Item Number:                                   13.1

File Number: D13/10495

Subject Heading:                          Negotiated Decision Request - Material Change of Use - Medium Impact Industry (Sewage Treatment Plant) and Environmentally Relevant Activity 63 - Sewage Treatment (File: 2012/18039)

Location:                                          1750 Orallo Road, Euthulla QLD 4455 (Lot 46 on WV941)

Applicant:                                         Garland Trading Company Pty Ltd C/- Dwayne Garland

Author and Officer’s Title:                Danielle Pearn, Coordinator - Planning

Executive Summary:

Council approved an application for a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use - Medium Impact Industry (Sewage Treatment Plant) and Environmentally Relevant Activity 63 - Sewage Treatment on land at 1750 Orallo Road, Euthulla QLD 4455 and described as Lot 46 on WV 941.

 

The approved development is experimental in its aim of using sewage water as an input to sustainable agriculture. The treated water will be used to drought-proof part of an agricultural property and expand its productivity. The acceptance and treatment of the sewage water also adds an income stream to a rural property. If successful, the experience gained will be applied to other locations.

 

Lot 46 is 20.9 hectares. Road frontage of Lot 46 is 445 metres. Lot 46 is part of a larger group of properties owned and occupied by members of the Garland family.

 

The proposed development is consistent with the provisions of the Bungil Shire Planning Scheme 2006 in that it proposes an industrial use in a rural area where that industrial use is related to rural production and is generally consistent with the performance criteria for industrial uses in the Rural Zone Code.

 

The site is identified as Good Quality Agricultural Land and is used for grazing and agriculture but the very small loss of the GQAL land in the Rural Zone to industry is outweighed by the improvements to the overall sustainability and viability of the property as a whole.

 

The applicant is seeking a negotiated decision notice which will reflect a number of changes to the approval. The potential changes are:

 

1.    Reduction in the approved infrastructure contributions charges from $0.01 per litre to $0.005 per litre.

2.    Proposed infrastructure agreement be designed to ensure the road infrastructure contributions are used on the upgrading of Orallo and Euthulla Roads.

3.    Scope to increase the total volume of liquid carried from 50,000 litres to 100,000 litres per day.

4.    Returns made to the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection be used as the basis for calculating the road infrastructure contributions rather than installing a road counter on the premises.

5.    Use of B Doubles and road trains be allowed on Orallo and Euthulla Roads to transport waste water to the site.

 

Discussion:

Council determined that the matter should lay on the table for further discussion at a later point during the meeting pending further information from the investigating officer.

 

ACTION:

That the matter lay on the table for further discussion at a later point during the meeting, pending further information from the investigating officer.

Dear Meryl

 

Mitchell MPHS Extension Naming Options

 

With the imminent completion of the Mitchell MPHS Extension project, Council considers it timely to offer some alternative naming options for the building.

 

From our previous discussions, the Minister for Health has sole discretion on the naming of any buildings on Queensland Health property.

 

In light of that and Council’s historic association with the soon to be decommissioned Maranoa Retirement Village, at its most recent general meeting, Council resolved to offer these prioritised suggestions to the Minister:

 

1.   Maranoa Place

2.   Maranoa Village

3.   Maranoa Wing

 

In addition and through community consultation, the Maranoa Retirement Village Auxiliary Sub Committee (MRVASC) have offered the following suggestions:

 

1.   Booringa Wing

2.   Booringa Village

3.   Booringa Place

 

As you would be aware, the previous local government area incorporating the Mitchell community was the Booringa Shire Council and the suggestions offered by the MRVASC reflect this previous association.

 

It would be greatly appreciated if you could pass these naming options on to the Minister for his consideration.

 

If you need more information regarding this matter please contact Tony Klein, Director Community & Commercial Services on 0427 235155 or 1300 007 662.

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

 

Julie Reitano

General Meeting -  10 April 2013

Officer Report

Meeting: General  10 April 2013

Date: 7 March 2013

Item Number: 12.1

File Number: D13/9323

 

Subject Heading:                     Capital Project - Upgrade of Pavement and Waterway Crossings on Eurella Settlers Road

Classification:                                  Open Access  

Name of Applicant:                        

Location:                                          

Author & Officer’s Title:                 Kym Downey,  Manager - Infrastructure Planning & Design

 

Executive Summary: 

Council has received a request for the installation of culverts on Eurella Settlers Road as sections of the road are impassable following rain events.

