Industry zone code

6.2.5.1 Application (1)

This code applies to assessing development where: (a) located in the Industry zone; and (b) it is identified in the assessment criteria column of an assessment table in Part 5 of the planning scheme.

6.2.5.2 Purpose (1)

The purpose of the Industry zone code is to provide for a range of service, low, medium, or high impact industrial uses. It may include non-industrial and business uses that support the industrial activities where they do not compromise the long-term use of the land for industrial purposes.

(2)

Mareeba Shire Council's purpose of the Industry zone code is to facilitate industrial activity in order to: (a) contribute to and strengthen the economic development of the region; (b) service the needs of the communities in the shire; and (c) provide for a variety of employment opportunities.

(3)

The shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial areas will vary in their role and level of service provision and cater for different scales and types of industrial development. Three precincts are identified within the zone in order to establish a hierarchy of industrial areas catering for lower impact to higher impact industries: (a) The Trades and services precinct is intended to accommodate service industry and low impact industries. This precinct encompasses the majority of the existing smaller industrial areas which are often located in commercial areas or adjoining residential areas. The precinct is strategically located in serviced areas to provide light industry, service and trades industries to meet local needs and located. Higher impact industries may be appropriate in some locations within this precinct where it can be demonstrated that they will not have any adverse impacts on surrounding development and land uses; (b) The General industry precinct is intended to accommodate medium impact industries and existing high impact industries. This precinct encompasses the central industrial area of Mareeba. Further expansion of high impact industries is not encouraged due to the proximity of the precinct to residential areas, meaning a transition to lower impact industries is supported; and (c) The Heavy industry precinct is intended to accommodate a range of industrial uses including high impact industries and encompasses the Chillagoe industrial area, the Mareeba major industrial area and the Mareeba Airport industrial area.

(4)

The purpose of the code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes: (a) Uses and works for industrial purposes are located, designed and managed to maintain safety to people, avoid significant adverse effects on the natural environment and minimise impacts on surrounding non-industrial land; (b) Development is sited having regard to its servicing capabilities in terms of transport, water, sewage, electricity, telecommunications infrastructure, proximity to other associated industries and work force; (c) Development maximises the use of existing transport infrastructure and has access to an appropriate level of transport infrastructure and facilities; (d) Development is supported by necessary transport infrastructure which is designed to provide and promote safe and efficient public transport use, walking and cycling; (e) Development is reflective of and responsive to the environmental constraints of the land; (f) The scale, character and built form of development contributes to an appropriate standard of amenity;

6.2.10 Rural residential zone code 6.2.10.1 Application (1)

This code applies to assessing development where: (a) located in the Rural residential zone; and (b) it is identified in the assessment criteria column of an assessment table in Part 5 of the planning scheme.

6.2.10.2 Purpose (1)

The purpose of the Rural residential zone code is to provide for residential development on large lots where local government infrastructure and services may not be provided on the basis that the intensity of development is generally dispersed.

(2)

Mareeba Shire Council's purpose of the Rural residential zone code is to provide for residential development on a range of larger lots which take account of the history of rural residential development throughout the region. Limited agricultural and animal husbandry activities which contribute to a semi-rural setting may be appropriate on lots with areas in the upper range of lot sizes.

(3)

The Rural residential zone has been broken into three precincts to cater for the distinct lot sizes and levels of servicing that historically occurred in this zone: (a) The 2 hectare precinct is characterised by significant clusters of larger rural residential lifestyle lots that have limited infrastructure and proximity to services. Lots within this precinct will not be reconfigured below 2 hectares in size; (b) The 1 hectare precinct is characterised by significant clusters of rural residential lifestyle lots that have limited access to infrastructure and proximity to services. Lots within this precinct will not be reconfigured below 1 hectare in size; and (c) The 4,000m2 precinct is characterised by clusters of smaller rural residential lots in proximity to activity centres, where reticulated water supply and an urban standard of infrastructure (apart from sewerage) can be provided. Lots within this precinct will not be reconfigured below 4,000mÂ˛.

(3)

The purpose of the code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes: (a) The development of large rural residential lots with attendant provision of onsite infrastructure is facilitated; (b) Development within the zone preserves the environmental and topographical features of the land by integrating an appropriate scale of rural residential activities; (c) Development avoids areas of ecological significance; (d) Low-impact activities such as small-scale eco-tourism and outdoor recreation uses are permitted within the zone where the impacts of such uses are acceptable; (e) Natural features such as creeks, gullies, waterways, wetlands and vegetation and bushland are retained, enhanced and buffered from the impacts of development, with unavoidable impacts minimised through location, design, operation and management requirements; (f) Other uses may be appropriate where meeting the day to day needs of the rural residential catchment or having a direct relationship to the land in which the particular use is proposed. Any such uses should not have any adverse effects on the residential amenity of the area through factors such as noise generation, traffic generation or other factors associated with the use; and (g) Reconfiguring a lot will maintain the predominant lot size of the precinct or intended for the precinct.
