6 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 6 of Introduction In accordance with the requirements of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA), it is proposed to undertake a Ministerial designation of land within the Hinchinbrook Shire Council (HSC) local government area on behalf of the Department of Education, Training and Employment (DETE) for the Ingham State High School. The proposed designation applies to land located at 12 Menzies Street, Ingham, alternatively described as Lot 82 on CWL3300. The community infrastructure designation will facilitate the development of a new Trade Training Centre (TTC) at the Ingham State High School. The TCC will offer an Agribusiness Centre where students will gain hands-on experience in agricultural activities and be offered the opportunity to gain a Certificate 3 in Laboratory Skills; and Certificates 2 and 3 in Agriculture Studies. Building and Asset Services Town Planning Unit has prepared this Initial Assessment Report to provide information in the assessment of the proposed Ministerial designation of land for community infrastructure. As part of this report the following documentation is provided: Appendix 1 Extracts from SPA Appendix 2 Designation Flowchart Appendix 3 Property Information Appendix 4 Proposal Plans Appendix 5 Interest Matter Maps Appendix 6 NCA Wildlife Online and EPBC Protected Matters Report Appendix 7 CLR, EMR and UXO Search Appendix 8 Stormwater and Flood Hazard Advice Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

7 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 7 of Legislative Context 2.1 The Sustainable Planning Act 2009 A list of community infrastructure is set out in Schedule 2 of the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009 (SP Regulation). The SPA prescribes the way in which Ministerial designations can be undertaken. The SPA, Chapter 5 (refer Appendix 1) prescribes that a Minister, before designating land for community infrastructure, must be satisfied that for development the subject of the proposed designation: adequate environmental assessment has been carried out; in carrying out such environmental assessment there was adequate public consultation; and adequate account has been taken of issues raised during the public consultation One way in which the requirements for adequate environmental assessment and public consultation may be met is for the assessment of the proposal to be carried out in accordance with the guidelines made by the chief executive under the SPA, section 760. The applicable guideline is the Guidelines for Environmental Assessment and Public Consultation Procedures for Designating Land for Community Infrastructure (April 2014). The guideline (available at outlines a six-step process which describes two rounds of consultation, one including relevant public sector entities (including the local Council) and the other incorporating public notification to the wider community (refer Appendix 2). However, the guidelines and the process described therein are not exclusive and the Minister may choose to be satisfied that adequate environmental assessment and public consultation for designation has been undertaken in an alternate capacity. On the basis the designation involves an established school use, it is considered that the requirement for adequate consultation can be satisfied by a single round of consultation. The single consultation round will involve notice to relevant State agencies, the local authority and adjoining landowners and will include public notification by way of a public notice placed in a locally circulating newspaper. The effect of a Ministerial designation is that the use of the site for the described community infrastructure and services may proceed despite the local government s planning scheme. This designation will be undertaken in accordance with Chapter 5, Part 2 of the SPA. 2.2 Designation Process This Initial Assessment Report represents Step 1 of the designation process (refer to Appendix 2) and is intended to support the public notification stage (Step 4). Once information gathered as part of this stage is collated, the Final Assessment Report (Step 5) will be prepared for consideration by the Minister for Education, Training and Employment. The deviated process described in section 2.1 of this report results in the omission of Steps 2 and 3 of the designation process (refer to Appendix 2).

12 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 12 of Current Planning Provisions 6.1 Planning Scheme Where land is not designated for community infrastructure, any development involving a material change of use of premises should have regard to the requirements of the relevant planning scheme. Whilst the intended designation will result in the development being exempt from assessment against this planning scheme, consideration must still be given to its relevant provisions. The Hinchinbrook Shire Planning Scheme is the relevant planning scheme for the site. 6.2 Zoning The site is located within the Public Purposes Zone under the Hinchinbrook Shire Planning Scheme as illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 2 Zone Map Source: Hinchinbrook Shire Planning Scheme Key development outcomes sought by the Hinchinbrook Shire Planning Scheme for development in the Public Purposes Zone are identified below: (a) the on-going functions of all levels of government and use of land owned or occupied by the Crown or public instrumentalities are recognised and protected; (b) the potential effects of vacant Crown land and the use of land by a public instrumentality is recognised and planned for appropriately.

The proposal would be defined as an Educational Establishment under the Hinchinbrook Shire Planning Scheme. Educational Establishment: Premises used for educational purposes and includes such facilities as kindergartens, pre-schools, primary and secondary schools and places of higher learning. The term also includes the ancillary residential accommodation of staff and students where such accommodation is located within the same site 6.5 Level of Assessment Development for Educational Establishment in the Public Purposes Zone is Code Assessable development, in accordance with the level of assessment tables under the Hinchinbrook Shire Planning Scheme and would trigger an IDAS development application to HSC were an exemption for community infrastructure not available. The effect of the designation is that the use of the site for the Ingham State High School and new TTC will be exempt from the local government s planning scheme. 6.6 Building Works Building works associated with development on the site by or on behalf of the State or a public sector entity will be self-assessable development in accordance with Schedule 3, Part 2, Table 1, item 1 of the Sustainable Planning Regulation Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

