PART 1 3
INTRODUCTION 4
Development Background 5
1 Rezoning Application 6
1.1 Robina applied to the Council by Rezoning Application No. 7
2270 dated 10 July 1990 to exclude the subject land from the 8
present zone and include it in the proposed zone. 9
Master Planning 10
1.2 As discussions and negotiations in relation to that rezoning 11
application proceeded it became apparent that the development 12
proposed by Robina pursuant to the application involved the 13
master planning of a new mixed use community rather than a 14
specific development application and that the existing 15
legislation did not provide an adequate framework within 16
which to implement the proposal. 17
Deficiencies in Existing Legislation 18
1.3 The reasons why the existing legislation was inadequate may 19
be summarised as follows:-- 20
1.3.1 the inclusion of part of the land in the Special 21
Facilities (Robina Town Centre Core) zone is 22
intended to confer a legal right to use any part of 23
that land for any of the purposes set out in clauses 24
120 and 121 of Part 9, subject to the Council's 25
approval of the details of the final development 26
and, in the latter case, subject to obtaining town 27
planning consent; 28
1.3.2 the land to be included in the Special Business 29
zone may be used for any of the purposes set out 30
in Clauses 151.1 and 151.2 of Part 10 of the 31
22
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
Second Schedule subject to the relevant Plan of 1
Development and final development approval or 2
to obtaining the Council's consent where required; 3
1.3.3 the infrastructure requirements for the 4
development as a whole can be determined with 5
certainty on the basis of maximum equivalent 6
population fixed by prescription of limits on 7
building heights and site coverage for commercial 8
buildings and by prescription of maximum 9
populations for residential buildings; 10
1.3.4 it is nevertheless not possible to determine the 11
proportion or extent that each of the permitted or 12
permissible uses will assume; 13
1.3.5 it is similarly not possible to determine or specify 14
the precise form and sequence of development; 15
1.3.6 the matters referred to in Clauses 1.3.4 and 1.3.5 16
are capable of description but only in a conceptual 17
way by means of:-- 18
1.3.6.1 statements of planning and Precinct 19
intents describing the proposed 20
development in terms of uses to be 21
undertaken, facilities to be provided, 22
objectives to be achieved and the 23
form, character and intensity of the 24
final development; and 25
1.3.6.2 concept plans containing illustrations 26
or examples of how the statements of 27
intent might be implemented; 28
1.3.7 part of the land considered to form part of the 29
Robina Central concept, being the Northern Frame 30
land, had already been rezoned and there was no 31
adequate mechanism available to integrate this 32
approval with the rest of the proposal. 33
23
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
New Legislation 1
1.4 Because of these deficiencies in the existing legislation, it was 2
agreed with Council that legislation would be necessary to 3
specifically provide for the planning and development of the 4
Robina Central site. 5
Purposes of the Agreement 6
2. The purposes of this Agreement are to:-- 7
2.1 describe and promote Robina Central's overall intent, concepts, 8
form and implementation; 9
2.2 provide an implementation process to govern the detailed 10
planning, land use, development and landscaping requirements 11
and guidelines for Robina Central on a continuing basis; 12
2.3 specify with the necessary certainty and enforceability Robina's 13
obligations in relation to the construction of earthworks, roads 14
and services which cannot be adequately regulated by 15
application of existing legislation to the proposed development; 16
and 17
2.4 provide a mechanism and a process whereby Robina's 18
planning obligations in relation to the construction of buildings 19
can be determined, in accordance with specified development 20
requirements and within certain parameters, and subject to a 21
fair and effective dispute resolution process where necessary. 22
Structure of the Second Schedule 23
3 The Second Schedule of the Planning Agreement contains the 24
development intentions, implementation strategy, construction 25
obligations and development requirements for Robina Central. It is 26
structured as follows:-- 27
3.1 Part 2 covers the regional context of the development, together 28
with the planning intentions and the implementation process 29
for development within Robina Central. This part defines a 30
hierarchy of planning areas as the fundamental implementation 31
mechanism and the basis of development control. It also 32
identifies the need to provide flexibility for the development to 33
meet market and community expectations over the long term, 34
24
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
while still ensuring sufficient certainty as to the nature, form 1
and scale of the ultimate development. 2
3.2 Parts 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 deal with Robina's obligations in relation 3
to roads, water supply, sewerage, open space and pathways, 4
and waterways and weirs. This includes details on the extent 5
of works and their timing and the applicable headworks 6
charges and other contributions by Robina. 7
3.3 Part 8 addresses Robina's and Council's obligations in regard 8
to the establishment, leasing and operation of a public library 9
and a community centre within the site. 10
3.4 Parts 9, 10 and 11 cover the land uses and development 11
requirements and guidelines for the Core, Inner Frame, 12
Southern Frame and the Northern Frame, respectively. These 13
parts also address the requirements for applications in relation 14
to specific development proposals in each of these areas. 15
3.5 Part 12 deals with a range of general issues associated with the 16
overall development of Robina Central, including public 17
transport, street lighting, earthworks, tree preservation and 18
removal, environmental considerations and reclamation works. 19
3.6 Part 13 focuses on the obligations of Council in regard to 20
Robina Central, including issues of roads, services, community 21
facilities and commitments to supporting Robina's broad 22
intentions and objectives for development. 23
Planning of Land Use 24
4 The planning approach to determine land usage has adopted a 25
hierarchy of planning levels based on the concept of the combined site 26
being divided into four (4) Areas:-- 27
-- The Northern Frame 28
-- The Core 29
-- The Inner Frame 30
-- The Southern Frame 31
and permits each of those Areas where appropriate to be divided into 32
Precincts. It also provides for each Precinct to be further divided into 33
25
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
Development Sections. A more detailed explanation and the 1
implementation of this approach is contained in Part 2. 2
Construction of Development 3
5 Construction of development will usually occur in three stages:-- 4
5.1 the first stage being earthworks when the land is shaped and 5
roads, waterways, parks, etc. are formed; 6
5.2 the second stage when services such as roads, water supply, 7
sewerage, electricity and telephone are constructed; and 8
5.3 the third is when construction of buildings occurs. 9
Earthworks Zones and Service Districts 10
6 Earthworks contracts will usually be undertaken over a larger area than 11
that for which services are to be provided. Accordingly, for ease of 12
administration and understanding, the combined site will be 13
categorised by:-- 14
6.1 "Earthworks Zones" within which earthworks will be carried 15
out in accordance with an approved plan or plans; and 16
6.2 "Service Districts" within which services will be constructed 17
or provided in accordance with an approved plan or plans. 18
Adoption of Usage and Construction Scheme 19
7 This Agreement has therefore adopted the following scheme:-- 20
Areas (for usage) Earthworks Zones (for earthworks) 21
Precincts (for usage) Service Districts (for services) 22
Development Sections (for usage) 23
which may be shown diagrammatically as follows:-- 24

