Draft Palm Island State Planning Regulatory Provision 1

Division 1 – Preliminary

(a) Short Title This draft State Planning Regulatory Provision may be cited as the Draft Palm Island

State Planning Regulatory Provision 2015 (draft SPRP).

(b) Definitions Terms not defined in the SPRP have the meaning given in the Sustainable Planning

Act 2009 (SPA) and the Queensland Planning Provisions (QPP).

(c) Expiry of the final SPRP The final SPRP will cease to have effect on the earlier of 31 August 2016, or the date

of the adoption of the Palm Island Aboriginal Shire Planning Scheme.

(d) Why this SPRP is necessary This SPRP addresses a significant risk of serious environmental harm and/or serious

adverse cultural, economic and/or social conditions associated with natural hazards

occurring in or near the Palm Island planning scheme area (the Palm Island Local

Government Area) in circumstances where a direction to the Palm Island Aboriginal

Shire Council under section 126 of SPA is not the most appropriate way to address the

risk.


Division 2 – Development within the Palm Island Local Government Area

a) Area to which this draft SPRP applies

This draft SPRP applies to land located in the Palm Island Local Government Area as

identified on the Zoning and Hazard Overlay Maps in Appendix 1.

b) Effect of this draft SPRP

The SPRP applies to development applications for Reconfiguring a Lot, Carrying out

Operational Work and Making a Material Change of Use of Premises in the Palm Island

Local Government Area and prescribed by the following tables of assessment. Maps

outlining the zone areas and overlays and the codes prescribed for assessment are

contained in Appendices 1 and 2.

The SPRP is to be used in conjunction with the interim development assessment

provisions and mapping of the State Planning Policy (SPP) when assessing a

development application.

Palm Island Aboriginal Council will be an advice agency for the purposes of

development assessment under the SPRP.

Appendix 2

2.1 Reconfiguring a Lot and Operational Works Code

This code applies to assessing all development applications for reconfiguring a lot and carrying out operational works identified in the Tables of Assessment. The purpose of the Reconfiguring a Lot and Operational Works Code is to ensure that development in the Palm Island Local Government Area is located, designed and managed in a safe and efficient manner. The code further ensures the development of new lots avoids and or mitigates the impacts of natural hazards.

The purpose of the code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:

(1) Reconfiguring a lot avoids natural hazard areas or mitigates the risk of the natural hazard

to an acceptable or tolerable level;

(2) New lots do not directly or indirectly and cumulatively increase the severity of the natural

hazard and the potential for damage on the site or to other properties; and

(3) New lots do not place people in areas of risk of natural hazard unless the risk can be

mitigated to an acceptable or tolerable level.

Editor’s Note: land identified as a bushfire prone area on SPP mapping – Hazards and Safety, Natural Hazards Risk and Resilience is designated as the bushfire prone area for the purposes of section 12 of the Building Regulations 2006. The bushfire prone area includes land covered by the very high, high and medium potential bushfire intensity areas as well as the potential bushfire hazard area on SPP mapping – Hazards and Safety, Natural Hazards Risk and Resilience. Land identified as a flood hazard area on SPP mapping – Hazards and Safety, Natural Hazards Risk and Resilience is designated as the flood hazard area for the purpose of section 13 of the Building Regulations 2006.

Assessment Criteria – Reconfiguring a Lot and Operational Works

Performance Outcome Acceptable Outcome

PO1 Where reconfiguration within the General residential zone, existing buildings and structures are set back to any new property boundary in accordance with the Queensland Development Code.

No Acceptable Outcome.

PO2 The reconfiguration enables proposed buildings and/or structures to avoid easements.

AO2.1 No new lots are created where proposed buildings and/or structures cannot be constructed due to existing or planned underground or above ground infrastructure.

PO3 Where located in the General residential zone new lots:

(a) provide a mix of lot sizes for

residential accommodation options;

(b) provide lot proportions adequate for

activities and works associated with

the proposed use.

AO3.1 Lots have a minimum:

(a) lot size of 350m2;

(b) road frontage of 10m; and

(c) allowance for a rectangular building

footprint of 8m x 15m.



PO4 Where located in the General residential zone rear lots are designed and developed to provide safe access and adequate proportions to ensure any structures can comply with boundary setback requirements under the Queensland Development Code.

AO4.1 Rear lots have:

(a) a minimum lot size 500m2 ; and

(b) an access strip with a minimum width

of 4m, a minimum seal width 2.5m;

and a maximum length of 40m.

AO5.1 Lots in the Rural zone have a minimum lot size of 5ha.

PO6 Where located in the Recreation and open space zone sufficient useable area for proposed activities include:

(a) car parking requirements;

(b) vehicle manoeuvring;

(c) required setbacks; and

(d) landscape buffers.


PO7 Where located in the Industry zone:

(a) new lots provide lot proportions

adequate for activities and works

associated with the proposed use; and

(b) no rear lots are created.

AO7.1 Lots have a minimum:

(a) lot size of 1000m2; and

(b) road frontage of 20m.

AO7.2 No rear lots are created.

PO8 Where located in the Environmental management and conservation zone new lots:

(a) provide proportions for activities and

works associated with the proposed

use; and

(b) provide a road for safe and convenient

vehicle and pedestrian access.

