1/1 Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Team – Terms of Reference Re: Minute: P06/03/11 Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Team From: Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and

Communities. File: 6-5-14-0007 Date: 22 November 2010 “I am writing to invite you to participate in a Steering Committee which is being proposed to oversee the development of a threatened species recovery plan for the Mary River. Your organisation was identified as a potential participant at a recent meeting between this department and representative groups.



As you are aware, threatened species recovery plans are required to be developed for identified species under the Environmental Protection Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Recovery plans identify actions necessary to ensure the continued survival of a species or group of species in the wild and are developed in consultation with the community. In the Mary River there are a number of threatened species listed under the EPBC Act including the Mary River Cod, Mary River Turtle and Lungfish. A species recovery plan has been approved under the EPBC Act for the Mary River Cod and a plan is required under the EPBC Act for the Lungfish. The Mary River Turtle has a conservation advice which provides a short summary of key actions that should be undertaken. Key stakeholders to date have suggested a whole of riverine approach to developing a threatened species recovery plan for the Mary River. To progress this idea further, you are cordially invited to send a suitable representative from your organisation to a meeting at the Gympie Bridge Club on Wednesday the 8th December 2010, 10am-4pm. The role of the Steering Committee is to coordinate the development of the recovery plan. In this initial meeting the terms of reference, frequency of meetings and formalisation of a Steering Committee will be discussed.” Executive Summary: The Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Team has been formed and will be responsible for preparing and implementing the Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Plan. Council has been asked to send a representative to attend the Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Team meetings, and also to endorse the draft Terms of Reference. Previous Council Considerations: Minute - G14/09/10; Council acknowledged receipt of information relating to the Mary River Recovery Plan. Report: (Environmental Planning Officer– A.J. Gosley) 1.0 Introduction The Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Team was established following a meeting with stakeholders in the Burnett Mary region, in which it was identified that there are several recovery plans required for species in this region (including the Mary River Cod, Mary River Turtle and Lungfish). Recovery plans are prepared for threatened species listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Recovery plans remain in force until the species is removed from this list.



According to the Australian Government Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities website ‘recovery plans are binding on the Australian Government - once a recovery plan is in place, Australian Government agencies must act in accordance with that plan’. 2.0 Role of the Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Team The Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Team will be responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of the Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Plan. A Council Officer will be required to attend approximately three meetings in the January – June 2011 period. If the Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Plan is not finalised and endorsed additional meetings may required. 3.0 Conclusion In conclusion it is recommended that Council send a representative to attend the Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Team meetings. Also that Council endorse the draft Terms of Reference. 4.0 Strategic Implications: Corporate Plan: 3.1 Operational Plan: 4.4 (i) Budget: NA. Legal/Statutory: NA. Risks: NA. 5.0 Consultation: Director of Planning and Development 6.0 Attachments Draft Terms of Reference – Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Team (See Attachment 1)

P06/03/11 Moved: Cr R.A. Gâté Seconded: Cr J. Watt Recommend that Council endorse the continued participation by the Environmental Planning Officer in the Mary River Threatened Species Recovery Team.

SECTION 3: RECONFIGURING A LOT APPLICATIONS 3/1 DA17847 – Development Application for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to

Create Four (4) Additional Lots, 410 Old Maryborough Road, Araluen – C. Ryan

FILE: Minute: P08/03/11 DA17847 APPLICANT: C. Ryan LANDOWNER: C. Ryan RPD: Lot 3 on MPH30336 SITE: 410 Old Maryborough Road, Araluen PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to

create four (4) additional lots NO. OF LOTS: Four (4) EXISTING ZONE: Rural Residential



Report: (Director of Planning & Development – M. Hartley) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This application was previously reported to Council’s General Meeting held on 10 December 2008 where it was resolved vide minute G20/12/08: ‘That Council advise the applicant for development application (DA17847) for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to create four (4) additional lots over Lot 3 on MPH30336 located at 410 Old Maryborough Road, Araluen that it does not support the application in its current form, but will reconsider the proposal following submission of an amended plan showing lots with a minimum area of 6 000m2.’ 2.0 PREVIOUS REPORT A copy of the previous report is reproduced below.

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal

This application seeks approval for a rural residential subdivision off Old Maryborough Road, Araluen.



Five (5) lots, each with an approximate area of 4 000m2 are proposed. 1.2 Site Description The lot is currently improved by an existing dwelling, proposed to be refurbished and positioned within proposed lot 2.



It is largely cleared and has frontage to both Old Maryborough and Rynoela Roads. Rynoela Road is currently unsealed. 1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Surrounding land uses are rural residential in nature. 2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1

• Gympie Planning Area Code

Planning Scheme The proposal was lodged under the 2005 Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme where the property is included in the rural residential zone. The application is subject to code assessment against the following codes:

• Reconfiguring a Lot Code • Infrastructure Works Code • Landscaping Code • Resource Areas Code 2.2

- Cooloola Council has approved 4 000m2 allotments in the past where additional elements are proposed above the minimum standards eg kerb and channel, underground power and supplementary landscaping.

Planning Scheme Provisions and Policies The lots do not comply with Council’s minimum size requirements (ie 6 000m2) or minimum road frontage of 20 metres. In justification of the application, the following is submitted: - the proposal complies with the specific outcome of the planning scheme requiring

lots to be of sufficient size and proportion for the intended use; - the applicant is prepared to provide the following additional bonus features: * kerb and channel along both frontages of the development and top soil

footpath improvement; * under ground power for new reticulation work; * limitation of access from Old Maryborough Road; and * provision of advanced street trees and supplementary tree planting in the