Importance of Identifying Zones and Districts 8
8 Having regard to the foregoing scheme, the proper identification of 9
Earthworks Zones and, more importantly, Service Districts is of 10
fundamental importance from the point of view of development 11
control. The usage to which the combined site may be put is 12
already controlled by the terms of this Agreement and, subject 13
thereto, the precise content and form of the final development are 14
matters for Robina and other parties who ultimately take the benefit 15
of this Agreement or the approval of subsequent applications. 16
Development to be Orderly & Controlled 17
9 The Council requires that development occur in an orderly and 18
controlled manner and this is to be achieved by requiring Robina to 19
complete, effectively secure and/or effectively co-ordinate the first 20
two stages of construction (earthworks and services) in any given 21
Service District before fragmentation of the landholding in that 22
District is permitted. The provisions of Sections 4 (Bonding, 23
Security & Release of Plans) and 7 (Sale and Transfer of Land) in 24
this Agreement are designed to achieve this result. 25

PART 2 3
PLANNING INTENTIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION 4
Intent of Robina Central 5
10 Robina Central is intended to be developed as a major 6
comprehensively planned Regional Business Centre 7
accommodating the highest order of retailing, business, 8
administration, entertainment, cultural, recreational and community 9
facilities as well as a wide range of housing choices. This will be 10
achieved by maximising the integration of this broad range of land 11
uses in innovative and flexible forms of mixed use development 12
which avoid incompatibility of uses. 13
Regional Context 14
11 Given its strategic location and the opportunity to comprehensively 15
plan a "green field" site, Robina Central will play a major role in 16
serving central place needs. This relates not just to adjacent districts, 17
but also to the area included in the Gold Coast Statistical District and 18
southern parts of the wider Brisbane to Gold Coast Urban Corridor 19
together with parts of Northern New South Wales, as demonstrated 20
by Plan 2/2/1. 21
As the first major Regional Business Centre to be located inland 22
from the coastal strip, it is well placed to service the needs of the 23
growing hinterland population. Its strategic location at the 24
intersection of major arterial roads with the Pacific Highway and at 25
the terminus of the proposed Brisbane to Robina railway will ensure 26
high levels of accessibility to and from both the local and wider 27
regions. 28
The opportunity this location offers for Robina Central to become a 29
major public transport focus with a transit network radiating from 30
the proposed rail terminus, will enable its development as a major 31
office employment centre for both the public and private sectors as 32
28
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
well as a major centre for the provision of government/community 1
services, cultural and recreational facilities. Convenient access to 2
public transport will also benefit the residents of Robina Central. 3
The high employment potential is enhanced by Robina Central's 4
location close to the Bond University and its Research Park as well 5
as by its attractive water enhanced landscape setting at the edge of 6
the Merrimac regional open space corridor. 7
The continuing development of the Merrimac regional open space 8
corridor for golf and recreation resort facilities, the increasing tourist 9
traffic on the national Pacific Highway and the proximity to both 10
hinterland and coastal tourist and recreation attractions will ensure a 11
major tourism and recreation role for Robina Central for hotel/motel 12
accommodation, shopping and support facilities. 13
In view of these opportunities, it is recognised that Robina Central 14
may in time develop as a major central place anchor for the Brisbane 15
to Gold Coast Urban Corridor as well as one of the major regional 16
business districts for the Gold Coast Statistical District. The 17
possibility of Robina Central becoming the dominant central 18
business district for the region is neither disregarded nor 19
discouraged and the Council recognises that the matters referred to 20
in this section give Robina Central a potential advantage in that 21
regard. The Council, however, views Robina Central as one of the 22
regional business centres in its Strategic Plan. 23
Flexibility for Innovative Development 24
12 In view of the long term nature of the development being 25
undertaken, it is recognised that a flexible approach will be required 26
in relation to innovative development concepts, standards and 27
practices to take account of technological advances, market variables 28
and changing patterns in our society. Indeed, to ensure the 29
continued vitality of Robina Central, it will be important to keep 30
abreast of the latest developments in all areas affecting its 31
development and operations. 32
This need for flexibility is inherent in the range of Planning 33
Intentions and Implementation Plans that have been or will be 34
prepared in relation to the development of Robina Central. 35
29
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
Planning Intentions and Implementation 1
13 The overall vision for development and the broad planning 2
intentions for Robina Central are reflected in the structure plan and 3
master plan. These plans enable a visualisation of the fundamental 4
site layout and the inter-relationships of the broad mixture of land 5
uses proposed. 6
A hierarchy of planning areas has been derived from the structure 7
plan, as the basis for planning implementation and to guide the 8
intensity and form of future development. The whole of the Robina 9
Central area is divided into four land use Areas viz the Core and 10
three Frames (Refer Plan 2/2/4A). These are in turn divided or to be 11
divided into development Precincts each with their own statement of 12
intent covering the desired type, form and intensity of development 13
envisaged. Within these Precincts, Development Sections will be 14
identified as the basis for preparing a Plan of Development for each 15
Development Section that accords with the Precinct intents and 16
contains the final land uses, planning principles and design and 17
siting guidelines to control development. 18
For the purpose of development unity, the major open space and 19
access networks have been determined to integrate the development 20
Precincts and complete the overall development configuration. 21
Finally, the master development plan is the means by which details 22
from each of the above planning instruments will be drawn together 23
to monitor the progress of Robina Central during development and 24
to form a permanent statutory record of approvals and consents. 25
The following diagram summarises the planning intentions and 26
implementation process for Robina Central. It is provided as a 27
means of assisting readers of this Agreement to understand the 28
relationship between the visionary concepts and intentions for the 29
development of Robina Central and the process by which those 30
visions will be translated and implemented into reality, based upon 31
best planning practices, the provisions of this Agreement and need. 32

