PO1

The establishment of the forest for wood production is located to minimise impacts (such as shading and falling trees) on infrastructure and areas of environmental interest.

AO1.1

The establishment of the forest for wood production is setback from existing infrastructure and areas of environmental interest in accordance with Table 9.2.2.3.2—Forestry for wood production setback distances.

AO1.2

No cultivation and planting for wood production is to occur in the setback areas identified in Table 9.2.2.3.2. Road and track establishment and maintenance can occur.

AO1.3

Self–propagated seedlings (wildlings) generated from the forest for wood production are eradicated from the setback areas identified in Table 9.2.2.3.2.

Impacts on soil structure, fertility and stability

PO2

The impacts of the forest for wood production on soil structure, fertility and stability are minimised through appropriate management of the site.

AO2.1

The establishment and maintenance (including associated tracks and roads) of the forest for wood production utilises one or more of the following methods:

1. mechanical strip cultivation on the contour, spot cultivation or manual cultivation is used for establishment on slopes greater than 10% and less than 25%
2. either spot cultivation or manual cultivation is used for establishment on slopes equal to or greater than 25%
3. tracks and roads are established away from natural drainage features and areas that are subject to erosion and landslips.

AO2.2

Any part of a track or road established and maintained as part of the forest for wood production is appropriately drained and adopts the following measures:

1. establish and maintain a stable surface
2. drain the track or road with crossfall drainage (preferably with a slope greater than 4 per cent) or by shaping the track or road to a crown so that water drains to both of its sides
3. establish and maintain drainage structures to convey water away from the track or road formation (for example, crossdrains, mitre drains, turnouts and diversion drains or relief culverts).

AO2.3

Drainage water from tracks and roads established and maintained as part of the forest for wood production is directed away from exposed soils, unstable areas, and towards undisturbed ground and areas with stable surfaces.

Fire risk

PO3

The risk of fire to adjoining premises and infrastructure is minimised through the provision of firebreaks and fire tracks and roads.

AO3.1

Firebreaks are established and maintained:

1. between the forest for wood production, adjoining premises and existing infrastructure
2. at a minimum width from the base of the outside trees in accordance with Table 9.2.2.3.3—Forestry for wood production firebreak distances
3. that are free of flammable material that is greater than 1m high
4. to be accessible and trafficable for fire suppression vehicles.

AO3.2

Fire access tracks and roads are established and maintained:

1. to a minimum width of 4m
2. that are accessible
3. that ensure no part of a plantation is more than 250m from a fire access track or road.

PO4

The local government is informed of the expected cropping harvest cycles, volumes, timescales and haulage routes, plus propose wildfire management and location of supportive infrastructure.

AO4

When the forest for wood production area is greater than 10ha a management report is attached to the development application that contains the following information:

1. expected harvest cycles and estimated harvest timescale
2. an estimated haulage route plan identifying likely local roads for transporting the harvest to the primary destination/s
3. proposed methods and supporting infrastructure location for managing wild fire (including an area map of the property location, adjacent roads and tracks, property entrances, location of fire access tracks and turnarounds on the property and location of water points in the area).

1. Stream order 1 to 2: 5m, or
2. Stream order 3 to 5: 10m, or
3. Stream order 6: 20m.

Infrastructure

The reconfiguration enables any proposed buildings and structures to comply with boundary setback requirements under the relevant zone code.

OR

In relation to a reconfiguration in a residential zone, where no boundary setbacks are prescribed by the relevant zone code, the reconfiguration ensures that any proposed buildings and structures can comply with boundary setback requirements under the Queensland Development Code.

Infrastructure

For premises located in a sewered area [1], each lot is connected to the sewerage service.

or

For premises located outside a sewered area, each lot provides for an effluent treatment and disposal system in accordance with the Development design code.
