4.0SITE CONSTRAINTS
4.1The subject site is impacted by the following overlays in accordance with the MBRC Planning Scheme;
Acid Sulfate Soils (land above 5m AHD and below 20m AHD)
Active Transport (Station Road Primary Active Transport Network)
Building heights (Maximum building height is 21m & a minimum of 5m)
Flood Hazard (Medium and High-Risk Flood Hazard area)
Road Hierarchy (Station Road – Council Controlled Artieral Road)
Stormwater Catchments
Walking Distances (Centre)
4.2The only major overlay of concern is the Flood Hazard (see Figure 1 below), If the subject site was developed Council will require the high-risk flood hazard (dark blue in Figure 1 below) area to be transferred to Council for floodplain management. Council may accept a suspended slab carpark design in the medium flood hazard but will not support any proposed vulnerable land use building(s) within the medium or high hazard flood area. The defined flood level is 8.9mm AHD, the flood planning level is 9.65m AHD, and no fill is permitted within the mapped medium or high-hazard flood area.
4.3 Given Station Road is a higher order road (Arterial Road) in the Council road network, a 10m wide land dedication (plus truncation) is required for any proposed development to facilitate upgrades to Station Road in the future. Please note this land dedication can be offset against any infrastructure charges.
4.4 The subject site is also impacted by a 225mm trunk sewer main that runs through the site, (please see Figure 2 below) with an approximate depth of 1.9m. Any proposed building near this network may require a Building Over Sewer Application to Unitywater design by an Engineer. It is more than likely that Unitywater will ask for an Easement over this infrastructure.
5.0SUBDIVISION
5.1The subject site can be subdivided, however, extensive structure planning would be required to demonstrate a well-connected development. Given the width of the site and the flood hazard, this would not be the highest-yielding development for the site.
6.0COMMERCIAL USES
6.1The Moreton Bay Regional Council have previously expressed that they will support centre activities (commercial uses) on the subject site if it was part of a mixed-use building with multi-residential e.g. commercial on the ground floor and residential on the upper floors (up to 21m).
7.0STATE GOVERNMENT
7.1The subject site is not impacted by any State Government Planning concerns. The subject site is located within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan.
