21 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment 2.1.8 By deleting Part 1 of the Second Schedule and substituting the 1 following:-- 2 PART 1 3 INTRODUCTION 4 Development Background 5 1 Rezoning Application 6 1.1 Robina applied to the Council by Rezoning Application No. 7 2270 dated 10 July 1990 to exclude the subject land from the 8 present zone and include it in the proposed zone. 9 Master Planning 10 1.2 As discussions and negotiations in relation to that rezoning 11 application proceeded it became apparent that the development 12 proposed by Robina pursuant to the application involved the 13 master planning of a new mixed use community rather than a 14 specific development application and that the existing 15 legislation did not provide an adequate framework within 16 which to implement the proposal. 17 Deficiencies in Existing Legislation 18 1.3 The reasons why the existing legislation was inadequate may 19 be summarised as follows:-- 20 1.3.1 the inclusion of part of the land in the Special 21 Facilities (Robina Town Centre Core) zone is 22 intended to confer a legal right to use any part of 23 that land for any of the purposes set out in clauses 24 120 and 121 of Part 9, subject to the Council's 25 approval of the details of the final development 26 and, in the latter case, subject to obtaining town 27 planning consent; 28 1.3.2 the land to be included in the Special Business 29 zone may be used for any of the purposes set out 30 in Clauses 151.1 and 151.2 of Part 10 of the 31

 


 

22 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment Second Schedule subject to the relevant Plan of 1 Development and final development approval or 2 to obtaining the Council's consent where required; 3 1.3.3 the infrastructure requirements for the 4 development as a whole can be determined with 5 certainty on the basis of maximum equivalent 6 population fixed by prescription of limits on 7 building heights and site coverage for commercial 8 buildings and by prescription of maximum 9 populations for residential buildings; 10 1.3.4 it is nevertheless not possible to determine the 11 proportion or extent that each of the permitted or 12 permissible uses will assume; 13 1.3.5 it is similarly not possible to determine or specify 14 the precise form and sequence of development; 15 1.3.6 the matters referred to in Clauses 1.3.4 and 1.3.5 16 are capable of description but only in a conceptual 17 way by means of:-- 18 1.3.6.1 statements of planning and Precinct 19 intents describing the proposed 20 development in terms of uses to be 21 undertaken, facilities to be provided, 22 objectives to be achieved and the 23 form, character and intensity of the 24 final development; and 25 1.3.6.2 concept plans containing illustrations 26 or examples of how the statements of 27 intent might be implemented; 28 1.3.7 part of the land considered to form part of the 29 Robina Central concept, being the Northern Frame 30 land, had already been rezoned and there was no 31 adequate mechanism available to integrate this 32 approval with the rest of the proposal. 33

 


 

23 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment New Legislation 1 1.4 Because of these deficiencies in the existing legislation, it was 2 agreed with Council that legislation would be necessary to 3 specifically provide for the planning and development of the 4 Robina Central site. 5 Purposes of the Agreement 6 2. The purposes of this Agreement are to:-- 7 2.1 describe and promote Robina Central's overall intent, concepts, 8 form and implementation; 9 2.2 provide an implementation process to govern the detailed 10 planning, land use, development and landscaping requirements 11 and guidelines for Robina Central on a continuing basis; 12 2.3 specify with the necessary certainty and enforceability Robina's 13 obligations in relation to the construction of earthworks, roads 14 and services which cannot be adequately regulated by 15 application of existing legislation to the proposed development; 16 and 17 2.4 provide a mechanism and a process whereby Robina's 18 planning obligations in relation to the construction of buildings 19 can be determined, in accordance with specified development 20 requirements and within certain parameters, and subject to a 21 fair and effective dispute resolution process where necessary. 22 Structure of the Second Schedule 23 3 The Second Schedule of the Planning Agreement contains the 24 development intentions, implementation strategy, construction 25 obligations and development requirements for Robina Central. It is 26 structured as follows:-- 27 3.1 Part 2 covers the regional context of the development, together 28 with the planning intentions and the implementation process 29 for development within Robina Central. This part defines a 30 hierarchy of planning areas as the fundamental implementation 31 mechanism and the basis of development control. It also 32 identifies the need to provide flexibility for the development to 33 meet market and community expectations over the long term, 34

 


 

24 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment while still ensuring sufficient certainty as to the nature, form 1 and scale of the ultimate development. 2 3.2 Parts 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 deal with Robina's obligations in relation 3 to roads, water supply, sewerage, open space and pathways, 4 and waterways and weirs. This includes details on the extent 5 of works and their timing and the applicable headworks 6 charges and other contributions by Robina. 7 3.3 Part 8 addresses Robina's and Council's obligations in regard 8 to the establishment, leasing and operation of a public library 9 and a community centre within the site. 10 3.4 Parts 9, 10 and 11 cover the land uses and development 11 requirements and guidelines for the Core, Inner Frame, 12 Southern Frame and the Northern Frame, respectively. These 13 parts also address the requirements for applications in relation 14 to specific development proposals in each of these areas. 15 3.5 Part 12 deals with a range of general issues associated with the 16 overall development of Robina Central, including public 17 transport, street lighting, earthworks, tree preservation and 18 removal, environmental considerations and reclamation works. 19 3.6 Part 13 focuses on the obligations of Council in regard to 20 Robina Central, including issues of roads, services, community 21 facilities and commitments to supporting Robina's broad 22 intentions and objectives for development. 23 Planning of Land Use 24 4 The planning approach to determine land usage has adopted a 25 hierarchy of planning levels based on the concept of the combined site 26 being divided into four (4) Areas:-- 27 -- The Northern Frame 28 -- The Core 29 -- The Inner Frame 30 -- The Southern Frame 31 and permits each of those Areas where appropriate to be divided into 32 Precincts. It also provides for each Precinct to be further divided into 33

