Summary: The proposed Place of Worship involves two separate buildings for a Church and Community Hall and achieves a maximum building height of 13 metres. The Place of Worship buildings, a caretaker’s residence and four ancillary detached dwellings comprise a combined total GFA of 2700m2, resulting in a consolidated built form and overall site cover of 5.8%. The proposed development triggered impact assessment under the 2015 Logan City Planning Scheme. While the site is zoned Emerging Community and not currently planned for immediate urban development, the proposed land uses are consistent with Council’s future vision for the area under its Strategic Framework, which identifies the site and adjacent land as a planned Mixed Use zoned area. The town planning application in conjunction with supporting sub-consultant reports demonstrated the proposed development satisfies the planning scheme requirements. The development application addressed key site issues including ecological management, bushfire hazard, traffic impact, infrastructure and servicing (including on-site sewerage treatment) and noise impacts to nearby noise sensitive land uses. The proposed development while being designed with best practice environmental management, will provide an appropriate infill development and community infrastructure to meet community needs. A Council decision on the development application is forthcoming.
