QUALIFIED ADVICE<br />
Section 65 of the Local Government Act 1993 refers:<br />
‘A general manager must ensure that any advice, information or recommendation given<br />
to the council or a council committee is given by a person who has the qualifications or<br />
experience necessary to give such advice, information or recommendation.<br />
A council or council committee is not to decide on any matter which requires the advice<br />
of a qualified person without considering such advice unless the general manager certifies<br />
in writing that such advice was obtained and taken into account in providing general<br />
advice to the council or council committee.’<br />
I therefore certify that with respect to all advice, information or recommendations<br />
provided to the <strong>Council</strong> in or with this agenda that the advice, information or<br />
recommendation is given by a person who has the qualification or experience necessary<br />
to give such advice. Furthermore, that where any advice is directly given by a person<br />
who does not have the required qualifications or experience that person has obtained and<br />
taken into account (in that persons general advice) the advice of an appropriately<br />
qualified or experienced person.<br />

Reason to <strong>Council</strong>: For the determination of an application for a discretionary permit.<br />
Recommendation: That a planning permit be issued subject to given conditions.<br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
<strong>Council</strong> is in receipt of a Discretionary Permit Application for a subdivision by way of<br />
excision of the property located at North Road, Pegarah. The application was received<br />
on <strong>18</strong> th November 2010 and <strong>Council</strong> has until the 7 th February to provide a<br />
determination in accordance with s.57 (6)(b) of the Land Use and Planning Approvals<br />
Act 1993.<br />
An extension of time for determination of the application has not been negotiated with<br />
the proponent.<br />
HISTORY<br />
No proposals of this nature for this property have previously been lodged with <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
Location of Subject Property (The List)<br />
- 31 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL<br />
The application requests consideration for subdivision (by excision) of a residential<br />
allotment from a single parent title located on the northern end of North Road, Egg<br />
Lagoon. The property is zoned ‘Rural’ under the planning scheme, as is the surrounding<br />
and adjoining land. The property is being utilised for the grazing of beef cattle with no<br />
perceived alteration to this use stated or implied in the application.<br />
STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS/COUNCIL POLICY<br />
The determination of development applications is a statutory obligation of <strong>Council</strong>. The<br />
application is subject to <strong>Council</strong> policy No P213 Subdivision Control. This policy requires<br />
consideration of a contribution for public open space where a plan exists to provide<br />
recreation space at some future date. As there is currently no such plan for this area no<br />
consideration for contribution is required. The policy is currently under review.<br />
STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS<br />
Land Use Planning and Approvals Act (LUPAA) 1993<br />
The proposal is an application pursuant to Section 57 of the Land Use Planning and<br />
Approvals Act 1993. The planning authority has an obligation to take into consideration<br />
those matters cited, namely state planning policies and the planning scheme.<br />
Local Government (Building & Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1993<br />
The proposal satisfies the requirements of s.109 as a minimum lot in a country building<br />
area insofar as it allows for a minimum area of land for each allotment (1000 square<br />
metres) and frontage to a public road (6 metres).<br />
State Policies<br />
State Coastal Policy 1996. As the subject land title is not within 1km of the coastline, the<br />
Policy is not applicable.<br />
Draft State Policy on the Protection of Agricultural Land 2007. If the proposal satisfies<br />
the prescriptions of the planning scheme, the application would also satisfy this Policy.<br />
State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997. The proposed subdivision is not in<br />
contention with this policy.<br />
<strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Planning Scheme 1995<br />
The subdivision of land within the Rural zone is discretionary.<br />
Before granting, either conditionally or subject to conditions, or refusing a permit for a<br />
use or development the planning authority is to take into consideration;<br />
a) The Goals and Objectives of the planning scheme, the Goals, Objectives and<br />
Policies of the zone, any relevant development standards and any other relevant<br />
requirements of the planning scheme; There are no identified conflicts with the<br />
goals and objectives of the planning scheme. The subject property is zoned ‘Rural’<br />
on the planning scheme map. The zone goals are;-<br />
- 32 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
1) Identify land for the establishment and operation of land based resource<br />
enterprises. The realignment of boundaries within the property will not fetter<br />
land based resource enterprises on the subject lands, nor adjacent property,<br />
insofar as regards the proposed development. Further development of the<br />
land for purposes other than agricultural pursuits would require discretionary<br />
determination by <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
2) Protect the environmental, conservation and landscape values from<br />
inappropriate development. The proposal, by itself, would not be<br />
detrimental to the cited values.<br />
Clause 3.10.5 (c) of the <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Planning Scheme provides for the excision of a house<br />
given ‘that the house existed as at 6 th October 2000, and the balance lot is not less than<br />
50ha, and no part of the dwelling unit is closer than 50 metres to the new boundaries of<br />
the created lot containing the house’.<br />
A ‘house’ is defined in Part 8 of the Scheme as meaning:<br />
‘Any land used for a single dwelling on its own allotment, and includes any outbuilding<br />