gully area on site within lot 1.; and



The superceded 1997 Cooloola Planning Scheme contained some provisions whereby applications proposing additional design features may be eligible for reduced lot sizes but no less than 4 000m2. As these provisions were previously interpreted it was intended where larger planned rural residential estates were proposed and not small infill subdivisions. The 2005 planning scheme contains no such provisions, however Council has used a similar approach under this scheme for developments at Pie Creek (Keeldale) and Old Maryborough Road (Belle Investments). Other applications where Council has agreed to lots less than 6 000m2 have presented site specific characteristics and in most instances still resulted in an overall minimum average of 6 000m2. Whilst Council has discussed a review of the minimum lot size for rural residential development, until such time as this is undertaken it would be considered premature to approve this application. 2.4 State Planning Policies No State Planning Policies are applicable to the development. 3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Lot Layout The lot layout proposed is regular and considered to provide sufficient area for the construction of a dwelling. It is, however, inconsistent with the existing development in the vicinity which is largely lots of 2 hectares and greater. 3.2 Water Supply and Sewerage The development is not serviced by reticulated water or sewerage. Council’s minimum water storage requirements will apply at the building approval stage for each proposed dwelling. 3.3 Site Access and Traffic The development proposes construction of Rynoela Road. The dedicated road reserve of Rynoela Road is currently only 10-12 metres wide, and therefore not complying with the minimum design standards of the Infrastructure Works Code, being 20 metres. As recommended in the design report below, road reserve widening of Rynoela Road should be required as part of any approval of this application. This would further reduce the lot sizes proposed. 3.4 Park A parks contribution would be applicable to any approval of the application.



4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal (a) Department of Engineering

Report: (Design Services Technical Officer – A.C. Walsh)

This engineering report is based on the information submitted by GECON Development Consultant and layout plan (Plan No. 3061PROPOSAL) submitted by Ahern James Naismith Cadastral Surveyors and Development Consultants to subdivide Lot 3 on MPH30336, 410 Old Maryborough Road, Gympie into five lots.

LEAD-IN ROAD/FRONTAGE ROAD Old Maryborough Road as the lead-in and frontage road is constructed to a 7metre wide bitumen standard and is classified by the Cooloola Planning Road Hierarchy as an Arterial Road. Therefore all access to the lots should be from Rynoela Road which is classified as an unmaintained road and will be required to be constructed to meet the requirements of the Infrastructure Works policy. With the potential for future development Lots 1 and 2 on MPH23362 and Lot 1 on MPH31243 on the south and east of Rynoela Road the overall road reserve width should be 20metres. This would require a 5metre road opening to Rynoela Road frontage and reduce the lot area to 3,800m2.

The consultant requested Council consideration for 4000m2 lot in return for the developer constructing kerbed channel to the frontage of the lots. The Planning and Development Department advised this is not an option under the present Cooloola Shire Planning Scheme and should not be considered in isolation as future developments along Rynoela Road are not required to provide kerbed channel.

ROAD CONTRIBUTION Road contribution would apply as per Planning Scheme Policy 12: Sealed Road Contributions for Designated Rural Residential Areas ie. $10,547 per additional lot.

STORMWATER DRAINAGE/FLOODING A small local gully traverses the south western corner of lot 1 but does not impact on a possible building site. Flooding is not a issue at this location.

EFFLUENT DISPOSAL The geotechnical assessment submitted by Unearth Geotechnical revealed advance secondary effluent treatment systems would be required of lots 1, 2 and 5. Council’s property records to be noted accordingly and the geotechnical reports to be made available to potential purchases. Recommendation: (Director of Planning & Development – M. Hartley) That Council advise the applicant for development application (DA17847) for Reconfiguring of a Lot – Subdivision to create four (4) additional lots over Lot 3 on MPH30336 located at 410 Old Maryborough Road, Araluen that it does not support the application in its current form, but will reconsider the proposal following submission of an amended plan showing lots with a minimum area of 6 000m2.



3.0 FURTHER SUBMISSION On 20 December 2010 the applicant submitted the following amended plan and correspondence.



‘I refer to your correspondence dated 22 October 2010 regarding the applicant’s intention to progress the application. It is noted that the application was lodged with 5 x 4000 sqm lots and Councils stated preference is for 3 x 6000 sqm lots which complies with the Planning Scheme. In a recent informal discussion with Councils Planning and Development Director Mr. Mike Hartley the possibility of 4 x 5000 sqm was canvassed as a potential compromise. There appeared to be some willingness by Council to consider the compromise. It is noted that we have previously submitted some justification to support reduced lots sizes and it noted that the compromise is close to complying with the normally required standard. Attached is a rough plan of the potential compromise solution. Could you please review the compromise and advise if it might be acceptable. Depending upon the outcome of Councils deliberations our client will advise Council formally of their intentions Please discuss as required and I look forward to Councils advice’ 4.0 Director of Planning and Development – 23 February 2010 The modified proposal is considered to be an improvement on the original; however it still falls short of achieving the code’s specific requirement of minimum 6,000 square metre lots. Accordingly, sufficient planning grounds would need to be established to warrant Council’s approval of the application despite this conflict, having regard to the purpose of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code. The purpose of the code states that:

“if a new lot or a separate part of a lot is created, the lot or part of the lot is of sufficient size and suitable proportions having regard to: (i) its useability for its intended purpose in accordance with design

standards; and, (ii) the location of any significant physical constraints including

economic or ecological resources or natural features and any need for separation; and,

(iii) the susceptibility to existing or potential natural hazards. (iv) the need for separation from incompatible uses including adjoining

land uses and important infrastructure;”



In relation to the subject proposal, the proposed lots are largely cleared of vegetation, elevated and unconstrained, indicating that the proposed reduced lot sizes would not compromise their useability to any meaningful degree. There are no significant physical constraints or natural features needing separation, and the land is not identified as particularly susceptible to natural hazards. The land is also located in an area of rural residential development and the proposed lots would not be adjacent to any incompatible land uses or important infrastructure. The proposal, in its modified (reduced lot yield) form, is considered to achieve the purpose of the code and Council can approve the application on that basis. Furthermore, the draft Wide Bay Burnett Statutory Regional Plan – introduced subsequent to this application being made in late 2007 – limits the availability of land for rural residential development and in fact suggests limited future development opportunities for some existing rural residential areas in the Gympie region. Although Council has yet to consider this issue formally as part of the preparation of the new planning scheme, one consequence of the limitations placed on Council by the Regional Plan is the prospect of rural residential lot sizes below 6,000 square meters in appropriate circumstances. With a minimum lot size of 5,151 square metres, and having regard to the nature of the development site as described above, the subject proposal would be entirely consistent with such a policy position.