Revisions to Planning Intentions and Implementation Plans 1
14 Robina may, from time to time, with the approval of Council amend 2
the structure plan, the master plan, the open space and pathway 3
network plan, and the Precinct plans to reflect change, more detailed 4
planning and market expectations. Robina must consult with 5
Council on a proposed revision of a plan and must provide any 6
relevant information in support of its proposed revision as may 7
reasonably be required by Council. In revising a plan Robina must, 8
to the extent possible, take into account Council's reasonable and 9
relevant requirements. When Robina amends a plan, it must lodge 10
the revised plan with Council which plan will replace and be 11
substituted for the previous plan. 12
Planning Concepts and Intentions--Structure Plan 13
15 Plan 2/2/2A is the structure plan to guide in general terms the 14
planning and development of Robina Central. It is broadly based on 15
the combined site and contiguous areas that have direct land use 16
interrelationships with the proposed town centre development. 17
The structure plan should not be regarded as defining the final nature 18
or location of specific land uses. Rather, the plan should be viewed 19
as a conceptual framework of transport networks and open spaces, 20
and a distribution of predominant land uses and intensities. It is 21
intended to serve three main purposes:-- 22
(a) to express the overall development intent, concepts and 23
strategies; 24
(b) to provide the broad conceptual basis for assessing the 25
suitability of development proposals in a continuing process; 26
and 27
(c) to provide a reference plan for the ultimate development of the 28
site. 29
While elements of the structure plan are fixed with some certainty 30
by other Parts of this Second Schedule, it purposely has inherent 31
flexibility to accommodate land use variations and development 32
needs which cannot be properly foreseen at this time. 33
32
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
There is a physical constraint on the ultimate development in that the 1
infrastructure for which this Agreement provides is designed to 2
service an equivalent population of 23,000 persons (more or less) 3
residing or working within Robina Central. The planning for the 4
ultimate development (and for each Area and Precinct) must take 5
this constraint into account. Development which would generate an 6
equivalent population significantly exceeding 23,000 persons is not 7
permitted. 8
Planning Concepts and Intentions--Master Plan 9
16 Plan 2/2/3A, described as the master plan, is the current 10
development interpretation of the structure plan. The master plan is 11
an illustration of one form of final development which gives effect 12
to the structure plan and planning intents contained in this Part. It is 13
recognised that the proposed rail terminus and South Coast Regional 14
Health Authority development adjacent to the subject land depend 15
upon anticipated State Government commitments in respect of 16
which a final decision is not yet made. 17
Intent of the Land Use Areas 18
17 The Core and Frame plan Plan No 2/2/4A divides Robina Central 19
into the following four broad land use Areas:-- 20
-- The Core 21
-- The Inner Frame 22
-- The Southern Frame 23
-- The Northern Frame 24
The planning intent for each of those Areas is as follows:-- 25
17.1 The Core 26
This is the central Area and is intended as the area of 27
highest land use intensity and diversity of 28
retail/commercial floor space, and maximum pedestrian 29
activity. The Core will comprise major regional shopping 30
facilities together with personal and community services, 31
professional offices, restaurants, cultural, civic and 32
recreational facilities, hotel and studio apartments. 33
33
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
The Core is focused on an ornamental lake (Waterfront 1
Place) and major town centre plaza which together form a 2
celebration place, accessible to the public 24 hours per 3
day, where the community can come together with a 4
sense of pride and belonging to partake of urban activities 5
such as eating, dining, shopping, promenading and 6
cultural events. 7
17.2 The Inner Frame 8
The Area surrounding the Core to the north of the Robina 9
Parkway ridge is intended as an intensive, secondary 10
mixed use area containing offices, business premises, 11
residential apartments and dwellings, hotels, cultural, 12
recreational, entertainment facilities, educational 13
establishments and places of worship in close proximity 14
to allow easy pedestrian connections and convenient 15
access by public transport. 16
17.3 The Southern Frame 17
This Area to the south of the Robina Parkway ridge is 18
intended as a less intensive area for activities requiring 19
easier motor vehicle access such as an automall, 20
showrooms, service trades, service authority facilities, 21
business and office parks as well as for medium density 22
residential development and higher education facilities. 23
The Area forms an important link from the Core and 24
Inner Frame to the Bond University to the south and with 25
its associated Research Park, recreational facilities and 26
high and medium density residential Precincts as well as 27
to the industrial development zones at the Reedy Creek 28
highway interchange and along the Burleigh Connection 29
Road. 30
17.4 The Northern Frame 31
Covering the predominantly low lying land between the 32
Inner Frame and Mudgeeraba Creek, the Northern Frame 33
will, reflect a different character and the generally lower 34
intensity of development to that of other areas. The 35
34
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
emphasis will be on major public and private recreational 1
and open space areas, with a mixture of land uses 2
integrated mainly around the periphery of this extensively 3
landscaped environment. The current approval allows for 4
public open space uses together with golf course, hotel 5
accommodation and a range of residential development 6
types. 7
Core and Frame Areas - Use and Development Control 8
18 The uses for which land may be developed in each Area and the 9
guidelines for the manner in which development is to be carried out 10
in each Area, despite the provisions of the Town Plan are as 11
follows:-- 12
18.1 the Core--as set out in Part 9; 13
18.2 the Inner Frame and the Southern Frame--as set out in 14
Part 10. 15
18.3 the Northern Frame--as set out in Part 11. 16
Creation of Precincts 17
18A The Core and Frame Areas will each be divided into Precincts 18
accommodating ranges of dominant land uses considered 19
appropriate for those Precincts having regard to the intents for the 20
Area in which the Precincts are created. 21
The Precincts into which each Core and Frame have so far been 22
divided are shown on the Precinct plan Plan 2/2/5. Additional 23
Precincts may be created as more detailed planning of the Core and 24
Frame Areas is advanced. 25
A number of Precincts, including the Rail Interchange, Medical and 26
Gateway West, are presently constrained by existing roads which 27
roads are not included in the relevant Precincts on the Precinct plan. 28
However, as a consequence of the proposed acquisition by 29
Queensland Rail of land for the Robina rail line and transport 30
interchange and Robina's obligation to construct roads giving access 31
to the transport interchange, it is intended that these roads will be 32
closed, included in appropriate zones in conformity with this 33
Agreement and acquired by Robina. These areas of road will then 34
35
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
form part of the Precincts in which they are located and be subject to 1
the relevant planning intentions and provisions of this Agreement. 2
Intent for Development of Each Precinct 3
18B The intent for development of each Precinct shown on the Precinct 4
plan is as follows:-- 5
18B.1 The Core Precincts 6
The Core area is predominantly covered by the Core retail 7
Precinct, comprising the major retail and mixed uses 8
referred to in Clause 17.1 together with Waterfront Place 9
and a number of peripheral future development sites. It is 10
the dominant Precinct of the Robina Central community 11
structure and will contain the most intensive mixture of 12
land uses. 13
The overall development form will consist of multi-level 14
buildings organised around a structure of outdoor 15
pedestrianised streets stepping up the hillside from 16
Waterfront Place. Major carparking areas, including 17
multi-level structured car parks and on-grade parking, will 18
be strategically placed around the Precinct, with close 19
relationships to the anchor retail facilities and convenient 20
access off the main circuit road. The Core retail Precinct 21
will be characterised by the highest quality architectural 22
and landscape finishes, to create a special identity and 23
pedestrian friendly environment. 24
18B.2 Inner Frame Precincts 25
18B.2.1 HIGH SCHOOL PRECINCT 26
This Precinct located along the proposed 27
Mudgeeraba Connection Road will 28
accommodate the new Robina State High 29
School. 30
18B.2.2 WEST ENTRY PRECINCT 31
West entry Precinct adjacent to the High School 32
is primarily intended for a range of commercial 33
premises accommodated in a grouping of low 34
36
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
to medium rise buildings, and may be suitable 1
for Government administration offices. Other 2
convenience uses such as a service station, and 3
catering and business premises complementary 4
to, and integrated with, the predominant 5
commercial development are anticipated. It is 6
further anticipated that emergency services 7
authorities will locate in west entry, given that 8
this location allows rapid access for emergency 9
vehicles to Robina, Mudgeeraba and adjacent 10
districts. 11
18B.2.3 MEDICAL PRECINCT 12
The medical Precinct is ideally located south of 13
the rail interchange and east of land owned by 14
the South Coast Regional Health Authority. 15
Priority will be given to the development of a 16
range of specialist medical facilities and medical 17
uses associated with development by that 18
Authority. These uses could also extend into 19
nearby mixed use areas. Buildings will be 20
predominantly low to medium rise and 21
developed in context with development by the 22
Authority and development in the rail 23
interchange Precinct. The landscaping will be 24
designed so as to create development unity 25
across these Precincts. 26
18B.2.4 RAIL INTERCHANGE PRECINCT 27
This Precinct comprises land intended for 28
acquisition by Queensland Rail in conjunction 29
with other adjacent land external to the Robina 30
Central area. It will accommodate the terminus 31
of the new Brisbane to Gold Coast rail line, 32
providing a regional public transport 33
interchange when integrated with the bus 34
network. Associated with the interchange will 35
be a range of convenience shopping, 36
37
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
commercial premises and offices developed in 1
medium to high rise buildings, including air 2
rights development over the rail interchange. It 3
is further anticipated that the Precinct will 4
accommodate a regional indoor sports and 5
entertainment centre. This centre will be a large 6
scale development providing architectural 7
emphasis as a landmark building. 8
18B.2.5 WEST LAKE, EAST LAKE AND 9
PENINSULA PRECINCTS 10
(WATERWAY PRECINCTS) 11
These Precincts are intended for intensive, 12
mixed use development with an urban character 13
which relates strongly to the Core retail Precinct 14
and to their distinctive waterway landscape 15
settings. The anticipated land uses include 16
offices, business premises, hotel 17
accommodation and entertainment facilities, and 18
residential uses either situated above 19
commercial premises or developed solely as 20
residential buildings. 21
Building development is envisaged as being 22
predominantly low to medium rise but with 23
occasional high rise opportunities at appropriate 24
locations. The desirable urban character of 25
these Precincts will be achieved by designing 26
the diverse forms of buildings and landscaping 27
in a way that they combine to create attractive, 28
pedestrian friendly frontages and spaces. This 29
intensive urban development character will be 30
further enhanced by providing the majority of 31
car parking either in basement or in shared 32
multi-level parking structures. 33
18B.2.6 RIVERWALK PRECINCT 34
Linking south from the lake to the main 35
highway gateway entry, this Precinct is intended 36
38
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
as an alternative, linear river-like park setting for 1
mixed use development. A range of 2
development forms and uses that enhance the 3
serpentine river setting will be encouraged, 4
including a broad mixture of commercial, 5
residential, tourist and entertainment uses and 6
restaurants, cafes, religious and cultural 7
facilities. Other potential uses will include 8
banking and personal services, limited shopping 9
facilities, recreational uses, together with 10
carparking facilities, outdoor plazas and 11
parkland. 12
Low to medium rise and occasional high rise 13
development will be permitted in this Precinct 14
with buildings establishing strong axial 15
relationships with the river, including the 16
provision of vistas through/from the lower 17
levels of development. Ample open spaces, 18
landscaped areas and walkways will be 19
provided along the pedestrianised river setting 20
creating an important unifying element for the 21
broad mixture of land uses and building types 22
that will be accommodated. 23
18B.2.7 GATEWAY EAST AND GATEWAY 24
WEST PRECINCTS (GATEWAY 25
PRECINCTS) 26
These Precincts flank the main road entry to the 27
Core and will offer prime sites on which major 28
office and business developments and possibly 29
medium to high density residential uses can 30
locate with high accessibility and exposure. 31
Buildings may range from low to high rise, 32
provided variations in the height and scale are 33
visually and functionally appropriate. The 34
incorporation of landmark features with 35
building designs enhanced by attractive 36
landscape treatments will be encouraged given 37

