Delegated Report - Code - Planning MCU26 0060 (As Published)

               Acceptable Outcome AO8 of the Recreation Activities Code seeks: AO8 An operation
               management plan is provided for a Major sport, recreation and entertainment facility or Outdoor
               sport and recreation facilities outlining how the activity will minimise adverse impacts including:
                      •       noise mitigation and noise management protocols;
                      •       safety and security measures;
                      •       crowd control;
                      •       lighting; and
                      •       waste management and collection
               The applicant has submitted an operational management plan and code of conduct which outlines
               management strategies to management any potential nuisances.
               No lighting is proposed to be provided, and no waste will be generated onsite.
               The proposed location of the facility is approximately 75-100 metres from the nearest residential
               property along Lake Macdonald Drive. Onsite operations are limited to training purposes only, no
               events are proposed. The hours from sunrise to 9:30am and 3:30pm to sunset, seven (7) days a
               week.
               Further to this, the applicant has submitted: The site will be used solely for training purposes. No
               events, regattas, competitions, or large public gatherings are proposed. This commitment
               substantially limits activity intensity and eliminates noise sources typically associated with event-
               based operations, such as crowd noise, public address systems, or coordinated large group
               activities. Training will occur on an individual basis, resulting in predictable, controlled, and low-
               level noise emissions that do not exceed the existing background noise typical of a public park
               environment
               The proposed temporary relocation of the Lake Macdonald Rowing Club is expected to generate
               negligible noise, with any noise emitted being comparable to, or less than, the existing ambient
               noise environment within the park and botanical garden setting. Noise associated with the activity
               will be intermittent, low level, and consistent with sounds reasonably expected within a publicly
               accessible open space. Furthermore, the proposed use will be limited to operate during daytime
               hours so as not to cause nuisance to nearby sensitive receptors.
               A Rowing Queensland – aligned Code of Conduct will be implemented and prominently displayed
               on site. The Code includes explicit provisions addressing behavioural expectations and noise
               awareness, requiring all participants to act respectfully and minimise disturbance to nearby
               residential areas. This management measure ensures continual user awareness and reinforces
               compliance with noise-sensitive practices without the need for additional technical mitigation.
               The applicant has demonstrated compliance with the Acceptable Outcome and will be conditioned
               accordingly.
               Biodiveristy, Waterways and Wetlands
               The subject site is identified within the riparian buffer of the Biodiveristy, Waterways and Wetlands
               Overlay Code. The proposed area for storage is located in an existing disturbed area alongside a
               concrete pathway on mown lawn. The proposed use is a temporary use to facilitate access to the
               water during relevant infrastructure works to the dam. On completion of works the site will be
               required to reinstated to its pre-existing condition and will be conditioned accordingly.
               Flood Hazard
               The subject site is identified within the Flood Hazard Overlay as being susceptible to flooding and
               inundation. However, as part of the SEQwater project, the water level was lowered by
               approximately 2 metres below full supply level to facilitate required infrastructure works. It is
               considered unlikely that a flood event would impact the proposed structure.
               Notwithstanding this, should the structure be affected by a flood event, no outdoor storage would
               be permitted, and all buildings and structures would be required to obtain the relevant building
               approvals. Accordingly, the potential impacts of the proposed development’s vulnerability in a flood
               event and impacts on the waterway are considered minimal and can be appropriately conditioned.

                                                                                                       Page 8 of 13