P08/03/11 Moved: Cr A.J. Perrett Seconded: Cr R.A. Gâté

Recommend that in relation to development application (DA17847) for Reconfiguring of a Lot – Subdivision to create three (3) additional lots over Lot 3 on MPH30336 located at 410 Old Maryborough Road, Araluen Council, as Assessment Manager, approve the application subject to conditions to be determined by the Director of Planning and Development.

Carried.



3/2 2010 – 1566 – Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create One (1) Additional

Lot – Lot 38 RP903723 (16 Charles Place) – M & B Martin

FILE: Minute: P09/03/11 2010-1566 APPLICANT: M & B Martin LANDOWNER: T. M & B. E Martin RPD: Lot 38 RP903723 SITE: 16 Charles Place, Curra PROPOSAL: Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision

to Create One (1) Additional Lot EXISTING ZONE: Rural Residential PLANNING AREA: Tiaro LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT: Code SITE AREA: 1 hectare



KEY POINT SUMMARY

• Reconfiguring a Lot application to create one (1) additional lot. • Site zoned Rural Residential, adjoining other Rural Residential blocks. • No referral agencies. • Site currently has one (1) dwelling house and one (1) domestic

outbuilding. • Proposal does not comply with the minimum Rural Residential Lot size

of 6000m2 specified by the Tiaro Shire Council Planning Scheme. • Proposed area for Lot 1 - 5500m2 and Lot 2 - 4500m2. • Application considered contrary to current planning intentions for Curra. • Insufficient planning grounds exist to support the proposal. • Reconfiguring a Lot application is in conflict with the provisions of Tiaro

Shire Council’s Planning Scheme and therefore recommended for Refusal.

Report: (Cadet Planning Officer – P. Meredith) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Proposal The application seeks to create one (1) additional Rural Residential lot from an existing 1 hectare lot. The proposed lot sizes are Lot 1 - 5,500m2 and Lot 2 - 4,500m2. Proposed Lot 1 road frontage is 25 metres and will retain existing access to Charles Place. Proposed Lot 1 will retain existing dwelling and domestic outbuilding and the existing septic trenches will be relocated to be contained within the proposed lot. Proposed Lot 2 to gain access to newly constructed road Gleneagles Drive (part of the road network for the St Andrews development) with a road frontage of 44 metres.



1.2 Site Description The site has an area of 1 hectare and is generally flat land cleared of major vegetation. The access to the site is within the cul-de-sac of Charles Place and the site currently contains one existing dwelling house and a domestic outbuilding. The site is burdened by electricity easement (EMT K) 10 metres wide and 123 metres in length along the western boundary of the site.



Remnant Vegetation mapping exists over the subject site, but given that the site has been cleared of vegetation and the size of the development site is less than 2 ha, the application was not required to be referred to the Department of Environment and Resource Management 1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Allotments along both sides of Charles Place are zoned Rural Residential, as are the properties along Curra Estate Road and Clarkson Drive to the south. 2.0 STATE PLANNING REQUIREMENTS No State Planning Policies were applicable. 3.0

• Reconfiguring a Lot Code

PLANNING SCHEME REQUIREMENTS The application for Reconfiguring a Lot in the Rural Residential Zone was lodged under the Tiaro Shire Council Planning Scheme 2005. Reconfiguring a Lot in the Rural Residential Zone is ‘Code Assessable’ development. The following codes apply to the assessment:

• Rural Residential Zone Code • Landscape & Buffer Code . 3.1 Reconfiguring a Lot Code The proposal can generally comply with ‘6.81 Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions for Reconfiguring a Lot Code – Probable Solutions’. However the proposal cannot comply with the following. Column 2 - Probable Solutions (a) (i) Allotments comply with the minimum dimensions for the particular zone listed below: (Rural Residential Min Size 6000m2) (Min Ratio Frontage/Depth 1:4) The proposed development complies with the minimum road frontage required however the proposed lot sizes are well below the minimum required size for Rural Residential Lots and the proposed lots do not meet the minimum requirement for Frontage/Depth of 1:4.



Under ‘6.80 Overall Outcomes For Reconfiguring a Lot Code (2) The overall outcomes sought for the Reconfiguring a Lot code’ are: (a) Lots are of a size and dimension suitable for their intended use.

The Tiaro Shire Council Planning Scheme 2005 has deemed the minimum lot size suitable for the Rural Residential Zone is 6000m2. The proposal cannot meet the outcomes as proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2 are well below the minimum lot size. (b) Reconfiguring a lot creates a high level of amenity. The proposal intends to create one (1) additional lot (Lot 2) with an area of 4500m2 with the remaining lot (Lot 1) 5500m2. This significant decrease in lot size will impact upon the developments ability to provide sufficient area for a dwelling and other structures associated with rural residential development, without impacting on the locality’s amenity. Over the proposal site there is an electrical easement (EMT K) that will further restrict the potential building area for a dwelling. Approval of a lot size less than the minimum required would likely establish an undesirable precedent for the area and compromise the ability of the area to meet the desired outcomes for the Rural Residential Zone. (c) Creation of lots which provide a high level of access and transport, a full

range of services, where applicable, provisions of means to maintain and improve the amenity of the locality, and to avoid creating situations which may impact on the efficient functioning of the locality.

The proposal generally meets the outcome for access however in regards to public transport the nearest school bus route is approximately 745 metres from proposed Lot 2. It is noted during the assessment of the required road widths for the St. Andrews development, that the existing lots to the south of Gleneagles Drive were not considered in the assessment as the area of these lots, (10,000m2 approx.) were not considered as having potential for subdivision. An increase in allotments for the area would likely cause an accumulative impact upon the road network and an overall degrading of the locality’s amenity.

The proposal generally meets the outcomes for (d) (e) (f) & (g) of ‘6.80 Overall Outcomes For Reconfiguring a Lot Code - (2) The overall outcomes sought for the Reconfiguring a Lot code’.



3.2 Rural Residential Zone Code The proposal generally meets the overall outcomes for ‘4.13 Overall outcomes for Rural Residential Zone’, however for outcome; ‘(a) A residential precinct with high amenity and semi rural atmosphere in which the natural features are maintained’; the proposed non-compliance with the required minimum lot size and minimum frontage to depth ratio added with the further constraint of an electrical easement over the site will impact upon the proposal’s ability to meet this outcome.