the "gateway" importance of these Precincts. 1
18B.2.8 PARKWAY SERVICE PRECINCT 2
Located between the Robina Town Centre Core 3
and the main road entry of Robina Parkway, 4
this Precinct is intended to fulfil a 5
complementary role to the Core retail facilities. 6
Whilst it is anticipated that the Precinct will be 7
predominantly developed for a service station, 8
fast food outlets, restaurants and showrooms, 9
compatible uses including commercial premises 10
and various forms of entertainment, catering 11
and service businesses will also be appropriate. 12
A linear combination of low rise building 13
development reflecting an "urban scale" is 14
planned, although considerable variation is 15
envisaged in the architectural design. Facilities 16
that locate in the Parkway Service Precinct will 17
benefit from the high accessibility and exposure 18
to passing traffic offered by this strategic 19
location. 20
18B.3 Southern Frame Precincts 21
18B.3.1 AUTOMALL PRECINCT 22
This Precinct is located immediately south of 23
the Robina Parkway, offering excellent visibility 24
and accessibility to the arterial road system of 25
Robina Central. It is intended for development 26
for an automall in which car and marine 27
dealerships and associated uses will be grouped 28
together to achieve the convenience of `one 29
stop' shopping. Development is envisaged as 30
low rise buildings with attractive landscape 31
frontages presented as a unified whole and 32
complemented by carefully controlled identity 33
signage. 34
40
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
18B.3.2 MIXED USE PRECINCTS A, B AND C 1
These Precincts partly surround the automall 2
and offer similar high level visibility and 3
accessibility from the road system. They are 4
intended for mixed use developments, including 5
offices, commercial premises, service trades, 6
showrooms, `specialised home improvement' 7
uses, a service station and limited retail uses 8
such as shops and takeaway food outlets. 9
Precinct `B' in particular is primarily intended 10
for car care uses and service trades associated 11
with automobiles, trailered boats and caravans. 12
Development is envisaged as being 13
predominantly low rise with attractive 14
landscaped and pedestrianised frontages. 15
18B.3.3 SOUTH HILL PRECINCT 16
This linear Precinct runs south along the Pacific 17
Highway frontage from the Gateway East 18
Precinct. Development will be physically 19
separated from the highway by a densely 20
planted landscape and pathway corridor. The 21
Precinct is intended for predominantly low to 22
medium rise office buildings integrated with 23
other mixed uses, including service industries 24
and showrooms. Development should reflect a 25
strong integration between the architectural 26
design and landscape treatment to create 27
impressive `office park' environments. 28
18B.3.4 SOUTHERN VALE PRECINCT 29
Southern Vale is bounded by the arterial roads 30
of Reedy Creek Link Road and the Christine 31
Avenue extension, and located adjacent to the 32
proposed southern sports fields. Much of the 33
Precinct will be suitable for a range of quality 34
housing types and densities, office showroom 35
and business park development, mixed use 36
41
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
developments or combinations of these land 1
uses. Other uses that complement such 2
development, including convenience shopping, 3
child care centres and community facilities may 4
also be accommodated. Generally, low to 5
medium rise buildings are envisaged across the 6
Precinct. 7
This Precinct has not been planned for 8
immediate development and the particular mix 9
of final land uses will largely depend upon 10
market variables. Furthermore, it is likely that 11
this expansive Precinct will be divided into a 12
number of more manageable and land use 13
specific Precincts at a later stage. 14
18B.4 Northern Frame Precincts 15
18B.4.1 PREAMBLE 16
The Precincts of the Northern Frame are 17
controlled by the development code contained in 18
Part 11 which is based upon an existing 19
rezoning approval. As detailed planning takes 20
place it may become desirable to consider other 21
forms and intensities of development. 22
18B.4.2 PARK HILL AND WATERVIEW 23
PRECINCTS (RESIDENTIAL 24
PRECINCTS) 25
Consisting of four separate land parcels these 26
Precincts offer prime park and waterfront sites 27
committed for residential uses. Drawing on 28
performance criteria for design evolved from 29
first principles for each situation, a range of low 30
rise, quality housing types will be constructed 31
on various lot sizes. This will include terrace 32
houses developed in groups of two, three or 33
four. The Precincts will be extensively 34
landscaped to enhance their attractive open 35
42
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
space settings. 1
18B.4.3 CHELTENHAM DRIVE 2
RECREATION PRECINCT 3
This Precinct is primarily intended for the 4
development of recreational open space in some 5
form. It will be suitable for golf course 6
development or various informal and casual 7
entertainment and recreational pursuits, either 8
for private or public use. Given its `gateway' 9
importance at the east entry to Robina Central, 10
the Precinct will have a strong landscape design 11
emphasis. 12
18B.4.4 NORTHERN PLAIN PRECINCT 13
This Precinct comprises low lying land 14
extending south from Mudgeeraba Creek. It is 15
intended for development of an 18 hole 16
championship golf course and associated 17
clubhouse facilities. The golf course will 18
incorporate attractive lake features and extensive 19
landscaping. The clubhouse complex will be 20
low rise and offer the full range of services and 21
facilities associated with the operation and 22
management of the course. 23
18B.4.5 NORTH VIEW PRECINCT 24
It is anticipated that this Precinct will be 25
primarily developed for a range of choices in 26
low to medium density residential development 27
and may include resort hotel and/or other forms 28
of tourist accommodation and associated 29
facilities. Limited forms of complementary 30
uses such as child care centres, convenience 31
shops and recreation facilities will also be 32
appropriate. Generally low to medium rise 33
development with limited locations for high rise 34
buildings will capitalise on the adjacent golf 35