16 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 16 of Statement of Compatibility with Current Planning Provisions The proposed designation of the Ingham State High School and future development of a TTC is in keeping with the intent and overall outcomes for the zone in that it provides for the continued use and enhancement of government provided facilities available for the benefit of the community. Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

17 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 17 of Ingham State High School 7.1 Intent of Designation It is proposed to designate the site for the purposes of the Ingham State High School and new Trade Training Centre. The proposed use is further described in section 7.2 of this report and illustrated on the site plan as contained in Appendix Proposed Trade Training Centre at Ingham State High School Currently there is a shortage of trained and semi-trained workers in the Agriculture sector and future trends indicate a dire need of these skills in the future within the Hinchinbrook Shire. Agriculture is the major employer and financial base of the Hinchinbrook Shire but is experiencing difficulty attracting workers due to lack of training at a local level and until recently, a lack of accredited pathways. The sugar and grazing sectors both require a prospective workforce that possesses entry level qualifications and a basic understanding of the industry. With this information in mind, a decision was made to focus the TTC on Agribusiness. The project involves building a facility at the school to train its students and members of the local communities in the following courses: Certificate 3 in Laboratory Skills; and Certificates 2 & 3 in Agriculture Studies. The programs to be offered by the TTC will enhance and further develop partnerships with local industry and address skills shortages by: Increase year 12 retention rates Increase the numbers of school-based apprenticeships Increase young people s skill base to provide greater ability to transition from school to work Engage all stakeholders from Industry, Education and training Enhance links with the Ingham Campus of TAFE. The new facility will support and enhance opportunities for a greater range of students to access and advance into existing learnings and enhanced level qualifications through high quality industryfocussed facilities and equipment within the school setting. The TTC facilities will also provide a more established pathway, options and access for future higher qualifications, SATs and where possible, apprenticeships within the local region. The facilities will provide training and promote future student pathways and career options. A new Agribusiness Centre will be located at the corner of Menzies Street and Marina Parade will consist of the following facilities: Space Functional Unit Area m2 Net Functional Area m2 - Enclosed Net Functional Area m2 Roofed Unenclosed Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

New gate and DDA compliant concrete path access to existing footpath in Marina Parade. DDA compliant concrete path to the nearest school building. Roof water collection and 1 x 4500L rainwater tank installed with associated connection to existing systems as appropriate. 7.3 Statement of Public Benefit Educational and community facilities are defined as community infrastructure under Schedule 2 of the SP Regulation, being assets necessary to support the community and for the public benefit. The proposed community infrastructure will satisfy the community s expectations for the efficient and timely supply of the infrastructure. The project will be constructed and operated in a manner that avoids adverse environmental impacts on the surrounding natural environment. Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

19 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 19 of Legislation and Policy Requirements In terms of development under the SPA, the designation is proposed to be undertaken in accordance with Chapter 5, Part 2 of the Act. The effect of the designation, if made, is that the use of the site for the designated community infrastructure and service will be exempt from the local government s planning scheme. 8.1 State and Commonwealth Legislation Ministerial Designation is being sought for the site; hence this will exempt the State from any development approval requirements triggered under the local planning scheme. However, it is noted that this does not exempt the State from obtaining approvals/licenses and meeting obligations under Commonwealth and State legislation. Any future development on the site is to be carried out in a manner that avoids significant adverse impacts to the onsite and surrounding environment and which gives appropriate regard to the provisions of the following (but not limited to) Commonwealth and State legislation: Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003; Building Act 1975; Environmental Protection Act 1994 Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 Nature Conservation Act 1992; Queensland Heritage Act 1992; Sustainable Planning Act 2009; Transport Infrastructure Act Vegetation Management Act 1999; Water Act State Planning Policy Section 207(2)(d) of the SPA provides that the designating Minister must consider each relevant State Planning Policy (SPP). SPPs are the policy documents through which the State Government describes its interest in development related matters. The single State Planning Policy came into effect early December The new State Planning Policy and the State interests described therein are discussed as follows. State Interest Planning for Liveable Communities and Housing Liveable Communities Housing Supply and Diversity Planning for Economic Growth Applicability N/A N/A Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

20 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 20 of 35 State Interest Agriculture Development and construction Mining and extractive resources Tourism Planning for the environment and heritage Biodiversity Coastal Environment Cultural Heritage Water Quality Planning for hazards and safety Emissions and hazardous activities Natural Hazards Infrastructure Energy and Water Supply State Transport and Infrastructure Strategic airports and aviation facilities Strategic Ports Applicability N/A N/A N/A N/A Yes Yes Yes Yes N/A Yes N/A N/A N/A N/A A description of the relevant State Interests to the proposal and their applicability to the current designation proposal is provided below: Planning for Liveable Communities and Housing Liveable Communities The liveability of communities is of fundamental concern to all levels of government as it directly influences our quality of life and wellbeing. Quality of life is influenced by a range of factors, including the built and natural environments in which we live and the ability to access employment and quality open spaces to interact with nature and other people. Community health and wellbeing is also vital to our economic prosperity due to the impact that poor health and a lack of social cohesion can place on healthcare systems. Liveable communities through good urban design can help alleviate these pressures and the associated economic and social costs. The proposal contributes to the state interest of liveable communities through the provision of expanded community infrastructure to support the community Housing supply and diversity Housing is required to cater for different lifestyles, incomes, ages, household and family types and community needs. Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

