SC6.1 Planning Scheme Policy 1: Development Standards Schedule 6 Planning Scheme Policies SC6.1 Planning Scheme Policy 1: Development Standards SC6.1.1 Effective date (1) Council made pursuant to Chapter 3, Part 5 ‘Making, Amending or Repealing Local Planning Instruments’ of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) and has effect on and from the 1st July 2013. SC6.1.2 Introduction SC6.1.2.1 Purpose of the policy (1) The purpose of the policy is to communicate Council’s position with respect to infrastructure and other works by: (a) stating specifications and standards for works, including those associated with building work, operational work, reconfiguring a lot and for making a material change of use, which meet the overall outcomes set out in the Infrastructure and Operational Work (excluding advertising devices) Code and elsewhere in the planning scheme, as follows: (i) SC6.1.3 Design and approvals phase; (ii) SC6.1.4 Construction phase; and (b) stating an applicant’s responsibilities following construction (SC6.1.5 Post-construction phase); and (c) stating the information the local government may request from an applicant to assist it to assess a development application (SC6.1.6 Information Local Government may request, SC6.1.6.2 Presentation of Drawings and SC6.1.6.3 Development Applications); and (d) stating the information Council may request from an applicant (SC6.1.6 Information Local Government may request) requesting the approval of the Council, including the Council’s approval to a plan of subdivision (SC6.1.6.4.1 Request for approval of ‘plan of subdivision’ by the local government); and (e) stating the information the Council may request from an applicant (SC6.1.6 Information Local Government may request) with whom an agreement is to be entered into under SPA, including agreements to secure the performance of works to the standards stated in this policy (SC6.1.6.4.2 Security for incomplete works). SC6.1.2.2 Purpose of guidelines (1) The purpose of the guidelines is to: (a) provide information and advice about IDAS processes as they relate to the design and construction of infrastructure and other works; and (b) provide information and advice to applicants, consultants and contractors to facilitate the carrying out of infrastructure and other works that efficiently achieve the outcomes sought by the policy; and (c) identify related requirements of the Council. Guideline: Presentation of guidelines in this document These guidelines are not part of the statutory document i.e. the planning scheme policy, adopted by Gympie Regional Council. (2) The guidelines do not purport to identify all related procedural requirements or all related local laws, regulations, or Acts. Guideline: Other legislation The reader should note that other legislation operates independently of the policy, planning scheme, or Act. It is not necessary to identify them in this policy for them to have effect. The local government is not responsible for identifying legislation applying to particular development projects. Gympie Regional Council Planning Scheme - Alignment version 1.3 - Dated 3 July, 2017. Page 301 SC6.1.2.3 Application of policy (1) The policy functions as a part of the Integrated Development Assessment System (IDAS) under SPA. (2) The policy provides the probable solutions for codes within the Gympie Regional Council Planning Scheme (the “planning scheme”) and is to be read in conjunction with the planning scheme. Guideline: Compliance with a code Probable solutions i.e. the standards in this policy, do not necessarily establish compliance with a code. Different standards may be appropriate or necessary in particular circumstances. SC6.1.2.4 Interpretation (1) SC6.1.14 Dictionary defines particular words used in the policy. (2) The guidelines, included as boxed text or otherwise identified in this document, do not form part of the policy. (3) The reference in this policy to other standards is taken to be a reference to the latest revision unless otherwise stated. SC6.1.2.5 Structure of document (1) The policy and guidelines use the structure of the development process, which is generically ‘mapped’ in 0.

