11.3 COMMUNITY GRANTS ROUND 2 2018/19
File No Community Grants
Author Director Community and Client Services
Purpose
The Community Grants Committee assessed applications on 19 February 2019 for the second
round of grants in the 2018/19 financial year. This report contains details of applications
received and the Committee’s recommendations for funding.
Related Parties
As per Community Grants Applicants' list attached.
Background/Discussion
32 applications, requesting a total of $181,302.06 were received by 1 February 2019, the
closing date for this round of the grants program. Members of the grants committee
individually assessed applications prior to the meeting. Assessment panel members declared
the following conflicts of interest:
• Cr Fran Mann - Slade Point Neighbourhood Watch - Member of the Group
• Cr Karen May - Sarina Landcare Catchment Management - Member of the Group
Assessments are done electronically through SmartyGrants and once a conflict of interest is
declared, assessment on that application cannot be proceeded with and the above mentioned did
not participate in discussions around those applications.
At the assessment meeting, members shared further information, which was available,
applications were prioritised and funding levels determined. (Please see attachment for details
of applications.)
General enquiries were undertaken to ensure that applicants were not requesting funding for a
service/project/event which was already available to the community as a whole. Further
research into specific groups, content of applications and acquittals of previous grants was
undertaken to provide additional information requested by members of the Grants Committee.
Consultation and Communication
The Grants Assessment Committee for this round consisted of: Councillors Fran Mann, Karen
May, Laurence Bonaventura, and Ross Gee, along with Director Community and Client
Services and Manager Finance.
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 13 MARCH 2019
MIN/13.03.2019 FOLIO 61221
Resource Implications
The budget available for the 2018/19 grants program is $260,000.00 excluding GST. The
budget for Round 2 was increased as the Mackay Swimming Academy returned funds from
their Round 1 application.
Committed Funds
(Ex GST)
Balance Available
Total Community Grants Budget 18/19 $260,000.00
Committee Recommendations from Round 1 $77,836.14
Committee Recommendations from Round 2 $93,853.51
Committee Recommendations from Round 3
Balance Remaining $88,310.35
Risk Management Implications
There is a minimal risk for Council in the allocation of funds from the community grants
budget to the approved organisations. The risk is mitigated by the required acquittal process,
only incorporated bodies can apply, and the provision of applicants' financial statements. This
level of mitigation is in keeping with the grant amounts involved. Should any of the successful
applicant organisations fail to appropriately acquit the approved funds, they will be ineligible to
receive future funding.
Conclusion
The request for financial assistance from not-for-profit community organisations continues to
far exceed the funds available through Council’s Community Grants program. As a result this
round, like many others, continues to be competitive and challenging for the grants assessment
committee.

11.4 NEW COMMUNITY LEASING POLICY AND RATING SYSTEM
File No Policy
Author Manager Property Services
Purpose
To present the Community Organisations Leasing Policy strategy for adoption, the policy
provides a consistent process for the granting, renewal and management of Council’s freehold
and trustee land tenure for not-for-profit community organisation including, but not limited to: -
• policy direction;
• whole of Council approach and support to tenure management;
• client service and consultation;
• sustainability and awareness; and
• management and compliance.
Related Parties
• Community not-for-profit Organisations that hold a lease with Council.
• Mackay Regional Council
Background/Discussion
The review of Council's not-for-profit community leases by Property Services confirmed that a
varied range of tenure agreements were in existence, conditions being dependent on the date of
creation and Council direction at the time of preparation.
Requests by not-for-profit community groups are received by Council through various
programs, Councillors or the Mayor and subsequently directed to either Property Services or
Community Lifestyle for investigation. The request is reviewed to determine the financial
capacity of the community group to establish group and be sustainable and whether there is a
community benefit generated from the proposal.
Current lease documents include the Lessee being responsible for the following:
• lease rental of $50.00 + GST per annum
• all maintenance/repairs within the lease area
• all rates and charges (rebates are available)
• tenure term is for ten years
The exemption to the above are the community groups utilising the Brewers Park Complex.
These Clubs are on Sarina Shire Licence agreements, wherein they do not pay rates. It is
anticipated that following the adoption of the new policy, the Clubs will be placed on new lease
agreements.
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 13 MARCH 2019
MIN/13.03.2019 FOLIO 61224
It was apparent to Council Officers that the introduction of a Policy and Tenure Process was
required to streamline all new lease enquiries as well as lease renewals. The introduction of the
two new documents will also satisfy internal audit requirements.
Council was briefed on this matter on 23rd January, with the outcome being that the draft new
policies be brought to Council for consideration.
The new policy will include the following changes:
• The introduction of a new rating category of a 75% rate remission of total rates, charges
and levies (excluding water consumption charges) to Not for Profit organisations that
hold a current lease with Mackay Regional Council and has a limited ability to generate
income (income up to $20,000.00). Capacity to earn this amount is not inclusive of
grants.
• New tenure rental - this is to be based on income generated through the ability to have a
liquor licence and/or gaming licence

