Town Planning Report - 22 November 2018 - Final

 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning
 advice”



Water Quality:
In terms of environmental values and the quality of Queensland waters, the reconfiguring a lot is for
an urban purpose that involves premises 2500m² or greater in size and will result in six or more lots.
The ultimate design of the development will provide stormwater treatment during construction and
for the treatment of sealed areas once developed, this being subject to further development
applications and approvals.
Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience:
The subject land is identified as being subject to bushfire. As discussed above, the site is ultimately to
be cleared to allow for development. The removal of the vegetation eliminates the potential risk from
bushfire other than for development within Precinct E7, which adjoins public open space areas and to
a lesser extent Precincts E2 and E6. The matter of bushfire management will be required to be
addressed with the subsequent applications addressing the necessary building setbacks and other
infrastructure required to minimise the risk to people and property.
Energy and Water Supply:
The subject land contains an electricity supply easement along the eastern boundary which contains
major overhead electricity supply infrastructure. It is not expected that the proposed development
would have any adverse impact upon the existing electricity supply infrastructure, with the application
being referred to Energex in any event (refer Figure 7).
Transport Infrastructure:
In terms of the active transport corridor the transport infrastructure and existing and future transport
corridors are reflected and will be supported through compatible land uses. The proposed
development is consistent with proposed transport infrastructure intended for the SBC (refer Figure
7).


Infrastructure Charges
Ordinarily, infrastructure charges would be payable under the Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution
(No.3) 2018, for the proposed development; however, under part 10.3 of the Infrastructure Agreement,
no other infrastructure charges are payable with exception for water supply and sewerage
infrastructure. This is provided the proposed development does not exceed the intensity of
development envisaged under Master Plan 2, which forms Annexure 5 of the Infrastructure Agreement
(Attachment 2). The proposed reconfiguring a lot is consistent with the SBC Map and the former
Master Plan 2.

It is noted that under part 10.4. of the Infrastructure Agreement, the applicant is required to pay
infrastructure charges for water supply and sewerage, this being equivalent to water supply and
sewerage headworks under former contributions policy. At the time of providing the sewerage pump
station for the first stage, Council provided a letter dated 23 May 2007, giving a credit for sewerage
infrastructure charges for future stages of the SBC based on the overall percentage of loading
attributable to the adjoining site owned by Tetrex the time (refer Attachment 3). On this basis an
amount of up to $59,548 would be allowed as at May 2007. While this is now a matter for Unitywater,
it is hoped that this credit will be taken into consideration for any infrastructure charges payable for
water supply and sewerage.