 


 

25 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment Development Sections. A more detailed explanation and the 1 implementation of this approach is contained in Part 2. 2 Construction of Development 3 5 Construction of development will usually occur in three stages:-- 4 5.1 the first stage being earthworks when the land is shaped and 5 roads, waterways, parks, etc. are formed; 6 5.2 the second stage when services such as roads, water supply, 7 sewerage, electricity and telephone are constructed; and 8 5.3 the third is when construction of buildings occurs. 9 Earthworks Zones and Service Districts 10 6 Earthworks contracts will usually be undertaken over a larger area than 11 that for which services are to be provided. Accordingly, for ease of 12 administration and understanding, the combined site will be 13 categorised by:-- 14 6.1 "Earthworks Zones" within which earthworks will be carried 15 out in accordance with an approved plan or plans; and 16 6.2 "Service Districts" within which services will be constructed 17 or provided in accordance with an approved plan or plans. 18 Adoption of Usage and Construction Scheme 19 7 This Agreement has therefore adopted the following scheme:-- 20 Areas (for usage) Earthworks Zones (for earthworks) 21 Precincts (for usage) Service Districts (for services) 22 Development Sections (for usage) 23 which may be shown diagrammatically as follows:-- 24 25

 


 

26 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment THE COMBINED SITE 1 USAGE CONSTRUCTION 2 AREAS EARTHWORKS ZONE 3 4 PRECINCTS PRECINCTS SERVICE DISTRICTS SERVICE DISTRICTS 5 DEVELOPMENT SECTIONS 6 7 Importance of Identifying Zones and Districts 8 8 Having regard to the foregoing scheme, the proper identification of 9 Earthworks Zones and, more importantly, Service Districts is of 10 fundamental importance from the point of view of development 11 control. The usage to which the combined site may be put is 12 already controlled by the terms of this Agreement and, subject 13 thereto, the precise content and form of the final development are 14 matters for Robina and other parties who ultimately take the benefit 15 of this Agreement or the approval of subsequent applications. 16 Development to be Orderly & Controlled 17 9 The Council requires that development occur in an orderly and 18 controlled manner and this is to be achieved by requiring Robina to 19 complete, effectively secure and/or effectively co-ordinate the first 20 two stages of construction (earthworks and services) in any given 21 Service District before fragmentation of the landholding in that 22 District is permitted. The provisions of Sections 4 (Bonding, 23 Security & Release of Plans) and 7 (Sale and Transfer of Land) in 24 this Agreement are designed to achieve this result. 25 26

 


 

27 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment 2.1.9 By deleting Part 2 of the Second Schedule and substituting the 1 following:-- 2 PART 2 3 PLANNING INTENTIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION 4 Intent of Robina Central 5 10 Robina Central is intended to be developed as a major 6 comprehensively planned Regional Business Centre 7 accommodating the highest order of retailing, business, 8 administration, entertainment, cultural, recreational and community 9 facilities as well as a wide range of housing choices. This will be 10 achieved by maximising the integration of this broad range of land 11 uses in innovative and flexible forms of mixed use development 12 which avoid incompatibility of uses. 13 Regional Context 14 11 Given its strategic location and the opportunity to comprehensively 15 plan a "green field" site, Robina Central will play a major role in 16 serving central place needs. This relates not just to adjacent districts, 17 but also to the area included in the Gold Coast Statistical District and 18 southern parts of the wider Brisbane to Gold Coast Urban Corridor 19 together with parts of Northern New South Wales, as demonstrated 20 by Plan 2/2/1. 21 As the first major Regional Business Centre to be located inland 22 from the coastal strip, it is well placed to service the needs of the 23 growing hinterland population. Its strategic location at the 24 intersection of major arterial roads with the Pacific Highway and at 25 the terminus of the proposed Brisbane to Robina railway will ensure 26 high levels of accessibility to and from both the local and wider 27 regions. 28 The opportunity this location offers for Robina Central to become a 29 major public transport focus with a transit network radiating from 30 the proposed rail terminus, will enable its development as a major 31 office employment centre for both the public and private sectors as 32

 


 

28 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment well as a major centre for the provision of government/community 1 services, cultural and recreational facilities. Convenient access to 2 public transport will also benefit the residents of Robina Central. 3 The high employment potential is enhanced by Robina Central's 4 location close to the Bond University and its Research Park as well 5 as by its attractive water enhanced landscape setting at the edge of 6 the Merrimac regional open space corridor. 7 The continuing development of the Merrimac regional open space 8 corridor for golf and recreation resort facilities, the increasing tourist 9 traffic on the national Pacific Highway and the proximity to both 10 hinterland and coastal tourist and recreation attractions will ensure a 11 major tourism and recreation role for Robina Central for hotel/motel 12 accommodation, shopping and support facilities. 13 In view of these opportunities, it is recognised that Robina Central 14 may in time develop as a major central place anchor for the Brisbane 15 to Gold Coast Urban Corridor as well as one of the major regional 16 business districts for the Gold Coast Statistical District. The 17 possibility of Robina Central becoming the dominant central 18 business district for the region is neither disregarded nor 19 discouraged and the Council recognises that the matters referred to 20 in this section give Robina Central a potential advantage in that 21 regard. The Council, however, views Robina Central as one of the 22 regional business centres in its Strategic Plan. 23 Flexibility for Innovative Development 24 12 In view of the long term nature of the development being 25 undertaken, it is recognised that a flexible approach will be required 26 in relation to innovative development concepts, standards and 27 practices to take account of technological advances, market variables 28 and changing patterns in our society. Indeed, to ensure the 29 continued vitality of Robina Central, it will be important to keep 30 abreast of the latest developments in all areas affecting its 31 development and operations. 32 This need for flexibility is inherent in the range of Planning 33 Intentions and Implementation Plans that have been or will be 34 prepared in relation to the development of Robina Central. 35

