Development Application part 2 Report and Plans MCU13/0052

For these reasons, the proposed development complies with the Natural Hazards Area
Code and further assessment is not considered necessary.




7.2.8 Natural Resources Overlay Code

The subject site is identified as containing ’Agricultural Land Conservation Areas’ within
the Natural Resources Overlay (refer to Figure 6.7).The Overall Outcomes relevant to the
subject site are as follows:

a) for agricultural land conservation areas-
  I.     the use of good quality agricultural land for agriculture is not adversely affected by
         other forms of development; and
 II.     uses that are able to be located elsewhere do not locate within agricultural land

        conservation areas;
                                                                                                    ,   t




Compliance
The site is identified on the Natural Resources Overlay as containing Agricultural Land
Conservation Areas (ALGA). However, the proposed facility is located approximately 300
m   north of the ALGA and not located within a Coastal Protection Area. Furthermore, the
establishment of the proposed facility will occupy a relatively small lease area (70 m2) of
the total 106ha site   area      and has been located   on   the   periphery of the site to avoid
interference. The proposed telecommunication facility will not affect the current or future
agricultural practices on site as the proposal is not for a habitable or sensitive land use. If
the facility is no longer operation l the site can be easily decommissioned and the land
rehabilitated. As such, the proposed development will not result in the disturbance of
agricultural land conservation areas and reflects the State Planning Policy 1/12 Protection
of Queensland’s Strategic Cropping Land.