 

Officer’s Recommendation: 

Council consider this project as part of future budget deliberations

 

 

Body of Report:

The applicant has advised Council that there are sections of Eurella Settlers Road that are impassable following rain events.  He has requested that the road be upgraded to a standard that can be trafficked in a two wheel drive vehicle in all weather.

 

Inspection of this road revealed the following:

            Good quality gravel pavement has been placed on sections of the road as part of flood restoration works;

Low grade pavement material has been used on some sections of the road surface resulting in “soft” spots;

            Drainage of some sections of the formation / pavement is inadequate and does not direct the flow from the surrounding cultivation down the road side; 

            There are 4 waterways that experience a flow during rain events which deposits silt material on existing gravel pavement;

 

Council has several options to improve this road to a standard trafficable by a two wheel drive vehicle.  Basic drainage improvements could be carried out under a road maintenance regime.  Gravel pavement placement or replacement may be prioritized according to existing condition.  The waterway crossings could be improved through (a) cement stabilization of pavement, (b) construction of concrete floodways or (c) installation of culverts.  Any upgrade works could be staged.

Subject Heading:                     Transfer of Transport and Main Roads Funding

Classification:                                  Open Access  

Name of Applicant:                        

Location:                                          

Author & Officer’s Title:                 Cindy  Irwin , Specialist - Infrastructure Program Funding

 

Executive Summary: 

A subsidy of $400,000 was approved by Transport and Main Roads (TMR) to extend Primaries Road through to the sale yards.  As per a previous Council resolution, this construction is not going ahead.  Options to transfer the subsidy to another project was discussed with TMR who advised that due to funding constraints, an alternative project  will need to demonstrate high priority and be of regional significance.  The upgrade of the intersection of the Carnarvon Highway and Airport Drive was identified as meeting the above criteria and will provide benefits to Council and TMR.

 

 

Officer’s Recommendation: 

Council advise TMR that the works planned for Primaries Road, Roma  will not go ahead until the outcomes of the planning study for heavy vehicles and Type 2 Road Trains are known and request that the subsidy of $400,000 to be transferred to the upgrade of the intersection of the Carnarvon Highway and Airport Drive.

 

 

Body of Report:

 

A subsidy of $400,000 was approved under the Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme (TIDS) provided by TMR for the extension of Primaries Road to provide an additional access to the sale yards.  This subsidy was provided on the basis Council matched the subsidy and that the funds need to be expended by 30 June 2013.

 

With the current funding constraints, TMR have advised that if Council wishes to transfer this funding, consideration will only be given to high priority projects with a regional significance and works will need to be completed by 30 June 2013.  A review of Council’s current capital works program has not identified any projects that would meet the criteria.

 

These funds were awarded to Council on a matched funding basis.  Council will not be required to match the allocation if it is transferred to a TMR project.

 

At a recent meeting with TMR, it was suggested that an option to transfer the subsidy of $400,000 to the upgrade of the intersection of the Carnarvon Highway and Airport Drive may be considered as current funding for this project is extremely tight.  Transfer of this allocation to this project will ensure the funds remain in the Roma region.  This project is considered a high priority as it will provide improved safety for road users on the local and state road network and improve access to the airport as a major transportation hub for the region.

To whom it may concern,

 

I am writing to express my concerns about not having curbed guttering in our street (Hasted st)

 

I and the rest of the residents in the street find it overly frustrating that we yet still not have curbed guttering. (with long term rate payers including us) There are approx 12 houses in this street.

When a street where the new development on the corner of bowen & Currey st has curbed guttering, a pot holes free road get this benefit but not even an existent street on the town map, but ours has nothing at all but pot holes forming and is like a one road street.

Also especially when it rains a large amount of water sits on the side of the road for days even when you get full sun & hot days. This forms a LARGE amount of mosquito's as the water has nowhere to flow/drain to. (see attached photos)

Another issue when it has a serious downfall of rain the water runs straight underneath our house and through our shed (approx1-2inches high) this also add to having extremely more amounts of mosquito's.

 

We all also believe that because of this it makes the street look untidy.