AO8.1 New lots located outside of the Family Camp precinct, have a minimum size of 60ha. OR Where located within the Family Camp precinct, no Acceptable Outcome is

prescribed.



PO9 New lots are created where:

(a) the long term stability of the site can

be maintained; and

(b) development of the site will not be

adversely affected by landslide activity

or cause landslide risk to people and

property.

AO9.1 No new lots are created where the existing slope of the land is 15 per cent or greater.

PO10 No new lots are created on land subject to flooding up to and including an Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) of 1 per cent.

AO10.1 Where a new lot is proposed in the Flood Hazard Investigation area and local verification has not occurred a flood study is required to be undertaken by a suitably qualified person and the report addresses the State interest and tolerable risk.

PO11 Where the proposed lot is located in a designated bushfire prone area, including a potential bushfire hazard area on the SPP mapping – Hazards and Safety, Natural Hazards Risk and Resilience, the reconfiguration does not involve premises identified as being greater than low risk.

AO11.1 No new lots are created where located in a designated bushfire prone area, including a potential bushfire hazard area on the SPP mapping – Hazards and Safety, Natural Hazards Risk and Resilience without a bushfire risk evaluation being undertaken.

PO12 New lots are designed to respond to the potential threat of bushfire and establish clear evacuation routes which demonstrate an acceptable or tolerable risk to people.

AO12 The lot layout:

(a) minimises the length of the

development perimeter exposed to, or

adjoining hazardous vegetation;

(b) avoids the creation of potential bottle-

neck points in the movement network;

(c) establishes direct access to a safe

assembly /evacuation area in the

event of an approaching bushfire; and

(d) ensures roads likely to be used in the

event of a fire are designed to

minimise traffic congestion.

Editor’s note: For example, developments should avoid finger-like or hour-glass subdivision patterns or substantive vegetated corridors between lots. In order to demonstrate compliance with the performance outcome, a bushfire management plan prepared by a suitably qualified person may be required. The bushfire management plan should be developed in accordance with the Public Safety Business Agency (PSBA) guideline entitled “Undertaking a Bushfire Protection Plan.

Advice from the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) should be sought as appropriate.

PO13 Newly created lots do not unduly burden disaster management response or recovery capacity and capabilities.




PO14 Filling or excavation:

(a) minimises site disturbance; (b) adequately controls water and

sediment runoff; (c) manages the risk of erosion (d) does not result in adverse impacts on

adjoining land.

AO14.1 Filling or excavation:

(a) does not exceed a maximum of one metre vertical change in natural ground level at any point; and

(b) does not cause ponding on the premises or adjoining land.

Infrastructure PO15 New lots located in a reticulated water area are connected to the reticulated water supply system;

OR

New lots located outside a reticulated water area each lot is provided with an alternative potable water supply source with adequate storage capacity.


PO16 New lots located in sewered areas are connected to the sewerage service.

OR

New lots located outside a sewered area, each lot provides for an effluent treatment and disposal system in accordance with the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code.


PO17 New lots are connected to an electricity supply network and a telecommunications network in accordance with the service provider’s requirements.


PO18 No new lots are to be created where proposed buildings and structures cannot be constructed due to existing or planned underground or above ground infrastructure.

AO18.1 The reconfiguration enables proposed buildings and structures to avoid easements including trunk sewer lines.

Access PO19 Reconfigurations provide new lots with lawful, safe and practical access to the existing road network.

AO19.1 Each lot has:

(a) access with direct road frontage, or (b) an access strip (for a rear lot) to a

road.



PO20 Where access to a lot is proposed via an access strip the access strip is designed and constructed in accordance with FNQROC Regional Development Manual.


Acid Sulfate Soils PO21 Development only occurs if people, the environment, and infrastructure are not subject to unacceptable risks from the impacts of acid sulfate soils and potential acid sulfate soils.

AO21.1Operational works on land identified as potential acid sulfate soils within the Landslide and Potential Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Map in Appendix 1 do not involve:

(a) excavation or removal of 100m3 or more of soil or sediment; or

(b) filling of land with 500m3 or more of material with an average depth of 0.5m of a metre or greater.


2.2 General Development Code This code applies to assessing development applications for making a material change of use of premises if identified in the Tables of Assessment.

The purpose of the General Development Code is to ensure that development in Palm Island Local Government Area is located, designed and managed in a safe and efficient manner.

The purpose of the code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes: (1) Development has a safe and efficient site layout; (2) Development does not detract from the Palm Island Local Government Area unique

building design, is complementary to the scale of neighbouring uses, and contributes to the character of the street and the locality;

(3) Development on local heritage places: (a) does not result in the demolition or removal of a local heritage place, unless there is

no prudent and feasible alternative; (b) conserves the physical features, fabric and contents that contribute to the cultural

heritage significance of the local heritage place; and (c) safeguards archaeology and archaeological potential, and ensures they are

appropriately investigated and artefacts appropriately managed; (4) An appropriate level of servicing and infrastructure is provided to new development and is

connected to Palm Island Aboriginal Council infrastructure where available; (5) The site layout protects adjoining amenity, allows access around the building, allows

sufficient areas for parking and manoeuvring on the site and safe and efficient access and egress;