 


 

29 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment Planning Intentions and Implementation 1 13 The overall vision for development and the broad planning 2 intentions for Robina Central are reflected in the structure plan and 3 master plan. These plans enable a visualisation of the fundamental 4 site layout and the inter-relationships of the broad mixture of land 5 uses proposed. 6 A hierarchy of planning areas has been derived from the structure 7 plan, as the basis for planning implementation and to guide the 8 intensity and form of future development. The whole of the Robina 9 Central area is divided into four land use Areas viz the Core and 10 three Frames (Refer Plan 2/2/4A). These are in turn divided or to be 11 divided into development Precincts each with their own statement of 12 intent covering the desired type, form and intensity of development 13 envisaged. Within these Precincts, Development Sections will be 14 identified as the basis for preparing a Plan of Development for each 15 Development Section that accords with the Precinct intents and 16 contains the final land uses, planning principles and design and 17 siting guidelines to control development. 18 For the purpose of development unity, the major open space and 19 access networks have been determined to integrate the development 20 Precincts and complete the overall development configuration. 21 Finally, the master development plan is the means by which details 22 from each of the above planning instruments will be drawn together 23 to monitor the progress of Robina Central during development and 24 to form a permanent statutory record of approvals and consents. 25 The following diagram summarises the planning intentions and 26 implementation process for Robina Central. It is provided as a 27 means of assisting readers of this Agreement to understand the 28 relationship between the visionary concepts and intentions for the 29 development of Robina Central and the process by which those 30 visions will be translated and implemented into reality, based upon 31 best planning practices, the provisions of this Agreement and need. 32

31 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment Revisions to Planning Intentions and Implementation Plans 1 14 Robina may, from time to time, with the approval of Council amend 2 the structure plan, the master plan, the open space and pathway 3 network plan, and the Precinct plans to reflect change, more detailed 4 planning and market expectations. Robina must consult with 5 Council on a proposed revision of a plan and must provide any 6 relevant information in support of its proposed revision as may 7 reasonably be required by Council. In revising a plan Robina must, 8 to the extent possible, take into account Council's reasonable and 9 relevant requirements. When Robina amends a plan, it must lodge 10 the revised plan with Council which plan will replace and be 11 substituted for the previous plan. 12 Planning Concepts and Intentions--Structure Plan 13 15 Plan 2/2/2A is the structure plan to guide in general terms the 14 planning and development of Robina Central. It is broadly based on 15 the combined site and contiguous areas that have direct land use 16 interrelationships with the proposed town centre development. 17 The structure plan should not be regarded as defining the final nature 18 or location of specific land uses. Rather, the plan should be viewed 19 as a conceptual framework of transport networks and open spaces, 20 and a distribution of predominant land uses and intensities. It is 21 intended to serve three main purposes:-- 22 (a) to express the overall development intent, concepts and 23 strategies; 24 (b) to provide the broad conceptual basis for assessing the 25 suitability of development proposals in a continuing process; 26 and 27 (c) to provide a reference plan for the ultimate development of the 28 site. 29 While elements of the structure plan are fixed with some certainty 30 by other Parts of this Second Schedule, it purposely has inherent 31 flexibility to accommodate land use variations and development 32 needs which cannot be properly foreseen at this time. 33

 


 

32 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment There is a physical constraint on the ultimate development in that the 1 infrastructure for which this Agreement provides is designed to 2 service an equivalent population of 23,000 persons (more or less) 3 residing or working within Robina Central. The planning for the 4 ultimate development (and for each Area and Precinct) must take 5 this constraint into account. Development which would generate an 6 equivalent population significantly exceeding 23,000 persons is not 7 permitted. 8 Planning Concepts and Intentions--Master Plan 9 16 Plan 2/2/3A, described as the master plan, is the current 10 development interpretation of the structure plan. The master plan is 11 an illustration of one form of final development which gives effect 12 to the structure plan and planning intents contained in this Part. It is 13 recognised that the proposed rail terminus and South Coast Regional 14 Health Authority development adjacent to the subject land depend 15 upon anticipated State Government commitments in respect of 16 which a final decision is not yet made. 17 Intent of the Land Use Areas 18 17 The Core and Frame plan Plan No 2/2/4A divides Robina Central 19 into the following four broad land use Areas:-- 20 -- The Core 21 -- The Inner Frame 22 -- The Southern Frame 23 -- The Northern Frame 24 The planning intent for each of those Areas is as follows:-- 25 17.1 The Core 26 This is the central Area and is intended as the area of 27 highest land use intensity and diversity of 28 retail/commercial floor space, and maximum pedestrian 29 activity. The Core will comprise major regional shopping 30 facilities together with personal and community services, 31 professional offices, restaurants, cultural, civic and 32 recreational facilities, hotel and studio apartments. 33

 


 

33 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment The Core is focused on an ornamental lake (Waterfront 1 Place) and major town centre plaza which together form a 2 celebration place, accessible to the public 24 hours per 3 day, where the community can come together with a 4 sense of pride and belonging to partake of urban activities 5 such as eating, dining, shopping, promenading and 6 cultural events. 7 17.2 The Inner Frame 8 The Area surrounding the Core to the north of the Robina 9 Parkway ridge is intended as an intensive, secondary 10 mixed use area containing offices, business premises, 11 residential apartments and dwellings, hotels, cultural, 12 recreational, entertainment facilities, educational 13 establishments and places of worship in close proximity 14 to allow easy pedestrian connections and convenient 15 access by public transport. 16 17.3 The Southern Frame 17 This Area to the south of the Robina Parkway ridge is 18 intended as a less intensive area for activities requiring 19 easier motor vehicle access such as an automall, 20 showrooms, service trades, service authority facilities, 21 business and office parks as well as for medium density 22 residential development and higher education facilities. 23 The Area forms an important link from the Core and 24 Inner Frame to the Bond University to the south and with 25 its associated Research Park, recreational facilities and 26 high and medium density residential Precincts as well as 27 to the industrial development zones at the Reedy Creek 28 highway interchange and along the Burleigh Connection 29 Road. 30 17.4 The Northern Frame 31 Covering the predominantly low lying land between the 32 Inner Frame and Mudgeeraba Creek, the Northern Frame 33 will, reflect a different character and the generally lower 34 intensity of development to that of other areas. The 35