course outlook and desirable northerly 1
orientation. 2
Creation of Development Sections - Statement of Intent 3
18C It is intended that the land within each Precinct will be divided by 4
Robina into Development Sections. Determination of the area of 5
each Development Section will be made during the final stage of the 6
planning, development and marketing processes, at or about the 7
same time the subdivision process commences and just prior to 8
physical development of that land. 9
Until land is included in a Development Section the only plans of 10
subdivision in respect of that land which Council must seal and 11
release are those creating management lots or lots for transfer to 12
Council or the Crown. 13
At the point in time at which a Development Section is determined 14
by Robina, it will with the approval of Council determine the final 15
planning principles, land uses and development requirements and 16
guidelines for that section. Those principles, uses, requirements and 17
guidelines will be contained in a Plan of Development for the 18
Development Section to be prepared and lodged by Robina with 19
Council for approval. 20
In addition, the Plan of Development for each Development Section 21
will, where appropriate, address issues such as traffic circulation and 22
parking, architectural form, streetscaping, landscaping of private and 23
public open spaces, signage (both private and public) and urban 24
design. 25
Despite the provisions of a Plan of Development for a Development 26
Section, it is intended that an application for town planning consent 27
will continue to be required in respect of a permissible use. 28
Before an allotment can be developed in a Development Section 29
other than for the uses set out in the following Table, an application 30
for final development approval in respect of the final form of 31
development for that allotment must be made whether the 32
development is permitted subject to conditions or is a permissible 33
use which has been approved by Council. 34

whole or part of the land within a Precinct or Precincts to form a 11
Development Section and identifying it as such. 12
Upon creation of a Development Section, Robina must prepare and 13
lodge with Council a Plan of Development for that Development 14
Section which must contain, but is not limited to, the following:-- 15
18D.1 a plan of the land comprised in the Development Section; 16

Approval of Plan of Development by Council 12
18E Upon receipt of a Plan of Development for a Development 13
Section:-- 14
18E.1 The Council must, within 40 days of its receipt, approve 15
the Plan of Development or refuse to approve the Plan of 16
Development; 17
18E.2 Council may only refuse to approve a Plan of 18
Development if it is satisfied that it is inconsistent with the 19
provisions of this Agreement or does not properly 20
address the issues required to be included in a Plan of 21
Development; 22
18E.3 If the Council does not notify Robina within 40 days of 23
receipt of a Plan of Development for a Development 24
Section that it has been approved or refused, Robina may 25
by delivering by hand to the office of the Chief Executive 26
Officer a written notice stating it is delivered pursuant to 27
this Clause, require a response within 14 days of the date 28
of delivery of the notice; 29

Variation of Plan of Development by Robina before Transfer of Land 5
18F A Plan of Development may be varied by Robina before it transfers 6
any developable part of the land in that Development Section and 7
before development in that Development Section has been 8
completed. Upon Robina varying a Plan of Development it must 9
lodge the varied Plan of Development with Council which replaces 10
the previously approved Plan of Development. 11
Variation of Plan of Development after Robina Transfers Land 12
18G After Robina transfers a developable part of the land in a 13
Development Section, the Plan of Development may be varied:-- 14
18G.1 in the case of a minor variation, in respect of an allotment 15
in that Development Section, by the owner of that 16
allotment, lodging with Council the minor variation with 17
the consent in writing of Robina (if it is not the 18
Applicant); 19
18G.2 in the case of any other variation in respect of an allotment 20
in that Development Section, by the owner of that 21
allotment, in accordance with the provisions of this 22
Agreement applicable to applications for consent in 23
respect of a permissible use. 24
In clause 18F and this clause "developable part of the land" in a 25
Development Section means land that is able to be used or 26
developed for a lawful purpose and does not include land which is 27
required to be dedicated for road or transferred for a local 28

