7.2.5.4.2Purpose
(1)The purpose of the Everton Park neighbourhood plan code is to provide finer grained planning at a local level for the Everton Park neighbourhood plan area.
(2)The purpose of the Everton Park neighbourhood plan code will be achieved through overall outcomes including overall outcomes for each precinct of the neighbourhood plan area.
(3)The overall outcomes for the Everton Park neighbourhood plan area are:
(a)The EvertonPark centre located on South Pine Road and Stafford Road retains and enhances its traditional strip shopping character. It provides a range of centre services to meet the needs of existing and future residents of the EvertonPark district, including any redevelopment south of the EvertonPark centre.
(b)A variety of housing types and densities are incorporated in and around the EvertonPark centre, catering for community needs, including emerging young adult and older populations.
(c)Walking and cycling routes are safe and provide connectivity throughout the area, integrating with the Kedron Brook shared use pathway which forms an integral part of this network.
(d)Development is of a height, scale and form which is consistent with the amenity and character, community expectations and infrastructure assumptions intended for the relevant precinct, sub-precinct or site and is only developed at a greater height, scale and form where there is both a community need and an economic need for the development.
(4)Everton Park centre precinct (Everton Park neighbourhood plan/NPP-001) overall outcomes are:
(a)This precinct accommodates a range of activities expected in a suburban centre.
(b)The built form and character of the precinct as a traditional suburban shopping strip is maintained.
(c)Development encourages pedestrian activity and movement with active street frontages and links across Stafford Road and South Pine Road in accordance withFigure a.
(d)Development in the Everton Park centre sub-precinct (Everton Park neighbourhood plan/NPP-001a):
(i)provides for a range of centre activities with a strong focus on pedestrian movement along the Stafford Road frontage;
(ii)provides for pedestrian links and relocation of vehicle access on Cutbush Road to enhance connectivity and safety through the centre.
(5)Central residential precinct (EvertonParkneighbourhood plan/NPP-002) overall outcomes are:
(a)This ex-industrial land is redeveloped for residential, centre and recreation uses outside the Queensland Government’s proposed north western transportation corridor.
(b)Redevelopment is in accordance with Figure a,which provides for orderly development and appropriate visual and physical links between the Central residential a sub-precinct(EvertonPark neighbourhood plan/NPP-002a)and Central residential b sub-precinct(EvertonPark neighbourhood plan/NPP-002b).
(c)The Queensland Government's proposed north western transportation corridor is retained and protected pending investigation of future transport, and development adjoining this corridor includes adequate noise and landscape buffering
Note—The proposed north-western transportation corridor is identified in theSouth East Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Program 2009-2031.
(d)The Central residential a sub-precinct (Everton Park neighbourhood plan/NPP-002a) contains the former Woolworths distribution centre, which is identified for redevelopment for high density residential uses due to its close proximity to the Everton Park centre and public transport facilities. Development in this sub-precinct:
(i)does not support centre activities such as supermarkets, restaurants, department stores and grouped small-scale tenancies;
(ii)provides a plaza, accessible as a public space by the community any time of the day.
(e)The Central residential bsub-precinct (Everton Park neighbourhood plan/NPP-002b) is currently used for large format retail specialising in homewares or home improvement retailing requiring larger tenancies and generating less traffic than convenience shops or shopping centres. Development in thissub-precinct:
(i)ensures that redevelopment proposals for mixed use comprise of non-residential pedestrian oriented activating development at ground level and in the ground storey with residential development in storeys above ground storey, and integrates with theCentral residential a sub-precinct;
(ii)does not support centre activities such as supermarkets, restaurants, department stores and grouped small-scale tenancies;
(iii)for shops with a gross floor area greater than 1,500m2isconsistent with the outcomes for the sub-precinct;
(iv)accommodates reshaped existing gross floor area of large format retail uses where the large format retail is integrated with the centre form according to the Centre or mixed-use code.
(6)FallonPark precinct (EvertonParkneighbourhood plan/NPP-003) overall outcomes are:
(a)This precinct covers Fallon Park and the Everton Park library and is intended to develop in a coordinated manner into a community node that provides a range of community and recreational services and facilities to the local community.
(b)The library and the ‘Fallon Cottage’ workers cottage are preserved and used for community purposes.
7.2.5.4.3 Performance outcomes and acceptable outcomes
Table 7.2.5.4.3.A—Performance outcomes and acceptable outcomes
Performance outcomes / Acceptable outcomesGeneral
PO1
Development is of a height, scale and form that achieves the intended outcome for the precinct, improves the amenity of the neighbourhood plan area, contributes to a cohesive streetscape and built form character and is:
(a)consistent with the anticipated density and assumed infrastructure demand;
(b)aligned with community expectations about the number of storeys to be built;
(c)proportionate to and commensurate with the utility of the site area and frontage width;
(d)designed to avoid a significant and undue adverse amenity impact to adjoining development;
(e)sited to enable existing and future buildings to be wellseparated from each other and to avoid affecting the potential development of an adjoining site.
Note—Development that exceeds the intended number of storeys or building height can place disproportionate pressure on the transport network, public space or community facilities in particular.
Note—Development that is over-scaled for its site can result in an undesirable dominance of vehicle access, parking and manoeuvring areas that significantly reduce streetscape character and amenity. / AO1
Development complies with the number of storeys and building height in Table7.2.5.4.3.B.
Note—Neighbourhood plans will mostly specify a maximum number of storeys where zone outcomes have been varied in relation to building height. Some neighbourhood plans may also specify height in metres. Development must comply with both parameters where maximum number of storeys and height in metres are specified.
