DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL The application requests consideration for the development of a telecommunications facility comprising a 60m tower with associated panel antennas, parabolic antennas, equipment shed and a ground based 1.8m diameter satellite dish to be erected within a compound area with boundaries measuring 16m by 11m. The property location is an unusually shaped block that owes its profile to an historic agglomeration of Crown lands subdivided from the adjacent school and hospital. It is approximately 15ha of vacant land with road frontage to Edward Street. It is cleared with a gentle slope to the east-northeast. Under the King Island Planning Scheme 1995, the land use zoning for the subject land is Community Services. The land to the south and west of the site is populated with the King Island Hospital and Health Centre. The King Island District High School is located on land adjoining the western boundary. These two land uses are also located within Community Services land use zone. There are residential properties located on land (approximately 150m) across the road (Edward Street) to the south on land designated as Low Density Residential under the Scheme. The eastern boundary adjoins land that is zoned Rural and which is vacant of development and is used for occasional stock grazing. STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS/COUNCIL POLICY The determination of development application for planning permits is a statutory obligation of Council. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Land Use Planning and Approvals Act (LUPAA) 1993 The proposal is an application pursuant to Section 57 of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993. The planning authority has an obligation to take into consideration those matters cited, namely state planning policies and the planning scheme. State Policies State Coastal Policy 1996. As the subject land title is not within 1km of the coastline, the Policy is not applicable. Draft State Policy on the Protection of Agricultural Land 2007. If the proposal satisfies the prescriptions of the planning scheme, the application would also satisfy this Policy. State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997. The proposed development is not in contention with this policy. - 38 - Ordinary Council Meeting – 18 January 2011
King Island Planning Scheme 1995 A telecommunications tower is not specifically defined in the planning scheme section for interpretation. However, it is understood to be a Major Utility which is defined as being: “ any land used for a utility service which is not a Minor Utility Service (as defined) and includes a water supply/treatment plant, a sewage treatment plant, a refuse disposal site, a power generating works, and an electricity substation or switching station of more than 100 kilovolts.” Major utilities are prohibited from the Community Services Zone by way of omission. Schedule A – Telecommunications Infrastructure Schedule, of the planning scheme defines Telecommunications infrastructure as being: ‘any part of the infrastructure of a telecommunications network and includes any line, equipment, apparatus, tower, antenna, tunnel, duct, hole, pit or other structure used, or for use, in or in connection with a telecommunications network.’ Schedule A also states that to the extent that any statement contained in the Schedule is inconsistent with any other provision of the Scheme the provisions of the Schedule shall apply in relation to telecommunications infrastructure. In determining any application for issue of a planning permit, the planning authority must be satisfied the proposal has demonstrated that the objectives and performance criteria in Appendix 1 will be achieved during the installation and operation of the proposed telecommunications infrastructure. - 39 - Ordinary Council Meeting – 18 January 2011
