Helitak MCU App - Planning Report

PO2
Industry activities are of a type, scale and intensity that is consistent with the zone, locality and
character of the area in which it is located.

PO3
Industry activities contribute to the local economy and employment in the area in which it is located.

PO10
Industry activities are conducted in an environmentally responsible manner, operating without
deleterious impacts on immediate, surrounding or downstream communities, environments or
environmental processes.

The proposal is located with access to all infrastructure that is required for the use to occur. An
approved effluent disposal system exists on site with the land application area located above the
flood extent.

The shed is located behind another non-agricultural use (Wimmers) and is not seen from Lake
Macdonald Drive or from any of the adjoining properties. The proposal is not a high intensity use and
generates less traffic than the previous agricultural uses that have occurred on site.

The shed is existing within the riparian buffer and the small new office is located within the general
footprint of the area and is where carparking used to occur. The use will not impact on environmental
values of the site nor any of the potential agricultural pursuits. The proposal uses a very limited
amount of hazardous material which can be easily located higher than flood levels when needed.

The development meets the provisions of the Industry Activities Code as the site is serviced by all
the required infrastructure, is of a scale no greater than previous agricultural activities and will not
have any deleterious environmental affects.

7.8 Driveways and Parking Code

An existing road base carparking area for more than 20 vehicles provides parking in excess of the
code provisions. A circular driveway exists for safe access of delivery and waste collection. The
development meets the minimum quantity of carparking required by the planning scheme as
outlined in Table 9.4.1.4 and AO6.2 of the Code.



7.9 Waste Management Code

The nature of the business is that there is a minimum quantity of waste generated with the tanks
made from carbon fibre and heavy duty vinyl. Therefore, only 1 x 3m³ industrial waste bin is required
to be collected every second week.
