Table 7.2.5.4.a – Edmonton industry and business local plan code – assessable development Performance outcomes Acceptable outcomes For assessable development Structure planning PO1 A structure plan is prepared outlining the manner in the development outcomes have been integrated with respect to the following, including precinct specific outcomes: (a) development sequencing (b) structure of communities and place making; (c) economic development and employment; (d) transport and mobility; (e) community facilities and recreation land; (f) infrastructure networks; (g) centres design; (h) overlay outcomes. Note – Planning scheme policy – Structure plans provides guidance on the preparation of a structure plan. AO1.1 No acceptable outcomes are provided. PO2 Development ensures the purpose and outcomes of the following local plans are not compromised through inefficient use of land within the Edmonton industry and business local plan area: (a) Mount peter local plan; (b) Edmonton local plan; (c) Gordonvale local plan. AO2.1 Development achieves the minimum employment needs and community infrastructure needs, as outlined within Structure Plans and Table 7.2.5.4.b. Development sequencing PO3 Development occurs within the Initial development area as identified on the Edmonton industry and business local plan maps contained in Schedule 2 to ensure the AO3.1 Development of land within the Initial development area is consistent with all preliminary approvals, development permits and infrastructure agreements.
PO3 Buildings and structures complement the height of surrounding development and buildings are limited to two storeys. Note – Where a proposed development exceeds the height stated in AO3.1, the proposed setbacks and site coverage will be assessed in relation to the proposed height. AO3.1 Buildings and structures are not more than 8.5 metres and 2 storeys in height. Note - Height is inclusive of the roof height. PO4 Development is consistent with and reflects the traditional town character of Gordonvale. AO4.1 Development provides for the retention and/or adaptive re-use of buildings which have cultural heritage or character streetscape significance. Centres PO5 Centres are complemented by the establishment of community infrastructure and community-oriented uses and higher residential densities. AO5.1 No acceptable outcomes are provided. Additional requirements for Precinct 1 – Town centre PO6 Development provides on-site car parking and vehicular access which does not dominate the streetscape. AO6.1 On-site car parking is located behind existing or new buildings. PO7 the site has frontage to a laneway: (a) car parking areas are located at the rear; (b) the laneway is utilised to access rear car parking areas. AO7.1 No acceptable outcomes are provided. PO8 Development in the town centre complements the traditional character and built form of the streetscape. AO8.1 Development in the town centre: (a) is constructed with a zero metre setback from street frontages and continues the scale of the existing built form and roof form; (b) provides a ground façade which consists of windows, wall openings or shop fronts; (c) includes windows and balconies on levels facing the street; (d) ensures any air conditioning is screened from the street frontage and public view by use of architectural features. PO9 Development enhances pedestrian comfort and connectivity throughout the town centre. AO9.1 Buildings provide continuous pedestrian weather protection over the footpath which: (a) is non-transparent; (b) is cantilevered from the building or uses non bearing posts; (c) includes under awning lighting; (d) is consistent with other pedestrian awnings in the precinct.
Additional requirements for Precinct 2 – Maher Road PO10 Development in the precinct: (a) is sequenced to avoid the creation of disconnected pockets of development; (b) has limited access to Road and utilises internal road networks. AO10.1 No acceptable outcomes are provided. PO11 Development incorporates pedestrian and cycle linkages for ease of access to the Town centre. AO11.1 No acceptable outcomes are provided. Additional requirements for Precinct 3 – Riverstone Road PO12 Development in the precinct: (a) is of a low scale and does not detract from the scenic backdrop; (b) does not interrupt to key landmarks; (c) primarily services the needs of the local catchment; (d) is screened from existing and future residential areas by landscaping and provides appropriate buffering. AO12.1 No acceptable outcomes are provided. PO13 Access to the site is via dedicated roadway entrance from Riverstone Road with adequate separation from the Gillies Highway and Bruce Highway intersection.

Additional requirements for Precinct 4 – Draper Road PO14 Development in the precinct: (a) is sequenced from Draper Road north to Mackey Creek; (b) provides for a range of housing needs; (c) delivers pedestrian, cycle and vehicular connections to surrounding communities; (d) provides community facilities, open space and recreation land as key focal points; (e) delivers integrated infrastructure networks; (f) is designed to meet overlay outcomes. AO14.1 A structure plan supports development proposing reconfiguration of land or material change of use and achieves the dwelling yields identified in Table 7.2.6.4 b. Note – Guidance on preparing a structure plan is provided within Planning scheme policy – Structure planning. PO15 Development mitigates adverse impacts on existing rural residential areas to maintain their character, amenity and mix of small scale rural activities. AO15.1 No acceptable outcomes are provided.
