The draft Redcliffe Station Activity Centre Plan identifies how land within the precinct will be managed in terms of zoning, reservation and R-Coding. It also includes statutory controls which relate to how the land can be developed and used. It is intended that these elements will be consolidated into Local Planning Scheme No. 15.
 
Here is a summary of the proposed zoning and reservation of land and other statutory controls.
 

Zoning

The draft Activity Centre Plan proposes two zones within the precinct – the ‘Mixed Use’ and ‘Residential’ zones.

The ‘Mixed Use’ zone

This zone covers approximately 8.4 hectares of land immediately surrounding the Redcliffe Train Station and along Great Eastern Highway. The ‘Mixed Use’ zone aims to:

• Provide a wider variety of active uses on street level which are compatible with residential and other non-active uses on upper levels;
• Allow a mix of varied but compatible land uses to be developed, such as housing, offices, showrooms, amusement centres and eateries which will not create noise issues or have a negative impact on the health, welfare and safety of people who live in the area.

The ‘Residential’ zone

This zone covers approximately 21.1 hectares of land, including existing residential areas which do not fall within the station precinct or the existing mixed use area along Great Eastern Highway. The ‘Residential’ zone aims to:

• Provide a range of housing options, with a choice of residential densities, to meet the needs of the community;
• Facilitate and encourage high quality design, built form and streetscapes throughout residential areas;
• Provide a range of non-residential uses to serve residents, workers and visitors in the zone.

Reservation

Certain areas of land in the precinct are reserved for:

• Public open space – approximately 3.79 hectares of land is to be reserved for public open space along the former Brearley Avenue road reserve;
• Railways – associated with the Redcliffe Train Station; 
• Schools – the ‘Public Purpose – Primary School’ reservation over Redcliffe Primary School will remain.

R-Coding

Assigning an R-coding to land provides a basis for controlling the intensity of residential development and built form through applying the Residential Design Codes. A mix of medium to high-density R-Codes will apply in this precinct:

• The ‘Mixed Use’ zone (immediately surrounding the Redcliffe Station and along Great Eastern Highway) will constitute the ‘Centre’ and ‘Urban Corridor’ precincts and be assigned an ‘R-AC0’ coding; 
• Land immediately surrounding the Centre Precinct will be assigned an ‘R-AC3’ coding;
• All other land within Development Area 6 (DA6) will be given an ‘R100’ or ‘R60’ coding.

Land use control

The draft Activity Centre Plan highlights properties which could be affected by transport noise from Great Eastern Highway, Tonkin Highway and Dunreath Drive. This makes these areas subject to the requirements of State Planning Policy 5.4 – Road and Rail Noise.

The draft Activity Centre Plan also shows specific areas as ‘bushfire prone’, which makes these areas subject to the requirements of State Planning Policy 3.7 – Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas.