Manager Property Services, Supervisor Land Operations - Property Services, Lease and Land
Officer - Property Services, Community Lifestyle, Legal Counsel and the Senior Leadership
Performance Team.
Future consultation will include Councils community organisation tenants.

organisations that have a lease and earn up to $20,000. This is estimated at approx. $15,000.00.

Rental income from not-for-profit organisations for the 2017/18 financial year was estimated at
$2,150.00, under the new system, it is anticipated that this amount should not vary significantly
from this figure.
Risk Management Implications
Approved policy and process will provide a consistent approach to implementation and
management of tenure including: -
• Facility management
• Quality of facilities
• Sustainability of organisations
• Appropriate and best utilisation of Council controlled land to meet the future region's
needs.
• Consistent level of service across the region.
Conclusion
The implementation of the Policy and Tenure Process will provide a consistent process for the
granting, renewal and management of Council’s freehold and trustee land tenure for not-for-
profit community organisations.
Officer's Recommendation
THAT Council adopt the new Community Organisations Leasing Policy which will be
enacted with a change to the Rating Remissions for Non-Profit Community Organisations

regional approach. This section of drain is a trial to assess future ongoing maintenance and
when the project extends further towards Bakers Creek and future developments of the drain
and the future regional wetlands plan for the bottom of the catchment area.
Cr Bonaventura queried if the reduction of ongoing maintenance costs would take a few years
before it is achieved.
The DECI advised it is a long-term view in relation ongoing maintenance costs.
Cr May commented that most of the plants used in vegetating this drain are being supplied by
Council's nursery.
Cr Camm queried the Northern Beaches Community Hub design contract awarded in February
2019 and the scope of this contract when Councillors have yet to be briefed on this project.
The CEO advised the contract was awarded was in relation to land tenure assessment as a result
of the briefing held with Councillors in late 2018.

better understand stormwater and flood patterns in Ooralea, South Mackay and Paget that drain to
Bakers Creek. AECOM was engaged in November 2017 to complete the the Study.
The Study identified existing flood levels and risks and considers options for structural and non-
structural mitigation measures of these areas. Design flood levels are established and intended to
be incorporated into the Mackay Region Planning Scheme 2017 flood hazard overlay mapping,
with mitigation options considered under the Flood and Stormwater Management Strategy project
prioritisation framework.
This report identifies the outcomes of the investigation for consideration by Council and
recommends that design flood levels are incorporated into the Mackay Region Planning Scheme
2017. The report does not recommend mitigation works identified. Options identified will be
considered at a regional scale using the project prioritisation framework and individual projects
subject to standard business case development processes.
The study area is shown in Figure 1 and includes residential areas east of the Bruce Highway and
north of Boundary Road as well as the entire industrial precinct of Paget across the South East
portion of the study area. The study covers an area of approximately 165 km2 and fills a gap in
understanding of local flooding and drainage behaviour south of the Shellgrit Creek Catchment
Drainage Study (Cardno 2014) and east of the Bakers One Catchment Stormwater Trunk Drainage
Study (WRM 2015).
Hydrological and hydraulic modelling was completed having consideration for the industry
standard guideline, Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) 2016. The physical area was
represented using a combination of aerial LiDAR collected in 2015, 2017 aerial photography and
where critical, additional ground survey. Approximately 80 km of pipes and culverts and more
than 2000 pits and manholes with details derived from Council’s assetic database were included in
the model to represent drainage infrastructure.