 


 

34 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment emphasis will be on major public and private recreational 1 and open space areas, with a mixture of land uses 2 integrated mainly around the periphery of this extensively 3 landscaped environment. The current approval allows for 4 public open space uses together with golf course, hotel 5 accommodation and a range of residential development 6 types. 7 Core and Frame Areas - Use and Development Control 8 18 The uses for which land may be developed in each Area and the 9 guidelines for the manner in which development is to be carried out 10 in each Area, despite the provisions of the Town Plan are as 11 follows:-- 12 18.1 the Core--as set out in Part 9; 13 18.2 the Inner Frame and the Southern Frame--as set out in 14 Part 10. 15 18.3 the Northern Frame--as set out in Part 11. 16 Creation of Precincts 17 18A The Core and Frame Areas will each be divided into Precincts 18 accommodating ranges of dominant land uses considered 19 appropriate for those Precincts having regard to the intents for the 20 Area in which the Precincts are created. 21 The Precincts into which each Core and Frame have so far been 22 divided are shown on the Precinct plan Plan 2/2/5. Additional 23 Precincts may be created as more detailed planning of the Core and 24 Frame Areas is advanced. 25 A number of Precincts, including the Rail Interchange, Medical and 26 Gateway West, are presently constrained by existing roads which 27 roads are not included in the relevant Precincts on the Precinct plan. 28 However, as a consequence of the proposed acquisition by 29 Queensland Rail of land for the Robina rail line and transport 30 interchange and Robina's obligation to construct roads giving access 31 to the transport interchange, it is intended that these roads will be 32 closed, included in appropriate zones in conformity with this 33 Agreement and acquired by Robina. These areas of road will then 34

 


 

35 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment form part of the Precincts in which they are located and be subject to 1 the relevant planning intentions and provisions of this Agreement. 2 Intent for Development of Each Precinct 3 18B The intent for development of each Precinct shown on the Precinct 4 plan is as follows:-- 5 18B.1 The Core Precincts 6 The Core area is predominantly covered by the Core retail 7 Precinct, comprising the major retail and mixed uses 8 referred to in Clause 17.1 together with Waterfront Place 9 and a number of peripheral future development sites. It is 10 the dominant Precinct of the Robina Central community 11 structure and will contain the most intensive mixture of 12 land uses. 13 The overall development form will consist of multi-level 14 buildings organised around a structure of outdoor 15 pedestrianised streets stepping up the hillside from 16 Waterfront Place. Major carparking areas, including 17 multi-level structured car parks and on-grade parking, will 18 be strategically placed around the Precinct, with close 19 relationships to the anchor retail facilities and convenient 20 access off the main circuit road. The Core retail Precinct 21 will be characterised by the highest quality architectural 22 and landscape finishes, to create a special identity and 23 pedestrian friendly environment. 24 18B.2 Inner Frame Precincts 25 18B.2.1 HIGH SCHOOL PRECINCT 26 This Precinct located along the proposed 27 Mudgeeraba Connection Road will 28 accommodate the new Robina State High 29 School. 30 18B.2.2 WEST ENTRY PRECINCT 31 West entry Precinct adjacent to the High School 32 is primarily intended for a range of commercial 33 premises accommodated in a grouping of low 34

 


 

36 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment to medium rise buildings, and may be suitable 1 for Government administration offices. Other 2 convenience uses such as a service station, and 3 catering and business premises complementary 4 to, and integrated with, the predominant 5 commercial development are anticipated. It is 6 further anticipated that emergency services 7 authorities will locate in west entry, given that 8 this location allows rapid access for emergency 9 vehicles to Robina, Mudgeeraba and adjacent 10 districts. 11 18B.2.3 MEDICAL PRECINCT 12 The medical Precinct is ideally located south of 13 the rail interchange and east of land owned by 14 the South Coast Regional Health Authority. 15 Priority will be given to the development of a 16 range of specialist medical facilities and medical 17 uses associated with development by that 18 Authority. These uses could also extend into 19 nearby mixed use areas. Buildings will be 20 predominantly low to medium rise and 21 developed in context with development by the 22 Authority and development in the rail 23 interchange Precinct. The landscaping will be 24 designed so as to create development unity 25 across these Precincts. 26 18B.2.4 RAIL INTERCHANGE PRECINCT 27 This Precinct comprises land intended for 28 acquisition by Queensland Rail in conjunction 29 with other adjacent land external to the Robina 30 Central area. It will accommodate the terminus 31 of the new Brisbane to Gold Coast rail line, 32 providing a regional public transport 33 interchange when integrated with the bus 34 network. Associated with the interchange will 35 be a range of convenience shopping, 36

 


 

