Master Plan 2006 - Gold Coast Airport

4.8.4 Access and Parking
On-site parking should, where appropriate and possible, be
shared between buildings and provided in small clusters.
On-site car parking should be appropriately designed and
landscaped.
Vehicular access to the Western Enterprise Precinct would
be achieved via an internal road system serviced directly
from Boyd Street or from a possible future Boyd Street
/Tugun Bypass interchange. Access to and from the Tugun
Bypass will be from either the interchange at Boyd Street or
from the Gold Coast Highway via Boyd Street. The suitability
of Boyd Street for development generating significant
volumes of traffic and/or industrial traffic will need to be
demonstrated.
There is a need to control public access to aircraft operational
areas. Accordingly any areas developed for non-aviation
purposes must incorporate prescribed separation distances
and appropriate security fencing and access control
measures from any adjoining aircraft operational areas.
4.8.7 Tugun Bypass Road/ Rail Corridor
The preferred alignment for the Tugun Bypass Road/Rail
corridor forms the western boundary of the Western
Enterprise Precinct. The corridor extends some 2.2 kilometres
across the airport site occupying approximately 12 hectares
of airport land. The bypass alignment limits the extent of
the precinct and will need to incorporate a thoroughfare for
access to the Cobaki Environmental Precinct.
4.8.5 Development Strategy
Development within the precinct will be staged taking into
account the orderly, efficient and economic release of land,
provision of infrastructure, and access requirements.
4.8.6 Development Constraints
The Western Enterprise Precinct is potentially constrained
due to its proximity to aircraft movement areas and the
location of various aircraft navigational and communication
facilities which may exert clearance requirements and limit
the height of development within parts of the precinct.
Any development within the precinct shall also have regard
for potential aircraft noise impacts and the requirements
of Australian Standard AS 2021 Acoustics - Aircraft Noise
Intrusion - Building Siting and Construction in relation to the
proposed activities within the area.
The alignment for the road/rail corridor has been determined
and construction of the bypass has commenced. Upon
completion of works the infrastructure corridors will be
excised from Airport land, The land will become free hold
title and transferred to State ownership. The airport will
retain strata title on the land over the tunnels which will
accommodate the runway extension.
Land use within this corridor is restricted to the construction
of the Tugun bypass and the extension of the Robina
Coolangatta rail link.
4.8.8 Unacceptable Development
All other development not related to achieving the key
development objectives and not consistent with the Sections
4.8.3 to 4.8.7 is unacceptable in the Western Enterprise Precinct.
4.9 COBAKI ENVIRONMENTAL PRECINCT
Development must ensure that it does not result in the
attraction of birds to the airport. This has particular
implications in terms of landscaping and any stormwater
management strategy associated with the development.
This land is located within the Tweed Shire Council area,
and consists of areas of remnant natural vegetation, areas of
cultural significance and the site of a former sand dredging
operation.
Development involving external lighting near runway
approaches must ensure that it does not constitute a hazard to
aircraft operations. This includes the control of street lighting.