Figure 1Map of study area showing general topography and major drainage paths.
The February 2008 and March 2018 (TC Debbie) events were used for calibration. Rainfall
records from BoM gauges within and near the study area were applied to the model. Over 20
recorded flood levels for the 2008 event and 7 recorded levels for the 2018 event were compared
to modelled peak flood levels. Calibration confirmed that the model developed was suitable for
representing flood and drainage patterns within the study area.
Design rainfall events for the following Annual Exceedance Probabilities (AEPs) were simulated
to determine existing flood and stormwater hazards;
• 38% (1 in 2 year ARI)
• 18% (1 in 5 year ARI)
• 2% (1 in 50 year ARI)
• 1% (1 in 100 year ARI)
• 0.2% (1 in 500 year ARI)
• Probable Maximum Flood (PMF)
Existing scenario flood hazards assumed Mean High Water Spring (MHWS – 2.35 m AHD/5.24
m Tide Datum) tidal levels. Projected year 2100 flood hazards were modelled by applying a 20%
increase in rainfall intensities and a 0.8 m increase in tide levels in line with industry standard

recommendations outlined in the report Increasing Queensland’s Resilience to Inland Flooding in
a Changing Climate (DERM, DIP, LGAQ, 2010).
Projected year 2100 scenarios were completed for the 1% AEP and 0.2% AEP events to satisfy the
State Planning Policy – state interest guidance material: Natural hazards, risks and resilience -
Flood– July 2017 requirements of incorporating the projected impacts of climate change into
planning for natural hazards, risk and resilience. The scenarios are intended to be incorporated into
the Mackay Region Planning Scheme 2017 flood hazard overlay mapping and also used for the
identification of minimum development and floor levels.
Modelled flood depths and velocities for the full range of probabilities simulated were analysed to
understand existing flood hazards of the study area and target areas for mitigation. Modelling
results matched well to areas of known issues and previous drainage studies.
Property floor levels identified from Terrestrial LiDAR were applied to flood depths to determine
properties impacted by above floor flooding. A summary of the findings is detailed in Table 1.

In general, the flood immunity of the study area is good, with very few buildings impacted by
frequent (<18% AEP) flooding. While isolated instances of above floor flooding occur across the
entire study area, a concentration of impacted properties occurs along Absolon Street.
In terms of frequent nuisance flooding of urban properties not above floor levels, older areas of
Absolon Street, Webster Street, Kindemar Street and Simpson Street experienced the most
frequent inundation with several yards inundated and property access impacted. Within Ooralea,
where extensive investment in the drainage network occurred as part of development of
Cuttersfield Estate, nuisance flooding is generally contained within the drainage network and road
reserves.
Region specific flood damage curves were applied to above floor flooding results to estimate the
Average Annual Damage (AAD) cost of flooding within the study area arising from local flood
events. AAD provides a high-level indication of an areas exposure to economic risks associated
with flooding and provides a critical input to cost benefit analysis. The flood damage curves were
developed as part of the Mackay Floodplain Management Plan and relate the depth of flooding
above floor level to the cost of damage for a range of building types and uses across the region.
The study calculated an AAD of $284,000 for existing conditions.
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 13 MARCH 2019
MIN/13.03.2019 FOLIO 61232
Several non-structural and structural (capital works) mitigation options were developed to address
issues identified across the study area. Six structural mitigation options targeting the Absolon
Street area and upgrades to trunk drainage were modelled under ultimate development scenario
conditions to test the effectiveness of proposed drainage upgrades. Modelling showed a reduction
in nuisance flooding in the Absolon Street area and adjacent to trunk drainage upgrades. A
subsequent property flood damage assessment identified a reduction in AAD of $48,000. The
estimated capital cost of all the mitigation options totalled $19.2 M, with most of those costs
associated with improvements to the South Mackay Main Drain. A Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) that
considered tangible damages only, returned a BCR of 0.12, however, any proposed drainage
upgrades should also consider non-financial criteria.
Compared to the existing scenario, the projected 2100 scenario identified a significant increase in
both the number of properties impacted and the severity of the impacts. The State Planning Policy
– state interest guidance material: Natural hazards, risks and resilience – Flood – July 2017
recommends that these hazards are incorporated into Council decision making processes.