37 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment commercial premises and offices developed in 1 medium to high rise buildings, including air 2 rights development over the rail interchange. It 3 is further anticipated that the Precinct will 4 accommodate a regional indoor sports and 5 entertainment centre. This centre will be a large 6 scale development providing architectural 7 emphasis as a landmark building. 8 18B.2.5 WEST LAKE, EAST LAKE AND 9 PENINSULA PRECINCTS 10 (WATERWAY PRECINCTS) 11 These Precincts are intended for intensive, 12 mixed use development with an urban character 13 which relates strongly to the Core retail Precinct 14 and to their distinctive waterway landscape 15 settings. The anticipated land uses include 16 offices, business premises, hotel 17 accommodation and entertainment facilities, and 18 residential uses either situated above 19 commercial premises or developed solely as 20 residential buildings. 21 Building development is envisaged as being 22 predominantly low to medium rise but with 23 occasional high rise opportunities at appropriate 24 locations. The desirable urban character of 25 these Precincts will be achieved by designing 26 the diverse forms of buildings and landscaping 27 in a way that they combine to create attractive, 28 pedestrian friendly frontages and spaces. This 29 intensive urban development character will be 30 further enhanced by providing the majority of 31 car parking either in basement or in shared 32 multi-level parking structures. 33 18B.2.6 RIVERWALK PRECINCT 34 Linking south from the lake to the main 35 highway gateway entry, this Precinct is intended 36

 


 

38 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment as an alternative, linear river-like park setting for 1 mixed use development. A range of 2 development forms and uses that enhance the 3 serpentine river setting will be encouraged, 4 including a broad mixture of commercial, 5 residential, tourist and entertainment uses and 6 restaurants, cafes, religious and cultural 7 facilities. Other potential uses will include 8 banking and personal services, limited shopping 9 facilities, recreational uses, together with 10 carparking facilities, outdoor plazas and 11 parkland. 12 Low to medium rise and occasional high rise 13 development will be permitted in this Precinct 14 with buildings establishing strong axial 15 relationships with the river, including the 16 provision of vistas through/from the lower 17 levels of development. Ample open spaces, 18 landscaped areas and walkways will be 19 provided along the pedestrianised river setting 20 creating an important unifying element for the 21 broad mixture of land uses and building types 22 that will be accommodated. 23 18B.2.7 GATEWAY EAST AND GATEWAY 24 WEST PRECINCTS (GATEWAY 25 PRECINCTS) 26 These Precincts flank the main road entry to the 27 Core and will offer prime sites on which major 28 office and business developments and possibly 29 medium to high density residential uses can 30 locate with high accessibility and exposure. 31 Buildings may range from low to high rise, 32 provided variations in the height and scale are 33 visually and functionally appropriate. The 34 incorporation of landmark features with 35 building designs enhanced by attractive 36 landscape treatments will be encouraged given 37

 


 

39 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment the "gateway" importance of these Precincts. 1 18B.2.8 PARKWAY SERVICE PRECINCT 2 Located between the Robina Town Centre Core 3 and the main road entry of Robina Parkway, 4 this Precinct is intended to fulfil a 5 complementary role to the Core retail facilities. 6 Whilst it is anticipated that the Precinct will be 7 predominantly developed for a service station, 8 fast food outlets, restaurants and showrooms, 9 compatible uses including commercial premises 10 and various forms of entertainment, catering 11 and service businesses will also be appropriate. 12 A linear combination of low rise building 13 development reflecting an "urban scale" is 14 planned, although considerable variation is 15 envisaged in the architectural design. Facilities 16 that locate in the Parkway Service Precinct will 17 benefit from the high accessibility and exposure 18 to passing traffic offered by this strategic 19 location. 20 18B.3 Southern Frame Precincts 21 18B.3.1 AUTOMALL PRECINCT 22 This Precinct is located immediately south of 23 the Robina Parkway, offering excellent visibility 24 and accessibility to the arterial road system of 25 Robina Central. It is intended for development 26 for an automall in which car and marine 27 dealerships and associated uses will be grouped 28 together to achieve the convenience of `one 29 stop' shopping. Development is envisaged as 30 low rise buildings with attractive landscape 31 frontages presented as a unified whole and 32 complemented by carefully controlled identity 33 signage. 34

 


 

40 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment 18B.3.2 MIXED USE PRECINCTS A, B AND C 1 These Precincts partly surround the automall 2 and offer similar high level visibility and 3 accessibility from the road system. They are 4 intended for mixed use developments, including 5 offices, commercial premises, service trades, 6 showrooms, `specialised home improvement' 7 uses, a service station and limited retail uses 8 such as shops and takeaway food outlets. 9 Precinct `B' in particular is primarily intended 10 for car care uses and service trades associated 11 with automobiles, trailered boats and caravans. 12 Development is envisaged as being 13 predominantly low rise with attractive 14 landscaped and pedestrianised frontages. 15 18B.3.3 SOUTH HILL PRECINCT 16 This linear Precinct runs south along the Pacific 17 Highway frontage from the Gateway East 18 Precinct. Development will be physically 19 separated from the highway by a densely 20 planted landscape and pathway corridor. The 21 Precinct is intended for predominantly low to 22 medium rise office buildings integrated with 23 other mixed uses, including service industries 24 and showrooms. Development should reflect a 25 strong integration between the architectural 26 design and landscape treatment to create 27 impressive `office park' environments. 28 18B.3.4 SOUTHERN VALE PRECINCT 29 Southern Vale is bounded by the arterial roads 30 of Reedy Creek Link Road and the Christine 31 Avenue extension, and located adjacent to the 32 proposed southern sports fields. Much of the 33 Precinct will be suitable for a range of quality 34 housing types and densities, office showroom 35 and business park development, mixed use 36

 


 