ordinarily appurtenant thereto.’<br />
The application states that the existing dwelling on the proposed excision allotment has<br />
been on the present site prior to the nominal date. There no records for a building<br />
permit pertaining to the construction.<br />
The balance lot to be created will be approximately 122ha in area. This satisfies the<br />
requirement for a balance block to be 50ha at minimum.<br />
The new boundaries of the excised lot will not satisfy the planning scheme standards<br />
insofar as required setbacks. The proposed south and west boundaries, nominally 40m<br />
and 34m respectively, are drawn so as to retain existing infrastructure and vehicular<br />
access pertinent to agricultural production on the balance allotment.<br />
The existing infrastructure include a functioning shearing shed and associated structures<br />
and buildings including a loading race for stock, a dairy, concrete water tank and a<br />
crush. The vehicular entry from North Road on the proposed south boundary enables<br />
efficient access to the shearing sheds.<br />
The planning scheme states that where setbacks cannot be achieved, the excision would<br />
be allowable if, “any existing or potential development and use of agricultural land in<br />
the vicinity is likely to cause no impact, or only minor impact, on the residential amenity<br />
of the house taking into consideration:<br />
• The topography of the land; and<br />
• The location of water catchments; and<br />
• and the location of neighbouring dwellings; and<br />
• buffers created by natural features.<br />
- 33 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
The topography of the land in the immediate vicinity of the proposed excision is<br />
undulating and the majority of the balance block will be hidden from view of the<br />
residence. It is proposed to retain the windmill and the stock watering water storage<br />
tank on the balance block. The nearest neighbouring dwelling is approximately 210m to<br />
the south east. It is believed that the undulating nature of the surrounding land lends<br />
itself to being an effective buffer from impacts from agricultural use.<br />
b) Any relevant proposals, reports or requirements of any public authorities; Nil<br />
required.<br />
c) Whether any part of the land is subject to:<br />
i) Landslip, soil instability, or erosion; The subject land is not categorised as<br />
being prone to landslip.<br />
ii) Excessive slope; No information provided<br />
iii) Ponding or flooding; No evidence or information available.<br />
iv) Bush fire hazard; No information provided. Not regarded as being relevant to<br />
the proposal.<br />
v) Pollution of the subject site or surrounding lands; Nil impact anticipated.<br />
vi) Other hazards to safety or health. Nil<br />
d) Whether the proposed use or development is satisfactory in terms of its siting, size<br />
or appearance and levels of emissions or impacts in relation to:<br />
i) Existing site features; The subject allotments have been previously cleared of<br />
native vegetation and there are no distinguishing site features.<br />
ii)<br />
iii)<br />
iv)<br />
Adjoining land uses and zones; Nil impact expected.<br />
The streetscape and/or landscape; Minimal impact expected.<br />
The natural environment, particularly groundwater quality and water<br />
catchment areas; Nil impact anticipated<br />
v) An Item of Cultural Significance; None in close proximity<br />
vi)<br />
vii)<br />
Any Special Area; Nil<br />
Powerline easements; Not applicable<br />
viii) A water supply for fire fighting purposes; No information provided other<br />
than, “Water for fire fighting will be provided as existing”.<br />
ix)<br />
Any received pollution or hazard; Not applicable<br />
x) Isolation, separation from other lands. Not applicable<br />
e) Whether there is adequate provision of landscaping, amenity facilities and<br />
illumination for the development, and the treatment of the site generally; N/a<br />
f) Whether the proposed use or development will adversely effect the existing and<br />
planned future use or uses of adjacent land, and vice versa; Nil impact expected.<br />
- 34 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
g) Whether the proposed use or development will be supplied with an adequate level<br />
of infrastructure and services without detriment to existing users; No services or<br />
infrastructure required to be upgraded as a result of the development being pursued.<br />
h) Whether the proposed use or development is adequately serviced by public roads<br />
and where in coastal areas, whether public access to the coast can be provided; All<br />
proposed allotments will have access to existing road networks.<br />
i) Whether the demand upon infrastructure and services can be met before<br />
development commences; No services or infrastructure required to be supplied or<br />
upgraded as a result of the development being pursued.<br />
k) Where appropriate infrastructure is not in place, whether an agreement under Part<br />
5 – Agreements, Land use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 is required to make<br />
provision for a payment or other contribution for infrastructure to be made by any<br />
party to the agreement; Not applicable.<br />
l) Whether an agreement under Part 5 – Agreements Land Use Planning and<br />
Approvals Amendment Act 1993 is required to make provision for payment or<br />
contributions to be made in stages or for works or other developments to be<br />
undertaken by the owner of the land or any other party to the agreement; Not<br />
applicable.<br />
m) Whether an agreement under Part 5 – Agreements of the Land Use Planning and<br />
approvals Amendment Act 1993 is required to provide for a use or development to<br />
proceed or to implement a condition of approval on a permit granted under Section<br />
57 or 58 of the Land Use planning and Approvals Act 1993; Not applicable.<br />
n) Whether an agreement under Part 5 – Agreements of the Land Use Planning and<br />
Approvals Amendment Act 1993 is required to provide for the matters in Section 86<br />
of the Local Government (Building and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1993. Not<br />
applicable.<br />
PUBLIC INTEREST<br />
The application has been advertised in the local press, notified by mail to adjoining<br />