'

Your concern & action to this matter would be greatly appreciated to us and on behalf of the remainder of the residents in Hasted st

Dear Natalie,

 

 

 

I am writing to you on behalf of Council with regards to your concerns relating to inadequate drainage in Hasted Street.

 

 

 

I would like to apologise on behalf of Council for you not having received a reply earlier.

 

 

 

I have looked into your case and have come to the following conclusions:

 

 

 

With regards to the kerb and channelling on Courtney Street, this kerb and channelling was paid for by the developer who bought the land along the southern side of Courtney Street.  The reason it was replaced was because it started to fail as a result of the expansive nature of the underlying black soil.

 

 

 

I recognise that there is a need for better drainage on Hasted Street.  Council will be undertaking a detailed survey of Hasted Street and the surrounding area to help identify specific drainage issues and traits with the view to rectifying the problem.

 

 

 

If you have any questions please contact Paul Cummins on 4624 0723 in the first instance.

 

 

 

Thank you

 

Peter

             I must apologise for the delay in acknowledgeing your correspondence, I have not been home for the past week , away on Council buisness, I will pass on your request to relevant officers , If you do not recieve a reply please feel free to follow up with me ,

      Hi Joy,

 

       

 

      I was told that you where the best person to talk to about a concern,

 

       

 

      As per below you can see that I sent an email to the Maranoa Council in January just before the floods then followed up on this personally

 

      in the office a few weeks after the flood occurred in February but I have not received a reply or nothing.

 

      I did have attached photos but I suppose photos won't do it justice neither.

 

       

 

      We have heard that Courtney street behind us has one side of the street done with curbed guttering but not the other & that the council is ripping that up & re-doing the curbed guttering on the existing side.

 

      My partner & I have just put concrete surrounding our house to try & minimise the water flowing under our house & to stop the breed of mosquitoes but

 

      there is nothing else that we can do in our street for the water to flow away.

 

       

 

      As I said before in the below email, it simply makes the street look untidy ESPECIALLY when it rains & the water cannot flow away.

 

       

 

      Thank you & hope to hear from you soon!

 

      Many Thanks

Hi Joy

 

Kym Downey, as result  of the restructure, is responsible for formulating Council’s future Capital Works Budgets  .

 

The request for kerb and channel will have to be considered by Council.

 

Kym will contact Natalie and explain the process to her.

Hi Joy & Peter,

 

 

 

Just wondering if my request for curbed guttering in Hasted st Roma has been ignored??

 

 

 

Reason why I ask is because I have not heard any correspondence from the Council in regards to curbed guttering. My request was made January 2012 (last year) & then further followed up in July.

 

I have also noticed that Twine st is getting guttering & I can only presume so is the eastern side of Wyndham st……?

 

 

 

Any plans for Hasted Street in the VERY near future???

Hi Joy,

 

 

 

I was told that you where the best person to talk to about a concern,

 

 

 

As per below you can see that I sent an email to the Maranoa Council in January just before the floods then followed up on this personally

 

in the office a few weeks after the flood occurred in February but I have not received a reply or nothing.

 

I did have attached photos but I suppose photos won’t do it justice neither.

 

 

 

We have heard that Courtney street behind us has one side of the street done with curbed guttering but not the other & that the council is ripping that up & re-doing the curbed guttering on the existing side.

 

My partner & I have just put concrete surrounding our house to try & minimise the water flowing under our house & to stop the breed of mosquitoes but

 

there is nothing else that we can do in our street for the water to flow away.

 

 

 

As I said before in the below email, it simply makes the street look untidy ESPECIALLY when it rains & the water cannot flow away.

 

 

 

Thank you & hope to hear from you soon!

 

Many Thanks

 

Natalie Haddock

To whom it may concern,

 

I am writing to express my concerns about not having curbed guttering in our street (Hasted st)

 

I and the rest of the residents in the street find it overly frustrating that we yet still not have curbed guttering. (with long term rate payers including us) There are approx 12 houses in this street.

When a street where the new development on the corner of bowen & Currey st has curbed guttering, a pot holes free road get this benefit but not even an existent street on the town map, but ours has nothing at all but pot holes forming and is like a one road street.

Also especially when it rains a large amount of water sits on the side of the road for days even when you get full sun & hot days. This forms a LARGE amount of mosquito's as the water has nowhere to flow/drain to. (see attached photos)

Another issue when it has a serious downfall of rain the water runs straight underneath our house and through our shed (approx1-2inches high) this also add to having extremely more amounts of mosquito's.