21 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 21 of 35 The state s interest in housing supply and diversity is to ensure there is sufficient land and housing stock in appropriate locations, to support vital development, resource and infrastructure related projects and meet the diverse needs of different sections of the community. The proposal is intended to be used for the purposes of expanded community infrastructure within an existing community Planning for Economic Growth Agriculture Agriculture is central to Queensland s economic productivity, employment and the supply of food, fibre, fish, timber and foliage for domestic and international markets. The state s interest in planning for agriculture is to reduce the potential for conflict between agricultural land and other uses, protect resources from inappropriate development, minimise encroachment to ensure viable tracts of agricultural land are maintained and improve opportunities for increased agricultural production and diversification. The site is located in an established urban area and classified as class 5 - unsuitable for agriculture. The proposal does however provide training opportunities intended to support rural producers in the region and is therefore considered to promote this State interest Development and Construction Effective planning needs to ensure that a broad range of economic development opportunities are able to grow in response to current and projected economic demand; and the needs of the communities in which they operate. This needs to be supported through efficient assessment processes and planning for infrastructure to ensure that development opportunities can be realised. The site is intended to be used for the purposes of continuing community infrastructure and does not impede the achievement of the state interest Mining and extractive resources Mineral, coal, petroleum, gas, and extractive resources are appropriately considered in order to support the productive use of mining resources, a strong resource industry, economical supply of construction materials and avoidance of land use conflicts wherever possible. The site is not identified as a key resource area or area suitable for coal, mineral, petroleum and gas resources Tourism Tourism planning and development opportunities that are appropriate and sustainable are supported; and the social, cultural and natural values underpinning the tourism developments are protected to maximise economic growth. The site is located in an urban area and proposes to expand the existing community infrastructure on site. The proposal will not adversely impact upon an existing or planned tourism development.

22 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 22 of Planning for the Environment and Heritage Biodiversity Biodiversity (biological diversity) is the variability among living organisms from all sources (including terrestrial, aquatic, marine and other ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part), at all levels of organisation, including genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity. Planning can support the safeguarding and ecological resilience of biodiversity by protecting and managing species habitat, ecosystems and ecosystem services and other natural values. For national environmental significance: (1) considering matters of national environmental significance in the local government area, and the requirements of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, and For state environmental significance: (2) identifying matters of state environmental significance, and (3) locating development in areas that avoids significant and adverse impacts on matters of state environment significance, and (4) maintaining or enhancing ecological connectivity, and (5) facilitating the protection of matters of state environment significance by requiring development to, in order of priority: (a) avoid adverse impacts, and (b) mitigate adverse impacts, where these cannot be avoided, and (c) where applicable, offset any residual adverse impacts through restoration and enhancement actions that achieve, at a minimum, no net loss in biodiversity at an individual species and collective biodiversity level, and (6) facilitating a net gain in koala habitat in South East Queensland, and For local environmental significance: (7) considering matters of local environmental significance, where considered appropriate by a local government The proposed designation is not considered to impact on any matter of national, state or local environmental significance. The environmental assessment documented in section 9 of this report demonstrates the consistency of the designation proposal with this State interest Coastal Environment The coastal environment is important for its natural processes and resources and its economic, social and aesthetic values. With a significant portion of the Queensland population living and working along the coast, planning and land use decisions should promote liveable communities as well as effectively managing urban growth needs, and promoting consolidation through infill and redevelopment within existing urban areas. Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

23 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 23 of 35 The site is not located within the boundaries of a Coastal Management District Cultural Heritage Queensland s world, national, state and local heritage is unique, diverse and irreplaceable. Planning has a key role to ensure that development affecting a heritage place of cultural heritage significance supports its long-term conservation through preservation, restoration, reconstruction or adaptive reuse and renewal. Where practicable, development can also enhance our appreciation of cultural heritage values. All cultural heritage: The site is not identified as a world heritage properties and or national heritage place. Indigenous cultural heritage: Search results from the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP) Cultural Heritage Database should be undertaken. It is noted that any Aboriginal cultural heritage, if found, is protected under the terms of the ACH Act even if EHP has no record relating to it. Contract documents will include provisions for works to cease and the relevant Aboriginal Party to be contacted if evidence of Aboriginal cultural heritage is encountered during site works. Non-indigenous cultural heritage: The site is not listed on the Queensland Heritage Register Water Quality Healthy lakes, streams, wetlands, ground waters, coastal waters and catchments are an integral part our lifestyle and economy, to which we associate many environmental values, including aquatic ecosystems, agriculture, industry (including mining), recreational use, drinking water, fishing, and cultural and spiritual values. In order to protect this valuable resource, and enhance the environmental values of Queensland waters, catchments should be managed sustainably. This means that the planning, design, construction and operation of development should be undertaken in a manner that protects water environmental values and maintains or enhances water quality. A conceptual stormwater management response has been provided for the project by Brown Consulting (QLD) Pty Ltd (refer Appendix 8). Operational phase stormwater quality measures are not proposed given the urbanised nature of the larger downstream catchment and negligible impact the proposed development will have on stormwater quality. Best practice stormwater quality treatment will be specified to the development on that basis, comprising a vegetated swale. This feature will provide an appropriate degree of water quality treatment. Treatment measures to control the discharge of sediment laden runoff during the construction phase of the development will be provided. The new works have a small impervious area in relation to the existing impervious areas on the site. Based on survey and aerial photographs, the new area of development is less than a 5% Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