landowners and prominently signposted on site and on <strong>Council</strong>’s Notice Boards. No<br />
representations were received during the allotted period.<br />

- 35 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
CONCLUSION<br />
The planning authority may in determination of an application for a discretionary<br />
planning permit;<br />
• Approve the permit unconditionally. Issuing a planning permit without conditions<br />
would recognise that the proposed development complies with all relevant<br />
development standards within the planning scheme and there are no other<br />
matters of consideration to be addressed to satisfy overarching objectives, goals<br />
and principles inherent within the planning scheme, <strong>Council</strong> and State Policies.<br />
• Approve the permit with conditions. A planning permit may be issued with<br />
conditions that require the proponent to undertake such actions deemed<br />
necessary so as to mitigate potential negative impacts upon the natural and built<br />
environment.<br />
• Refuse to issue a permit. The permit may be refused for reasons that the<br />
proposed development conflicts with those deemed matters of consideration<br />
under Clause 2.10 of the planning scheme.<br />
The proposed subdivision pertains the creation of two new allotments from a single<br />
parent title by way of excision as allowed for under Part 3.10.5(c). The subdivision<br />
satisfies the requirements of the <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Planning Scheme 1995, State planning<br />
policies and the Local Government (Building & Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1993.<br />

- 37 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL<br />
The application requests consideration for the development of a telecommunications<br />
facility comprising a 60m tower with associated panel antennas, parabolic antennas,<br />
equipment shed and a ground based 1.8m diameter satellite dish to be erected within a<br />
compound area with boundaries measuring 16m by 11m.<br />
The property location is an unusually shaped block that owes its profile to an historic<br />
agglomeration of Crown lands subdivided from the adjacent school and hospital. It is<br />
approximately 15ha of vacant land with road frontage to Edward Street. It is cleared<br />
with a gentle slope to the east-northeast.<br />
Under the <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Planning Scheme 1995, the land use zoning for the subject land is<br />
Community Services.<br />
The land to the south and west of the site is populated with the <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Hospital and<br />
Health Centre. The <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> District High School is located on land adjoining the<br />
western boundary. These two land uses are also located within Community Services<br />
land use zone.<br />
There are residential properties located on land (approximately 150m) across the road<br />
(Edward Street) to the south on land designated as Low Density Residential under the<br />
Scheme.<br />
The eastern boundary adjoins land that is zoned Rural and which is vacant of<br />
development and is used for occasional stock grazing.<br />
STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS/COUNCIL POLICY<br />
The determination of development application for planning permits is a statutory<br />
obligation of <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS<br />
Land Use Planning and Approvals Act (LUPAA) 1993<br />
The proposal is an application pursuant to Section 57 of the Land Use Planning and<br />
Approvals Act 1993. The planning authority has an obligation to take into consideration<br />
those matters cited, namely state planning policies and the planning scheme.<br />
State Policies<br />
State Coastal Policy 1996. As the subject land title is not within 1km of the coastline, the<br />
Policy is not applicable.<br />
Draft State Policy on the Protection of Agricultural Land 2007. If the proposal satisfies<br />
the prescriptions of the planning scheme, the application would also satisfy this Policy.<br />
State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997. The proposed development is not in<br />
contention with this policy.<br />
- 38 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
<strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Planning Scheme 1995<br />
A telecommunications tower is not specifically defined in the planning scheme section<br />
for interpretation. However, it is understood to be a Major Utility which is defined as<br />
being:<br />
“ any land used for a utility service which is not a Minor Utility Service (as defined) and<br />
includes a water supply/treatment plant, a sewage treatment plant, a refuse disposal<br />
site, a power generating works, and an electricity substation or switching station of<br />
more than 100 kilovolts.”<br />
Major utilities are prohibited from the Community Services Zone by way of omission.<br />
Schedule A – Telecommunications Infrastructure Schedule, of the planning scheme<br />
defines Telecommunications infrastructure as being:<br />
‘any part of the infrastructure of a telecommunications network and includes any line,<br />
equipment, apparatus, tower, antenna, tunnel, duct, hole, pit or other structure used, or<br />
for use, in or in connection with a telecommunications network.’<br />
Schedule A also states that to the extent that any statement contained in the Schedule<br />
is inconsistent with any other provision of the Scheme the provisions of the Schedule<br />
shall apply in relation to telecommunications infrastructure.<br />
In determining any application for issue of a planning permit, the planning authority<br />
must be satisfied the proposal has demonstrated that the objectives and performance<br />
criteria in Appendix 1 will be achieved during the installation and operation of the<br />
proposed telecommunications infrastructure.<br />
- 39 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
Appendix 1<br />
Visual Amenity<br />
Objectives<br />
To minimise any detrimental<br />
impact upon the visual<br />
amenity of a locality by<br />
reducing prominence of<br />
telecommunications<br />
infrastructure<br />
Comment<br />
The scheme allows for buildings and structures to<br />
have a maximum height of 8m, whereas the proposed<br />
tower will be approximately 60m. The schedule<br />