 

We all also believe that because of this it makes the street look untidy.

'

Your concern & action to this matter would be greatly appreciated to us and on behalf of the remainder of the residents in Hasted st

Hi Melissa,

 

Here is the request as discussed.  As I mentioned before we've got 17 years of our girls needing access to the school bus and our access road is Mitchell grass black soil which makes it impossible with the slightest be of rain.  We've been trying to get assistance with this for the past nine years and have another 40 years here of paying rates which will be over $300K.  Jim Blackburn is talking of shutting that quarry down possibly after the council leaves and we see this as our only chance.  If not for anything else we need our road gravelled for medical emergencies.

 

Kind regards,

 

Helen Allen

      The last time we spoke about getting assistance from the council to gravel our access road you mentioned that it would have to be budgeted for so I resent through the request letter. I was wanting to know if it ever went before the council?

      Hi Michael,

       

      My name is Helen Allen and I am following up a request to gravel an access road and a couple of weeks ago I was told it would have to be budgeted for and therefore I needed to send the request to the CEO.  This is a new gravel request, not gravelling due to flooding.  The original request I sent through to Mitchell (we are on the boundary between Booringa and Bungil Shires) was in January 2012 and since then I have been chasing this up, getting redirected to various people and not getting anywhere.  It would be much appreciated if you could have a look at this request and forward it onto the appropriate person if need. 

       

      Kind regards,

General Meeting -  10 April 2013

Officer Report

Meeting: General  10 April 2013

Date: 14 March 2013

Item Number: 13.1

File Number: D13/10261

 

Subject Heading:                     Material Change of Use - "Accommodation Units" (5 dwelling units) File: 2012/18195

Classification:                                  Open Access  

Name of Applicant:                         Flair Constructions Pty Ltd C/- Damien Digney

Location:                                           2 Crawford Street, Roma QLD 4455 (Lot 1 on SP178384)

Author & Officer’s Title:                 Danielle Pearn, Coordinator - Planning

 

Executive Summary:  The application seeks a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use – Accommodation Units (5 dwelling units) on land at 2 Crawford Street, Roma QLD 4455, described as Lot 1 on SP178384.

 

The proposed development is consistent with the intent of the Residential Zone, however as submitted, the proposal does not comply with the Urban Area Code.  The proposal seeks relaxations of the minimum boundary setbacks which are considered to compromise the residential amenity of the Urban Area.

 

This report concludes that the conflict with the planning scheme may be resolved by reducing the number of units from five to four, to achieve adequate boundary setbacks and ensure the residential character and amenity of the Urban Area is maintained.

 

 

Officer’s Recommendation:  Council approve the application for a Material Change of Use for Accommodation Units at 2 Crawford Street, Roma QLD 4455, described as Lot 1 on SP178384, permitting the use for four units each containing three bedrooms rather than the five units each containing three bedrooms proposed, subject to the following conditions:

 

Preamble

 

1.         Refer to http://www.cmdg.com.au/ for the Capricorn Municipal Development Guidelines (CMDG).

 

Complete and Maintain

 

1.         Complete and maintain the approved development as follows: (i) generally in accordance with development approval documents and (ii) strictly in accordance with those parts of the approved development which have been specified in detail by the Council or Referral Agency unless the Council or Referral Agency agrees in writing that those parts will be adequately complied with by amended specifications.

 

2.         Complete and maintain all operational, building and plumbing and drainage work associated with this development approval, including work required by any of the development approval conditions.

 

3.         Maintain the approved development being Material Change of Use (Accommodation Units – 4 dwelling units) generally in accordance with the approved plans:

Body of Report

 

 

1.0       Background information

 

The proposed development is for Accommodation Units including five dwelling units on the site.

 

The proposal comprises three buildings including one individual unit and two buildings each containing two units.  Each unit will consist of three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a lounge, dining and kitchen area.  The buildings will be single storey with a maximum height of 4.7 metres and a Gross Floor Area (GFA) of approximately 625 square metres.

 

The development in its proposed form does not comply with the minimum boundary setbacks for Accommodation Units and is considered to compromise the residential amenity of the Urban Area.  The proposal seeks a 3.5 metre relaxation of the building setback to the Crawford Street frontage of the site and 1.5 metre relaxation to north-eastern side boundary.  This conflict with the Urban Area Code may be resolved by reducing the number of units from five to four to allow the buildings to be adequately separated from property boundaries. 

