Resolution:

Cr. Barnes moved, seconded by Cr. Peters:-

That the application be Refused and Council issue a Decision Notice (including attachments) containing the Reasons for Refusal as detailed hereunder:-

(A) The proposed development does not achieve the Desired Environmental Outcomes of the Planning Scheme for Bundaberg City (Version 1.00), namely DEO 4 – Built Environment.

DEO4 (Built Environment) states that:-

“Bundaberg’s built environment achieves set standards of amenity, energy efficiency and safety.”

Performance Indicator 4.1(c) states that:-

Minutes of the Ordinary Meeting

Meeting Held: 19 August 2008

“4.1 Amenity

(c) Urban Character, in terms of road construction, street plantings and building bulk, height and setback, of each locality within the City is maintained or enhanced.”

The development is an incompatible land use that does not maintain or enhance the urban character of the locality.

(B) The proposed development fails to comply with Version 2.00 of the Planning Scheme for Bundaberg City's Residential Strategy.

(1) Key Strategy 1.1, described as Most Relevant to Local Area 8, and Key Strategy 1.3, described as relevant to Local Area 8 states that:-

1.1 The public expectations for the future amenity of residential areas is secured by preventing the intrusion of development that could seriously detract from that amenity.

and,

1.3 A diverse range of high quality housing forms and densities are provided in appropriate locations in the City to reflect community needs (eg detached houses and dual occupancies are preferred in the Residential A Precincts; multiple dwellings, apartments and townhouses are preferred in the Residential B and C Precincts).

The proposed development is considered to be of a scale and bulk that detracts from the amenity of the surrounding residential area. The development does not satisfy public expectations in that it does not provide for the security of the amenity of the Local Area and is inappropriately located in a Residential “A” Precinct.

(2) Point 2 of the Preferred Settlement Pattern and Development Characteristics

Point 12 of the Residential Character and Facilities within the Residential Strategy require that to minimise the impact of the amenity of the surrounding area that:-

'2. Most residential development should be at standard suburban densities of maximum 50 persons per hectare. Medium density residential development (maximum 120 persons per hectare) is preferred in Residential B Precincts, on serviced lots in the vicinity of the City Centre, major suburban centres, the university site and points of major transport interchange. Such proposals must be designed to minimise their impact on the amenity of the surrounding areas.'

Minutes of the Ordinary Meeting

Meeting Held: 19 August 2008

12. New development must reflect the established positive aspects of local character particularly in relation to density, design...'

It is considered that as the proposal is not within the vicinity of the City Centre, a major suburban centre, the university site or any points of major transport interchange that it is in an unacceptable location.

The development does not also reflect, in terms of population density and design, aspects of the low density residential local character.

(3) Within the Planning Scheme for Bundaberg City (Version 2.00), the Structure Plan provides a spatial representation of the City Planning Strategies.

In the Structure Plan the subject site is included as Low Density Residential. The proposal is not deemed to represent Low Density Residential land use and therefore the site does not adequately represent the City Planning Strategies.

(C) The proposed development fails to comply with Version 2.00 of the Planning Scheme for Bundaberg City’s Local Area Planning Intent for Local Area 8.

Points 3, 4 and 5 of the Local Area Planning Intent for Local Area 8 (Version 2.00), state:-

3. Residential Multi Unit developments are primarily situated within the Residential B Precinct....' and

4. The predominate character of low density residential development within the Residential A Precinct is maintained and protected from the intrusion of higher density developments.'

5. Building height, bulk, density and design are of a scale that reflects the existing urban residential character of the local area and makes a positive contribution to North Bundaberg’s unique character.

The proposed development is located in a Residential "A" Precinct of which the predominant character is low density residential housing. The scale, density and design of the proposed development is considered to be unsympathetic to the character and amenity of the Local Area and is seen to be an intrusion of high density residential development in a low density residential area.

(D) The proposed development fails to comply with Version 2.00 of the Planning Scheme for Bundaberg City's Medium Density Residential Code.

Performance Criteria P4 which states:-

Minutes of the Ordinary Meeting

Meeting Held: 19 August 2008

“The siting and scale of residential development must be consistent with the siting and scale of other residential development within the street” .

In that:-

(i) the residential development exceeds a Residential Precinct Density of 50 persons per hectare there being proposed development site population of 21.6 persons, the allowable site population for these allotments being 10.1 persons; and

(ii) the surrounding land uses are dominated by single detached houses. The proposed development conflicts with the existing surrounding uses as it is at a significantly higher density; and

(iii) the building design, bulk and scale are incompatible with the amenity and character of the surrounding residential development.

The proposed development does not satisfy Performance Criteria P4.

Performance Criterion P6 which states that:-

“P6 Residential Development is orientated to the street and protects the visual and acoustic amenity of nearby residential uses.’

In that the siting and form of development proposed orientates living areas to the side boundaries of the site towards an adjacent residential property; and

The proposed development does not satisfy Performance Criteria P6.

The purpose of the Medium Residential Code is:-

“To ensure that medium-density residences and caravan parks are provided in appropriate locations, that building form, siting, design and use provides an acceptable on-site residential environment, that an acceptable level of infrastructure provision is achieved and that adverse off-site impacts are within limits acceptable to the local community.”

As the proposed development does not satisfy the requirements of Performance Criteria P4 and P6, it is in conflict with respect the purpose of the Medium Residential Code

(E) The proposed development does not satisfy Performance Criteria P3 of the Infrastructure Services Codes states:

“P3 Adequate protection is provided against damage to existing underground infrastructure services, and access is available for future maintenance of the services.”