overrides the development standards. The Schedule<br />
allows for a maximum height of 60m.<br />
To protect important public<br />
views such as vistas to<br />
significant buildings,<br />
streetscapes and heritage<br />
areas.<br />
To avoid obstruction of<br />
private views form the<br />
building line/principle<br />
windows by<br />
telecommunications lines.<br />
There are no recognised significant public buildings,<br />
streetscapes or heritage areas in proximity to the<br />
proposed development.<br />
There are no telecommunication lines involved in the<br />
development.<br />
Residential Amenity<br />
Objectives<br />
To protect residential amenity<br />
Comment<br />
The proposed development will not be located on<br />
residential land use areas. The nearest residence<br />
will be approximately 145m from the nearest<br />
residence on Edward Street.<br />
- 40 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
Environmental Values<br />
Objectives<br />
To protect threatened species<br />
or species at risk of becoming<br />
a threatened species and the<br />
habitats, ecological<br />
communities or places<br />
essential to their continuing<br />
existence.<br />
Comment<br />
The proposed development will not be located on<br />
residential land use areas. The nearest residence will<br />
be approximately 145m from the nearest residence<br />
on Edward Street.<br />
To protect areas as having<br />
significant natural values.<br />
To protect flora and fauna,<br />
habitats and ecological<br />
communities.<br />
There are no recognised areas with significant natural<br />
values identified in the near vicinity.<br />
The area has been cleared and grazed by stock for a<br />
number of years and could not be said to noted as<br />
having flora, fauna, habitats and ecological<br />
communities that would be under threat.<br />
Land Stability<br />
Objectives<br />
To ensure that<br />
telecommunications<br />
infrastructure does not<br />
cause land instability.<br />
Comment<br />
The development is not perceived to be a potential<br />
cause of land instability. There is potential for soil<br />
erosion to occur on a limited basis whilst during<br />
construction. This can be ameliorated through<br />
conditioning the required building permit.<br />
Agricultural Land<br />
Objectives<br />
To protect the productive<br />
capacity and efficient<br />
farming operations of<br />
agricultural land.<br />
Comment<br />
The land adjoining the eastern boundary is zoned<br />
Rural but has little agricultural potential as it is<br />
marginal land for cropping and undersized (13.5ha)<br />
for effective grazing of stock<br />
- 41 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
Heritage Values<br />
Objectives<br />
To protect items, places or<br />
areas identified as having<br />
aboriginal, natural, cultural or<br />
maritime heritage significance.<br />
Comment<br />
The subject property is not recognised as having any<br />
cultural heritage attributes, however it would be<br />
prudent to condition consent with the requirement that<br />
the proponent comply with the Aboriginal Relics Act<br />
1975<br />
Access<br />
Objectives<br />
To ensure that<br />
telecommunications<br />
infrastructure does not impede<br />
movement of vehicular and<br />
other modes of transport.<br />
Comment<br />
The proposed development will not be constructed<br />
within a road reserve nor in close proximity to existing<br />
roads or tracks.<br />
PUBLIC INTEREST<br />
The application has been advertised in the local press, notified by mail to adjoining<br />
landowners and prominently signposted on site and on <strong>Council</strong>’s Notice Boards. One<br />
representation was received during the exhibition period.<br />
Issue:<br />
land) and<br />
Comment:<br />
The proposed facility will “impede our vision (of the sea and pastoral<br />
valuation on the property.<br />
The disturbance of visual amenity due to an adjoining development is a<br />
common grievance of neighbours. However, the matter has been<br />
generally dealt with on an appeals basis under a number of<br />
jurisdictions and the common finding is that a perceived loss of<br />
visual amenity other than from a public vantage point is not cause<br />
enough to prohibit a given development if it satisfies the relevant<br />
planning requirements. Measures may be undertaken to mitigate or<br />
minimise potential impacts by design amendments such as non-reflective<br />
coatings. No comment can be provided as to the possible variations in<br />
the value of adjoining property due to the commencement of the<br />
proposal as any statement would be deemed conjecture without<br />
supporting evidence. Unfortunately devaluation of property assets is not<br />
a consideration under neither the Land Use Planning Approvals<br />
Act 1993 nor the <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Planning Scheme 1995.<br />
- 42 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
CONCLUSION<br />
The planning authority may in determination of an application for a discretionary<br />
planning permit;<br />
• Approve the permit unconditionally. Issuing a planning permit without conditions<br />
would recognise that the proposed development complies with all relevant<br />
development standards within the planning scheme and there are no other<br />
matters of consideration to be addressed to satisfy overarching objectives, goals<br />
and principles inherent within the planning scheme, <strong>Council</strong> and State Policies.<br />
• Approve the permit with conditions. A planning permit may be issued with<br />
conditions that require the proponent to undertake such actions deemed<br />

environment.<br />
• Refuse to issue a permit. The permit may be refused for reasons that the<br />
proposed development conflict with those deemed matters of consideration<br />
under Clause 2.10 of the planning scheme.<br />
The proposed development of a telecommunications tower and supporting<br />
infrastructure as described in the application satisfies the goals of the planning scheme<br />
for the particular zone, if the recommended conditions are adopted, and complies with<br />
the relevant development standards.<br />

Introduction<br />
Planning schemes provide a localised plan for land use control. The <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Planning Scheme<br />