 

It is proposed that each unit be provided with two car parking spaces inside a double carport.  Two visitor parking spaces are also proposed.  With the removal of one of the units a total of 10 parking spaces will be provided on site. 

 

Motor vehicle access to the site will be obtained via a new crossover from Crawford Street and egress via a new crossover to Miscamble Street.  Adequate manoeuvring is provided for ingress and egress from the carports and from the site.

 

Landscaping is proposed along both the Miscamble Street and Crawford Street frontages of the site and southern boundary, to enhance the visual amenity of the development from the street and adjoining sites, and to screen the development.

 

The applicant has provided the following Proposal Plans in support of the proposed development –

3.0       Assessment against the planning scheme

Impact assessment

This application is subject to Impact Assessment and is assessed against the relevant provisions of the planning scheme, including any relevant codes. The provisions of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 [SPA] may be summarized: s313 provides that the assessment manager must carry out the impact assessment having regard to—

(a)  the State planning regulatory provisions;

(b)  the regional plan for a designated region, to the extent it is not identified in the planning scheme as being appropriately reflected in the planning scheme;

(c)  any applicable codes, other than concurrence agency codes the assessment manager does not apply, that are identified as a code for IDAS under this or another Act;

(d)  State planning policies, to the extent the policies are not

a)   any relevant regional plan as being appropriately reflected in the regional plan; or

b)   the planning scheme as being appropriately reflected in the planning scheme;

The proposal is for residential development in a residential area and will not compromise the location of business and commercial development with the Commercial Zone and CBD.

 

(iii) Beautification and improved parking facilities will enhance the efficiency, attractions and vitality of the Town CBD.

 

The proposed development is for residential development within close proximity to the Town CBD.

 

(iv) Tourism will be promoted with significant economic and social benefits to the town as a regional centre with close association with the oil and gas industry and the proximity of the Carnarvon National Park.

 

The proposed development is for residential development in an established residential area and will not adversely impact on the promotion of tourism.

 

(v)  Industry, business and employment opportunities are improved and appropriately located to service the community and region, and encourage economic activity within the local area.

 

The proposed development is for residential development within an established residential area and will not adversely impact on industry, business and employment opportunities. 

 

(c)  Community Well-Being & Lifestyle

 

(i)   Convenient access to roads and services is achieved through well located land uses and the efficient use and timely provision of infrastructure such as water, sewerage and roads walkways and cycling facilities.

 

The proposed development is located within an established residential area, and will be connected to reticulated water, sewer and electrical infrastructure. 

 

(ii)  Infrastructure networks such as road and rail, water cycle and electricity infrastructure are protected from encroachment by sensitive land uses which may adversely affect or limit the normal operation of that infrastructure.

 

The proposed development will gain access from Crawford Street and egress to Miscamble Street, via a new crossover to each street.  The proposed development will not encroach on any established infrastructure networks.

 

(iii)  Rural residential and urban residential development occurs in distinct localities that provide a sense of community, amenity, services, and a safe, affordable living environment, whilst maintaining the rural amenity of the Town Area.

 

The proposed Accommodation Units will be located within an established residential area.   Appropriate setbacks and landscaping to the boundaries of the site will ensure the rural amenity of the area is maintained.

 

(iv) The adverse effects from natural and other hazards, including bushfires are minimised.

 

The site is not subject to natural or other hazards. 

 

(v)  The range of housing types, services and facilities meets the needs of the community and other uses.

 

The development is for Accommodation Units for four dwelling units, and will increase the range of housing types available to the community.

 

(vi)  Community well being is not compromised by inappropriate development that impacts upon noise levels, traffic volume, lighting levels, local amenity.

 

The proposal is for a residential use within a residential area.  The proposed development will minimise adverse impacts to surrounding residential uses through acoustic fencing and landscaping at the side and rear boundaries, sufficient manoeuvring on the site for vehicles and control of lighting emissions.

 

Overall Outcomes for Urban Area Code

 

The Urban Area Code identifies overall outcomes providing direction about relevant assessment issues.  The overall outcomes for the Urban Area Code are the purpose of the code.  The overall outcomes sought for the Urban Area are the following:

 

(a)   Roma is a focus for a range of business, industrial, tourist, community and recreational activity in the local government area.

