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
                                                                        14
         areas and a sensitive use zone (which includes a schooI          ):




                Performonce Outcome 7
                Development:
                (0) is locoted a sufficient distonce from dwellings to mointoin residential omenity in
                adjoining, adjacent or surrounding areas;
                (b) avoids or minimises air emissions, including the instollatian of vapour recovery
                systems;
                (c) complies with the fallowing 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 nat exceed 1.2ML of fuel ensures fuel-dispensing areas and
                vents are not located within 10m of 0 sensitive use or 0 sensitive zone;
                (b) if the annual throughput is between 1.2ML and 9ML affuel, ensures fuel dispensing oreas
                and vents are nat located within SOm of a sensitive use;
                (c) if the annual throughput daes nat exceed 12ML affuel:
                (i) is fitted with Stage 1 and Stage 2 vapour recovery equipment in compliance with the air
                quality section of the Storage and dispensing of petroleum products planning scheme policy;
                (ii) ensures fuel-dispensing areas and vents are not located within 20m of a sensitive use or a
                sensitive zane;
                (d) if the annual throughput exceeds 12ML, na acceptable outcome is prescribed.

                Editor's note-"Fuel"   means motor spirit, including petrol, premium           unleaded petrol 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 BCC Service 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.
