EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Council is in receipt of a Development Application for Operational Work (Clearing Native Vegetation). The small size of the lots generally from 530m2 – 798m² results in the removal of trees at the building approval stage which has placed significant cost on the end purchaser. The Developer, Multiplex Bluewater Pty Ltd has applied for the removal of existing trees from eleven (11) lots so as to avoid the cost of tree removal being borne by the purchaser of the lots.

Approval is recommended subject to conditions.

BACKGROUND

Council approved an application for a Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 Lot into 92 Lots) in February 2006 (8/13/882). This approval was Stage 2 of the Bluewater Views Estate. To date, a single part stage of the approval has been completed with a plan of survey being registered in 2008 and a number of lots having been built on.

The original Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 Lot into 92 Lots) was approved based on the condition that vegetation was retained as far as practically possible. In particular the approval conditioned that:

Vegetation Retention and Infrastructure Services Plan

8. The applicant/owner is to submit a plan(s) that clearly identifies all vegetation on the subject site (as located in the Vegetation Survey Plans numbered 71058-31, 71058-32, 71058-33 and 7108-34 drawn by C&B Group dated 28 February 2005) with a minimum diameter of 500 millimetres. The plan(s) shall provide details of the expected locations of traffic carriageways, footpaths, service lines and other on-street works as to retain all vegetation with a minimum diameter of 500 millimetres unless otherwise approved by the Chief Executive Officer. The plan is to be submitted to Council and approved prior to the issue of a Development Permit for Operational Works

Landscaping Plan

9. The applicant/owner must landscape the subject land and street frontage in accordance with FNQROC Development Manual, Part 4 -Landscaping and in accordance with a landscape plan submitted to and endorsed by the Chief Executive Officer prior to the issue of a Development Permit for Operational Works. In particular, the plan must show:

42


a. The location and species (local name) of all existing trees with a trunk diameter of 500mm or greater, with an indication as to whether each tree is to be retained or removed, and natural and finished ground levels if filling is to occur in the vicinity of any tree;

b. The retention of as many existing trees and shrubs as possible and further planting of trees and shrubs;

c. Planting of the footpath with trees;

d. The provision of shade trees, especially in parks;

e. Inclusion of all requirements as detailed in other relevant conditions included in this Approval, with a copy of this Development Approval to be given to the applicant’s Landscape Architect/Designer.

The Landscaping Plan must include the principles of landscaping and built form envisioned for the development as outlined in the Bluewater Views Stage 2 Vision Concepts prepared on behalf of Multiplex Living, and the Bluewater Views Stage 2 Road Sections, Vivo Design plans numbered 71398_L_CD_ST2_01, 71398_L_CD_ST2_02,71398_L_CD_ST2_03, 71398_L_CD_ST2_06 and 71398_L_CD_ST2_07, and Cardno Drawing numbered 739543.12 SK1.

Existing native and mature vegetation must be retained in accordance with the Vegetation Retention and Infrastructure Services Plan as required by Condition 8 of this approval. Council’s City Assessment Branch is to be notified of the proposed date of commencement of any approved tree clearing.

Any common boundaries with Council esplanade parkland, general parkland or drainage reserves must be temporarily delineated and fenced off to restrict building access for the duration of construction activity.

Two (2) A1 copies and one (1) A3 copy of the landscape plan must be submitted to and endorsed by the Chief Executive Officer prior to the issue of a Development Permit for Operational Works.

Areas to be landscaped must be established prior to the endorsement of the Plan of Survey and must be maintained at all times, both to the satisfaction of the Chief Executive Officer.

43


Officers are of the view that under the original Reconfiguration of a Lot approval (8/13/882) the retention of mature vegetation conditions were focused primarily over parcels throughout the estate reserved for parkland, drainage road reserve and conservation as well as areas protected under statutory covenants. However, the developer at the time, for unknown reasons, did not clear the smaller residential lots (circa 700m2) of mature vegetation. This has resulted in significant vegetation clearing costs being borne by the end purchaser.

TOWN PLANNING & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

RELEVANT CODESApplicability

ComplianceYes No

Planning Area Code (Conservation & Residential 1 Planning Area)

Complies - whilst the land is partly included within the Conservation Planning Area the proposed vegetation clearing is required to support the development of the land for residential purposes in accordance with Development Permit for Reconfiguration of a Lot (8/13/882).

Hillslopes Overlay Code Complies in part only. (see discussion)

Vegetation Conservation Overlay Code Does Not Comply. (see discussion)

Vegetation Management Code Complies with A1.1 The vegetation damage occurs on a lot size equal to or less than 800m². The application does not comply with any other parts of this code.

COMPLIANCE DISCUSSION

Hillslopes Overlay CodeThe removal of the trees will not have any detrimental impact on slope stability as the lots are flat or have a moderately slope. The removal of the tree will have an adverse impact on the amenity and the biodiversity of the area as old mature tree provide hollows that are important nest sites to a wide range of native birds.

Vegetation Conservation & Waterways Significance Code:

The proposed removal of the trees does not comply with this code. The small size of the lots, large style of house being constructed in this area and the mature nature of many of the trees will however most likely result in the removal of almost every tree once houses are built on these lots. The cost of removal of these trees becomes increasingly expensive as houses are constructed on neighbouring lots. The small size of the lots makes it very difficult to design a house that will not require the removal of the tree due to its position or encroachment of the house into the Tree Protection Zone and/or Structural Root Zone. Some existing trees have become potentially unstable and due to excavation works on neighbouring lots that have intruded into the Structural Root Zone.

44


Vegetation Management Code:

Complies only with A1.1 of the code; The vegetation damage occurs on a lot size equal to or less than 800m².

Legislative Discussion:

Section 347 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 states that a condition must not be inconsistent with a condition of an earlier development approval still in effect. Council correspondence dated 17 December 2013 stated that the earlier Reconfiguration of a Lot Permit (8/13/882) continues to have effect due to delivery of the initial stages of the subdivision.

Condition 8 relates specifically to the retention of vegetation on traffic carriageways, footpaths, service lines and as a result of other on-street works. Officers are of the opinion that approval of the subject application to clear vegetation on freehold lots does not conflict with the earlier approval for the Reconfiguration of a Lot. A condition is proposed on the subject application which requires retention of vegetation within the Road Reserve.

The applicant submitted a Landscaping Plan with the Operational Works Application on 31 July 2006 in accordance with the requirements of Condition 9 of the original Decision Notice for the Reconfiguration of a Lot (8/13/882). Among other items, the Landscaping Plan detailed the location of existing vegetation to be retained as a result of the reconfiguration. Officers are of the opinion that Approval of the subject application does not conflict with the earlier approval for the Reconfiguration of a Lot as Condition 9 does not preclude a land owner making application for Operational Works (Native Vegetation Clearing). In the interest of public safety and locating a House on each of the lots Officers support the application for clearing vegetation.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION / SUBMISSIONS