Minor Variation of a Plan of Development 1
18I A variation of a Plan of Development is a minor variation if:-- 2
18I.1 it does not vary the proposed intent of development for 3
the Development Section; 4
18I.2 it does not vary the permitted or permissible development 5
for that Development Section; 6
18I.3 it does not increase the gross floor area of buildings or 7
proposed buildings by more than 5%; 8
18I.4 it does not increase the site coverage of buildings or 9
proposed buildings by more than 10%; 10
18I.5 it does not increase the number of storeys above ground 11
level in buildings or proposed buildings or part of those 12
buildings; 13
18I.6 in Development Sections for residential purposes, it does 14
not increase the unit yield for housing development or 15
proposed housing development by more than 5%; 16
18I.7 it does not substantially alter the locations of proposed 17
ingress or egress from sites in the Development Section; 18
18I.8 it does not substantially decrease the provision and 19
location of proposed carparking for each site in the 20
Development Section; 21
18I.9 alterations to design and siting requirements pertaining to 22
architecture, landscape, streetscape, signage and design 23
elements (other than those requirements referred to above) 24
do not adversely affect the amenity or the likely future 25
amenity of the locality. 26
Master Development Plan 27
18J Robina must, from time to time, lodge with Council a master 28
development plan. 29
The plan must show to the extent possible the consolidation of 30
information shown on each Precinct plan, Plan of Development, 31
structure plan and open space and pathway network plan. 32
48
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
Robina must deliver to Council an updated master development plan 1
within fourteen (14) days of Council approving a Precinct plan, Plan 2
of Development, structure plan or open space and pathway network 3
plan. 4
Road and Public Transport Network 5
18K The structure plan shows the major transportation system proposed 6
for Robina Central. This system incorporates a rail corridor and a 7
bus-rail interchange at the terminus of the Brisbane to Gold Coast 8
rail link. It also includes the major road network which is 9
appropriate to meet the regional access needs and satisfies Robina's 10
obligations for roadworks as detailed in Part 3. 11
Robina Central incorporates a clear, formal structure of major roads 12
which will ensure convenient access and circulation of traffic. The 13
major roads in this structure are Robina Parkway and proposed road 14
D-I which follow a ridge that circles three sides of the Core. Major 15
connection roads extend out from the Core to link externally at three 16
interchanges along the Pacific Highway. Clear, axial circulation 17
routes shaped by the dominant natural characteristics of the land lead 18
from the Robina Parkway into each part of the Core. A network of 19
major and minor collector roads then extend throughout the 20
combined site to service all Precincts of the Inner Frame, Southern 21
Frame and Northern Frame. 22
The rail line and terminus has been located in conjunction with 23
Queensland Rail on the western side of the Core. Furthermore a 24
corridor for the future southern rail extension from Robina to 25
Coolangatta has been planned, with the final location to be 26
determined at a later time. 27
As the proposed rail line is likely to be essentially inter-urban rather 28
than intra-urban, it will function primarily as a commuter service 29
within the Brisbane to Gold Coast corridor. Its location therefore 30
favours office employment, and particularly government offices, to 31
encourage maximum benefit to Robina Central and maximum rail 32
usage. 33
Shoppers and workers from the more local Gold Coast region will 34
be served by a public transit distribution network, which it is 35
49
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
anticipated will be initially provided by bus, but may later include 1
other forms of public transport, focused on the rail terminus. The 2
network will be planned to meet broad community needs, including 3
distribution to other employment, educational, tourist and 4
entertainment nodes, as well as internal movements within Robina 5
Central. Links from the interchange and the Core through the 6
Southern Frame to the Bond University and environs are also 7
envisaged. 8
Open Space Network 9
18L Together with the road and public transport network, the major open 10
space and pathway system shown on Plan 2/6/1A provides a basic 11
framework to shape and link the total development. 12
The proposed open space system provides for two major 13
north-south linear park connections linking from the extensive flood 14
plain open space in the north to the University lake open space 15
system in the south - one linking along Robina Central lakeshore, 16
riverwalk and highway buffer and the other along the eastern power 17
easement. A further spine along the Mudgeeraba Creek has 18
potential to link through adjoining properties north to Carrara and 19
south-west to Mudgeeraba and Bonogin. 20
A series of sports fields are located along these spines and, together 21
with the proposed golf and water based recreational facilities, they 22
provide a strong recreational and leisure lifestyle orientation for 23
Robina Central for both resident and worker populations. 24
A network of major pedestrian/bicycle paths is proposed along these 25
open space corridors and major roads as an important part of the 26
transportation system linking Precincts within Robina Central to 27
each other and to the surrounding districts. 28
Open Space Network Plan 29
18M Major open space provisions highlighted on the open space and 30
pathway network plan, Plan 2/6/1A, incorporate the land that 31
satisfies Robina's obligations for parks, landscaping and pathway 32
contributions, and will be provided and developed in accordance 33
with Part 6. 34

Local Government (Robina Town Centre

Residential Uses 1
18N The concept of locating medium and high density residential uses 2
immediately adjoining focal points for commercial and community 3
activity has long been a principle of contemporary town planning 4
and is seen as an important objective for Robina Central. 5
The advantage of such a concept is best summarised as follows:-- 6
18N.1 Increased choice of residential stock 7
An increased variety of residential accommodation can be 8
provided to better meet the particular lifestyle needs of 9
different population segments. For example, there are 10
those with children in small households, the young, the 11
middle-aged, the elderly and people in a variety of 12
economic situations, from service industry workers or 13
shop assistants to professionals and executives who wish 14
to live close to work and facilities in a more urban 15
environment. 16
18N.2 A More Active and Diverse Environment 17
The addition of a residential population increases the 18
"people" activity, particularly after normal working hours 19
when offices are empty. This has a civilising influence 20
and helps create a safer and more diverse and urbane 21
environment to the benefit of all users of Robina Central. 22
18N.3 Extended Use of Facilities 23
An immediate residential population allows for the 24
extended use and more economical provision of all types 25
of facilities. 26
18N.4 Contribution to Urban Consolidation 27
The provision of housing at higher densities in Robina 28
Central allows for a more efficient and balanced use of 29
regional infrastructure, eg. roads, public transport, utility 30
and community services, as well as landscape 31
enhancement, and contributes to overall regional urban 32
consolidation. Population successfully accommodated in 33
Robina Central reduces the need for residential land at the 34
51
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
edge of urban areas. 1
For these advantages to be realised, a more flexible approach is 2
required towards planning and design than currently applies to 3
development in multi-unit residential zonings which have been 4
developed for suburban situations where segregation of residential 5
uses and compatibility with surrounding lower density development 6
have been traditionally considered desirable. 7
As a result, the combined site is designated for a target residential 8
population of 5,000 persons to be accommodated in development 9
designed under controls based on performance criteria developed 10
from first principles for each situation. 11
Landscape/Townscape Design and Siting Controls 12
18O It is recognised that a major objective will be to create an attractive 13
and environmentally sensitive development characterised by a 14
distinctive landscape and townscape and high levels of architectural 15
and landscape design. To achieve this, appropriate design and siting 16
controls will be determined for the various Precincts. 17
In general terms, the townscape character of the area north of the 18
Robina Parkway ridge is envisaged as more compact and urban in 19
character with generally higher rise buildings, while the southern 20
area will be lower rise and more office-park in character. 21
A landscaped buffer zone is proposed along most of the Pacific 22
Highway frontage to ensure a consistent landscape image is 23
maintained along this important edge. View corridors are proposed 24
at selected locations to allow motorists an awareness of the 25
proximity and scale of Robina Central. Plan 2/2/6 is a conceptual 26
plan of the buffer zone and view corridors. 27
Robina Central Plan Register 28
18P Council must maintain a separate register to be known as Robina 29
Central Plan Register in which it keeps all plans, maps and Plans of 30
Development approved by it under this Agreement which register is 31
to be available to and open for inspection by the public at all 32
reasonable times. Upon approval of a plan, map or Plan of 33
Development the Council must immediately place it in the register. 34