41 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment developments or combinations of these land 1 uses. Other uses that complement such 2 development, including convenience shopping, 3 child care centres and community facilities may 4 also be accommodated. Generally, low to 5 medium rise buildings are envisaged across the 6 Precinct. 7 This Precinct has not been planned for 8 immediate development and the particular mix 9 of final land uses will largely depend upon 10 market variables. Furthermore, it is likely that 11 this expansive Precinct will be divided into a 12 number of more manageable and land use 13 specific Precincts at a later stage. 14 18B.4 Northern Frame Precincts 15 18B.4.1 PREAMBLE 16 The Precincts of the Northern Frame are 17 controlled by the development code contained in 18 Part 11 which is based upon an existing 19 rezoning approval. As detailed planning takes 20 place it may become desirable to consider other 21 forms and intensities of development. 22 18B.4.2 PARK HILL AND WATERVIEW 23 PRECINCTS (RESIDENTIAL 24 PRECINCTS) 25 Consisting of four separate land parcels these 26 Precincts offer prime park and waterfront sites 27 committed for residential uses. Drawing on 28 performance criteria for design evolved from 29 first principles for each situation, a range of low 30 rise, quality housing types will be constructed 31 on various lot sizes. This will include terrace 32 houses developed in groups of two, three or 33 four. The Precincts will be extensively 34 landscaped to enhance their attractive open 35

 


 

42 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment space settings. 1 18B.4.3 CHELTENHAM DRIVE 2 RECREATION PRECINCT 3 This Precinct is primarily intended for the 4 development of recreational open space in some 5 form. It will be suitable for golf course 6 development or various informal and casual 7 entertainment and recreational pursuits, either 8 for private or public use. Given its `gateway' 9 importance at the east entry to Robina Central, 10 the Precinct will have a strong landscape design 11 emphasis. 12 18B.4.4 NORTHERN PLAIN PRECINCT 13 This Precinct comprises low lying land 14 extending south from Mudgeeraba Creek. It is 15 intended for development of an 18 hole 16 championship golf course and associated 17 clubhouse facilities. The golf course will 18 incorporate attractive lake features and extensive 19 landscaping. The clubhouse complex will be 20 low rise and offer the full range of services and 21 facilities associated with the operation and 22 management of the course. 23 18B.4.5 NORTH VIEW PRECINCT 24 It is anticipated that this Precinct will be 25 primarily developed for a range of choices in 26 low to medium density residential development 27 and may include resort hotel and/or other forms 28 of tourist accommodation and associated 29 facilities. Limited forms of complementary 30 uses such as child care centres, convenience 31 shops and recreation facilities will also be 32 appropriate. Generally low to medium rise 33 development with limited locations for high rise 34 buildings will capitalise on the adjacent golf 35

Determination of the area of 5 each Development Section will be made during the final stage of the 6 planning, development and marketing processes, at or about the 7 same time the subdivision process commences and just prior to 8 physical development of that land. 9 Until land is included in a Development Section the only plans of 10 subdivision in respect of that land which Council must seal and 11 release are those creating management lots or lots for transfer to 12 Council or the Crown. 13 At the point in time at which a Development Section is determined 14 by Robina, it will with the approval of Council determine the final 15 planning principles, land uses and development requirements and 16 guidelines for that section. Those principles, uses, requirements and 17 guidelines will be contained in a Plan of Development for the 18 Development Section to be prepared and lodged by Robina with 19 Council for approval. 20 In addition, the Plan of Development for each Development Section 21 will, where appropriate, address issues such as traffic circulation and 22 parking, architectural form, streetscaping, landscaping of private and 23 public open spaces, signage (both private and public) and urban 24 design. 25 Despite the provisions of a Plan of Development for a Development 26 Section, it is intended that an application for town planning consent 27 will continue to be required in respect of a permissible use. 28 Before an allotment can be developed in a Development Section 29 other than for the uses set out in the following Table, an application 30 for final development approval in respect of the final form of 31 development for that allotment must be made whether the 32 development is permitted subject to conditions or is a permissible 33 use which has been approved by Council. 34

46 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment 18E.5 In the event that Council gives notice to Robina that a Plan 1 of Development for a Development Section is refused, it 2 must specify those parts of the Plan of Development 3 which are not acceptable and give reasons. 4 Variation of Plan of Development by Robina before Transfer of Land 5 18F A Plan of Development may be varied by Robina before it transfers 6 any developable part of the land in that Development Section and 7 before development in that Development Section has been 8 completed. Upon Robina varying a Plan of Development it must 9 lodge the varied Plan of Development with Council which replaces 10 the previously approved Plan of Development. 11 Variation of Plan of Development after Robina Transfers Land 12 18G After Robina transfers a developable part of the land in a 13 Development Section, the Plan of Development may be varied:-- 14 18G.1 in the case of a minor variation, in respect of an allotment 15 in that Development Section, by the owner of that 16 allotment, lodging with Council the minor variation with 17 the consent in writing of Robina (if it is not the 18 Applicant); 19 18G.2 in the case of any other variation in respect of an allotment 20 in that Development Section, by the owner of that 21 allotment, in accordance with the provisions of this 22 Agreement applicable to applications for consent in 23 respect of a permissible use. 24 In clause 18F and this clause "developable part of the land" in a 25 Development Section means land that is able to be used or 26 developed for a lawful purpose and does not include land which is 27 required to be dedicated for road or transferred for a local 28 government purpose as a requirement or a condition of an approval. 29 Variation - Application of Provisions 30 18H The provisions of Clause 18E apply to a variation of a Plan of 31 Development. 32

 


 

47 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment Minor Variation of a Plan of Development 1 18I A variation of a Plan of Development is a minor variation if:-- 2 18I.1 it does not vary the proposed intent of development for 3 the Development Section; 4 18I.2 it does not vary the permitted or permissible development 5 for that Development Section; 6 18I.3 it does not increase the gross floor area of buildings or 7 proposed buildings by more than 5%; 8 18I.4 it does not increase the site coverage of buildings or 9 proposed buildings by more than 10%; 10 18I.5 it does not increase the number of storeys above ground 11 level in buildings or proposed buildings or part of those 12 buildings; 13 18I.6 in Development Sections for residential purposes, it does 14 not increase the unit yield for housing development or 15 proposed housing development by more than 5%; 16 18I.7 it does not substantially alter the locations of proposed 17 ingress or egress from sites in the Development Section; 18 18I.8 it does not substantially decrease the provision and 19 location of proposed carparking for each site in the 20 Development Section; 21 18I.9 alterations to design and siting requirements pertaining to 22 architecture, landscape, streetscape, signage and design 23 elements (other than those requirements referred to above) 24 do not adversely affect the amenity or the likely future 25 amenity of the locality. 26 Master Development Plan 27 18J Robina must, from time to time, lodge with Council a master 28 development plan. 29 The plan must show to the extent possible the consolidation of 30 information shown on each Precinct plan, Plan of Development, 31 structure plan and open space and pathway network plan. 32

