DRAFT – Version 1 – October 2013 Schedule 6 - 1 Cairns Region Planning Scheme | 2013 SC6.2 Planning scheme policy – Acid sulfate soils SC6.2.1 Purpose of the planning scheme policy (1) The purpose of Planning scheme policy - Acid sulfate soils is to support the planning scheme by ensuring that development takes account of the presence of acid sulfate soils. SC6.2.2 Relationship to the planning scheme (1) This planning scheme policy provides guidance on achieving consistency with the outcomes of the acid sulfate soils overlay code for assessable development to which the overlay applies. SC6.2.3 Information Council may request SC6.2.3.1 Acid sulfate soils assessment report (1) Development is supported by a site specific acid sulfate soils assessment report detailing: (a) The height of the site in metres AHD; (b) The lowest point in metres AHD of any proposed excavation, together with the maximum volume of excavation below 5 metres AHD; (c) The height in metres AHD of any land to be filled, together with the volume and thickness of the fill to be placed on land below 5 metres AHD; (d) Whether acid sulfate soils are present in the area that is to be disturbed by the development; (e) If present, the location, depth and existing/potential acidity of acid sulfate soils relative to the proposed disturbance; (f) Implications for design, construction and operation of the proposed development. An Acid sulfate soils assessment report is to be prepared in accordance with the State Planning Policy 2/02 Guideline: Planning and Managing Development Involving Acid Sulfate Soils. SC6.2.3.2 Acid sulfate soils management plan (1) If acid sulfate soils are to be disturbed by the proposed development, a comprehensive Acid sulfate soils management plan is to be prepared and submitted to Council. The management plan is to outline how the proposed development will ensure that the release of acid and associated metal contaminants into the environment is avoided or minimised to prevent harm to the environment or to constructed assets. (2) An Acid sulfate soils management plan is to be prepared in accordance with the State Planning Policy 2/02 Guideline: Planning and Managing Development Involving Acid Sulfate Soils and must be prepared by a suitably qualified and experienced person. SC6.2.4 Related materials (1) Other documents which provide guidance on meeting the scope and purpose of the planning scheme outcomes, but are not subject to a development assessment processes under the planning scheme include: (a) State Planning Policy 2/02 Guideline: Planning and Managing Development Involving Acid Sulfate Soils DRAFT– Version 1 – October 2013 Schedule 6 - 2 Cairns Region Planning Scheme | 2013 SC6.3 Planning scheme policy – Activity centres SC6.3.1 Purpose of the planning scheme policy (1) The purpose of this planning scheme policy is to provide guidance, principles and requirements for development associated with activity centres and centre activities. SC6.3.2 Relationship to the planning scheme (1) This planning scheme policy provides guidance on achieving consistency with the requirements and outcomes of the following parts of the planning scheme: (a) Strategic framework; (b) Zone codes: (i) Principal centre zone code; (ii) Major centre zone code; (iii) District centre zone code; (iv) Local centre zone code; (v) Neighbourhood centre zone code. (c) Development codes: (i) Centre activities code. SC6.3.3 Guidance on meeting planning scheme outcomes SC6.3.3.1 Centre activity impact and need (1) Development involving a centre activity or, development of a size or scale that proposed outside an appropriately identified area is only established where the following is demonstrated: (a) There is a community need for the centre activity; (b) The centre activity does not compromise the establishment of consolidated activity centres with distinct roles and functions across the Region; (c) The centre activity does not compromise the role and function of activity centres in the hierarchy of activity centres for the Region; (d) The centre activity is located in a highly accessible place within the community it serves, not on the periphery; (e) The centre activity does not compromise the character and integrity of surrounding areas. (2) Council may request information to demonstrate to meet these outcomes. SC6.3.3.2 Adaptable activity centre design (1) The planning scheme requires that activity centres within structure plans, and major and district activity centres are designed with layouts that are adaptive to the needs of the community over time by: (a) Planning for active streets through a range of retail, commercial and community activities and spaces which can change with minimal intervention; (b) Sleeving larger format retail and commercial activities behind active street fronts; (c) Allowing for interim uses that can be changed over time and be added to with minimal interventions. (2) Fundamental to planning new communities is the need to create mixed use precincts that cater for diversity and vibrancy of urban living. The centres within the Cairns Region will be based on best practice planning of developing mixed uses horizontal and vertically. Mixed use development is encouraged through a level of activity provided at the street level that encourages community life with higher density residential activities above or around the activity. DRAFT – Version 1 – October 2013 Schedule 6 - 3 Cairns Region Planning Scheme | 2013 (3) Addaptable design for activity centres considers the potential phasing of development to ensure that ultimate targets are achieved. The diagrams below illustrates an example of how lower parking rates can be achieved early in the development processs, with the adjacent development site being used for at grade car parking. As the activity centre matures and demand for land increases, the vacant site would be developed, achieving the lower car parking standards, in line with the maturing market. Vacant laand as part