Resource Implications
Incorporation of the flood levels into the Mackay Region Planning Scheme 2017 flood hazard
overlay mapping will be undertaken as part of a minor amendment package. The proposed minor
amendment will also incorporate mapping produced as part of the Sarina Drainage Study 2018,
which was formally adopted by Council on November 2018, and update a number of other overlay
maps to reflect updated SPP mapping layers. The amendment to the planning scheme mapping
will involve the update of Council’s internal (MADI) and publicly available (MiMaps) online
mapping services.
Schedule 1, section 2(k), of the Ministers Guidelines and Rules Under the Planning Act
2016 – July 2017 provides that a minor amendment can include:
Ensures the planning scheme contains the most up-to-date information about the
risks to life and/or property by providing for the inclusion of new or amended
natural hazard mapping in the scheme where the mapping is-
i. for a flood hazard area – based on a localised flood study that has been
undertaken by an RPEQ, includes climate change projections and has been
accepted by a local government.
The inclusion of the prepared flood mapping into the Mackay Region Planning Scheme 2017 will
be in accordance with this section of guidelines. For these type of proposed amendment, Council
must give notice to every property owner affected by the change. This will involve a mail out to
approximately 2,000 landholders within the Bakers Creek South Mackay catchment.
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 13 MARCH 2019
MIN/13.03.2019 FOLIO 61233
Approval to begin the minor amendment process will be requested in a subsequent report to
Council at this ordinary meeting. It is anticipated that the minor amendment will commence as a
new version of the Mackay Region Planning Scheme 2017 around mid-2019, after having
followed the process required under the Minister’s Guidelines and Rules – July 2017.
Prioritisation of mitigation options will be undertaken as part of business as usual operations for
the Strategic Planning and Technical Services programs, with input from the Capital Works
directorate as required.
Risk Management Implications
Flood hazard information across part of the study area is available as part of the Gooseponds
Creek (including Pioneer River) Flood Study (WRM 2015). However, those sections of the study
area are only affected by overflows from Pioneer River flooding during rare events. No flood risk
information is available for the majority of the study area and no frequent/nuisance flooding
information is available over the entire study area. It is the responsibility of local governments to
define natural hazards within their Local Government Area and make that information available to
the public. The major risk of not adopting the study relate to planning and development decisions
being made that do not consider the best hazard information available and decisions made that are
not in line with a long term understanding of flood hazards. Providing flooding information on
mapping services will also assist with emergency management.
Flood hazards identified through the study do not present a high risk to the community in the
context of broader regional flooding and are not required to be addressed immediately. The
Absolon Street area has been the subject of community complaints and it is recommended that
further consideration and optimisation of mitigation options near Absolon Street and trunk
drainage is completed to alleviate frequent nuisance flooding.
There is a minor level of risk associated with public notification. Council completed a similar
amendment of the flood hazard overlay in 2018. Enquires from that notification process identified
the perception that Council is causing the flooding. This perception was managed through clear
messaging whereby,
• the mapping produced identifies the flood hazard extent of a rare event (0.2% AEP
in any one year) under projected climate change conditions for the year 2100,
assuming existing development scenarios.
• The mapping allows for Council to allow for appropriate planning of potential future
hazards.
• The flood study also allows for developments which may impact stormwater and
flooding patterns to be analysed for potential impacts.
Furthermore, the public notification letter which was issued to impacted landholders under the
previous flood hazard overlay will be reviewed by Council’s legal team.

Conclusion
The Bakers Creek South Mackay Stormwater Trunk Infrastructure Study was completed by
engineering consultants AECOM, having regard for the ARR 16 industry standard guideline. The
study has identified flood hazards for a range of events, including the projected impacts of climate
change that will assist Council officers and the community plan for and respond to flood hazards.
The mapping of flood hazards has been completed in accordance with the Department of State
Development, Manufacturing Infrastructure and Planning’s requirements, which will allow for
inclusion in the Mackay Region Planning Scheme 2017.
The study produced several mitigation options to reduce flood hazards. Concept testing of the
mitigation options confirmed that they will reduce frequent nuisance flooding in areas of known
community concern. These hazards should be considered in a regional context using the project
prioritisation tool developed as part of the Flood and Stormwater Management Strategy.
Officer's Recommendation
THAT Council adopts the Bakers Creek South Mackay Stormwater Trunk
Infrastructure Study as the basis for informing planning controls for urban
development within the catchment and that identified structural and non-structural
mitigation measures be prioritised in a regional context prior to consideration as part
of the future budget approval process.
Cr Bonaventura queried if additional information could be provided on 2008 flood levels
mentioned in the study.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) advised he would take this request on notice and provide