applicant is necessarily entitled to be granted consent for that use in 2
respect of land in a Development Section. The question of whether 3
or not consent will be granted and if so, the conditions to be 4
imposed, if any, is to be determined by Council, having regard to 5
the matters contained in Part 2 or in the Plan of Development for the 6
Development Section in which the land the subject of the application 7
is contained. 8

clause to the requirements and satisfaction of the Council; 20
153.1.8 The requirements contained in this Clause 153.1 may be 21
included in a Plan of Development. If these requirements 22
are included in a Plan of Development and specify the 23
work to be done, that specification is for the purpose of 24
this Clause 153.1 to be taken to be Council's specification. 25
153.2 In respect of every development in a Development Section the 26
person who undertakes that development or uses the site must:-- 27
153.2.1 have all buildings designed by a registered architect and all 28

application is made for final development approval that 16
there is insufficient access to toilet facilities and/or 17
parents' rooms for members of the public provided 18
within the Development Section or if it is proposed to 19
erect a building having a lesser floor area, the Council 20
may require, as a condition of final development approval, 21
payment of a monetary contribution towards the provision 22
of those facilities in adjacent or nearby areas. Any 23
contributions received by the Council must be expended, 24
at the Council's discretion, for the purpose for which it 25
was received; 26
153.2.6 ensure that buildings do not by reason of design, 27
orientation, siting, bulk, construction materials or colours, 28
have a detrimental effect on the amenity of development 29
in the Inner Frame and Southern Frame, adjoining 30
development or likely future development of land in those 31
Frames; 32
153.2.7 If the site is proposed to be developed for industrial 33
purposes:-- 34
153.2.7.1 not permit that development to exceed a 35
67
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment

(70%) unless the Council approves of a 2
higher percentage; 3
153.2.7.2 construct the development of materials which 4
are appropriate having regard to surrounding 5
development and the landscape setting; 6
153.2.8 ensure where development involves filling, draining or 7
changing the level of an allotment (except as otherwise 8
permitted by this Agreement):-- 9
153.2.8.1 that Council's requirements as to draining, 10

the use and where appropriate during the continuation of 18
the use; 19
153.2.10 The requirements contained in this Clause 153.2 may be 20
included in a Plan of Development. If those requirements 21
are included in a Plan of Development and specify the 22
work to be done, that specification is to be taken to be 23
Council's specification. 24
153.3 Each Plan of Development must take into account and where 25
relevant make provision for:-- 26
153.3.1 The minimum lot size and maximum number of 27
allotments; 28

Planning Agreement) Amendment
153.3.4 Maximum site coverage, the orientation of buildings on 1
the site, and that part of a site on which buildings may be 2
erected; 3
153.3.5 The heights of office or commercial buildings which may 4
vary from time to time depending upon the requirements 5
for office space both in terms of demand for floor areas as 6
well as the need to accommodate like uses in the same 7
building, for example, the need for government 8
departments or a large single tenant to be housed in one 9
building. The height of buildings, must not in any event 10
exceed eight storeys above average finished ground level 11
unless the Council approves of a higher level if it is 12
satisfied that a particular proposal for a higher building 13
will not: 14
153.3.5.1 contravene clause 153.2.2; 15
153.3.5.2 impose traffic loads beyond desirable limits; 16
153.3.5.3 otherwise create a traffic hazard; or 17
153.3.5.4 lead to the maximum equivalent population 18
for the proposed development contemplated 19
by this Agreement being significantly 20
exceeded; 21
153.3.6 In the case of high rise business uses, a maximum plot 22
ratio of four to one unless the Council approves of a 23
higher gross floor area if it is satisfied that the proposal 24
will not:-- 25
153.3.6.1 impose loads beyond desirable limits; 26
153.3.6.2 otherwise create a traffic hazard; or 27
153.3.6.3 lead to the maximum equivalent population 28
contemplated by this Agreement being 29
significantly exceeded; 30
153.3.7 Loading and unloading areas within the curtilage of the 31
development site, which are to be sealed, located 32
separately from car parking areas and readily accessible 33
from all tenancies in the site and designed so that vehicles 34

can enter and leave in forward gear; 1
153.3.8 Landscaped areas for recreational use, noise reduction, 2
enhancement or to screen unwanted uses; 3
153.3.9 Fencing for noise reduction, enhancement or to screen 4
unwanted uses; 5
153.3.10 Pedestrian walkways or arcades for the free and 6
unobstructed movement of pedestrian traffic; 7
153.3.11 Prevention of lighting likely to illuminate areas outside the 8
boundary of the development site creating a nuisance; 9
153.3.12 Parking of motor vehicles in accordance with clause 10
153.6. 11
153.3.13 Incorporation where appropriate of cantilevered or other 12