Page 302 Figure 1 Structure of the development process Gympie Regional Council Planning Scheme - Alignment version 1.3 - Dated 3 July, 2017. Page 303 SC6.1.3 Design and approvals phase Guideline: Engineering constraints The site and road layout resulting from consideration of social, environmental, traffic and development layout constraints may need to be modified to satisfy engineering constraints. Although the engineering design of roads is the province of the Consulting Engineer, it is essential that the Surveyor, Landscape Architect or Planner preparing the development proposal plan be fully aware of the engineering constraints, stormwater drainage and road design requirements, to ensure that the road and lot layouts proposed are satisfactory in this respect. Major alterations to the development layout may otherwise be necessary to accommodate engineering constraints. These engineering constraints include sewer alignments, drainage overland flow paths, vertical alignment, horizontal alignment and design speed of roads, reasonable access to allotments, connections to adjoining lands etc. The Consultant is responsible for providing a layout to suit these constraints. Preliminary engineering design of roadworks, stormwater drainage and sewers is required at MCU/ROL to ensure that the proposed layout does accommodate all engineering constraints. Prior to preparing the development layout plan, the Engineer should be consulted to ascertain if a layout already exists for the area in question and to ensure that the road network proposed will generally conform with the overall road hierarchy and open space plan envisaged by Council. The advice of the Engineer should be sought early in the planning phase of development projects to ensure that engineering and environmental constraints, including conservation and heritage issues, are properly considered during the design phase. Developers and Consultants are to conform to design limitations and constraints imposed by: 1. the planning scheme and incorporated planning scheme policies; 2. any State planning policies that have not been incorporated into the planning scheme; 3. the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act and “cultural heritage duty of care guidelines” dealing with the recognition, protection and conservation of Aboriginal cultural heritage; 4. the Building Act and associated Standard Building Regulation and Building Code of Australia dealing with the construction and on-site works for buildings; 5. the Child Care Regulation dealing with home-based childcare; 6. the Coastal Protection and Management Act and Coastal Protection and Management Regulation dealing with the protection and management of the coast; 7. the Dangerous Goods Safety Management Act dealing with the storage of dangerous goods; 8. the Electricity Act and Electricity Regulation dealing with the provision of electricity services; 9. the Environmental Protection Act and associated regulations dealing with harmful contamination of air, water and soil; (Note: Where land to be developed may have been subject to contamination, then investigation and clearance in accordance with of the Environmental Protection Act would be prudent. This requirement does not relieve the Developer from ensuring contaminated land is not used for inappropriate developments.) 10. the Fisheries Act dealing with the protection of important fish habitat areas; 11. the Mineral Resources Act dealing with mining (not to be integrated); 12. the Nature Conservation Act dealing with the conservation of resources and other natural elements; 13. the Plumbing and Drainage Act and Standard Plumbing and Drainage Regulation; 14. the Queensland Heritage Act and the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act dealing with the protection of places having cultural heritage value; 15. the Transport Infrastructure Act dealing with development impacting on State–controlled roads; 16. the Vegetation Management Act dealing with the clearing of vegetation; 17. the Water Act and Water Regulation dealing with the taking of or interfering with water; 18. the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008 for the provision of water and sewerage infrastructure; 19. the Workplace Health and Safety Act. When applicants and consultants respond to Council Information Requests, a written description of how each item of the request has been addressed is to accompany the response. Gympie Regional Council Planning Scheme - Alignment version 1.3 - Dated 3 July, 2017. Page 304 SC6.1.3.1 Standards for the provision of works (1) 0 states the Council’s standards for the provision of infrastructure works associated with development including carrying out building work or operational work, reconfiguring a lot or making a material change of use. (2) The symbol ‘’ indicates that the works identified in Column 1 are to be provided: (a) before carrying out building work or operational work, reconfiguring a lot or making a material change of use that is assessable or self-assessable under the planning scheme; and, (b) where the planning scheme identifies that the use or development requires the provision of works in accordance with this policy. (3) In this section: (a) ‘1.2m wide’, in relation to a footpath or footway, means a concrete footpath not less than 1.2 metres wide, or 2.5 metres wide where a combined footway/bikeway is required; (b) ‘full width’, in relation

First Published: 1917 583.42 Australian Etext Collections at botany prose nonfiction 1910-1939 Critical revision of the genus eucalyptus volume 3 (Government Botanist of New South Wales and Director of the Botanic Gardens, Sydney) “Ages are spent in collecting materials, ages more in separating and combining them. Even when a system has been formed, there is still something to add, to alter, or to reject. Every generation enjoys the use of a vast hoard bequeathed to it by antiquity, and transmits that hoard, augmented by fresh acquisitions, to future ages. In these pursuits, therefore, the first speculators lie under great disadvantages, and, even when they fail, are entitled to praise.” Macaulay's “Essay on Milton” Sydney William Applegate Gullick, Government Printer 1917 Part 21 CXIII.

  • Newsletter No.33
    Dear members, Firstly, I must apologise for the lateness of this newsletter but I have been awaiting receipt of details of the report on " New combinations in MelaIezrca for Australian smcies ofCalllis~ernon ( Myrtaceae. ) ". A copy of the current changes is attached. A number of specific epithets have been changed but some species have had only the genus name changed. Callistemon viminalis has been oflcially recognisedpreviously as Melaluuca viminalis. Callistemon citrinus has likewise been previously recognised and is now M. citrina. Lyn Craven is currently working on apaper describing a few new species of callistemons in Melaleuca. Lyn suggeste that horticulturalists continue to use " callistemon" as the common name. Have fun getting used to the new names!! It is still very dry here but we don't have that all on our own. There appears to be many parts of Australia in more dire straits than we are. We have only lost a couple ofplants so far. It has been amazing how most have hung on with virtually no additional water. Callistemons , or Melaleucas as they will be known in future, appear to be one of the toughest as they are stillflowering happily along despite the lack of moisture. We have had more flowers on the Callistemons this year than I can recall in previous years. Callistemonplants are still lookingfiesh and green and have lost very few leaves when compared to some species fiom other genera - Eucalyptus, Lophostemon, Backhousia and Syzygiium to name a few. We have been able to keep our fern garden going so far with use of washing machine water etc.