3.3 Landscape And Buffer Code Proposal generally complies. Martoo Consulting on behalf of the applicant Michael & Barbara Martin submitted the following information in support of the proposal on 19 January 2011. “Specific Outcome (a)(i) in the Reconfiguring a Lot Code in the 2005 Tiaro Planning Scheme is reproduced in italics below with our assessment following in bold: (a)(i) Allotments are of size dimensions to meet the outcomes for development in the zones in respect of: • sustainability of the productive capacity of rural land - Not applicable; • maintaining the ecological quality of an area - Complies. The existing lot is a rural residential lot currently used for rural residential purposes and there are no significant environmental features known to be located on the site or affecting this development application. The proposed development is expected to maintain the ecological quality of the site and the surrounding area and is not expected to have any adverse environmental impacts; • preserving GQAL for agriculture and animal production - Not applicable; • achieving a safe and pleasant residential environment with green space for the well being of residents. - Complies on the following grounds;- 1. The site benefits from two road frontages and each proposed lot has a

different road frontage with safe access therefore the development will not generate any additional traffic along Charles Place and each proposed lot will have an independent sense of place.



2. The site is primarily clear of vegetation and is not subject to any significant physical constraints therefore the lots contain fully usable area so there is ample area on proposed Lot 2 for the construction of a dwelling house and associated infrastructure in a location that is suitably setback from Curra Estate Road, the boundaries of the lot, and from the existing dwelling houses on adjoining lots including proposed Lot 1. The provision of significant separation distances between the rural residential infrastructure on the proposed lots and adjoining lots will achieve a safe and pleasant rural residential environment and retain sufficient areas of green space for the well being of the residents of the area.

providing a variety of lot sizes for industry (aI/ impacts) and commerce. It is widely acknowledged that where a rural residential lot can be fully utilised a lot area of 4000 square metres is sufficient for the lots to be used for rural residential purposes and to maintain a high level of rural residential amenity. Council has demonstrated its support for the development of rural residential lots below 6000 square metres where appropriate in various localities by approving such subdivision development. In the Curra locality in particular we note that examples of approved lots between 4000 and 6000 square metres include: • 4 Jamie Avenue (Lot 2 on SP207677) - 5000m2 • 8 Jamie Avenue (Lot 1 on SP207677) - 5000m2 • 240 Rodney Road (Lot 2 on SP194656) - 5992m2 • Rodney Road (Lot 2 on SP213094) - 4260m2 • 60 Cliff Jones Road (Lot 1 on SP219583) - 5222m2 • 80 Clarkson Drive (Lot 1 on SP196681) - 5000m2 • 100 Clarkson Drive (Lot 1 on SP208255) - 5000m2 • Atkinson Road (Lot 2 on SP144366) - 5006m2 • 17 to 35 O'Dea Road (Lots 1 to 5 on C4911) - 4047m2 The applicants submit that the site is suitable for subdivision development into a 4500m2 lot and a 5500m lot because it is capable of being fully utilised and benefits from two road frontages (unlike many of the approved lots above) which enables the creation of two regular shaped lots with adequate road frontage and a suitable house site.” The applicant submitted that Council has demonstrated its support for the development of rural residential lots below 6000 square metres in the Curra locality and has provided examples of approved lots between 4000m2 and 6000m2. In response to this information it is noted: 4 & 8 Jamie Avenue, Lot 1 & 2 on SP207677 (each lot 5000m2)

approved on the 6th March 2008 by the Tiaro Shire Council.



240 Rodney Road, Lot 2 SP194656 (5992m2) approved on the 26th July 2006 by the Tiaro Shire Council. Not relevant as subdivision resulted in a lot size 8m2 less than minimum required due to site constraints.

Rodney Road, Lot 2 SP213094 approved on the 18th January 2007 by

the Tiaro Shire Council. The original lot was 2 ha in size and was restricted by Remnant Vegetation and a large dam on the site. The Tiaro Shire Council recognised these issues and made allowances for this and approved lot 2 at 4260m2. The non-compliance with the minimum lot size required was a result of the effort to minimize the potential clearing of remnant vegetation and to contain the large dam within the boundaries of proposed lot 1.

60 Cliff Jones Road, Lot 1 SP219583 approved on the 15th October

2008 (5222m2). Applicant originally applied for approval for a lot size of 6100m2. However due to the presence of Remnant Vegetation over proposed lot 2 the Department of Natural Resources and Water (now DERM) as a concurrence agency put a condition for approval that all Remnant Vegetation must be included within proposed lot 2 with a 10mt buffer to the lot boundary. Council approved the subdivision and therefore the non-compliance with the minimum lots size requirements to allow the subdivision to accommodate and comply with the concurrence agency conditions.

80 Clarkson Drive, Lot 1 SP196681. No file found.

100 Clarkson Drive, Lot 1 SP208255 approved on the 20th September

2007 by the Tiaro Shire Council (5804m2). Incorrectly submitted as having a lot area of 5000m2 by Martoo Consulting as part of the supporting information. The Tiaro Shire Council made allowances for site constraints and approved a lot size 196m2 less than the minimum required for the zone. Council made these allowances as the proposed lot shape was considered highly amenable and with dual road frontages exceeding the minimum required, the lot size was deemed acceptable.

4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal (a) Design Department Comments Report

5.0

: (Design Services Technical Officer – A.C. Walsh) These engineering comments are based on the information submitted by Martoo Consulting to subdivide Lot 38 RP903723, 16 Charles Place Curra, into two (2) lots. FRONTAGE ROADS The proposal plan shows lot 1 using the existing access from Charles Place with lot 2 fronting and gaining access from the newly constructed Gleneagles Drive, which forms part of the road network for the St. Andrews development to the north. When assessing the required road widths for the St. Andrews development, the existing lots to the south of Gleneagles Drive were not considered in the assessment as the area of these lots, (10,000m2 approx.) fell well short of the 12,000m2 required by the Tiaro Shire Planning Scheme to create lots with a minimum area of 6,000m2. This being the case, no lots on the southern side of Gleneagles Drive should be allowed to subdivide with access from the said road.

