TOHILL 26-10-2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The subject site; 70 Park Road, Yeronga (also described as Lot 3 on SP300888) forms the Yeronga Priority Development Area (PDA). The PDA is approximately three hectares and includes parts of Villa Street and Park Road in Yeronga. The redevelopment of the site facilitates the construction of a new community centre for Yeronga as well as opportunities to support residential development, small-scale retail and improved active transport. This report has been prepared by Wolter Consulting Group on behalf of Economic Development Qld in support of the proposed development to conduct operational works for clearing of significant vegetation over the land. The subject site has undergone extensive testing and investigation during demolition works. Through testing it was identified that a number of areas on the land parcel were underlain by construction and demolition (C&D) waste, which contained fibro fragments. The fibro fragments were tested and confirmed to contain Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM). Under a previous approval (DEV2019/1051) given by the Minister for Economic Development Queensland (MEDQ), operational works for filling and excavation and vegetation clearing have been undertaken, however additional testing has identified that further works are required to remediate the site to facilitate future development in line with the PDA Development Scheme. Therefore, to meet legislative obligations and to ensure the site is properly cleared of contaminated materials, the site will be appropriately emptied of ACM and treated. The location of the supplementary earthworks encumber potentially significant vegetation in the northern portion of the site. Subsequently, this application seeks a development permit for operational works to enable the removal of significant vegetation associated with decontamination earthworks. The proposal will continue to facilitate the intent of the PDA to be remediated and developed in the future, in accordance with the Yeronga Development Scheme. This report provides an analysis of the suitability of the proposed development within the local context and with regard to relevant planning provisions and is suitable development for the location, remaining consistent with the community’s expectations. Consequently, the development is recommended to be approved, subject to relevant and reasonable conditions. Planning Report Page | i TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.
