Development Application part 2 Report and Plans MCU13/0053

For these reasons, the proposed development is considered to comply with the Natural
Hazards Area Code and further assessment is not considered necessary.




7.2.8 Natural Resources Overlay Code

The subject site is id~ntified as containing ’Agricultural Land Conservation Areas’ within
the Natural Resources Overlay (refer to Figure 6.7).The Overall Outcomes relevant to the
subject site are as follows:

a) for agricultural land conservation areas-
  I.     the use of good quality agricultural land for agriculture is not adversely affected by
         other forms of development; and
 II.     uses that are able to be located elsewhere do not locate within agricultural land

          conservation areas;


Compliance
The site is identified on the Natural Resources Overlay as containing Agricultural Land
Conservation Areas (ALCA)however the proposed facility is located approximately 600 m
to the south east of the ALCA and            not located within   a   Coastal Protection Area.
Furthermore, the establishment of the proposed facility will occupy a relatively small lease
area (80 m2) of the total 106ha site area and has been 10Gated on the periphery of the site

to avoid interference. The proposed use for a telecommunication facility will not affect the
current   or   future   agricultural practices site as the proposal is not for a habitable or
sensitive land use, and if the facility is no longer operational the site can be easily
decommissioned and the land rehabilitated. As such, the proposed development will not
result in the disturbance of agricultural land conservation       areas   and reflects the State
Planning Policy 1/12 Protection of Queensland’s Strategic Cropping Land.
