PORT MACQUARIE-HASTINGS COUNCIL Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (NRCMA) The submission indicates support to the koala habitat recommendations of the LES and provides advice in relation to water quality controls and acid sulfate soil management. However the CMA raise concerns that the LES does not specifically address climate change impacts. Comment: Sea Level Rise as a result of climate change has been addressed in the LES in the context of flooding hazard and determination of retail floor levels and finished road surface levels for the site. In addition, the draft LEP incorporates the sea level rise provisions in clauses 7.2 Flood Planning Area and 7.3 Floodplain Risk Management. Representations Made at the Public Hearing As indicated in the Background section to this report, a Public Hearing was held on 16 December 2010 in relation to the reclassification of the Council-owned park in Warlters Street as part of the draft LEP process. A total of four (4) interested persons were in attendance at the Public Hearing. Issues raised at the Hearing focused on the impact of existing traffic in the surrounding area and the need to provide improved movement networks to cater for future development of the site. In accordance with the provisions of the EP&A Act 1979 and the LGA 1993 the Chairperson has prepared a report in relation to the meeting proceedings. A copy of the Chairperson’s Report is attached below which details the issues raised and the corresponding staff responses in relation to the questions presented. A copy of the report has been forwarded to the meeting participants for their information and perusal. It is considered that the issues raised at the Public Hearing have been satisfactorily addressed in the preparation of the draft LEP. A copy of the Chairperson’s Report is required to be forwarded for the information of the Department of Planning should Council decide to proceed with the proposal. Proposed amendments to the exhibited LES and Draft LEP The following amendments have been made to the exhibited LES and draft Plan:- 1. Additional text has been included in the LES to clarify the relationship between Figure 16 Proposed HOB LEP Map, Figure 7 Road Movement Network and Indicative Block Plan as requested by the Land and Property Management Authority. 2. The HOB LEP Map has been adjusted to increase the three storey category ’L’ from 11m to 11.5m and single storey category ‘C’ from 5m to 5.4m for consistency with the draft comprehensive Standard PMH LEP; 3. The 2.5:1 FSR proposed for the Warlters / Park Street corner of the site has been revised downward to 2.0:1 for consistency with the draft comprehensive Standard PMH LEP 4. A number of typing and formatting errors identified in the LES during the course of the exhibition have also been corrected. These amendments are minor only and do not alter the intent or meaning of the LES and draft LEP. The amended draft LEP HOB and FSR Maps are below. PAGE 76
PORT MACQUARIE-HASTINGS COUNCIL Alignment With Strategic Direction The proposal to rezone the land is consistent with Council’s strategic direction for retail expansion in the PMH sub-region as provided for in the recently adopted PMH UGMS 2010. In addition, adoption of the draft LEP as detailed in this report represents Council’s commitment to implementing the principles and design strategies of the adopted Settlement City Precinct Structure Plan 2009. Consultation Details of consultations leading up to the exhibition of the draft LEP are provided in the August 2010 report to Council. Details on the outcome of the public exhibition phase of the draft plan process are provided in the ‘Discussion’ section of this report. As the proposal involved Council-owned land, the exhibition of the draft LEP included display of the Department of Planning’s Best Practice Guideline LEPs and Council Land and LEP practice note PN 09-003 Classification and reclassification of public land through a local environmental plan . The exhibition of this material with the draft LEP helps the public to understand why certain information has been exhibited and enables a check that all relevant information has been made available. Planning and Policy Impact The Wartlers Street land is considered to be a key site in the Greater PMQ CBD and a rezoning to permit retail expansion on the land is consistent with the strategic importance of the site to strengthen the role of the Greater CBD as a major regional destination consistent with the PMH UGMS 2010 and Mid-North Coast Regional Strategy 2009. Financial & Economic Implications The preparation of the LES, draft LEP and draft Planning Agreement has been independently coordinated by Council and landowner funded. Upgrade works to service future development will be required via appropriate conditions of consent relating to works and/or payment of applicable developer contributions. Options Council could opt to defer or abandon the proposed LEP amendment. However, for reasons outlined in this report, it is recommended that the draft Plan be forwarded to the Department of Planning for finalisation . PAGE 77