24 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 24 of 35 increase of the existing hardstand areas onsite. Therefore the increase in stormwater run-off from the site will not be perceivable let alone adverse. No peak flow mitigation (i.e. detention) is therefore proposed Planning for Hazards and Safety Emissions and hazardous activities Protecting the health, safety, wellbeing and amenity of communities and the environment is a fundamental role of land use planning. Some activities including industrial development and noisy sport and recreation activities have the potential to cause nuisance to communities and other sensitive uses through the creation of environmental emissions including air, noise and odours. Certain developments need to be planned and effectively managed to avoid or minimise any potential adverse impacts from emissions and hazardous materials. The site for the proposed Agribusiness Centre is located in away from sensitive neighbours such as residential land uses to the south. The proposed use is unlikely to generate any increased adverse noise and air emissions that exceed the objectives identified in Schedule 1 the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 and Environmental Protection (Air) Policy Natural Hazards In Queensland, the key natural hazards are flooding, bushfires, landslides, storm tide inundation and coastal erosion. The state s interest in natural hazards seeks to ensure natural hazards are properly considered in all levels of the planning system, that community resilience is increased and hazards are avoided or mitigate where possible. The site is not located within a bushfire hazard area. A flood hazard advice has been provided by Brown Consulting (QLD) Pty Ltd (refer to Appendix 8). The advice noted that the major regional flood level defined by the Flood Ready report is defined to be 12.6m AHD, which would be expected to correspond to the 100 year ARI flood event. Based on survey for the site, the existing natural contours at the proposed development site are in the range of 13.0m to 13.7m AHD, therefore the risk to the proposed development based on the major flood height provided is perceived to be low as the natural surface levels are above the major defined flood height. The nominated floor level for the new development is 13.7m AHD. This level is required to provide compatibility to the surrounding existing School development. Given that this floor level provides 1.1m of freeboard to the major defined flood level from the HSC Flood Ready report, it is considered that this floor level is appropriate to provide flood immunity and safety within the building during the defined flood event. The proposed development will require minor filling works to establish the building platform. This filling works are expected to occur above the defined major flood level, therefore there will be no flood impact due to loss in flood storage as a result of the development. Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

25 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 25 of 35 The development will not result in adverse impact on people s safety or the capacity to use flood affected land. Public safety and the environment are not adversely affected by the detrimental impacts of floodwater on hazardous material. No hazardous materials are to be stored within the development area below the defined major flood level of 12.6m. Essential Services Infrastructure (eg. on-site electricity, water, sewer etc) shall remain operational during the 100 year ARI flood event. Below the 100 year ARI flood level all services are to be flood compatible and flood resilient. Critical connections switches or devices are to be located above the 100 year ARI flood level Planning for Infrastructure Energy and Water Supply The state s network of high voltage electricity and bulk water supply infrastructure provide the backbone of this system, moving electricity and water resources from generators and storage sites to the areas in which they are consumed. The planning system can play an important role in supporting the timely, safe, cost efficient, and reliable provision and operation of this infrastructure. The site is not located in proximity to a high voltage electricity easement or bulk water supply infrastructure State transport infrastructure and networks Economic and social development in Queensland is dependent on a system of transport infrastructure that is safe, structurally sound and reliable. Development must have regard to the location of existing infrastructure, access, design features, safety requirements, function, current and future operating conditions and the increased infrastructure demand and maintenance requirements that may result from development. The proposed facility consists of a new shed for use by the existing school population, which will not generate any increased traffic to the site or potential impact on the transport infrastructure and network Strategic airports and aviation facilities Strategic airports and aviation facilities play a key role in facilitating economic growth in Queensland. The strategic airports and aviation facilities to which the SPP applies are essential elements of the national and state air transport network and the national defence system. Ensuring development does not impact on the safe and efficient operation of these facilities will support continued. The site is not identified as being in close proximity to a Strategic airports and aviation facilities and this state interest is not applicable to the proposal Strategic ports Queensland s sea ports are a major component of both the national and state supply chain. They provide a vital connection to global markets, facilitating import and export of goods and materials Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