11.8 MACKAY REGION PLANNING SCHEME 2017 - MINOR AMENDMENT 3
- FLOOD HAZARD AND OTHER STATE PLANNING POLICY OVERLAY
MAPPING - DECIDE TO AMEND THE PLANNING SCHEME
Author Principal Planner – Local Planning
Purpose
The purpose of this report is for Council to consider whether to “decide to amend the planning
scheme” through a minor amendment process in accordance with chapter 2, part 2, section 5.1
of the Minister’s Guidelines and Rules Under the Planning Act 2016 – July 2017 (MGR). The
proposed minor amendments to the Mackay Region Planning Scheme 2017 (planning scheme)
will:
• incorporate updated flood hazard mapping from the ‘Bakers Creek South Mackay
Stormwater Trunk Infrastructure Study’ (subject of a separate report at this Ordinary
Meeting) and the ‘Sarina Drainage Study 2018’ into the planning scheme flood hazard
overlay maps;
• comply with the State Planning Policy (SPP) mapping of Priority Development Areas
(PDAs), by amending planning scheme zone maps to remove zoning of sites within the
Mackay Waterfront PDA and the Andergrove PDA, noting that they are regulated under
the Economic Development Act 2012 (ED Act); and
• update several overlay maps to reflect amendments to the SPP mapping.
Related Parties
The Bakers Creek South Mackay Stormwater Trunk Infrastructure Study is subject to a
separate Council report. The Sarina Drainage Study 2018 was adopted by Council on 14
November 2018. The related parties for these studies are all properties identified in the
mapping of these studies.
The inclusion in the planning scheme through a minor amendment process is required to reflect
these studies in the planning scheme’s overlay mapping. Affected property owners in the study
areas will receive a letter in the mail advising of a change to the flood hazard overlay mapping
which affects their property. Letters will be sent to approximately 2000 property owners in the
Bakers Creek South Mackay Stormwater Trunk Infrastructure Study area and 950 property
owners in the Sarina Flood Drainage Study area.
Reflecting SPP mapping amendments in the planning scheme overlay layers (where relevant) is
required to ensure the planning scheme remains SPP compliant. The detail of the overlay maps
proposed to be updated to reflect the SPP are being finalised and will be included in a future
Council report.
The planning scheme minor amendment process only requires affected property owners to be
notified if the amendment relates to new or amended natural hazard mapping. Notification is
not required if updating the planning scheme overlay maps to reflect any other SPP mapping.
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 13 MARCH 2019
MIN/13.03.2019 FOLIO 61238
Background/Discussion
It is important to keep the planning scheme up to date with latest and most accurate mapping
and information available.
The proposed amendment will:
1. Update the Flood and coastal hazards overlay maps – Flood Hazards – Area affected by
1% and 0.2% AEP flood event layers to incorporate flood mapping from the following
studies:
a. The Bakers Creek South Mackay Stormwater Trunk Infrastructure Study
(subject to approval as a separate item at this ordinary meeting); and
b. The Sarina Drainage Study 2018 (adopted 14 November 2018).
2. Update the Biodiversity overlay maps – waterways and wetlands – ‘wetlands’ and
‘wetlands buffer’ layers to reflect the latest version of the SPP mapping for Biodiversity
– Matters of State ecological significance – High ecological significance wetlands.
3. Update the Planning scheme zone maps to show that the following areas are regulated
under the ED Act: the Mackay Waterfront PDA and the Andergrove PDA. Zone
information will be removed and a note added over both areas, clarifying that they are
regulated under the ED Act. This amendment is to comply with SPP mapping of PDA
areas and to apply a consistent mapping approach to all PDAs within the planning
scheme area.
4. Further investigations on SPP mapping updates are taking place. This may result in
additional mapping updates being included as part of these proposed amendments. Any
additional amendments (not listed above) will be identified in the second and final
report to Council regarding this proposed minor amendment.
Section 20 of the Planning Act 2016 (Act) allows a local government to amend a planning
scheme by following the process set out in the MGR. The amendment process is proposed to be
a “minor amendment” because the amendments are of a nature that do not require public
consultation, but make changes that are more substantial than those allowable under an
administrative amendment. Schedule 1, item 2 of the MGR provides a definition of a minor