The proposal site is situated within the Rural Residential Zone with the majority of lots in the nearby vicinity being 1 hectare or more in size. An approval for lots that do not meet the required minimum lot size for the zone would likely establish an undesirable precedent for the area and would compromise the ability of the area to meet the desired outcomes for the Rural Residential Zone. The applicant has not provided sufficient planning grounds for non compliance with the planning scheme. There are no physical constraints, infrastructure or environmental issues over the proposal site that would support a reason for not meeting the minimum lot size requirements for the Rural Residential Zone other than the fact that the proposal site is 1 ha in area.

CONCLUSION



The locality’s subdivision was established as a rural residential subdivision with the majority of lots within the locality 1ha or above in size, which assures that wholesale subdivision does not occur. If the minimum lot size for the Rural Residential Zone is relaxed without sound planning reasons it would result in the majority of 1 ha lots within this locality having the potential for subdivision. This potential for subdivision would be at the expense of the surrounding community who thought the town plan guaranteed their amenity and privacy afforded when electing to reside in a Rural Residential Zoned area. Therefore with due consideration for the above mentioned information and the non-compliance with the Tiaro Shire Council’s Planning Scheme provisions, the application is recommended for refusal.

P09/03/11 Moved: Cr R.J. Dyne Seconded: Cr J. Watt

Recommend that Council as Assessment Manger, REFUSE, development application 2010-1566 for Reconfiguring a Lot – Subdivision to Create One (1) Additional Lot over Lot 38 RP903723 at 16 Charles Place, Curra for the following reasons: (i) The proposal conflicts with the Tiaro Shire Council Planning Scheme

2005. (ii) The proposed lots are below the minimum lot size for subdivision

within the Rural Residential Zone. (iii) Approval would likely establish an undesirable precedent for the

area. (iv) Approval would impact upon the amenity for the area. (v) The proposal cannot meet the Overall Outcomes For Reconfiguring

KEY POINT SUMMARY

• Reconfiguring a Lot application to create 153 additional lots in seven (7)

stages; • Proposed lots range between 451m2 and 958m2. There is a balance area

to be utilised as reserve and for road opening; • The western lot (19 RP116489) is zoned Housing and the eastern lots (7

MPH23459 & Lot 1 MPH5284) are zoned Rural, adjoining the Victory Heights Estate on Sproule Road and extending the existing urban area along Ranson Road. There are other rural zoned parcels to the east and north;

• The application was referred to the Department of Environment and Resource Management as a Concurrence Agency

• Department of Environment and Resource Management only support the removal of lots 1-28 from the Environmental Management Register;

• The number of lots below the minimum 600m2 lot size is considered unacceptable;

• The subject site is an area designated for a local park under Council’s Open Space and Recreation Plan;

• Application was not required to be formally advertised due to level of assessment being Code;

• Approval is recommended for Stages 1-3; • Preliminary Approval only is recommended for stages 4 – 6.

1.0 Introduction This application seeks Council’s approval for Reconfiguring a Lot to allow a Housing subdivision on Ranson Road and Sproule Road, on the fringe of Gympie and Victory Heights. 1.1 Site Description The development site is located on three (3) parcels of land between Ranson Road, Sproule Road and Spring Road, on the fringe of Gympie and Victory Heights, approximately 2 kilometres by road to the Gympie central business district. It is positioned on the fringe of the existing urban developed area in Gympie and Victory Heights and is currently improved by the ‘Little’s Wrecking Yard’ car wreckers. This business is to be relocated as a consequence of the development. The majority of the site has been previously cleared to facilitate the proposed development. The topography is undulating with varying slopes of up to 16% in parts.



A cleared easement accommodating high voltage transmission lines crosses the site in the south-west corner. An unformed road reserve borders the entire eastern boundary of Lot 7 MPH23459 and Lot 1 MPH5284. 1.2 The Proposal The application proposes a residential subdivision of 153 allotments with lot sizes varying from 451m2 to 958m2 in area. One (1) area of drainage reserve is included on the proposal plan having a total area of 9361m2. New roads are also proposed which will connect to existing roads, including Sproule Road (to the west of the site), Ranson Road (to the south of the site) and Spring Road (to the east of the site).

The application has been supported by: (i) a traffic assessment report; and (ii) water and sewerage analysis and preliminary reticulation design plans.



The proposed layout is reproduced below.



\



1.3 Surrounding Land Uses Land immediately to the north, west and south-east of the development site is residential with varying lot sizes and are connected to reticulated water and sewerage. Land to the east is rural in nature.



2.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Intent of the Zone

The intent of the rural zone is primarily for rural uses, but it also allocates land for future urban, rural residential or other purposes. The intent of the Housing Zone is to ensure that a range of housing forms are available that provide a high level of amenity; and well designed, attractive medium density housing is available in proximity to services and transport. The proposal, which is to be fully serviced at the developer’s cost, represents a logical extension of urban residential uses given the adjacent housing development. 2.2 Draft Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan The subject site is wholly located within the ‘Urban Footrpint’ area within the Draft Wide Bay Burnett Regulatory Provisions 2010. Although Lot 1 MPH5284 and Lot 7 MPH23459 are zoned Rural under the provisions of Council’s Planning Scheme, the Draft Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan supports the in-filling of this area for Housing development. 2.3 Compliance with the Planning Scheme

2.3.1 Scheme Definition This Reconfiguring a Lot application is ‘Code Assessable’ development, and is assessable against the following Codes within Council’s Planning Scheme: - Gympie Planning Area Code; - Reconfiguring a Lot Code; - Infrastructure Works Code; - Landscaping Code; and - Resource Areas Code. 2.3.2 Development Provisions Provisions for residential allotments include: - Minimum 600m2 lot size; - Minimum rectangle of 20 x 15 metre - Minimum road frontage of 20m per allotment; - House sites on slopes no greater than 15%. Not all lots meet the minimum lot size requirements, as they range in size from 451m2 to 958m2.