26 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 26 of 35 that are integral to the Queensland economy and our quality of life. Ensuring development does not impact on the safe and efficient operation of Queensland s sea ports will support continued growth of the state s economy and Australia s national defence system. The site is not identified as being in close proximity to a strategic port and this state interest is not applicable to the proposal. 8.3 State Planning Regulatory Provisions Section 207(2) (b) of the SPA provides that the designating Minister must consider each relevant State Planning Regulatory Provisions (SPRP). SPRPs are the policy documents through which the State Government describes its interest in development related matters. The gazetted SPRPs, operating under the SPA are as follows: State Planning Regulatory Provision Yeerongpilly Transit Oriented Development State Planning Regulatory Provision 2014 South East Queensland Regional Plan State planning regulatory provisions Guragunbah State Planning Regulatory Provision State planning regulatory provision (Adopted Charges) Off-road motorcycling facility on State-owned land at Wyaralong State Planning Regulatory Provisions (Adult stores) South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions Relevance to Subject Site N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 8.4 Regional Planning The site is note located within a region subject to a regional plan. Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

27 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 27 of Environmental Assessment and Management Before designating land for community infrastructure, an assessment must be made of: any environmental impacts that the development or use may generate; and ways in which those environmental impacts are being managed or mitigated. Regard is given to natural and physical resources, as well as short and long term effects and impacts on the environment and community from both the construction and operational phase of the proposed community infrastructure. The range of matters considered includes: soils and geology; natural resources and hazards; conservation and heritage values; health, safety, amenity and social impacts; infrastructure, traffic and transport. These matters are considered and addressed in the following sections of this report. 9.1 Soils and Geology A geotechnical investigation will be carried for the site to establish the nature and type of subsurface material to allow engineering assessment of site classification (AS2870); foundation recommendations; earthworks and site management Erosion Risk To minimise the risk of releasing sediment (and other contaminants) to waters during construction and to the meet the General Environmental Duty under the EP Act, a site erosion and sediment control plan (ESCP) will be prepared in accordance with the IEA Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control prior to commencing construction. The ESCP will address the erosion risks identified for the site. The ESCP is to be implemented and monitored throughout the construction phase Acid Sulfate Soils The entire school site is mapped as Low probability/very low Confidence for acid sulphate soil under the Australian Soil Resource Information System (Appendix 5). The existing natural contours at the proposed development site are in the range of 13.0m to 13.7m AHD. It is unlikely that soils below 5m AHD will be disturbed by the proposed works or that works will involve the removal of 100m3 or more; or filling of 500m3 or more of the material with an average depth off >0.5m. There is considered to be a low probability that ASS will be disturbed by the proposal. Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

28 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 28 of Strategic Cropping Land The subject site is not mapped as Strategic Cropping Land under the Strategic Cropping Land Act 2011 (refer to Appendix 5). 9.2 Flora and Fauna Vegetation Management Act and EPBC Act The regulated vegetation map obtained from the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (DEHP), shows the site does not support areas of remnant or regrowth vegetation (Appendix 5). The Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA) Wildlife Online database indicates there is record of 3 near threatened and 1 Vulnerable species being present within a 1km radius of the site (refer to Appendix 6). The federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC) Protected Matters Report (refer to Appendix 6) identified some EPBC species (or their habitat) which may be present with in a 1km radius of the site including 1 critically endangered and 6 endangered and 4 vulnerable fauna species; 3 endangered and 1 vulnerable flora species; and a number of migratory species. The likelihood of these species being present on the site is considered to be low given the lack of suitable habitat available on site and lack of connectivity. Tree clearing will be necessary for siting of the proposed works. trees to be removed will be confirmed and inspected for hollows and nests by a suitably qualified person prior to clearing. If hollows, nests or other potential breeding places are present, assessment will be carried out by a suitably qualified person to determine if they are breeding places in accordance with the Nature Conservation Act Vegetation that is not required to be cleared for the proposed development will be protected from construction impacts in accordance with the AS Protection of Trees on Development Sites. The subject site is not within a Declared Fish Habitat Area as defined under Schedule 3 of the Fisheries Regulation Protected and Vulnerable Areas There are no wetlands or conservation estates as defined under the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009 on or within 100 metres of the subject site (refer to Appendix 5). As the site located within an urbanised area, it is considered unlikely that the proposed development will harm any nearby sensitive environmental areas Koala Conservation The subject site is not located within the South East Queensland Koala Protection Area; therefore the State Government Supported Community Infrastructure Koala Conservation Policy is not applicable. Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