amendment. Aspects of the definition relevant to the proposed amendments with the details of
the amendments to which they relate are as follows:
a minor amendment to a planning scheme is an amendment that is not an administrative
amendment and that the local government is satisfied meets any of the following -
e) reflects a current development approval, a master plan for a declared master
planned area, or an approved development plan under the South Bank Corporation
Act 1989, or an approval under other legislation;
The relevant amendments remove the zoning of sites within the Mackay Waterfront PDA and
the Andergrove PDA and add a note stating that they are regulated under the ED Act.
h) reflects a change or changes to mapping in Appendix 1 of the SPP where the
mapping is not locally refined by the local government and is not mapping under
section 2(k) of this schedule;
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 13 MARCH 2019
MIN/13.03.2019 FOLIO 61239
The relevant amendments:
Update the Biodiversity overlay map – waterways and wetlands to reflect SPP mapping
for Biodiversity – Matters of State ecological significance – High ecologically
significance wetlands
Update other overlay maps to reflect SPP mapping updates.
k) ensures the planning scheme contains the most up-to-date information about the
risks to life and/or property by providing for the inclusion of new or amended
natural hazard mapping in the scheme where the mapping is-
i. for a flood hazard area – based on a localised flood study that has been
undertaken by an RPEQ, includes climate change projections and has been
accepted by a local government; …
The relevant amendments update the flood hazard overlay mapping to incorporate flood
mapping prepared under the ‘Bakers Creek South Mackay Stormwater Trunk Infrastructure
Study’ and the ‘Sarina Drainage Study 2018’.
Chapter 2, part 2 of the MGR sets out the process required to make a minor amendment. Key
steps considered relevant to the amendments proposed are:
5 Planning and preparation
5.1 To make a proposed amendment, the local government must decide to amend the
planning scheme.
5.2 The local government must prepare the proposed amendment.
5.3 If the proposed amendment is an amendment listed under Schedule 1, section 2(k) –
a) the local government must give notice to every property owner affected by the
planning change about the meaning of the change and how to obtain further
advice; and
b) the local government may decide to take the actions prescribed in Chapter 4.
5 Adoption
5.4 The local government must decide to adopt or not proceed with the proposed
amendment.
5.5 If the local government decides to adopt the proposed amendment, the local
government must publish a public notice in accordance with the Act and the
requirements prescribed in schedule 5.
5.6 The local government must, within 10 business days of publishing a public notice,
give the chief executive—
a) a copy of the public notice; and
b) a certified copy of the minor amendment, as adopted, including—
i. an electronic copy of the amendment or instrument; and
ii. a copy of all electronic planning scheme spatial data files (mapping)
relevant to the minor amendment.
Accordingly, the first step for Council to commence the proposed amendments will be to
decide to amend the planning scheme (section 5.1 of the MGR). Following this, Council will
then need to prepare the proposed amendments (section 5.2 of the MGR). As the amendment to
the flood hazard mapping is an amendment listed under Schedule 1, item 2(k) of the MGR,
Council must notify all property owners affected by the planning change about the meaning of
the change and how to obtain further advice (section 5.3 (a) of the MGR). A second report will
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 13 MARCH 2019
MIN/13.03.2019 FOLIO 61240
then provide details about the amendment which has been prepared and ask Council to decide
whether to adopt or not proceed with the proposed amendment (Section 6.1 of the MGR).
Potential for compensation due to changes to flood hazard mapping
Section 30 of the Act sets out when compensation to an affected owner may be applicable due
to an “adverse planning change”. Section 30(2) of the Act defines an adverse planning change
as “a planning change that reduces the value of an interest in premises”. Section 30(4)(e) of
the Act prescribes that an adverse planning change is not “a planning change that is made:
(i) to reduce a material risk of serious harm to persons or property on the premises from
natural events or processes (bush fires, coastal erosion, flooding or landslides for
example); and
