Planning Scheme Policies/Infrastructure Charges Plan
The following planning scheme policies are relevant to the application: No. 2 - FNQROC Development Manual This policy applies to the proposal and is generally achieved through conditions and any resulting operational works. No. 4 – Water Supply Policy This policy is applicable to the application and requires the development to be connected to an approved water supply source (including a 90,000L water tank storage capacity). No. 5 – Road Policy Almost all of the vehicle traffic associated with the proposed use will access the development via the state controlled Tumoulin Road and a short, 250 m long section of Kaban Road. Kaban Road is already constructed to an appropriate 6.5m wide bitumen standard in accordance with the requirements of the Development Manual and on that basis, a roadworks contribution cannot reasonably be imposed. REFERRALS Concurrence The application triggered referral to Department of State Development Infrastructure & Planning (Department of Transport & Main Roads) as a Concurrence Agency. That Department advised in a letter dated 12 March 2014 that they require the conditions to be attached to any approval (Attachment 2). Advice This application did not trigger referral to any Advice Agencies. Internal Consultation Advice and input regarding operational conditions of approval to include for the workshop was sought from Council’s Environmental Health Officer. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION The development proposal was placed on public notification from 22 April 2014 to 16 May 2014. The applicant submitted the notice of compliance on 19 May 2014 advising that the public notification requirements were carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Act. Nine (9) properly made submissions supporting the proposed development were received. Although not considered properly made submissions under the public notification period, it is noted that over 128 letters of support were included with the application documents expressing support for this type of service within the area.
