Good morning Mr Edwards

 

Please find the following information in regard to your enquiry from our Town Planning section:

 

Reference is made to CR 238205 - (document number #44160822) concerning the potential subdivision of 174 Mt Nathan Road, Nerang (Lot 1 RP94544).

 

The subject site is contained within the Rural Landscape and Rural Protection Area (RLRPA) of the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031. Pursuant with Part F - State Planning Regulatory Provisions - Division 3: Subdivision, Table 3A, Column 1 - Subdivision compliant with Division 3.1 - point (2) the subdivision results in lot of 100 hectares or greater. Subject to Table 3A, Column 2 - Subdivision which may not occur: Development not identified in Column 1.

 

As such, a proposal to subdivide lots contained within the Rural Landscape and Rural Protection Area (RLRPA) to any size less than 100 hectares in area is not identified in Column 1 and is therefore considered to be prohibited development. As the subject site is only slightly larger than 9 hectares the further subdivision of the site is precluded by the requirements of the SEQ Regional Plan.

 

The RLRPA protects land from inappropriate development, particularly urban or rural residential development. The SEQ Regional Plan is the main instrument that protects land nominated within the RLRPA and overrides the requirements of any Local Authority Planning Scheme. As such, the requirements of the Gold Coast Planning Scheme 2003 relating to subdivision are not applicable to the subject site.

 

The SEQ Regional Plan was implemented in July 2009, as such any development proposal after this date would be subject to the requirements of the Plan as outlined above.

 

With reference to the smaller lots located to the east of the subject site, the estate referred to as Mt Nathan Park Estate was established via a Rezoning approval (560/20/2928) and subsequent subdivision approval (555/12/2356) approved by Council in July 1999. As such, the estate was already in existence at the time the SEQ Regional Plan was implemented. The estate consists of Park Residential (acreage) style allotments for the purpose of low density residential living with a minimum lot size of 4000sqm provided that the overall yield of the subdivision does not exceed 8000sqm.

 

Therefore whilst the subject site and the adjoining properties to the east are contained within the Park Living Domain of the Gold Coast Planning Scheme 2003, the implementation of the SEQ Regional Plan in 2009 has restricted the further subdivision of the subject site.

 

Currently the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning are reviewing the SEQ Regional Plan. The Queensland Government will be seeking the community’s comment on the draft regional plan when it is released for public consultation in late 2014. The Department can be contacted via the following:

 

Phone: 13QGOV (137468) or 3227 8548

Fax: 3224 4683
