2016-07-12 - Item 13 - Att 1 - Extractive Resources and Mineral Planning Study 2016

The draft Amendments are currently with the Department of Local Government and Planning
awaiting approval. See Appendix 5 for the draft amendments.



3.6.2    Recommendations for new planning scheme
As already noted, the new planning scheme must integrate state interests with the recommended
approach outlined in section 3.4.3.

To adequately assess extractive industry and ensure sensitive landuses are not impacted by local
resources and mining it is recommended the new planning scheme:

       Identify local resource processing areas, separation areas and transport routes in the
        Extractive Resources and Mining Overlay code with relevant local provisions.

       Include measures in the planning scheme to avoid conflicts between mining resource
        development and haulage routes with other land uses, such as identification of local
        resource areas and buffers. Consideration should also be given to demand for the resource
        and other competing landuses for the site.

       Prepare an Extractive Industry use code - including specific measures for site planning,
        separation and amenity,      noise, vibration, transport routes, access and vehicle
        manoeuvring, separation distances, site drainage and stormwater management,
        landscaping, management of operations, hours of operation public safety and site
        rehabilitation.

Note: Recommendations for the identification of local resources in the planning scheme are
identified in section 4.




4. Site assessment
An assessment of the local resource areas and mining leases currently identified in The Noosa
Plan 2006 has been undertaken and recommendations made with regard to their inclusion or not in
the new planning scheme.

A discussion on the key resource areas in section 4.1 is also included for information purposes
only, as the SPP requires that KRAs be reflected in the planning scheme.
