6.2.20 Limited development
6.2.20.1 Application
This code applies to development where the code is identified as applicable in a table of assessment. When using this code, reference should be made to section 5.3.2 and where applicable, section 5.3.3 located in Part 5.
6.2.20.2 Purpose
- The purpose of the limited development zone code is to limit the scale and form of development in those areas affected by significant development constraints:
- Such as localised flooding within the Gladstone urban area in the catchments of Police, Auckland, Carthurbie and Tigalee creeks; or
- In areas that act as buffers for major industrial development excluding the Gladstone State Development Area and Gladstone Port activities.
- These constraints pose severe restrictions on the ability of the land to be developed for urban purposes.
- The purpose of the zone will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:
- Development constraints limit the number and type of land uses that can occur.
- New uses and works reflect a low intensity nature, are provided with an appropriate level of infrastructure and access and are designed appropriately given the constraints of the land.
- Low impact, small scale living opportunities are facilitated where compatible with the area's values and not in close proximity to major industrial development.
- Low impact outdoor recreation activities are possible within the zone where compatible with the land constraints and the amenity of surrounding urban areas.
- The purpose of the zone will also be achieved through the following additional overall outcomes for particular precincts:
- Flood affected lands precinct:
- Development is only permitted where it is compatible with the level of risk having regard to flow depth, flow velocity, rate of flood level rise and the duration of the inundation or the impacts of flooding can be managed such that there can be no foreseeable risk to personal safety or to property.
- Does not impact upon the hydraulic performance of the flood affected area.
- Does not result in an increase in the extent or severity of flood risk to the site or other land.
- Major industry buffer precinct:
- Inappropriate development does not encroach upon or impact on the continued operation of adjacent major industry activities.
- Flood affected lands precinct:
6.2.20.3 Assessment criteria
Table 6.2.20.3.1—Self–assessable and assessable development
| Performance outcomes | Acceptable outcomes |
|---|---|
| Use – Caretaker's accommodation | |
|
PO1 Development:
|
AO1.1 No more than 1 caretaker's accommodation unit is established on the site. |
|
AO1.2 The caretaker's accommodation unit is a maximum of 100m2 in GFA. |
|
| Building height | |
|
PO2 Buildings and other structures:
|
AO2 Building height does not exceed 8.5m. |
| For all assessable development | |
| Land use | |
|
PO3 Development is very low impact and compatible with the physical constraints of the land. |
No acceptable outcome is nominated. |
| Amenity | |
|
PO4 Development maintains a high level of amenity within the site and minimises impacts on surrounding areas, having regard to:
Note—Applicants may be required to engage specialists to provide detailed investigations into the above matters in order to demonstrate compliance with this performance criterion. |
No acceptable outcome is nominated. |
|
PO5 Development does not unduly impact on the existing amenity and character of the locality having regard to:
|
No acceptable outcome is nominated. |
|
PO6 All uses:
|
No acceptable outcome is nominated. |
|
PO7 Outdoor lighting does not adversely affect the amenity of adjoining properties or create a traffic hazard on adjacent roads. |
AO7.1 Light emanating from any source complies with Australian Standard AS4282 Control of the Obtrusive Effects of Outdoor Lighting as amended. |
|
AO7.2 Outdoor lighting is provided in accordance with Australian Standard AS1158.1.1 – Road Lighting – Vehicular Traffic (Category V) Lighting – Performance and Installation Design Requirements as amended. |
|
| Effects of development | |
|
PO8 Development responds sensitively to on–site and surrounding topography, drainage patterns, coastal foreshores, waterways, utility services, access, vegetation and adjoining land use, such that:
|
No acceptable outcome is nominated. |
|
If in the flood affected lands precinct |
|
|
PO9 Residential density reflects the constrained limited development potential of the land. |
AO9.1 Residential density is limited to one dwelling house per allotment (including one secondary dwelling). |
|
AO9.2 Where a dwelling house, any secondary dwelling is:
|
|
|
If in the major industry buffer precinct |
|
|
PO10 Development does not encroach on surrounding existing or approved major industry operations or uses that may result in an impact on amenity, health or safety. |
No acceptable outcome is nominated. |
|
PO11 Development for any caretaker's accommodation provides a safe living environment for residents through:
|
No acceptable outcome is nominated. |