1995 is comprised of set of documents and maps that identify and distinguish development and<br />
use characteristics for a given area within the local government boundary.<br />
<strong>Council</strong> is in receipt of an application for consideration of an amendment to the <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong><br />
Planning Scheme 1995 land use zoning.<br />
The Proposed Amendment<br />
The proposed amendment is :-<br />
• That the <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Planning Scheme 1995 plans be amended by altering the current zoning<br />
of the designated land from ‘Closed Residential to ‘Commercial’.<br />

- 45 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
Background<br />
An application has been received from Lester Franks Survey & Geographic Pty. Ltd on<br />
behalf of the land owners to rezone land from ‘Closed Residential’ to ‘Commercial’.<br />
The subject land consists of two distinct allotments CT144459/2 and CT 144459/3 that<br />
share a common side boundary though fronting two different roads.<br />
The properties have previously been developed and contain two distinct and separate<br />
ongoing commercial entities. CT144459/2 fronting 86 Main Street has an auto-electrical<br />
service and retail outlet, whilst CT 144459/3 fronting onto 1 Jaycee Avenue has a<br />
building services and supply business. Both ventures have been in operation for a period<br />
predating the current planning scheme.<br />
The business operating from the property on Main Street is identified as being ‘Light<br />
Industry’ and defined in the planning scheme as being:<br />
Any land used for an industry that does not or will not:<br />
a) impose any undue load on any existing or projected utility service or<br />
supply; or<br />
b) have a detrimental effect on the amenity of the environs by reason of air,<br />
noise or other pollution or waste product emanating from the land, the<br />
presence of vermin therein or through the creation of electrical<br />
interference, or by the appearance of the site or transportation of goods<br />
to and from the site.<br />
The business operating from the property on Main Street is identified as being a<br />
‘Showroom’ and defined in the planning scheme as being:<br />
Any land used for the sale, auction, hire or display of goods or materials of such size,<br />
weight or shape as to require<br />
a) a large area for handling, storage or display; or<br />
b) vehicular access to the site by the general public for the purpose of<br />
loading goods or materials into their vehicles after purchase; or<br />
c) a loading dock within the building;<br />
Both current land uses are prohibited within the ‘Closed Residential’ zone under the<br />
planning scheme. However, ‘Showroom and ‘Light Industry’ are permitted with approval<br />
in the ‘Commercial Zone’.<br />
The large property to the immediate north of the properties is zoned ‘Closed<br />
Residential’ and is currently vacant and used for casual grazing. It has the potential to be<br />
subdivided into a number of allotments suitable for residential land use.<br />
The property located on the corner of Main Street and Jaycee Avenue is also zoned<br />
‘Closed Residential’ but is occupied with a single dwelling as are the properties to the<br />
east and across both Main Street and Jaycee Avenue.<br />
- 46 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
The applicant has prepared a detailed report to support their request for a draft<br />
amendment to the <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Planning Scheme 1995. This report sets out the<br />
background of the proposal, identification of the subject land, recognition of the<br />
planning controls and an analysis of compliance with the provisions of the Land Use<br />
Planning and Approvals Act 1993.<br />
Statutory Requirements<br />
The planning authority is to take into consideration as to whether the proposal is<br />
consistent with those matters cited under Section 32 of the Land Use Planning &<br />
Approvals Act 1993 (LUPAA) before making a decision as to whether the proposal should<br />
be initiated as a draft amendment.<br />
Where a decision has been made to initiate the proposal as a draft amendment, advice is<br />
to be sought under Section 65 of the Local Government Act 1993 as to whether the draft<br />
amendment meets the requirements of Section 32 of LUPAA before certifying the draft<br />
as ready for public exhibition.<br />
The draft amendment is subject to final approval from the Tasmanian Planning<br />
Commission. The decision making process would take into account the objectives of<br />
LUPAA, submissions received during the period of the public exhibition and findings at<br />
the conclusion of any public hearing so instigated.<br />
Strategic Considerations<br />
<strong>Council</strong> has an implied responsibility to consider proposals that promote fair,<br />
orderly and sustainable development on the <strong>Island</strong>, whilst advancing the key<br />
principles inherent within the <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Strategic Plan 2004.<br />
Public Interest<br />
If, and when the Planning Authority makes the determination to certify the draft<br />
amendment in accordance with Section 35 of the Land Use Planning Approvals Act 1993,<br />
a copy of the draft instrument will be placed upon public exhibition for a period not less<br />
than twenty-one days.<br />
The public would be invited to submit representations, which would be taken into<br />
consideration by the planning authority in reviewing the draft amendment. The draft<br />
(with or without recommendations for modification) would be presented to the<br />
Tasmanian Commission for consideration for approval.<br />
- 47 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
Other Issues<br />
Section 33 of the Land Use Planning & Approval Act 1993 (LUPPA) provides for a person<br />
to request a Planning Authority to amend a planning scheme administered by it.<br />
Before making a decision to initiate a draft amendment, <strong>Council</strong> must consider the<br />
matters set out in Section 32 of LUPAA.<br />
Should <strong>Council</strong> resolve to initiate the draft amendment, it will be necessary for the draft<br />
amendment to be certified by <strong>Council</strong> in accordance with Section 35 of the Act.<br />
This report details the basis and reasons for the recommendation. An alternative<br />