of the overall development Phasing of development sees the outcome of the site, can provide for short-medium term outlined in the Master Plan achieved at grade parking. with the second phase of development. (4) Acctivity centres are adaptable to the community’s changing needs over time where they meet the following principles: (a) The activity centre provides high levels of access to public space or central activity area that serves as a community focal point and gathering pllace. (b) The activity centre is designed to ensuure a high level of permeability and incorporates a street network that is interconnected and highly legible. (c) Within core and frame areas, street blocks are based on a grid pattern with a block dimension of not more than 240m and a length to width ratio of not more than 1:4. DRAFT– Version 1 – October 2013 Schedule 6 - 4 Cairns Region Planning Scheme | 2013 (d) Development provides for streets that are responsive to the urban context and which provide opportunities for a range of local street profiles incluuding laneways, rear lanes and main streets to be provided. (e) Public open space including parks, squares, plazas and environmental open space is provided as a key physical element in the pattern of urban settlement and a prominent feature of activity cenntres and employment areas. (f) The development of activity centres is phased so that they are established as important elements within the structure of the community in the short to medium term whilst retaining opportunities to evolve and adapt to meet their full potential and ultimate planned capacity in the long term. (gg) Site design may allow for later infill sites that can Example: accommodate higher development intensity. The initial phase of developmeent establishes a building with a big floor plate building setback from the street, and then building a finer grain active frontage in front as a later phase of the activity centre’s liffe. (5) In considering adaptability, whilst designing for the ultimate development outcomes, consideration of the potential to phase development

  • I Is the Sunda-Sahul Floristic Exchange Ongoing?
    Is the Sunda-Sahul floristic exchange ongoing? A study of distributions, functional traits, climate and landscape genomics to investigate the invasion in Australian rainforests By Jia-Yee Samantha Yap Bachelor of Biotechnology Hons. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation i Abstract Australian rainforests are of mixed biogeographical histories, resulting from the collision between Sahul (Australia) and Sunda shelves that led to extensive immigration of rainforest lineages with Sunda ancestry to Australia. Although comprehensive fossil records and molecular phylogenies distinguish between the Sunda and Sahul floristic elements, species distributions, functional traits or landscape dynamics have not been used to distinguish between the two elements in the Australian rainforest flora. The overall aim of this study was to investigate both Sunda and Sahul components in the Australian rainforest flora by (1) exploring their continental-wide distributional patterns and observing how functional characteristics and environmental preferences determine these patterns, (2) investigating continental-wide genomic diversities and distances of multiple species and measuring local species accumulation rates across multiple sites to observe whether past biotic exchange left detectable and consistent patterns in the rainforest flora, (3) coupling genomic data and species distribution models of lineages of known Sunda and Sahul ancestry to examine landscape-level dynamics and habitat preferences to relate to the impact of historical processes. First, the continental distributions of rainforest woody representatives that could be ascribed to Sahul (795 species) and Sunda origins (604 species) and their dispersal and persistence characteristics and key functional characteristics (leaf size, fruit size, wood density and maximum height at maturity) of were compared.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa.

  • Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific
    Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific Craig Costion School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Adelaide Adelaide, SA 5005 Thesis by publication submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology July 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis advances plant biodiversity knowledge in three separate bioregions, Micronesia, the Queensland Wet Tropics, and South Australia. A systematic treatment of the endemic flora of Micronesia is presented for the first time thus advancing alpha taxonomy for the Micronesia-Polynesia biodiversity hotspot region. The recognized species boundaries are used in combination with all known botanical collections as a basis for assessing the degree of threat for the endemic plants of the Palau archipelago located at the western most edge of Micronesia’s Caroline Islands. A preliminary assessment is conducted utilizing the IUCN red list Criteria followed by a new proposed alternative methodology that enables a degree of threat to be established utilizing existing data. Historical records and archaeological evidence are reviewed to establish the minimum extent of deforestation on the islands of Palau since the arrival of humans. This enabled a quantification of population declines of the majority of plants endemic to the archipelago. In the state of South Australia, the importance of establishing concepts of endemism is emphasized even further. A thorough scientific assessment is presented on the state’s proposed biological corridor reserve network. The report highlights the exclusion from the reserve system of one of the state’s most important hotspots of plant endemism that is highly threatened from habitat fragmentation and promotes the use of biodiversity indices to guide conservation priorities in setting up reserve networks.