Road frontages for proposed lots are mostly 20 metres with the exception of those in cul-de-sac heads where a lesser standard is considered acceptable given the lot shapes within the road network. The majority of allotments within the smaller lot precinct as part of Stages 5 and 6 of the development also do not have compliant road frontages. The applicant submits the following grounds for the smaller lot precinct as part of Stages 5 and 6: ‘The proposed estate design includes a precinct of small-lot housing lots of minimum area 450m2. This precinct is introduced to provide alternative residential living on lots of smaller area,, a trend that is becoming popular for affordability, for lifestyle and is supporting the principles of achieving higher population densities, and better use of Council’s existing infrastructure. The small-lot housing lots are designed to meet the following criteria: - Lots in excess of 400m2 in area are able to contain a rectangle measuring

10 x 15 clear of building setback from the street frontage. - The small-lot housing lots are grouped in precincts where the locality

amenity remains constant with the precinct. - Lots are of sufficient area to allow for the establishment of a house with

adequate private open space, vehicle access, parking and clothes drying areas.

- Where houses are integrated and coordinated to ensure the lots are of practical dimensions and areas.

- The small-lot housing provides a mix of allotment sizes.’

It is appreciated that the proposal outlines a need for higher density residential development. Council has, in the recent past approved some larger subdivisions incorporating some smaller lots to provide housing choice and to support provision of affordable housing. Thirty-six (36) out of sixty-three (63) lots within Stages 5 and 6 are below the minimum lot size. This is not at a scale consistent with surrounding nearby development patterns, and it is considered justified to require a re-design whereby the amount of lots below the minimum lot size does not exceed 15% of the total number of lots. These smaller lots have also previously been approved by Council in a large precinct in the Gympie/Southside urban area, but have been scattered amongst compliant lot sizes. The subject sites are not identified as part of the Mixed Housing Preferred Use Area, nor is there a development pattern in the nearby area that is consistent with these smaller lot sizes. The development at present proposes 41/158 lots (~26%) below 600m2, however with a re-design to include no more than 15% this would be reduced to 23 lots.



Hatchet shaped lots are proposed for lots 11 and 13. Both of these lots meet the 800m2 minimum for hatchet allotments with maximum 50 metre long handles. As the majority lots are above the minimum lot size they are considered to provide reasonable ability for a variety of house sites to be constructed, but given the topography, stormwater management should be given due consideration. 2.4 Local and/or State Planning Policies Current Council mapping suggests the majority of the site contains segments of Good Quality Agricultural Land, however, as the land has been designated for Urban purposes by the Draft Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan, it is considered that State Planning Policy 1/92 has already been addressed. Further the site constraints of slope, drainage, environmental value and its positioning adjacent to existing urban development limit its viability for agricultural purposes.

3.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Appropriateness of the Proposal and Need The area is considered a logical extension of the urban area. Specific conditions in relation to the management and use of this area should form part of any approval of the application. In addressing the need for additional residential development to that land included in the Housing Zone the applicant provides the following grounds. ‘The proposed estate is essentially an ‘in fill’ development with adjacent surrounding land parcels either developed as residential estates or undergoing development application lodgement with Council. Due to the nature of the surrounding land uses there are no consideration required for protecting the proposed new lots from agricultural uses of land in the locality of this development.’ 3.2 Impact on Amenity No amenity concerns are raised by the proposal given the adjoining residential development and likely community expectation for development of this general area.



A 1.8 metre high timber paling fence (or similar material approved by Council) should be constructed along the adjoining property boundary with Lots 1 MPH6397 and 200 SP194655, at the rear of proposed lots 13-19 and proposed lots 49-59 to separate potential land use conflicts with this rural parcel until it is developed for residential purposes. 3.3 Site Access and Traffic Four (4) new road points of access are proposed to service this development. One access will be from the continuation of Ranson Road at the south-westerly corner of the development; another will be the continuation of Sproule Road on the western side of the development; and there will be two new roads intersecting at different points along the unconstructed section of Spring Road, to be constructed as part of this proposal on the eastern side of the site. Consideration of road connections to adjoining lots is not required as adjoining sites all have direct access to suitable roads to service future urban development. A road contribution will be required as a result of the increased traffic generated by this development in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 13.

Council’s Design Services Division comments further relate. 3.4 Flooding The site is not known to be subject to flooding.

3.5 Site Contamination The site is listed on the Environmental Management Register and was referred to the Department of Environment and Resource Management as a Concurrence Agency. Further comments may be found in this regard in section 4 of this report. 3.6 Utilities and Services The site is outside the defined water service and sewerage reticulation areas. Headworks charges are therefore applicable for each allotment with no credits available. Water and sewer will be required to be extended and connected to service each of the new lots within the subdivision. Council’s Design Services Division comments further relate.



Arrangements to connect the development externally to sewerage and water should be finalised prior to the issue of a development permit for operational work for the first stage and include implementation of an infrastructure agreement. 3.7 Pathways This area is not identified in Council’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategy, likely due to its zoning at the time of preparation, therefore no construction of external pathways are recommended. It is, however, recommended that the developer construct an internal pathway along the main collector roads from Sproule and Ranson Roads to Spring Road. A pathway within the proposed drainage reserve would also assist in servicing the open space recommended in section 3.13 following.

3.8 Stormwater As further detailed in the engineering report following, stormwater management will be a key consideration during the detailed design phase of the development. Whilst retention of the existing drainage gully through the site may be a key tool in this management, disposal of stormwater to this area from future sealed roads and building areas must be carefully managed in regards to its quality and velocity. Adequate stormwater measures will need to be implemented at the operational works stage will be a high priority. A detailed erosion and sediment control plan will also need to be submitted as part of any subsequent operational works application in order to minimise adverse impacts. 3.9 Open Space The applicant proposes one drainage reserve throughout Stages 1 and 2 of the proposal and requests monetary credit for parks contributions be granted for this. Council’s Open Space and Recreation Plan identifies a requirement over the development site for a ‘local park’, therefore provision is recommended to be accommodated for this within the lot layout. The drainage reserve is not considered usable parkland and should not be credited as park contribution.



Development Site



The Open Space and Recreation Plan also identifies a need in this locality for a future district park, but not on the development site. This issue was discussed with Council’s Parks Manager who supports provision of a local park over lots 68, 75, 76, 84 and 85, being a total of 3 735m2.

It is preferred Council retain control of planning/design for the park with the use of monetary park contributions from this estate, the existing estate in Sproule Road and other developments in the vicinity yet to occur. Lot 68 provides for good connection to Spring Road for pedestrian access and for future connectivity to a likely future drainage reserve on the eastern side of Spring Road. This is not to be utilised as car parking access for the park.