 

The proposed development is for a use that will support the expansion of business, industrial, tourist, community and recreation activity in the local government area.

The proposal is for Accommodation Units and will be located in an established residential area.  The proposal will not compromise the location of business and commercial development within the Commercial Zone.

 

(c)   The residential and heritage character and amenity of the Urban Area is retained.

 

The proposed buildings are limited to one storey and 4.7 metres in height and will be screened from Crawford Street and adjoining residences by acoustic fencing and landscaping along the boundaries.  The development proposal seeks a reduction of the minimum boundary setbacks to the Crawford Street frontage and north-eastern side boundary which are considered to compromise the residential character and amenity of the Urban Area.  A reduction in the number of units from five to four will ensure the scale of the development and building siting, in conjunction with the proposed screening, will retain the residential character and amenity of both the streetscape and the wider Urban Area.

 

(d)   Safe and convenient access for pedestrians and cyclists is maintained and enhanced.

 

The proposed development will maintain a high level of amenity and permeability along pedestrian pathways at the Crawford Street and Miscamble Street frontages of the site through landscaping and appropriately located and safe vehicle access. 

 

(e)   Residential (including Rural Residential) development occurs where there is no adverse impact on Good Quality Agricultural Land.

 

The site is located in an established residential area and is not mapped as containing Good Quality Agricultural Land (GQAL).  The proposed Accommodation Units will therefore not result in fragmentation or reduction of GQAL.

 

(f)    Residential development is buffered from the existing and proposed road and rail corridors to minimise any detrimental impact.

 

The proposed development is located within an established residential area, which is well protected from road traffic noise levels.  Landscaping and acoustic fencing along site boundaries will assist in mitigating any internal road traffic noise impacts on adjoining properties. 

 

(g)   Residential development accommodates a range of housing types and allotment sizes, and provides a safe and pleasant living environment, with adequate access to community services and is located in the residential preferred areas shown on the Urban Area Maps in the appendices.

ADVICE ABOUT THIS ADOPTED INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES NOTICE (AICN)

 

When does an AICN lapse?

 

An AICN lapses if the corresponding development approval or compliance permit stops having effect.

 

Negotiated AICN

 

A person who receives an AICN may make a written representation (e.g. a letter, facsimile or email) about the AICN to the entity that gave the notice (i.e. local government or a water distributor retailer) (Chapter 8, Part 4 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA)). If the entity agrees with any of the representations, the entity will issue a negotiated AICN which replaces the original notice.

 

SPA also provides for representations to be made about decision notices under Chapter 6, Part 8. Where a negotiated decision notice affects the amount of an adopted infrastructure charge, the local government may issue a new AICN to replace the original notice (section 364 of the SPA).

 

A representation about an AICN or a decision notice must be started during the period within which the person may make an appeal about the AICN or the decision notice.

 

Permissible change and an AICN

 

A permissible change, is a minor change to a development approval that would not result in a substantially different development (section 367 of the SPA). An AICN, or negotiated AICN, cannot be issued as part of the process for a permissible change to a development approval. In this regard, a permissible change to a development approval should not result in a change that warrants a new AICN.

 

Making an appeal about an AICN

 

A person, who is given an AICN or negotiated AICN and is dissatisfied, may appeal to the Planning and Environment Court (Court) against the notice, under section 478 of the SPA. An appeal against an AICN or a negotiated AICN can only be about:

whether a charge in the notice is so unreasonable that no reasonable relevant local government, state infrastructure provider or coordinating agency could have imposed it; or

an error in the calculation of the charge.

 

A person has 20 business days to start an appeal against an AICN or negotiated AICN.

 

Another way to appeal against an AICN or negotiated AICN is the Building and Development Dispute Resolution Committee (Committee). The Committee provides an accessible, affordable and timely service for members of the public not satisfied with decisions made by local governments and private certifiers. Errors in the calculation of the charge can be appealed to the Committee, under section 535 of the SPA.

 

An appeal against an AICN or negotiated AICN, to either the Court or the Committees, is not an appeal against a development application, development approval, compliance assessment or compliance permit. As such, an appeal does not affect the period in which the corresponding development approval or compliance permit takes effect and lapses.
