PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  10 DECEMBER 2019


Locality Provisions
The subject site is located in the Tewantin and Doonan Locality and is zoned Attached Housing.
The proposed use is identified as an inconsistent use with the zone and is required to follow an
impact assessable application process.
The proposed use is located within an existing building which has previously been approved for
business uses. The proposed reuse of the existing office building is appropriate and impacts of
the proposed use, with the exception of car parking, is considered consistent with the previously
approved use for the site. As no changes are proposed to the existing building the built form
development parameters established under this code are not applicable.
Land Use & Works Provisions
The application has been assessed against applicable codes. The pertinent issues arising out of
the assessment against the codes are discussed below:

Code             Discussion

Community Use    The code’s overall outcomes, in part, seek:
Code
                  Community Uses are conveniently located, without placing unacceptable burdens
                      on local infrastructure

                  Community Uses offer safe environments for users and operators.
                 Further, the code’s Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions, in part, seek:

                  The use does not have an adverse impact on the safety and efficiency of the road
                      network; and

                  The surrounding road system is capable of accommodating additional traffic
                      generated by the proposal.

Driveways and    The code’s overall outcomes, in part, seek:
Carparking
Code              Development minimises the environmental and social impacts of transport on the
                      urban environment

                  Development ensures that vehicle access to the development does not
                      compromise the capacity and safety of the road system

                  Development does not increase the scale of the road network beyond that
                      currently planned.
                 Further, the codes Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions, in part, seek:

                  Sufficient carparking is provided to accommodate the number of vehicles likely to
                      be generated by the development having regard to the specifics of the use
                      including:
                      o   The type and intensity of land use
                      o   Any existing parking available on the site
                      o   Hours of operation
                      o   Likely numbers of users
                      o   The peak parking demand periods of uses on the site; and
                      o   The availability of alternative carparking.

                  Development access does not compromise the functions of particular roads as
                      indicated in the road hierarchy, and does not adversely impact on the safety,
                      capacity and operations of the road system.