(ii) under the Minister’s rules”
Chapter 2, part 2, section 5.3 (b) of the MGR states that “the local government may decide to
take the actions prescribed in Chapter 4” [emphasis added]. Chapter 4 allows planning changes
that reduce a material risk of serious harm to persons or property on the premises from natural
events or processes to be deemed not adverse changes under section 30(4)(e) of the Act, if the
changes are supported by a Feasible Alternatives Assessment Report (FARA). The FARA must
conclude that there is no reasonable alternative to the proposed planning change related to
natural events or processes. In summary, preparing a FARA would protect Council against
claims for compensation due to an adverse planning change under the Act.
The proposed amendments will identify areas within the Flood and coastal hazards overlay –
Flood hazard maps that were not previously within the overlay. However, the proposed
amendments are not considered to be an adverse planning change, given that they do not
increase development requirements from requirements already in the planning scheme.
Current provisions in both the Dwelling house code, and the General development
requirements code require that the minimum floor level of habitable rooms is the highest of the
following:
• 300mm above the defined flood event or defined storm tide event
• RL5.4m Australian Height Datum (AHD) in Mackay urban area, RL5.0m AHD in
Midge Point and RL5.3m AHD in other identified coastal townships
• 225mm above natural ground level
• 300mm above the kerb level or crown of adjoining road
• in addition to the above, an extra 600mm in foreshore areas
Where development is proposed in known flood areas that are not identified on the Flood and
coastal hazards overlay mapping (i.e. flood areas that have not been covered by a flood study),
Council or a Building Certifier can require an applicant to undertake a flood study to
demonstrate compliance with the above provisions.
The Flood and coastal hazards overlay code has the same requirement as the floor level
requirements identified above. Therefore, the proposed amendments do not increase
development requirements from those already in force under the planning scheme. The
proposed amendments will mean that landowners do not need to carry out their own flood
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 13 MARCH 2019
MIN/13.03.2019 FOLIO 61241
study to determine the relevant flood event height, as this is already done by Council’s flood
studies.
Given that the proposed amendments are not considered to be an “adverse planning change”, it
is considered that the compensation provisions under section 30 of the Act do not apply in this
instance.
Consultation and Communication
Minor amendments do not require public consultation. However, in accordance with chapter 2,
part 2, section 5.3(a) of the MGR, the local government must give notice to every property
owner affected by an amendment under Schedule 1, section 2(k) (changes to flood hazard
mapping) explaining about the meaning of the change and how to obtain further advice.
Resource Implications
The process of making the planning scheme amendment will be managed by Strategic
Planning. Resources required will be funded from the current operational budget.
Risk Management Implications
The scheme requires an amendment to ensure it includes up to date information.
The risk of not undertaking the proposed minor amendment will:
• result in Council not complying with the direction of the Minister for State Development,
Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning, which requires the planning scheme to contain
the most up to date information;
• impede the ability of the planning scheme to reduce a material risk of serious harm to
persons or property on the premises from natural events or processes (bush fires, coastal
erosion, flooding or landslides for example);
• continue to have more onerous and cost prohibitive requirements for
developers/landowners needing to carry out their own flood study to determine the relevant
flood event height – which has been determined by the flood studies mentioned in this
report.
Conclusion
A planning scheme amendment is required to ensure that the planning scheme includes up-to-
date information about flooding and reflects the latest SPP mapping amendments.
It is recommended that Council:
• decide to amend the planning scheme through a minor amendment process in
accordance with chapter 2, part 2, section 5.1 of the MGR; and
• prepare the amendment under section 5.2 of the MGR; and
• notify property owners affected by the updated flood mapping under section 5.3(a) of
the MGR.