 


 

48 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment Robina must deliver to Council an updated master development plan 1 within fourteen (14) days of Council approving a Precinct plan, Plan 2 of Development, structure plan or open space and pathway network 3 plan. 4 Road and Public Transport Network 5 18K The structure plan shows the major transportation system proposed 6 for Robina Central. This system incorporates a rail corridor and a 7 bus-rail interchange at the terminus of the Brisbane to Gold Coast 8 rail link. It also includes the major road network which is 9 appropriate to meet the regional access needs and satisfies Robina's 10 obligations for roadworks as detailed in Part 3. 11 Robina Central incorporates a clear, formal structure of major roads 12 which will ensure convenient access and circulation of traffic. The 13 major roads in this structure are Robina Parkway and proposed road 14 D-I which follow a ridge that circles three sides of the Core. Major 15 connection roads extend out from the Core to link externally at three 16 interchanges along the Pacific Highway. Clear, axial circulation 17 routes shaped by the dominant natural characteristics of the land lead 18 from the Robina Parkway into each part of the Core. A network of 19 major and minor collector roads then extend throughout the 20 combined site to service all Precincts of the Inner Frame, Southern 21 Frame and Northern Frame. 22 The rail line and terminus has been located in conjunction with 23 Queensland Rail on the western side of the Core. Furthermore a 24 corridor for the future southern rail extension from Robina to 25 Coolangatta has been planned, with the final location to be 26 determined at a later time. 27 As the proposed rail line is likely to be essentially inter-urban rather 28 than intra-urban, it will function primarily as a commuter service 29 within the Brisbane to Gold Coast corridor. Its location therefore 30 favours office employment, and particularly government offices, to 31 encourage maximum benefit to Robina Central and maximum rail 32 usage. 33 Shoppers and workers from the more local Gold Coast region will 34 be served by a public transit distribution network, which it is 35

 


 

49 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment anticipated will be initially provided by bus, but may later include 1 other forms of public transport, focused on the rail terminus. The 2 network will be planned to meet broad community needs, including 3 distribution to other employment, educational, tourist and 4 entertainment nodes, as well as internal movements within Robina 5 Central. Links from the interchange and the Core through the 6 Southern Frame to the Bond University and environs are also 7 envisaged. 8 Open Space Network 9 18L Together with the road and public transport network, the major open 10 space and pathway system shown on Plan 2/6/1A provides a basic 11 framework to shape and link the total development. 12 The proposed open space system provides for two major 13 north-south linear park connections linking from the extensive flood 14 plain open space in the north to the University lake open space 15 system in the south - one linking along Robina Central lakeshore, 16 riverwalk and highway buffer and the other along the eastern power 17 easement. A further spine along the Mudgeeraba Creek has 18 potential to link through adjoining properties north to Carrara and 19 south-west to Mudgeeraba and Bonogin. 20 A series of sports fields are located along these spines and, together 21 with the proposed golf and water based recreational facilities, they 22 provide a strong recreational and leisure lifestyle orientation for 23 Robina Central for both resident and worker populations. 24 A network of major pedestrian/bicycle paths is proposed along these 25 open space corridors and major roads as an important part of the 26 transportation system linking Precincts within Robina Central to 27 each other and to the surrounding districts. 28 Open Space Network Plan 29 18M Major open space provisions highlighted on the open space and 30 pathway network plan, Plan 2/6/1A, incorporate the land that 31 satisfies Robina's obligations for parks, landscaping and pathway 32 contributions, and will be provided and developed in accordance 33 with Part 6. 34

 


 

50 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment Residential Uses 1 18N The concept of locating medium and high density residential uses 2 immediately adjoining focal points for commercial and community 3 activity has long been a principle of contemporary town planning 4 and is seen as an important objective for Robina Central. 5 The advantage of such a concept is best summarised as follows:-- 6 18N.1 Increased choice of residential stock 7 An increased variety of residential accommodation can be 8 provided to better meet the particular lifestyle needs of 9 different population segments. For example, there are 10 those with children in small households, the young, the 11 middle-aged, the elderly and people in a variety of 12 economic situations, from service industry workers or 13 shop assistants to professionals and executives who wish 14 to live close to work and facilities in a more urban 15 environment. 16 18N.2 A More Active and Diverse Environment 17 The addition of a residential population increases the 18 "people" activity, particularly after normal working hours 19 when offices are empty. This has a civilising influence 20 and helps create a safer and more diverse and urbane 21 environment to the benefit of all users of Robina Central. 22 18N.3 Extended Use of Facilities 23 An immediate residential population allows for the 24 extended use and more economical provision of all types 25 of facilities. 26 18N.4 Contribution to Urban Consolidation 27 The provision of housing at higher densities in Robina 28 Central allows for a more efficient and balanced use of 29 regional infrastructure, eg. roads, public transport, utility 30 and community services, as well as landscape 31 enhancement, and contributes to overall regional urban 32 consolidation. Population successfully accommodated in 33 Robina Central reduces the need for residential land at the 34

 


 