29 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 29 of Invasive Species Under the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002, declared plant species of Queensland are classified under three (3) categories: Class 1: By Law, landholders must keep their land free of this class of declared plant species; Class 2: By Law, landholders must try to keep their land free of this class of pest plant, it is illegal to possess, sell or release these species without a permit; and Class 3: Control by landowners is not deemed to be warranted unless the plant is impacting, or has the potential to impact, on a nearby environmentally significant area. It is an offence to sell, introduce, release or supply a Class 3 species. The Federal EPBC Protected Matter Report (Appendix 6) identified 12 invasive fauna and 5 invasive flora species within 1km radius of the site. If invasive species are encountered during site works, they are to be removed and disposed of in accordance with legislative requirements. The site is not located within a declared fire ant restricted area (Red Zone) (refer to Appendix 5). 9.3 Stormwater The proposed facility will be constructed on the land which is currently unpaved; therefore once developed the total infiltration area will decrease. This will result in an increase in hard surface area and potentially impact the existing stormwater systems within the site. The SPP requires that development should be designed and constructed to manage stormwater and waste water in a method that protects environmental values as per the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy A conceptual stormwater management response has been provided for the project by Brown Consulting (QLD) Pty Ltd (refer Appendix 8). Operational phase stormwater quality measures are not proposed given the urbanised nature of the larger downstream catchment and negligible impact the proposed development will have on stormwater quality. Best practice stormwater quality treatment will be specified to the development on that basis, comprising a vegetated swale. This feature will provide an appropriate degree of water quality treatment. Treatment measures to control the discharge of sediment laden runoff during the construction phase of the development will be provided. The new works have a small impervious area in relation to the existing impervious areas on the site. Based on survey and aerial photographs, the new area of development is less than a 5% increase of the existing hardstand areas onsite. Therefore the increase in stormwater run-off from the site will not be perceivable let alone adverse. No peak flow mitigation (i.e. detention) is therefore proposed. Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

30 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 30 of Natural Hazards Flooding A flood hazard advice has been provided by Brown Consulting (QLD) Pty Ltd (refer to Appendix 8). The advice noted that the major regional flood level defined by the Flood Ready report is defined to be 12.6m AHD, which would be expected to correspond to the 100 year ARI flood event. Based on survey for the site, the existing natural contours at the proposed development site are in the range of 13.0m to 13.7m AHD, therefore the risk to the proposed development based on the major flood height provided is perceived to be low as the natural surface levels are above the major defined flood height. The nominated floor level for the new development is 13.7m AHD. This level is required to provide compatibility to the surrounding existing School development. Given that this floor level provides 1.1m of freeboard to the major defined flood level from the HSC Flood Ready report, it is considered that this floor level is appropriate to provide flood immunity and safety within the building during the defined flood event. The proposed development will require minor filling works to establish the building platform. This filling works are expected to occur above the defined major flood level, therefore there will be no flood impact due to loss in flood storage as a result of the development Bushfire The site is located within a low bushfire hazard area. As the site has low fire risk, it is not proposed to undertake a bushfire hazard assessment or management plan Landslip The site is not mapped as affected by landslide under the planning scheme and while the site levels vary across the site the gradient of fall is not indicative of moderate or high risk of landslide. 9.5 Historical and Cultural Heritage Historical Heritage The site is not located on the heritage register by the HSC. A search of the Australian Government s Australian Heritage Places Inventory and the State Heritage Register indicated that the site is not listed on these databases Cultural Heritage The Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACHA) requires that a person must exercise Due Diligence and reasonable precaution before undertaking an activity which may harm Aboriginal Cultural Heritage. The ACHA - Duty of Care Guidelines (the Guidelines) was gazetted in April 2004 to provide guidance on actions required to demonstrate compliance with this Act. In accordance with the guideline the works are considered to constitute ta category 4 activity and subject to Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

31 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 31 of 35 measures set out in paragraph under Category 4 of the Duty of Care Guidelines, the proposed activity can proceed without further cultural heritage assessment. A search of the DATSIMA database conducted in August 2014, indicated that no Aboriginal Cultural Heritage was recorded for the site. It should be noted that any Aboriginal cultural heritage, if found, is protected under the terms of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 even if DATSIMA has no records relating to it. The contract documentation will provide for the activity to immediately cease and the relevant Aboriginal party to be notified if an object or evidence of archaeological or historic significance of Aboriginal occupation of the area or Aboriginal human remains are encountered in the course of undertaking an activity and there is a need to excavate, relocate, remove or harm those items/areas, Native Title DETE will undertake a preliminary assessment of the subject site and confirm status of Native Title. The parcel is an Estate in fee simple and therefore native title is likely to have been extinguished by virtue of a previous exclusive possession act (PEPA). 9.6 Health, Safety, Amenity and Social Impacts Construction Impacts The site is located in an urban area. The construction of the proposed development is likely to create nuisance for the neighbouring properties where inhabited by new residents. Possible noise impacts on surrounding residences will need to be considered during design, construction and operation of any future development within the subject lot. A Construction Environmental Management Plan is to be prepared for the development. The plan will include at a minimum default noise standards detailed in the Environmental Protection Act 1999, dust mitigation methods, waste control and erosion and sediment control plans. Unless otherwise approved in any development approvals and/or statutory permits, Works must comply as a minimum with default noise standard detailed in the Environmental Protection Act 1999 including: Building work should be restricted to Monday to Saturday (excluding public holidays) between 6.30 and 6.30 pm; Operation of regulated devices such as chainsaws, mulches and electrical, mechanical or pneumatic power tools should be restricted to Monday to Saturday (excluding public holidays) between 7 am and 7 pm; and Work should not be undertaken on public holidays Air Quality Owing to the nature of the proposed use and the adjoining land uses no negative air quality impacts are likely to be generated from the proposed TTC. Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

