56.      The relevant section of the Brisbane City Council (BCC) service station code (9.3.21) is
         set out below. It concerns the required separation distance between fuel dispensing
         areas and a sensitive use zone (which includes a school I'):


                Performance Outcome 7
                Development:
                (a) is located a sufficient distance from dwellings to maintain residential amenity in
                adjoining, adjacent or surrounding areas;
                (b) ovoids or minimises air emissions, including the installation of vapour recovery
                systems;
                (c) complies with the following criteria at a sensitive zone or a sensitive use:
                (i) air quality planning criteria in Table 9.3.21.3.015;
                (ii) odour criteria in Table 9.3.21.3.E.
                Note-An air quality impact report prepared in accordance with the Air quality planning
                scheme policy can assist in demonstrating achievement of this performance outcome.

                Acceptable Outcome 7.2
                Development:
                (a) if the annual throughput does not exceed 1.2ML offuel ensures fuel-dispensing areas and
                vents are not located within 10m of a sensitive use or a sensitive zone;
                (b) if the annual thraughput is between 1.2ML and 9ML offuel, ensures fuel dispensing areas
                and vents are not located within Sam of a sensitive use;
                (c) if the annual throughput does not exceed 12ML offuel:
                (i) is fitted with Stage 1 and Stage 2 vapour recovery equipment in compliance with the air
                quality section of the Storageand dispensingof petroleum products planning scheme policy;
                (Ii)ensures fuel-dispensing areas and vents are not lacated within 20m of a sensitive use or a
                sensitive zone;
                (d) if the annual thraughput exceeds 12ML, no acceptable outcome is prescribed.

                Editor's note-"Fuel" means motor spirit, including petral, premium unleaded petral and
                ethanol blend but excluding diesel.

57.      The developers have conveniently not informed us as to what the estimated annual
         throughput    of motor spirit will be with respect to the proposed service station.
         However, based on the information         provided it is reasonable to expect the annual
         throughput of motor spirit could exceed 12ML.


58.      Accordingly, based on the BCCService Station code Acceptable Outcome 7.2(d), if the
         annual throughput of motor spirit for the proposed service station does exceed 12ML,
         there is no acceptable outcome that is prescribed.            Further, no air quality impact
         report has been prepared in accordance with the Air Quality Planning Scheme policy
         substantiating the developers claim that the 25m setback is sufficient.
