City Plan code template

This code template supports the preparation of a development application against either the acceptable outcome(s) or performance outcome(s) contained in the code. Development assessment rules are outlined in Section 5.3.3 of the City Plan.
Please note:
For assessment against the overall outcomes, refer to the appropriate code.
Note: The whole of the planning scheme is identified as the assessment benchmark for impact assessable development. This specifically includes assessment of impact assessable development against this strategic framework. The strategic framework may contain intentions and requirements that are additional to and not necessarily repeated in zone, overlay or other codes. In particular, the performance outcomes in zone codes address only a limited number of aspects, predominantly related to built form. Development that is impact assessable must also be assessed against the overall outcomes of the code as well as the strategic framework.

9.3.20Surf life saving club code

9.3.20.1Application

This code applies to assessing material change of use for development for a surf life saving club where indicated within Part 5 Tables of assessment.

When using this code, reference should be made to Section 5.3.2 and, where applicable, Section 5.3.3 in Part 5.

9.3.20.2Purpose

(1)The purpose of the Surf life saving club code is to regulate the development of surf life saving club facilities within the foreshore areas of the city.

(2)The purpose of the code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:

(a)Surf life saving clubs are designed to protect the open space character of the foreshore and its coastal environment and prevent encroachment of development into the frontal dune, beach and recreation areas.

(b)Surf life saving clubs are designed to protect the public domain and the amenity of adjoining sensitive land uses.

(c)Surf life saving clubs provide a range of public facilities to meet the needs of members, patrons and beach users.

9.3.20.3Specific benchmarks for assessment

Table 9.3.20-1: Surf life saving club code – for assessable development

Performance outcomes / Acceptable outcomes / Does the proposal meet the acceptable outcome?
If not, justify how the proposal meets either the performance outcome or overall outcome / Internal use
Building design and appearance
po1
The building design:
(a)contributes to the beach character of the local area;
(b)is attractive and instantly recognisable to residents and tourists; and
(c)is orientated to facilitate casual surveillance by addressing streets and public space. / AO1.1
The materials, colours and finishes used are non-reflective and complement the sea and foreshore environment.

po2
Building design responds to the public domain in a positive manner by incorporating design treatments that reduce the bulk of the building and screen unsightly service and storage areas. / AO2.1
Gas bottles, storage and service areas are appropriately screened from public view.
AO2.2