32 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 32 of Noise and Light The proposal is not considered to result in the generation of adverse noise or light. Any external lighting associated with the activity will comply with the Australian Standard AS Control of the obtrusive effects of outdoor lighting Visual and Scenic Amenity The site is not located in an area of visual or scenic amenity Social Impacts Negative impacts associated with the proposal are not anticipated, owing to the established nature of the use of the site for educational purposes. 9.7 Pollutants, Contamination and Hazardous Materials Contamination No lots are contained on the Environmental Management Register or Contaminated Land Register. It is considered unlikely that any notifiable activities would be conducted on the site as part of the proposed development. The site is not located in an area affected by unexploded ordinance (UXO). Refer to Appendix 7) Hazardous Materials The area of the site subject to this development is vacant and no dwellings or structures are present, therefore no hazardous material are likely to be exposed as the result of this development, unless uncovered during groundworks Waste Waste that will be generated by the proposed development is to be confirmed during the planning and design stage. Appropriate waste management facilities will be included in the design along with a waste management plan if necessary. It is unlikely that the activity will generate any regulated waste, however if any regulated waste was to be generated at the facility it would be required to be handled and disposed appropriately and in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Protection Act Municipal Infrastructure Water and Sewer Reticulated water and sewer services are available to the site. Property connections will be unchanged by the proposal. Building and Asset Services Professional Services V1.1

33 Initial Assessment Report Ingham State High School Page 33 of Power, Gas and Telecommunications Electricity and telecommunication services are available to the site as existing. 9.8 Road Infrastructure, Site Access and Traffic The existing school site can be accessed from Marina Parade and Menzies Street with parking available in the street. No augmentation to site access is proposed. The TTC within the Ingham State High School does not result in the creation of additional site access or parking and does not facilitate an increase in student populations. Rather, the TTC provides increased / enhanced services for the existing student population. As such, it is considered that a traffic assessment is not required as part of this proposal.

96 Coordinates Caveat The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at the end of the report. This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining obligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act It holds mapped locations of World Heritage and Register of National Estate properties, Wetlands of International Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species and listed threatened ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various resolutions. Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general guide only. Where available data supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making a referral may need to consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources. For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location data are used to produce indicative distribution maps. For species where the distributions are well known, maps are digitised from sources such as recovery plans and detailed habitat studies. Where appropriate, core breeding, foraging and roosting areas are indicated under 'type of presence'. For species whose distributions are less well known, point locations are collated from government wildlife authorities, museums, and non-government organisations; bioclimatic distribution models are generated and these validated by experts. In some cases, the distribution maps are based solely on expert knowledge. Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped: - migratory and - marine The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports produced from this database: - threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants - some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed - some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area - migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species: - non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites - seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

105 Appendix 8 Stormwater and Flood Hazard Advice

106 Our Ref: Contact: B SWMPFHA.TO.to.docx Tom Oliver 18 November 2014 Towill Design Group PO Box 693 NEW FARM QLD 4005 Attention: Rachel Towill Dear Rachel Ingham State High School - New Trade Training Centre Concept Stormwater Management Plan and Flood Hazard Assessment Brown Consulting (QLD) Pty Ltd have been commissioned by Towill Design Group Pty Ltd (on behalf of the Department of Education, Training and Employment (DETE)), to prepare a Concept Stormwater Management Plan and Flood Hazard Assessment to support the detailed design of the new Trade Training Centre at Ingham State High School, Menzies Street, Ingham. This letter report addresses the management of stormwater quality during the operational phase of the proposed building and the areas directly surrounding the building in accordance with the requirements of Hinchinbrook Shire Council (HSC) and the State Planning Policy July 2014 (SPP). A flood hazard assessment has also been completed. This assessment has been predominately a desk top study considering available flood data from HSC. 1. Location, Site Details and Topography The site is described as Lot 82 on CWL3300 and has an area of approximately 30,000m 2. The site is a developed School site with numerous classrooms, teaching facilities and hardstand areas. The site is bound by Menzies Street to the west, Marina Parade to the north, Borello Street to the south, and the racecourse / golf course to the east. The site is located in a residential area with parkland and recreational space. Palm Creek is located nearby to the School to the north. There is limited survey available, but based on what is available of the two original proposed sites for the School, generally there is fall across the site from the west to the east. Based on the available survey, there is existing stormwater infrastructure within the School site. 2. Proposed Development The proposed development is a new single storey Trade Training Centre with a total area of approximately 370m 2, plus external covered link and verandah areas of approximately 210m 2. The new building will be equipped with downpipes and reticulation to the existing stormwater infrastructure to the design and specification of the hydraulic engineer. Architectural layout plans of the proposed new development have been attached to this letter. The Trade Training Centre is referred to as the development throughout this report.