153.3.14 Controls and guidelines for advertising or information 14
signs within the Development Section whether within the 15
curtilage of an allotment or not; 16
153.3.15 In the case of development for residential purposes either 17
solely or in conjunction with other uses, developing 18
objective and performance criteria from first principles as 19
generally espoused in the AMCORD and AMCORD 20
(Urban) documents but recognising that each of those 21
principles may not be wholly appropriate for each 22
residential use for example when a residential use forms 23
part of a mixed use development. 24
153.4 Each Plan of Development may provide guidelines for any of the 25
following and where so provided the guidelines must be observed 26
and satisfied by the person who undertakes development or who 27
uses land:-- 28
153.4.1 In respect of buildings and fences:-- 29
-- the architectural design theme to be followed or 30
achieved; 31
-- the materials, colours, standard, quality and type 32
of external finishes to be used; 33
70
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
-- the responses required to ameliorate or take 1
advantage of the effects of climate, wind and sun; 2
-- the building footprint; 3
-- the finished level of allotments; 4
-- the maximum height of development. 5
153.4.2 In respect of landscaping:-- 6
-- the landscape design philosophy to be achieved 7
and maintained; 8
-- the general type, density and if appropriate the 9
maturity of plantings required; 10
-- the type, quality and colour of hard surfaces e.g. 11
roads, paths, carparking areas, retaining walls and 12
the like; 13
-- the design and location of street and play furniture; 14
-- broad requirements for plant establishment and 15
maintenance. 16
153.4.3 In respect of any other reasonable and relevant matters of 17
a like nature to those referred to in clause 153.4.1 and 18
153.4.2. 19
153.5 The development requirements and guidelines may consist in whole 20
or in part of plans or drawings. 21
153.6 Vehicle parking spaces must be provided for each development in a 22
Development Section in accordance with the principles, guidelines 23
and planning requirements following:-- 24
153.6.1 the integrated and overall planning of the development of 25
Robina Central (which is possible due to its large scale) 26
means that car parking can be provided in an overall 27
orderly and planned basis. This will provide adequate car 28
parking spaces within easy walking distance of each 29
development which will thereby avoid a proliferation of 30
unsightly car parking areas and a general wastage of land; 31
71
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
153.6.2 the Council's usual methods of determining its 1
requirements for provision of car parking are determined 2
by reference to tables which are calculated on the basis of 3
stand-alone developments of relatively small size and 4
therefore such tables represent only indicative levels of car 5
parking provisions which are not necessarily appropriate 6
to the proposed development of Robina Central because 7
of the scale, complexity, mass and relationship of the 8
developments proposed; 9
153.6.3 not all car parking generated by a development need be 10
provided on the site of that development and parking 11
requirements for each development may wholly or in part 12
be provided off-site; 13
153.6.4 as it is not possible to be specific about car parking 14
provisions at the date of this Agreement, it is appropriate 15
for car parking needs to be assessed and included in the 16
Plan of Development for each Development Section and 17
to be finally determined by Council having regard to the 18
Plan of Development and the proposed development 19
when considering an application for final development 20
approval; 21
153.6.5 the assessment for inclusion in the Plan of Development 22
must be carried out by a traffic engineer whose 23
qualifications and experience are acceptable to Council 24
taking into account some or all of the following 25
circumstances as appropriate:-- 26
153.6.5.1 the level of provision of public transport 27
facilities; 28
153.6.5.2 the likelihood of a generation of greater or 29
less than normal peak parking demand, 30
including requirements for staff; 31
153.6.5.3 the location of the Development Section or 32
site in relation to existing or proposed public 33
car parking areas and other parking areas; 34
153.6.5.4 the level of pedestrian/cycle accessibility; 35
72
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
153.6.5.5 the nature of the proposed use including 1
hours of operation and anticipated intensity; 2
153.6.5.6 the existing uses in the Precinct; 3
153.6.5.7 the levels and depth of the allotment or 4
allotments; 5
153.6.5.8 the convenience and safety of vehicle access; 6
153.6.5.9 the proposed layout and size of parking 7
spaces; 8
153.6.5.10 the provisions of this Agreement affecting 9
the Precinct, Development Section or site; 10
153.6.5.11 the integration, overall planning, the inter- 11
relationship and compatibility of proposed 12
development; 13
153.6.5.12 avoidance of proliferation of unsightly car 14
parks; 15
153.6.5.13 avoidance of over-provision of car parking 16
space; 17
153.6.5.14 the need to encourage the use of public 18
transport; 19
153.6.5.15 the amount of off-site parking spaces, 20
including kerbside parking spaces; and 21
153.6.5.16 such other factors as may seem to be relevant 22
and reasonable. 23
In this clause:-- 24
"off-site parking spaces" means parking spaces provided 25
on land other than the site, the development of which 26
requires the provision of parking spaces but which are 27
within the Precinct in which the development is situated 28
or, if not within that Precinct , within 400 metres of the 29
development. Off-site parking spaces need not 30
necessarily be on land owned by the person undertaking 31
the development to which they relate. 32
73
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
"on-site parking spaces" means parking spaces provided 1
within the curtilage of the development site to which they 2
relate. 3
153.6.6 When Robina delivers a Plan of Development to Council 4
for approval, Robina must include in that Plan of 5
Development an assessment described in clause 153.6.5 6
in relation to car parking needs for the Development 7
Section, which assessment must be considered by the 8
Council in determining the acceptability of the car parking 9
provisions contained in the Plan of Development. 10
If application is made for final development approval in 11
respect of a use or development substantially different (in 12
nature or scale) from what is contemplated by the Plan of 13
Development and by the assessment, the Council may 14
refuse to deal with that application until an amended 15
assessment is furnished by the applicant which takes the 16
particular site and the relevant development into account. 17
If an amended assessment is furnished the Council may 18
vary the car parking provisions contained in the Plan of 19
Development in respect of that development. 20
153.6.7 Developments may satisfy parking space requirements by 21
the provision of on-site or off-site parking spaces or by a 22
combination of both. 23
If the applicant for final development approval indicates in 24
the application that some parking space requirements are 25
to be provided by off-site parking spaces the Council may 26
impose as a condition of granting final development 27
approval that the applicant must furnish a certificate from 28
the owner of any land that the required number of parking 29
spaces within the curtilage of that land as identified in that 30
certificate:-- 31
153.6.7.1 are provided or will be provided on that land; 32
and 33
153.6.7.2 are available or will be available to the 34
applicant and persons having resort to the 35

applicant's proposed development. 1
153.6.8 Before accepting a certificate, the Council must satisfy 2
itself that:-- 3
153.6.8.1 the parking spaces and the parking 4
arrangements the subject of the certificate, are 5
adequate; and 6
153.6.8.2 the relevant land is capable of providing the 7
car parking spaces the subject of the 8
certificate having regard to existing 9
certificates and other car parking required to 10
be provided on that land; and 11
153.6.8.3 if the parking spaces have not been physically 12
constructed, the Council must also satisfy 13
itself that construction of these parking 14
spaces will be completed not later than 15
completion of construction of the 16
development to which it relates and will be 17
available for use as represented in the 18
certificate. 19
153.6.9 A person must not use or occupy, and the Council must 20
not issue a certificate of classification in respect of, a 21
building forming part of a development in respect of 22
which off-site parking spaces are to be provided unless it 23
has a certificate for the required number of off-site 24
parking spaces and the spaces (or equivalent spaces) are 25
constructed and available for use. 26
153.6.10 Off-site parking spaces provided in respect of a 27
development must continue to be available for use while 28
that development remains in existence and no 29
redevelopment or other use of land containing those 30
parking spaces in respect of which a certificate has been 31
accepted by Council may be undertaken unless off-site 32
parking spaces, either on that or other land which are 33
comparable in character and convenience to those lost, are 34
provided to replace those lost. 35
75
Local Government (Robina Town Centre
Planning Agreement) Amendment
153.6.11 Nothing in this Agreement prevents Robina or other 1
persons from providing off-site parking for monetary 2
reward but, where a certificate is furnished which refers to 3
spaces provided or to be provided in a commercially 4
operated car park, the Council must take into account the 5
commercial terms and arrangements applying to that 6
parking in determining whether or not it is satisfied of the 7
matters referred to in clause 153.6.8. 8
153.6.12 The Council, in assessing applications for final 9
development approval to use land as a car park, may take 10
into consideration the desirability of concentrating vehicle 11
parking in separate and distinct places and of assisting to 12
create a multiplicity of owners of vehicle parking stations 13
so as to offer a choice for vehicle park users and avoid 14
undue concentration of ownership and control of car parks 15
in Robina Central. 16
Relaxation Power 17
154 The Council may with the consent of Robina dispense with or 18
modify any of the requirements or guidelines in clause 153 if it 19
considers a dispensation or modification is justified, having regard 20
to: 21
154.1 the existing development in the area; 22
154.2 the existing and likely future amenity of the area; 23
154.3 the nature of the proposed use; 24
154.4 the provisions of the strategic plan; 25
154.5 the provisions of the relevant Plan of Development; 26
