               Planning and Managing Development Involving Acid Sulfate Soils

State Planning Policy 2/02 sets out the State Government’s interest concerning development involving acid
sulfate soils in low-lying coastal areas. Development subject to acid sulfate soils should be planned and
managed to avoid potential adverse effects on the natural and built environment (including infrastructure)
and human health.


This State Planning Policy applies to all land, soil and sediment at or below 5m AHD where the natural

ground level is less than 20m AHD. Within this area, SPP 2/02 applies to development involving any of the
following activities:

        excavating or otherwise removing 100m3 or more of soil or sediment; or
        filling of land involving 500m3 or more of material with an average depth of 0.5 of a metre or
        greater.


No excavation or filling works are proposed as part of this redevelopment.


SPP 1/02   -

               Development in the Vicinity of Certain Airports and Aviation Facilities

State Planning Policy 1/02 sets out the State Government’s interest concerning development in the vicinity
of those airports and aviation facilities considered essential for the State’s transport infrastructure or the
national defence system. The proposed development of the Subject Site is not of a scale that will adversely
affect the safety and operational efficiency of airports and aviation facilities, will not result in a significant
increase of the numbers of people adversely affected by significant aircraft noise nor result in a risk to public

safety near the ends of airport runways.

SPP 1/92   -

               Development and the Conservation of Agricultural Land

State Planning Policy 1/92 addresses the conservation of Good Quality Agricultural Land (GQAL)and provides

guidance to local authorities on how this issue should be addressed when carrying out their range of
planning duties. GQAL is land which is capable of sustainable use of agriculture, with a reasonable level of
inputs, and without causing degradation of land or other natural resources.

The Queensland Government recognises that GQAL is a finite State resource that must be conserved and

managed for the longer term. As a general aim, the exercise of planning powers should be used to protect
such land from those developments that lead to its alienation or diminished productivity. The Subject Site is
not currently used for or is considered appropriate for agricultural activities.