decision by <strong>Council</strong> will require a statement of the reasons for the decision in order to<br />
maintain the integrity of the planning approval process and to comply with the intent of<br />
the Judicial Review Act 2000. In addition, Section 25 of the Local Government (Meeting<br />
Procedures) Regulations 2005 provides that the General Manager is to ensure that the<br />
reasons for a decision by a <strong>Council</strong> acting as a planning authority are recorded in the<br />
minutes of the meeting.<br />
Assessment<br />
Before certifying a draft amendment, a planning authority must determine that a draft<br />
amendment meets the requirements specified in section 32 of the Act, which provides<br />
that an amendment to a planning scheme:<br />
a) Must seek to further the objectives of the Resource Management and<br />
Planning System of Tasmania set out in Schedule 1 of the Act; and<br />
b) Must be prepared in accordance with the provisions of State Policies made<br />
under the State Policies and Projects Act 1993; and<br />
c) May make any provision that relate to the use, development, protection or<br />
conservation of any land; and<br />
d) Must have regard to the safety requirements set out in the standards<br />
proscribed under the Gas Pipelines Act 2000.<br />
Objectives of the Resource Management and Planning System of Tasmania<br />
The Objectives of the Resource Management and Planning System of Tasmania are<br />
listed below with appropriate planning comment:<br />
(a)<br />
to promote the sustainable development of natural and physical resources and the<br />
maintenance of ecological processes and genetic diversity; and<br />
Comment: The subject land is not identified as having any natural or physical<br />
resources of note as they are developed sites that demonstrate no ecological<br />
processes that require maintenance<br />
- 48 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
(b)<br />
(c)<br />
(d)<br />
(e)<br />
to provide for the fair, orderly and sustainable use and development of air, land<br />
and water; and<br />
Comment: The subject land is currently utilised for commercial purposes and<br />
represents a logical and orderly use of the land for Commercial land uses for the<br />
present and into the future. It would provide certainty for any potential transfer<br />
of the lands into different ownership.<br />
It is considered that the draft amendment will have no adverse affects on the<br />
sustainable use of air or water.<br />
to encourage public involvement in resource management and planning; and<br />
Comment: The draft amendment will be exhibited in accordance with the<br />
requirements of the Act and Land Use Planning and Approvals Regulations 1993.<br />
to facilitate economic development in accordance with the objectives set out in<br />
paragraphs (a), (b) and (c); and<br />
Comment: The draft amendment will provide suitably zoned land for existing<br />
commercial businesses that provide necessary goods and services to the general<br />
community as well as providing a number of employment opportunities.<br />
It needs to be noted that the rezoning of the land is not necessary for the<br />
continuation of the existing businesses, however it would facilitate future<br />
growth if such were proposed.<br />
to promote the sharing of responsibility for resource management and planning<br />
between the different spheres of Government, the community and industry in the<br />
State.<br />
Comment: Community input will be encouraged through the exhibition of the<br />
draft amendment and public hearings, if required. The application is before<br />
<strong>Council</strong> for consideration and if the recommendation is adopted, the State<br />
planning department will be involved in further assessment of the proposal.<br />
The objectives of the planning process established by LUPAA are listed below with<br />
appropriate planning comment:<br />
(a)<br />
to require sound strategic planning and co-ordinated action by State and local<br />
government;<br />
Comment: The planning scheme and the <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Strategy Plan both identify<br />
Currie as the main commercial centre for the local government area, <strong>King</strong> <strong>Island</strong>. It is<br />
recognised that commercially zoned land within the township is limited with no<br />
greenfield sites available as an alternative location. It is of interest to note that the<br />
commercially zoned land in Currie includes a number of established residences.<br />
- 49 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
(b)<br />
to establish a system of planning instruments to be the principal way of setting<br />
objectives, policies and controls for the use, development and protection of land.<br />
Comment: The draft amendment has been dealt with in accordance with the<br />
planning process established by the Resource Management and Planning System<br />
of Tasmania.<br />
(c) to ensure that the effects on the environment are considered and provide for explicit<br />
consideration of social and economic effects when decisions are made about the<br />
use and development of land; and<br />
Comment: Consideration must be given as to potential effects of the proposed<br />
amendment on the natural and built environment. Such matters would be part<br />
of the development application assessment process if, subsequent to the<br />
proposed change of zoning, it was proposed to intensify, expand or change the<br />
current land uses.<br />
(d) to require land use and development planning and policy to be easily integrated<br />
with environmental, social, economic, conservation and resource management<br />
policies at State, regional and municipal levels; and<br />
Comment: There are no discernable conflicts.<br />
(e) to provide for the consolidation of approvals for land use or development and<br />
related matters, and to co-ordinate planning approvals with related approvals;<br />
and<br />
Comment: The draft amendment will allow applications for future development<br />
of appropriate commercial uses and development outcomes.<br />
(f) to secure a pleasant, efficient and safe working, living and recreational<br />
environment for all Tasmanians and visitors to Tasmania; and<br />
Comment: Amending the current land use zoning would not impact upon the<br />
general amenity of the neighbourhood.<br />