107 3. Concept Stormwater Management Plan The water quality requirements of the SPP need to be demonstrated for any development that involves the following: (1) Material change of use for urban purposes that involves a land area greater than 2500 square meters that: a. Will result in an impervious area greater than 25 per cent of the net developable area, or b. Will result in six or more dwellings, or (2) Reconfiguring a lot for urban purposes that involves a land area greater than 2500 square metres and will result in six or more lots, or (3) Operational works for urban purposes that involve disturbing more than 2500 square metres of land. The SPP can only practically be applied to the new area of works, not the pre-existing School development, where no works are proposed. Therefore, the SPP does not apply to the proposed development as it does not involve land area greater than 2500 square metres. Given the urbanised nature of the larger downstream catchment and negligible impact the proposed development will have on stormwater quality, operational phase stormwater quality measures are not proposed. Best practice stormwater quality treatment will be specified to the development on that basis, comprising a vegetated swale. This feature will provide some degree of water quality treatment. A concept site works plan for the proposed development is attached to this letter. Treatment measures to control the discharge of sediment laden runoff during the construction phase of the development will be provided. The new works have a small impervious area in relation to the existing impervious areas on the site. Based on survey and aerial photographs, the new area of development is less than a 5% increase of the existing hardstand areas onsite. Therefore the increase in stormwater run-off from the site will not be perceivable let alone adverse. No peak flow mitigation (i.e. detention) is therefore proposed. 4. Flood Hazard Assessment A flood hazard assessment has been completed for the proposed development. The assessment involved a desk top study review of HSC Regional Flood Maps for a regional 10 year ARI flood event and 100 year ARI flood event for Herbert River flooding, as well as a Flood Ready Table of Maximum Flood Levels. These documents are attached to this report. Discussions were also carried out with a representative from HSC. The school site is marked on the flood event maps as High School. The 10 year ARI flood map appears to indicate the School site is not subject to flooding, while the 100 year ARI flood map indicates that the School site would be subject to a depth of flooding of less than 0.5m. There is no information available to suggest that the School site is subject to overland flooding. The major regional flood level defined by the Flood Ready report is defined to be 12.6m AHD, which would be expected to correspond to the 100 year ARI flood event. Based on survey provided for the site, the existing natural contours at the proposed development site are in the range of 13.0m to 13.7m AHD, therefore the risk to the proposed development based on the major flood height provided is perceived to be low as the natural surface levels are above the major defined flood height. Discussions with the HSC representative indicated a flood certificate will be required for approval of development. A nominal fee is to be paid to HSC to provide a defined flood level for the proposed development. If the School does not already have this, it is recommended that this certificate is sought from HSC in order to provide confirmation of the suitability of the floor level nominated based on the flood maps and Flood Ready report. HSC also noted that updated flood modelling for the region is currently being completed. The nominated floor level for the new development is 13.7m AHD. This level is required to provide compatibility to the surrounding existing School development. Given that this floor level provides 1.1m of freeboard to the major defined flood level from the HSC Flood Ready report, it is considered that this floor level is appropriate to provide flood immunity and safety within the building during the defined flood event. This would need to be 2

108 confirmed with receipt of the flood certificate from HSC. The proposed development will require minor filling works to establish the building platform. This filling works are expected to occur above the defined major flood level, therefore there will be no flood impact due to loss in flood storage as a result of the development. The development will not result in adverse impact on people s safety or the capacity to use flood affected land. Public safety and the environment are not adversely affected by the detrimental impacts of floodwater on hazardous material. No hazardous materials are to be stored within the development area below the defined major flood level of 12.6m. Essential Services Infrastructure (eg. on-site electricity, water, sewer etc) shall remain operational during the 100 year ARI flood event. Below the 100 year ARI flood level all services are to be flood compatible and flood resilient. Critical connections switches or devices are to be located above the 100 year ARI flood level. 5. Conclusion This report has demonstrated:» The SPP does not apply to the proposed development and therefore operational stormwater quality treatment devices are not required, however Best practice stormwater quality treatment comprising a vegetated swale is proposed;» Due to the small impervious area created by the development (in comparison to the existing site impervious area) the increase in stormwater run-off from the site will not be perceivable let alone adverse. No peak flow mitigation is therefore proposed;» The nominated floor level of 13.7 AHD to the new Trade Training Centre is considered appropriate given the defined major regional flood event 100 year ARI flood level of 12.6m. This needs to be confirmed with receipt of a flood certificate from HSC. On this basis it is recommended that the conceptual design and management strategies discussed in this letter be approved and incorporated into the final design. Detailed design and construction drawings for the proposed works are to be completed. Detailed design may result in changes to this stormwater management and flood hazard assessment proposal but the design objectives will be maintained.