The area of park recommended to be dedicated is 3 735m2 or 0.3735 Ha. With a total development site area of 14.66 hectares this equated to 2.55% of the land area, therefore the remaining 7.45% should be dedicated in the form of a monetary contribution. This results in a current per lot contribution of $1 410 (ie 1892 ÷ 10 x 7.45). A minor re-design of the lot layout may achieve this outcome for Council’s requirements for a useable park area. The area suggested is at the southern cul-de-sac as part of the new road opening within Stage 2. This will allow the dedicated area to be used in conjunction with the drainage reserve at times, and the design should incorporate linkages via footpaths from the proposed new road network.

4.0 CONSULTATION 4.1 Internal Report: (General Manager Design Services - R. Chapman) This engineering report is based on the information submitted by Bay Survey Consultants and supporting information from Opus International Consultants (Aust) Pty Ltd. TRAFFIC The development is within the area included in Council's Urban Road Contribution Policy No. 13 and will therefore attract current contributions of $3,562 per lot paid at each stage of the development. ROAD ACCESS / FRONTAGE ROADS Access to Stage 1 will be from Sproule Road which provides an adequate width urban standard road with no frontage works required.



Stages 2 and 3 will have access via Stage 1 and Sproule Road. These stages also have frontage to Spring Road which is an unmaintained road at these frontages. The internal road in Stage 3 intersects Spring Road at the end of the maintained road which is low standard unsealed for 120 metres before it is sealed for approximately 200 metres also to a low standard being only 3.5 metres wide and of rural type cross section. This lead in road should be constructed to suit a future kerb and channel type cross section road of urban arterial status due to its suitability as a cross link from the Victory area to Rifle Range Road / Cootharaba Road areas. An ultimate width of 9 metres is proposed to match that already constructed at the northern end of Spring Road at Barton Road. The lead in road could be constructed to 5.5 metres allowing for kerb and channel and 1.75 metre widening each side by future developers / Council with a 5.5 metre wide road with kerb and channel along the frontage, ie half width road plus a metre as per standard. A 1.5 metre wide footpath should be constructed along this frontage. For road access purposes it would be preferable for Stage 2 to be constructed after Stage 3 as there is no connection to Spring Road frontage in Stage 2 until after Stage 3 is built. Stage 4 will rely on access from Spring Road constructed in Stages 2 and 3 as well as a 100 metre link to the south over sub-standard width of 4 to 5 metres wide to where Spring Road is constructed to a suitable urban standard. Stage 5 will then provide a connection into Ranson Road to where it intersects with Grandview Place. Stage 6 is entirely within the site connecting into Stages 4 and 5. INTERNAL ROADS / LOT LAYOUT The road layout is considered acceptable from a traffic aspect as it discourages rat running through the estate. My attempts to require the applicant to locate the primary road along the major drainage path have not been heeded. Instead the applicant is proposing a drainage reserve / open space of 9361m2 that has been justified by the applicant's consultants as the latest trend in acceptable stormwater design known as WSUD (Water Sensitive Urban Design). This drainage path as proposed is critical to the road layout and also the lot layout. It is approximately 330 metres long with an average width of 28.4 metres. It is understood the applicant wishes this area to be also considered as a contribution towards open space which is a Town Planning matter. As a drainage reserve it will still require regular maintenance although from the landscape design submitted for the area, only slashing with a rural type tractor is proposed. Estimated annual maintenance cost is $3,500. The two (2) new road access points onto Spring Road should be acceptable for intersection sight distance but may need adjustment during engineering design. Lots 59, 60, 79 and 155 at these intersections should access only off the internal road. A 1.2 metre wide footpath should be provided along the Ranson Road extension through to Spring Road.



The small lot area in Stages 5 and 6 is a Town Planning matter however it would appear to be a means of maximising lot numbers within the area available for roads, lot depth and drainage reserve. The majority of these small lots do not have direct access to the "recreation area" (drainage reserve / open space) as claimed. Hence, Council needs to determine if the drainage reserve concept as proposed is acceptable for the lot and internal road layouts to be approved otherwise a revised layout will be required. EARTHWORKS This is a very steep site and major earthworks with cuts of up to 3 metres required to achieve appropriate road construction standards. It would appear that significant spoil (8,000m3) may have to be carted off site. The haul route to be used if this is the case should be via Spring Road, Barton Road onto the Gympie Connection Road. Where cuts/fills adjoin other lands, and along side boundaries of steeply graded roads walling will be required. An existing dam onsite will be subject to special backfilling treatment. FLOODING / STORMWATER DRAINAGE The site is not subject to river flooding. However, the drainage catchment area through the site is approximately 50.6 hectares with a Q100 discharge at Spring Road estimated by the consultant as 21.9m3/sec. It has been proposed to provide Q100 capacity for the culvert under Spring Road so as to prevent any afflux upstream of the culvert to ensure lots close by are above the Q100 local flood. The preliminary design for the drainage reserve will need to reviewed during the detailed design of each stage. Overland flow paths are provided as drainage reserves / road reserves at locations where an easement would suffice, eg between Lots 50 and 51, 43 and 44, 39 and 40, 147 and 148, and 151 and 152. Overland flow paths between Lots 29 and 30 and 84 and 85 could also provide public access to the "recreation area". Interlot drains will be required throughout the estate with Lots 11 to 13, 49 to 59, 103 to 108, and 148 to 156 having to accept runoff from upstream lands. Where lots fall towards the drainage reserve, only surface flows should be allowed. The interlot drain at the rear of Lots 49 and 50 should be along the rear of Lots 19 and 20 as that is the way the land slopes and water will predominantly flow. This also applies for Lots 22 and 23.