(g)<br />
(h)<br />
to conserve those buildings, areas or other places which are of scientific,<br />
aesthetic, architectural or historical interest, or otherwise of special cultural value;<br />
and<br />
Comment: There are no buildings or developments on the subject land that have<br />
any conceivable scientific, aesthetic, architectural or historical interest, or are<br />
otherwise of special cultural value.<br />
to protect public infrastructure and other assets and enable the orderly provision<br />
and co-ordination of public utilities and other facilities for the benefit of the<br />
community; and<br />
Comment: Nil impacts anticipated.<br />

Comment: The subject land is currently being utilised as commercial.<br />
- 50 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
State Policies<br />
The State Coastal Policy 1996 (Coastal Policy)<br />
The Coastal Policy came into operation on 10 October 1996. This Policy applies to the<br />
coastal zone, which includes all State waters and land within 1 km from the High Water<br />
Mark (HWM)<br />
The subject land is located more than 1 km from the HWM of the nearest point of the<br />
coastline and is located within a gazetted township and therefore the Coastal Policy<br />
does not apply to this application.<br />
The State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997 (Water Quality Policy)<br />
The Water Quality Policy came into operation on 27 September 1997. This policy applies<br />
to all surface waters, including coastal waters, and groundwaters, other than privately<br />
owned waters that are not accessible to the public and are not connected to, or flow<br />
directly into, waters that are accessible to the public, or, waters in any tank, pipe or<br />
cistern.<br />
The draft amendment does not include any development that would affect the Water<br />
Quality Policy.<br />
Any future development of the land will be required to comply with the requirements of<br />
the policy to ensure that the risk of sediments being transported into surface waters<br />
such that environmental harm might be caused is acceptable and that effective soil and<br />
water management is addressed prior to site disturbance occurring. On the above basis<br />
it is considered that the proposed rezoning is in accordance with the provisions of the<br />
Water Quality Policy.<br />
The State Policy for the Protection of Agricultural Land 2000 (Agricultural Land<br />
Policy)<br />
The subject land does not include any prime agricultural land and any future<br />
development of the land is unlikely fetter surrounding agricultural activity.<br />
National Environmental Protection Measures (NEPM).<br />
NEPMs are broad framework setting statutory instruments made under the National<br />
Environment Protection <strong>Council</strong> (Tasmania) Act 1995 and are taken to be State Policies.<br />
Eight NEPMs have been made to date and these essentially deal with air quality,<br />
movement of waste, site contamination and used packaging materials. None of the<br />
NEPMs are considered relevant to the proposed rezoning.<br />
Gas Pipeline Safety<br />
Section 32(a) of the Act provides that a draft amendment must have regard to the safety<br />
requirements for gas pipelines.<br />
Comment: There are no gas pipelines situated on the <strong>Island</strong><br />
- 51 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
Consideration of the Planning Scheme ‘Closed Residential Zone’ Objectives.<br />
The Zone Objectives for the Closed Residential Zone are described by Clause 3.1.2. of<br />
the Scheme as being achieved by the following:<br />
a) Identifying areas of land which can be serviced utilizing existing infrastructure.<br />
b) Making provision for development of land for residential purposes with scope for<br />
small lot development where the amenity of the area can be maintained;<br />
c) To make provision for other land uses which are compatible with a pleasant<br />
residential environment;<br />
d) To encourage the relocation of non-conforming uses which reduce residential<br />
amenity.<br />
Objective A<br />
Firstly and with respect to Objective A, it is noted that the land subject to the proposed<br />
amendment is serviced by existing infrastructure networks at Currie which include<br />
sewer, water, electricity and telecommunications. The proposed amendment will not<br />
alter the reliance of the subject sites on these infrastructure networks.<br />
The subject sites are presently and have historically been used for commercial purposes<br />
for in excess of 35 years. The existence of both businesses and associated buildings and<br />
infrastructure make the site unsuited to residential development, as encouraged by the<br />
objectives of the Closed Residential Zone. The existing uses of each site are therefore<br />
inconsistent with the purpose of the Closed Residential Zone as described.<br />
Objective B<br />
With respect to Objective B it is noted that should the existing and long-standing<br />
commercial uses not exist on the subject sites and the land were vacant, there would be<br />
potential for the development of lots of lesser size. That said, the buildings on the site<br />
are existing and both businesses make a significant contribution to the Currie township<br />
and greater king island community as part of the existing commercial hub of the <strong>Island</strong>.<br />
Objective C<br />
Objective C allows for other land uses which are compatible with residential<br />
development, in that amenity must not be adversely affected. This is not relevant to the<br />
proposed development, as both businesses and associated buildings are existent. The<br />
impact upon the amenity of the area will not be affected by the amendment, nor will<br />
the commercial use of the sites cease.<br />
Objective D<br />
In relation to Objective D, there is no evidence of conflict between either use and any<br />
surrounding residential uses and developments. The proposed amendment will align the<br />
zoning of the subject sites with their respective uses, and will increase supply of<br />
commercial land in Currie which is presently limited.<br />
- 52 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
Clause 2.15.4 of the Scheme describes no-conforming existing uses and how such uses<br />
are to be treated. This clause describes the process by which application may be made<br />