Background/Discussion
Preferred Supplier Arrangements (PSA) have proven to be a cost-effective means of supplying
high usage items utilised by Mackay Regional Council (Council) operational departments
whilst satisfying legislative requirements.
Considerable delays to operational activates would be incurred if quotes were to be obtained in
each instance, as stipulated under section 226 Local Government Regulations 2012. In order to
gain cost efficiencies and competitive market rates due to the economies of scale achieved by
aggregating demand, Council issued a request for tender MRC 2019-043 Preferred Supplier
Arrangement – Traffic Control Signs and Devices.
The proposed commencement date for this contract is 1 April 2019 for a two years period, with
a provision for rise and fall after each one year, together with an option of a one-year extension
period at Council’s discretion.
Tenders were invited via the QTender website and advertised in the Daily Mercury on 8
December 2018.

Mr Graham Townsend
Mr Townsend of Glenella, advised he would like to draw Councils attention to keeping the War
Memorial Pool open and what the War Memorial Pool represents to his family given the
Townsend family extensive Service history.

advised the Mackay Cyclones members have had difficulty in the past booking suitable water

access. If the War Memorial Pool were to close she is unsure how Mackay Cyclones would
provide the necessary training facilities for its members.
Mr Nigel Dalton
Mr Dalton of Shoal Point, provided a list of cities which have swimming pools within walking
distance of their CBD which are important to their residents to exercise before, during and after
work hours:
• Tobruk Memorial Pool, Cairns;
• Tobruk Memorial Baths, Townsville;
• Second World War Memorial Pool, Rockhampton;
• Gladstone Aquatic Centre;
• ANZAC Park, Bundaberg;
• Maryborough War Memorial Pool; and
• Noosa Aquatic Centre.
He would like the War Memorial Pool maintained for future generations to utilise.
Ms Paulene Barham
Ms Barham of East Mackay, on behalf of Keith Payne who is absent today as he is in
Townsville. Keith is a Victoria Cross (VC) recipient, OAM and is committed to ensuring the
Mackay Memorial Swimming Centre continues to be a living War Memorial to future
generations to enjoy. Keith has advised Council previously he will provide a fund-raising
campaign himself to ensure the future of the Mackay War Memorial Swimming Centre if
required.
Ms Robyn Ware
Ms Ware of Mount Pleasant, she was in support of the Mackay War Memorial Pool and for the
continued use of the facility. With Mackay's hot humid climate, the Mackay War Memorial
Pool provides a safe place for families to relax and socialise. The Mackay War Memorial Pool
is listed on the Places of Pride National Register of War Memorials and is also on the
Queensland War Memorial Register.
Ms Jeanette Farrugia
Ms Farrugia of Rural View read a letter from the RSL Kuttabul Sub Division outlining two (2)
resolutions passed in a General Meeting at the Kuttabul RSL Sub Branch on 26 September
2018 in relation to the War Memorial Pool and the War Memorial Plaque.
Ms Lorraine Elkhuizen
Ms Elkhuizen of Beaconsfield, wished to address three points in relation to location and
suitability of the War Memorial Pool where the Mackay ARC is not suitable:
• The Strategic Plan shows the Mackay City is over serviced and therefore the War
Memorial Pool should be closed. Residences are not where residents spend their
working hours.
FINAL MINUTES WEDNESDAY 13 MARCH 2019
MIN/13.03.2019 FOLIO 61250
• While the Mackay ARC is impressive it is not suitable for the War Memorial Pool
patrons who are learning to swim 50 m and those who need to stand in chest deep water
for rehabilitation.
• How are the patrons of the War Memorial Pool going to swim without a pool in the
CBD if this facility is closed?
Ms Sue Dalton
Ms Dalton of Shoal Point, commented on reports adopted by previous Councils and if the
recommendations outlined in these reports were undertaken then the War Memorial Pool would
not need the level of maintenance currently required.
Mr Ari Oliver
Mr Oliver of Rural View read a letter of support dated 26 November 2018 from the Federal
Member for Dawson Mr George Christensen MP supporting the War Memorial Pool staying
open and offered support to Council in applying for funding through the Building Better
Region program.
Mr Terry Hayes
Mr Hayes of Mackay, representing Mackay RSL Sub Branch, advised the construction of the
War Memorial Pool was an example of the co-operation between the Council and its resident.
The War Memorial Pool is a tribute to all the servicemen and women and believes the Council
of today has the resources and vision to transform the War Memorial Pool into a notable
landmark and visible evidence the military heritage is not forgotten.
Ms Maxine Godley
Ms Godley of Habana read emails on behalf of the Principals from Mackay State High School
dated 5 March 2019 and Mercy College dated 6 March 2019 outlining the how their students
use the War Memorial Pool.
Ms Sue Willett
Ms Willett of Andergrove advised she has been concerned with the future of the War Memorial
Pool since the short-term 12 month contract was awarded for the lease of the War Memorial
Pool to allow for flexibly when Council adopts its Aquatic Strategy. She believes the War
Memorial Pool is a community asset worth keeping and should be recognised by Council as a
health resource rather than considered an aging facility.
Ms Carol Single
Ms Single of Walkerston advised she was disappointed that Mackay Regional Council has
neglected the War Memorial Pool and conducted very limited maintenance over the past 10
years. She believes the attendance figures for the War Memorial Pool provided in Council
reports are not accurate for February 2019 and these inaccuracies go back to other older reports
as well.

Ms Pamela Tindale
Ms Tindale of Mt Pleasant thanked the Councillors who have committed to vote to retain the
War Memorial Pool. She believes it is this current Council's responsibility to decide the fate of
this icon of the Mackay CBD because this Council commissioned the Aquatic Strategy which
recommends the closure of the War Memorial Pool.
Mr Wal Grandison
Mr Grandison of Sarina Range advised he comes from a military family and believes it is his
responsibility to stand up and support the War Memorial Pool. Servicemen and woman made
sacrifices for everyone's freedom today.
The Mayor thanked the members of the public for their contributions during Public
Participation.