WATER SUPPLY In order to adequately supply water to the development, 150 diameter mains will be required from Ranson Road through the site to Spring Road and from Spring Road to the south and along Spring Road only as far as Lot 59 with no connection required to Barton Road. 100 diameter mains will be adequate over the balance with connection into Sproule Road. Standard metered services will have to be provided to each lot and standard headworks charges will apply per stage. SEWERAGE The site is not within the current sewer service area. However, all of Stage 1 and half of Stages 2 and 3 and small part of Stage 6 can be sewered to the existing pump station constructed for the adjacent upstream development as per the headworks policy. The balance of the estate will require this pump station to be relocated to Spring Road where it would also service additional areas to the east of Spring Road. Sewer extensions through proposed lots will be required in several locations as will a sewer to eliminate the existing pump station G 4d. How this is to be arranged and the cost sharing involved needs to be included in an agreement between Council and the developer. The method of sewering virtually dictates the way the staging should be arranged bearing in mind the comments made above regarding Stages 2 and 3 as well as road access to Spring Road frontage lots. This has been recommended accordingly. Standard headworks will apply with any other additional costs or cost sharing detailed in the agreement. MISCELLANEOUS Electricity and telecom reticulation will be required throughout at the developer's cost. This includes street lighting to Council's standards. It should be noted that this property was cleared approximately 12 months ago and no siltation or erosion control measures were implemented by the contractor and it is not known what precautions were taken as regards cultural heritage measures. It is understood the clearing was burnt on site so area of ash etc may require special treatment during earthworks. Much of Stages 5 and 6 is to be constructed over the car wrecking yard storage area. This could be subject to various contaminants such as oils, broken glass, rubber etc. Advices should be obtained regarding the appropriate treatments for such areas.



4.2 External 4.2.1 Concurrence Agencies The application required referral to one (1) concurrence agency, given the site was listed on the Environmental Management Register. (a) Department of Environment and Resource Management The Department Environment and Resource Management is identified as a Concurrence Agency as the site is listed on the Environment Management Register. This Department provided conditions for an approval of the development, also advising that removal of proposed lots 1-28 from the Environmental Management Register (contaminated land) could occur, however the remainder of Lot 19 RP116489 was to remain on the Register. 4.2.2 Nearby Residents

The original proposal for 28 additional lots was included in Council’s ½ page advertisement, however was not readvertised when the application was amended. No submissions were received. 5.0 CONCLUSION The application proposes a logical extension of Council’s urban area. Given issues raised with later stages (ie 4-6) including unacceptable number of small lots, requirement for local park dedication and the area of land remaining on the environmental management register it is recommended that a Development Permit for stages 1 – 3 be granted but only Preliminary Approval be issued for Stages 4 – 6. With the redesign of stages 4-6 it is suggested the applicant be required to provide a maximum of 15% of lots for the whole estate below 600m2 in area and that the small lots be interspersed with compliant lots.

5/1 Request for Council to Reduce Headworks Contributions for Approved

Retirement Village Development – Toolara Road, Tin Can Bay Re: Minute: P13/03/11 Request for Council Council to Reduce

Headworks Contributions for Approved Retirement Village Development

From: Cooloola Retirement Villages Pty Ltd File: WREZ118 Date: 1 February, 2011



“Cooloola Retirement Villages Pty Ltd asks Council to consider a 50% reduction in headworks charges, for the newly freeholded land on which 8 further units are to be built, for the following reasons:-

The development provides facilities which benefit elderly people living at the coast

The people living in this area are largely from a low socioeconomic group

The company has yet to make a profit despite having developed the village over the last 20 years. Although it is a small private company with older local people as shareholders, it could be considered as “not for profit” as it still carries large losses on its books.

The Bay is suffering from the economic downturn and more than ever elderly people are looking for affordable housing.

The village provides security, care and support for elderly people who are often in poor health and living on their own. The sense of community the village provides should not be underestimated.

The village provides important social infrastructure for a growing retirement area in a remote rural setting with little other infrastructure.”

Report: (Manager Development & Compliance – T. M. Stenholm) 1.0 Introduction Request is made for Council to consider a reduction in headworks required for the next stage of an approved retirement village at Tin Can Bay.



2.0 Background Rezoning of the development site from ‘Special Use Zone’ to ‘Special Facilities (Retirement Village) Zone’ was approved by Widgee Shire Council in May 1990. The associated rezoning agreement was later prepared and signed by both parties on 29 May 1990. Clause 6.1 of the agreement required the applicant to pay to ‘Council water supply and sewerage headworks contributions at each building application stage (or subdivision stage if necessary) but in any event prior to the issue of building approval or subdivision approval, whichever occurs first for each lot in accordance with Council policy current at that time’. Stage 2C comprises 9 x 2 bedroom units. 3.0 Assessment No record can be located on Council’s files of payment of headworks associated with Stage 2C and no evidence of such as been forthcoming from the developer. Headworks for two (2) bedroom units are currently levied at the following rates: Water Supply $2 669 (ie 1.9ep) Sewerage $3 883 (ie 2.2ep) TOTAL $6 552 For the nine (9) approved units in Stage 2C this amounts to a current contribution of $58 968. In August 1995 the applicant was advised of the following updated headworks amounts for the development in accordance with the rezoning deed of agreement: Water Supply $2 116 (ie 2.3 ep) Sewerage $4 740 (ie 2.6ep) TOTAL $6 856 Applying CPI to these from 1995 until August 2010, the rates would equate to: Water Supply $3 110 (ie 47% increase) Sewerage $6 967 (ie 47% increase) TOTAL $10 077



Neither the former Widgee Shire Council nor the current Cooloola Shire Council Headworks Policies contain provisions granting reductions for any particular development types or community groups. Whilst previous legal advice has indicated a new policy (ie introduced subsequent to the processing of the application) cannot be applied to previous conditions, it would be advantageous to the developer in this instance and is the recommended course of action.

P13/03/11 Moved: Cr J.A. Walker Seconded: Cr R.A. Gâté Recommend that Council advise Cooloola Retirement Village Pty Ltd that Council’s Headworks Policy does not allow for discounts to be granted for particular development types or for not-for-profit groups. However, Council agrees to apply the headworks charges levied under current Planning Scheme Policy 7: Water Supply and Sewerage Headworks Contributions, Works External and Works Internal to the remainder of the development, calculated as follows: Water supply $2 669 / unit Sewerage $3 883 / unit Note: These figures are current until 30 June 2011, after which date they will be subject to the March yearly CPI figures.

Carried.

Cr I.T. Petersen returned to the meeting at 9.57 a.m. Cr J. Watt vacated the chair and Cr I.T. Petersen resumed the role of Chairman of the meeting.