to <strong>Council</strong> for the development of a non-conforming use which does not conform to the<br />
Scheme into greater conformity with the Scheme.<br />
The amendment does not propose any physical change to either business, such as<br />
extension or expansion. The purpose of this amendment is, as discussed, to align the<br />
zoning of the land with the present and long-standing historical use of the land for<br />
commercial purposes. The provisions of Clause 2.15.4 will therefore become irrelevant<br />
to the subject sites upon approval of this amendment by the Tasmanian Planning<br />
Scheme.<br />
Options<br />
At this point in the process, the planning authority has the inferred right and power to:<br />
1. To proceed with the draft amendment in accordance with the recommendation.<br />
2. To proceed with an alternative amendment as determined by the planning authority.<br />
3. To abandon the draft amendment.<br />
Conclusion<br />
The proposal for an amendment to the planning scheme plans to rezone the<br />
subject land from ‘Closed Residential’ to ‘Commercial’ is recommended for<br />
initiation as a draft amendment to the planning scheme on the merit that it<br />
will ‘provide for the social and economic welfare of the community’ (s.1.2.1<br />
KIPS - Planning Scheme Goal).<br />
It has been ascertained by the reporting officer that the draft amendment<br />
complies with s.32 of LUPAA and therefore should be initiated and certified<br />
then submitted to the Tasmanian Planning Commission for subsequent<br />
approval.<br />

PROPOSED CHANGES TO POLICY P205 - PERMIT FOR<br />
TEMPORARY DWELLINGS<br />
<strong>Agenda</strong> Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong><br />
Officer Reporting<br />
File Ref 1.3<br />
General Manager<br />
BACKGROUND<br />
Please find attached proposed changes to Policy P205 – Permit for Temporary Dwelling.<br />
The current policy limits the size of temporary dwellings to 56m 2 , based on the maximum<br />
outbuilding size within closed residential zones.<br />
GENERAL MANAGER COMMENT<br />
In most instances the temporary dwelling is to be converted to a shed on conclusion of its<br />
use as a temporary dwelling. The size of temporary dwellings would therefore be best to<br />
be aligned with the size limits imposed for outbuildings (shedding) within rural zones.<br />
The proposed changes alter the maximum size limits for temporary dwelling and in<br />
addition firm up the conditions – fees and bonds, associated with submitting a permit for<br />
a temporary dwelling.<br />
Mark Goode<br />
GENERAL MANAGER<br />
Recommendation:<br />
That <strong>Council</strong>:<br />
1. Endorses the proposed changes to Policy P205 – Permit for Temporary<br />
Dwellings.<br />

<strong>Council</strong> Resolution No ?/11 of Ordinary Meeting <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong><br />
POLICY<br />
Purpose<br />
<strong>Council</strong> may grant a permit to people who intend to construct a permanent dwelling on<br />
their property, and wish to live in a temporary dwelling such as a caravan or shed, while<br />
the permanent dwelling is being built.<br />
This policy also applies to people who may be renovating or modifying an existing<br />
dwelling, and need to live in a temporary dwelling while the works are underway.<br />
Conditions<br />
The following conditions apply:<br />
1. The applicant shall complete an application for a Temporary Dwelling Permit, and<br />
pay the applicable fees.<br />
2. Plans of the temporary dwelling and permanent dwelling, are to be submitted with<br />
the application for the permit.<br />
3. The conditions of occupancy for the temporary dwelling shall include installation<br />
of water, power, sanitation and kitchen facilities. This shall be to the satisfaction<br />
of a council appointed Building Surveyor and a council appointed Environmental<br />
Health Officer.<br />
4. The maximum dimensions of the outbuilding to be used as a temporary dwelling<br />
are not to exceed those dimensions specified in the relevant zone of the <strong>King</strong><br />
<strong>Island</strong> Planning Scheme.<br />
5. A bond of $2,000 must be paid to <strong>Council</strong> at the time of application for the<br />
permit.<br />
6. The $2,000 bond will not be refunded, unless all conditions of the permit are<br />
met.<br />
- 75 - Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting – <strong>18</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
7. The $2,000 bond will not be refunded, if the temporary dwelling is occupied for<br />
longer than the term prescribed in the permit, or if the house construction fails to<br />
proceed.<br />
8. The bond will be refunded to the applicant, when a Certificate of Occupancy is<br />
issued for the permanent dwelling, and the living facilities within the temporary<br />
dwelling are dismantled.<br />
9. Under no circumstance may the temporary dwelling remain in use after<br />
completion of the permanent dwelling. A council appointed Building Surveyor<br />
and a council appointed Environmental Health Officer will determine when this<br />
condition is met. This may be subject to a site inspection by the appointed<br />
Building Surveyor.<br />
10. The length of the permit will be two years from the date of issue. There will be no<br />
extensions to this time, and occupancy of the temporary dwelling must cease no<br />
later than two years from the date of issue of the permit.<br />
11. No time extension will be granted for completion of the permanent dwelling, or<br />
for dismantling of the living facilities within the temporary dwelling. If works are<br />
unable to be completed within the specified time frame, a new Temporary<br />
Dwelling Permit application must be submitted, including a new $2,000 bond, and<br />
new permit fees.<br />
Process<br />
1. An Application for Temporary Dwelling Permit form is to be completed, and<br />
shall include plans of the temporary and permanent dwellings. The application fee<br />
must be paid at the time of application. This fee is non refundable.<br />
2. An additional bond of $2000.00 is to be paid to <strong>Council</strong> at the time of application.<br />
This bond will be refunded when all the conditions of the Temporary Dwelling<br />
Permit are met.<br />
3. Permit conditions will be set by a council appointed Building Surveyor, and must<br />
be adhered to by the applicant.<br />
