Development within the Medium landscape value area PO2 Development within Medium landscape areas identified on the Landscape values overlay maps contained in Schedule 2: (a) avoids detrimental impacts on the landscape values of forested skylines, visible hillslopes, ridgelines, the coastal foreshore or the shoreline of water bodies through the loss of vegetation; (b) Is effectively screened from view from a road, lookout or other public place by an existing natural landform or native vegetation, or will be effectively screened by native vegetation within 5 years of construction; (c) Retains existing vegetation and incorporates new landscaping to enhance existing AO2.1 Buildings and structures are not more than 8.5 metres and 2 storeys in height. Note – Height is inclusive of the roof height. AO2.2 Development is screened from view from or other public places by an existing natural landform or an existing native vegetation buffer. AO2.3 Where development on land steeper than 1 in 6 (16.6%) cannot be avoided, development follows the natural contours of the site. AO2.4 The external features, walls and roofs of buildings and structures have a subdued and non-reflective palette.
Development is set back from wetlands to maintain quality, ecological and hydrological functions and values of wetlands and their receiving waters. Note – Planning scheme policy – Natural environment is applicable. Development is set back from wetlands in accordance with 8.2.11.3.c; or AO7.2 Where an alternative buffer is proposed, the width of the alternative buffer is supported by an evaluation of the environmental values, functioning and threats to the wetland. PO8 Wetlands and wetland buffer areas are maintained, protected and restored. Note – Wetland buffer areas are identified within Table 8.2.11.3.c. AO8.1 Native vegetation within wetlands and wetland buffer areas is retained. AO8.2 Degraded sections of wetlands and wetland buffer areas are revegetated with native plants in patterns and densities which emulate the relevant regional ecosystem. Waterways and waterway buffer areas PO9 Development is set back from waterways to protect and maintain: (a) quality; (b) hydrological functions; (c) ecological processes; (d) biodiversity values; (e) riparian and instream habitat values and connectivity; (f) instream migration. Note – Planning scheme policy – Natural environment is applicable. AO9.1 Waterway corridors are provided adjacent to waterways in accordance with the requirements of Table 8.2.11.3.b. or AO9.2 Where a waterway corridor of an alternative width is proposed, the alternative width is supported by an evaluation of the waterway to ensure the protection and maintenance of: (a) quality; (b) hydrological functions; (c) opportunities for instream migration; (d) ecological processes; (e) riparian and instream habitat values and connectivity; (f) biodiversity values. AO9.3 Development, than Community infrastructure or open space is not located within a waterway or waterway corridor. Additional requirements for waterway A and Non-urban waterway PO10 Waterways and waterway corridors are protected, and degraded areas are restored and waterways and waterway corridors transferred to public ownership. AO10.1 Native vegetation within waterways and waterway corridors is retained. AO10.2 Waterway corridors are: (a) transferred to public ownership for an appropriate reserve purpose; or (b) protected through an Environmental Covenant.
Note – A Traffic impact assessment report prepared in accordance with Planning scheme policy - Parking and access is one way to demonstrate achievement of the Performance Outcomes. AO1.2 Development does not compromise the safety and efficiency of the transport network. AO1.3 Development is designed to provide access via the lowest order road, where legal and practicable access can be provided to that road. Transport infrastructure provision PO2 Transport infrastructure is provided in an integrated and timely manner. Note – A Traffic impact assessment report prepared in accordance with Planning scheme policy - Parking and access is one way to demonstrate achievement of the Performance Outcomes. AO2.1 Development provides infrastructure (including improvements to existing infrastructure) in accordance with: (a) the Transport network overlay maps contained in Schedule 2; (b) a Local Plan. Note – The TransLink Public Transport Infrastructure Manual provides guidance on the design of public transport facilities. Major transport corridors PO3 Development involving sensitive land uses within a major transport corridor buffer area identified in the Transport network overlay maps contained in Schedule 2; is located, designed and maintained to avoid or mitigate adverse impacts on amenity for the sensitive land use. AO3.1 No acceptable outcomes are provided. Note - Part 4.4 of the Queensland Development Code provides requirements for residential building design in a designated transport noise corridor. Note - Department of Transport and Main Roads Policy Position Statement: Development on Land Affected by Environmental Emissions from Transport and Transport Infrastructure (Environmental Emissions Policy), Version 2.0 dated 10 May 2013 provides requirements for non-residential building design in a designated transport noise corridor. PO4 Development does not compromise intended role and function or safety and efficiency of major transport corridors. Note - A Traffic impact assessment report prepared in accordance with Planning scheme policy - Parking and access is one way to demonstrate achievement of the Performance Outcomes. AO4.1 Development is compatible with the role and function (including the future role and function) of major transport corridors. AO4.2 Direct access is not provided to a major transport corridor where legal and practical access from another road is available. AO4.3 Intersection and access points associated with major transport corridors are located in accordance with: (a) the Transport network overlay maps contained in Schedule 2; and (b) a Plan. Note – Access points to Controlled roads may require approval under the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994. AO4.4 The layout of development and the design of the associated access is compatible with existing and future boundaries of the transport corridor or major transport facility.
