The application is Impact Assessable and three (3) properly made submissions objecting to the proposal were received. The submissions raised a number of concerns on what were relevant planning matters, although all matters are able to be conditioned to achieve compliance with the Mackay City Planning Scheme and Draft Mackay Region Planning Scheme. The application is recommended for approval. Subject Site and Surrounds The subject site (the site) is located in Ooralea, approximately four (4) kilometres (as the crow flies) south-west of the Mackay central business district. It is a triangular shaped battle-axe allotment and contains an area of 1,878m². With the exception of the eastern boundary of the site which accommodates a three (3) metre high acoustic fence which was constructed at time of subdivision, the site is unimproved (refer Attachment B – Site Plan). The site is not encumbered by any easements, although a 150mm dia. sewer main is located along the frontage of the battle-axe handle. It is in general flat and located at RL10m AHD. The full range of urban infrastructure is connected to and/or capable of being connected to the site. It has a ten (10) metre frontage to Makybe Diva Drive, identified as an Access Street in the vicinity of Lot 50 according to the Mackay Roads Hierarchy. The site is bound by similarly zoned allotments to the north, south and west. Located to the east, on the opposite side of the Bruce Highway, is Industry (High Impact) zoned land. However, the immediate surrounding area is comprised of a mix of zones including Higher Density Residential to the south; Sport and Recreation (Ooralea race track) to the west and Industry (High and Low Impact) and Rural to the north. Proposal The applicant proposes to construct five (5) Multiple Dwelling Units on the subject site (refer to Attachment C - Proposal Plans). All five (5) dwellings will be two (2) stories and comprise of: two (2) bedrooms; two (2) bathrooms; combined living and dining room; single lock up garage; and outdoor alfresco area. Each dwelling will have a footprint of approximately 70m² and a total gross floor area (GFA) of between 127m² and 132m². This equates to a total GFA on site of approximately 650m² and site coverage of 19%. The dwellings will have a maximum height of approximately seven (7) meters with an eaves height on the second story of 5.2 meters. MIN/13.11.2013 FOLIO 30263 FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 13 NOVEMBER 2013 Private open space has been provided for each dwelling as follows: Unit 1: 161m², Unit 2: 41m²; Unit 3: 41; Unit 4: 112; and Unit 5: 276m². Refuse areas, rain water tanks and clothes lines have been dedicated within the open space areas for each dwelling. A 30 metre long driveway will be provided within the access handle to service the dwellings, while landscaping has been proposed as per the landscaping plan (Refer to Attachment C - Proposal Plans). Finally, two (2) visitor car parks are also proposed. PLANNING SCHEME ASSESSMENT Mackay Frame Locality Code The proposal complies with the specific outcomes of the Mackay Frame Locality Code. The subject site is affected by the following applicable Overlay Codes: Landscape Character (Image Corridors) Overlay Code The proposal complies with the specific outcomes of the Landscape Character (Image Corridors) Overlay Code. In addition to the above Overlay Codes, the application has been assessed against the entire Mackay City Planning Scheme, with particular reference to the following, applicable codes: Environment and Infrastructure Code; and Multiple Dwellings, Accommodation Units and Dual Occupancy Code. The proposal complies with the specific outcomes of the Environment and Infrastructure Code. With the exception of the matters of non-compliance discussed below, all of which are considered discretion can be shown for and/or conditioned to achieve compliance with, the proposal generally complies with the Multiple Dwellings, Accommodation Units and Dual Occupancy Code. Multiple Dwellings, Accommodation Units and Dual Occupancy Code 1. Land Suitability – P1 Multiple dwellings, accommodation units and dual occupancies are: (iii): “not subject to any sources of unacceptable odour, noise or other pollution” The site abuts the Bruce Highway, although the acoustic report provided with the application outlines the requirements necessary to ensure all indoor and outdoor noise levels meet the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy (2008) requirements (refer to Attachment D – Acoustic Report). MIN/13.11.2013 FOLIO 30264 FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 13 NOVEMBER 2013 2. Land Suitability - P3 P3: "For Accommodation Units and Multiple Dwelling Units, the premises have vehicular access from a street other than from an Access Place or Access Street" The proposed development achieves access via an Access Street. Traffic Volumes: The northern half of Makybe Diva Drive has a 15m wide road reserve and is designed as an Access Street which is capable of accommodating the traffic associated with up to 75 dwellings. The northern half of Makybe Diva Drive currently contains 28 dwellings. The southern half of Makybe Diva Drive is identified as a Minor Collector which has capacity to accommodate 300 dwellings. It is therefore, considered that Makybe Diva Drive has sufficient capacity for a further five (5) dwellings. Parking: The proposed development has provided twelve (12) car parking spaces on site which equates to 1.2 spaces per bedroom. The twelve (12) spaces is two (2) more spaces than is required under the current Mackay City Planning Scheme and six (6) more than would be required under the Draft Mackay Regional Planning Scheme. 3. Communal and Private Open Space - P1 P1: "For dwelling units, communal open space and any associated facilities are provided, unless otherwise specified in the relevant Locality Code, to suit: (i) The overall residential density; (ii) The type of activity; (iii) Maintenance requirements; (iv) The privacy of nearby dwelling units; and (v) Informal surveillance and security needs". No Communal Open Space (COS) has been provided for the development. However, due to the large amount of private open space that has been provided for each dwelling, combined with the fact that open space is within walking distance of the site (550m to the north & 700m to the south), it is recommended that COS is not required. It is also considered unreasonable to provide COS for such a small development.