51 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment edge of urban areas. 1 For these advantages to be realised, a more flexible approach is 2 required towards planning and design than currently applies to 3 development in multi-unit residential zonings which have been 4 developed for suburban situations where segregation of residential 5 uses and compatibility with surrounding lower density development 6 have been traditionally considered desirable. 7 As a result, the combined site is designated for a target residential 8 population of 5,000 persons to be accommodated in development 9 designed under controls based on performance criteria developed 10 from first principles for each situation. 11 Landscape/Townscape Design and Siting Controls 12 18O It is recognised that a major objective will be to create an attractive 13 and environmentally sensitive development characterised by a 14 distinctive landscape and townscape and high levels of architectural 15 and landscape design. To achieve this, appropriate design and siting 16 controls will be determined for the various Precincts. 17 In general terms, the townscape character of the area north of the 18 Robina Parkway ridge is envisaged as more compact and urban in 19 character with generally higher rise buildings, while the southern 20 area will be lower rise and more office-park in character. 21 A landscaped buffer zone is proposed along most of the Pacific 22 Highway frontage to ensure a consistent landscape image is 23 maintained along this important edge. View corridors are proposed 24 at selected locations to allow motorists an awareness of the 25 proximity and scale of Robina Central. Plan 2/2/6 is a conceptual 26 plan of the buffer zone and view corridors. 27 Robina Central Plan Register 28 18P Council must maintain a separate register to be known as Robina 29 Central Plan Register in which it keeps all plans, maps and Plans of 30 Development approved by it under this Agreement which register is 31 to be available to and open for inspection by the public at all 32 reasonable times. Upon approval of a plan, map or Plan of 33 Development the Council must immediately place it in the register. 34 The Council may rely on the plans in the register for the purpose of 35

Off-site parking spaces need not 30 necessarily be on land owned by the person undertaking 31 the development to which they relate. 32

 


 

73 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment "on-site parking spaces" means parking spaces provided 1 within the curtilage of the development site to which they 2 relate. 3 153.6.6 When Robina delivers a Plan of Development to Council 4 for approval, Robina must include in that Plan of 5 Development an assessment described in clause 153.6.5 6 in relation to car parking needs for the Development 7 Section, which assessment must be considered by the 8 Council in determining the acceptability of the car parking 9 provisions contained in the Plan of Development. 10 If application is made for final development approval in 11 respect of a use or development substantially different (in 12 nature or scale) from what is contemplated by the Plan of 13 Development and by the assessment, the Council may 14 refuse to deal with that application until an amended 15 assessment is furnished by the applicant which takes the 16 particular site and the relevant development into account. 17 If an amended assessment is furnished the Council may 18 vary the car parking provisions contained in the Plan of 19 Development in respect of that development. 20 153.6.7 Developments may satisfy parking space requirements by 21 the provision of on-site or off-site parking spaces or by a 22 combination of both. 23 If the applicant for final development approval indicates in 24 the application that some parking space requirements are 25 to be provided by off-site parking spaces the Council may 26 impose as a condition of granting final development 27 approval that the applicant must furnish a certificate from 28 the owner of any land that the required number of parking 29 spaces within the curtilage of that land as identified in that 30 certificate:-- 31 153.6.7.1 are provided or will be provided on that land; 32 and 33 153.6.7.2 are available or will be available to the 34 applicant and persons having resort to the 35

 


 

74 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment applicant's proposed development. 1 153.6.8 Before accepting a certificate, the Council must satisfy 2 itself that:-- 3 153.6.8.1 the parking spaces and the parking 4 arrangements the subject of the certificate, are 5 adequate; and 6 153.6.8.2 the relevant land is capable of providing the 7 car parking spaces the subject of the 8 certificate having regard to existing 9 certificates and other car parking required to 10 be provided on that land; and 11 153.6.8.3 if the parking spaces have not been physically 12 constructed, the Council must also satisfy 13 itself that construction of these parking 14 spaces will be completed not later than 15 completion of construction of the 16 development to which it relates and will be 17 available for use as represented in the 18 certificate. 19 153.6.9 A person must not use or occupy, and the Council must 20 not issue a certificate of classification in respect of, a 21 building forming part of a development in respect of 22 which off-site parking spaces are to be provided unless it 23 has a certificate for the required number of off-site 24 parking spaces and the spaces (or equivalent spaces) are 25 constructed and available for use. 26 153.6.10 Off-site parking spaces provided in respect of a 27 development must continue to be available for use while 28 that development remains in existence and no 29 redevelopment or other use of land containing those 30 parking spaces in respect of which a certificate has been 31 accepted by Council may be undertaken unless off-site 32 parking spaces, either on that or other land which are 33 comparable in character and convenience to those lost, are 34 provided to replace those lost. 35

 


 

75 Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Amendment 153.6.11 Nothing in this Agreement prevents Robina or other 1 persons from providing off-site parking for monetary 2 reward but, where a certificate is furnished which refers to 3 spaces provided or to be provided in a commercially 4 operated car park, the Council must take into account the 5 commercial terms and arrangements applying to that 6 parking in determining whether or not it is satisfied of the 7 matters referred to in clause 153.6.8. 8 153.6.12 The Council, in assessing applications for final 9 development approval to use land as a car park, may take 10 into consideration the desirability of concentrating vehicle 11 parking in separate and distinct places and of assisting to 12 create a multiplicity of owners of vehicle parking stations 13 so as to offer a choice for vehicle park users and avoid 14 undue concentration of ownership and control of car parks 15 in Robina Central. 16 Relaxation Power 17 154 The Council may with the consent of Robina dispense with or 18 modify any of the requirements or guidelines in clause 153 if it 19 considers a dispensation or modification is justified, having regard 20 to: 21 154.1 the existing development in the area; 22 154.2 the existing and likely future amenity of the area; 23 154.3 the nature of the proposed use; 24 154.4 the provisions of the strategic plan; 25 154.5 the provisions of the relevant Plan of Development; 26 154.6 ameliorating design, siting, landscaping or construction 27 factors of the proposed development. 28
