the current use.

DCP Map 2 - Preferred Open Space, Circulation Network, Community Facilities DCP Map 2 identifies a Pedestrian and Bicycle Linkage within the western portion of the subject land. The proposed signage is not inconsistent with this designation and will not impede the development of such a path.

DCP Map 3 - Detailed Planning Area Plan The subject land is identified on DCP Map 3 as being in Detailed Planning Area (DPA) 4. The DPA designation covers significant areas considered to warrant more detailed planning consideration by virtue of their location or other attributes. Land designated in a DPA under the DCP 1 is subject to the Master Planned Community Development Process outlined in Part 7 of DCP 1, which includes assessment against the Development Documents and the following Master Plans:

â Master Plan No. 15 (Detailed Planning Area Plan - Perrins) 2008; and Master Plan No. 50 (Site Development Plan - Perrins - Precincts 1 - 4) 2008.

The provisions of these Master Plans relevant to the proposed signage are considered in section 5.3.4 below.

Structure Plan Maps and Other Relevant Provisions

Structure Plan One (Land Use) of DCP 1 identifies the subject land as being for open space (recreation) as being for a Community Park to be located somewhere within this land in accordance with the Development Agreement.

Structure Plan Two (Open Space System and Community Facilities) identifies the subject land as the location for a Community Park.

Structure Plan Three (Detailed Planning Areas 1-4 and 6-10) identifies the subject land as being located within Detailed Planning Area (DPA) 4.

Structure Plan Four (Village Neighbourhood Relationship) identifies the subject land as being located within the boundary of Village 1 (Kawana).

5.3.4 Master Plans

The subject site is land identified as being within the DPA4 area and therefore subject to the following Master Plans:

â Master Plan No. 15 (Detailed Planning Area Plan - Perrins) 2008; and Master Plan No. 50 (Site Development Plan - Perrins - Precincts 1 - 4) 2008.

Master Plan No. 15 (Detailed Planning Area Plan - Perrins) 2008

The site is the subject of Master Plan 15 - Detailed Planning Area Plan for DPA 4. The land over which the easement is to be created is part of DPA 4 and is therefore subject to the provisions of Master Plan No. 15 (Detailed Planning Area Plan -

Goodwin Midsoi Page 2780-51-2 Stockland Bnohtwater (biiboard signage) Bundilla Blvd. MM,lountain Creek June 2C10

Perrins) 2008. As identified in Map 3 - Precinct Plan, the subject lot spans precincts 2, 3 and 4 although the site for the billboard is contained wholly within precinct 2. Advertising signage (such as a billboard) is not a defined use within the table 1 of development for preferred uses, which are restricted to community uses being a landing, park, public purpose or public utility.

Precinct 2 is identified in Table 1 as being for Community Uses such as park, public utility, landing and other public purposes. On Map 4 - Land Use Plan, the precinct is further divided into Open Space - Conservation for the southern portion and Open Space - Recreation on for the northern portion.

Map 5 - Movement Network identifies a pedestrian/cycle link (path) through the subject land. This path has been constructed along the edge of Kawana Way just to the west of the proposed signage location.

The subject site is identified on Map 6 - Open Spaces and Map 7 - Urban Infrastructure as being for a community park which is yet to be created. South of this is conservation land and a water body and the regional hospital to the north.

The land subject to this Detailed Planning Area Plan shall be developed in accordance with the Conservational Open Space Development Criteria and Recreational Open Space Development Criteria of the Structure Plan Development Criteria - Master Plan Determination No. 1 (Structure Plan) 1999; and the development controls as specified in Table 1 of Master Plan 15.

Master Plan No. 50 (Site Development Plan - Perrins - Precincts 1 - 4) 2008 Lot 10 on SP174900 is subject to the provisions of Master Plan No.50 (Site Development Plan-Perrins - Precincts 1 - 4) 2008.

Map 3 - Precinct Plan identifies the subject land as being part of Precinct 2 (western portion) for the purposes of open space due to the nature of the precinct being on a flood plain. Probable uses such as a Community Park and maintenance paths among other items, are considered appropriate. A billboard (or signage otherwise) is not a defined community use in this precinct.

As per the Superseded Transitional Planning Scheme for the City of Caloundra, Part 7 - Placing advertising devices on premises, under Table 7.4, a large billboard sign in a recreation / community area is impact assessable development. Superseded PSP 7.0/01 siting and design of advertising devices, provides some guidance as to the appropriate location and design of signage. However, it is advisable to consider the following current provisions of Caloundra City Plan 2004 planning scheme codes for assessment of advertising devices in accordance with current requirements for operational works applications, as per the section below.

5.3.5 Planning Scheme Codes The proposed development has been assessed against the following relevant Caloundra City Plan 2004 Codes being the Advertising Devices Codes (for the type of development being a large freestanding billboard sign (Refer to Appendix C - Assessment Codes).

Goodwin Midson 6.0 CONCLUSION

This application for a Development Permit for Operational Works for the establishment of Advertising Devices - freestanding signs (1 x billboard) over the site, is subject to the impact assessment process of the Integrated Development Assessment System (I DAS) in accordance with the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.

This development application is to be assessed in accordance with the Master Planned Community Development Process as outlined in Part 7 of DCP 1 - Kawana Waters of the Transitional Planning Scheme for Caloundra City 1996, and section 6.1.45A (Development control plans under repealed Act) of the recently repealed Integrated Planning Act 1997 and therefore section 856 (Development control plans under repealed LGP&E Act) of the recently gazetted Sustainable PlanningAct2009.

It is considered that the proposal complies with the intent and requirements of the Transitional Planning Scheme for Caloundra City 1996, the Development Documents and the higher order Master Plans. It is therefore considered appropriate that this development application be approved by Sunshine Coast Regional Council, subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
