Item 1: Strategic framework
Summary
Include appropriate assessment benchmarks for the key development sites.
Explanation
The key development sites will be included in two zones in City Plan:
(1) Major tourism zone (The Spit northern, southern and eastern precincts); and
(2) Waterfront and marine industry zone (The Spit marine industry precinct).
City officers note that currently under City Plan’s Strategic framework, the Major tourism zone is a non-
urban area. Minor changes have been made to the Strategic framework to ensure the new major
tourism zone precincts are urban areas, whilst maintaining other Major tourism zoned areas throughout
the City as non-urban, consistent with current policy. It was important for these areas to be urban areas
in City Plan, given the master plan outcomes for the key development sites are for urban activities. To
facilitate this change, land included within the Major tourism zone precincts are now identified as part of
“The Spit tourism area” for the purposes of the Strategic framework. To create consistency across the
amendment, the remaining land included within the Waterfront and marine industry zone are now
identified as part of “The Spit marine industry area”.
Appropriate assessment benchmarks have been included throughout the Strategic framework to give
effect to the outcomes of the master plan and to provide a line of sight to the zone codes and overlay.
To reflect the changes to the Strategic framework, the Strategic framework maps 1, 2 and 5 have also
been updated.
State interests considered
Ministerial direction
The changes comply with Ministerial Direction to the Gold Coast City Council under Section 26 of the
Planning Act 2016, by including appropriate assessment benchmarks for each key development lot.

Item 2: The Spit Master Plan elements overlay code
Summary
Introduce a new The Spit Master Plan elements overlay and overlay code to regulate built form
and public space/realm elements as identified in The Spit Master Plan.
Explanation
The Spit Master Plan elements overlay and overlay code is a necessary requirement to ensure
appropriate assessment benchmarks relating to built form and public space/realm are regulated to
deliver the unique characteristics of amendment area, as referenced in The Spit Master Plan. Including
these provisions in an overlay ensures, to the extent there is any inconsistency with other codes, the
outcomes of the overlay code prevail.
City officers note that the public realm elements identified in this overlay are to:
(a) be delivered in accordance with State Government requirements as set out in the relevant
Development Agreement;
(b) remain in either State Government or private ownership; and
(c) not become trunk infrastructure.
Consequential changes have been made to give effect to the new overlay and overlay code.
State interests considered
Ministerial direction
The changes comply with Ministerial Direction to the Gold Coast City Council under Section 26 of the
Planning Act 2016, by including appropriate assessment benchmarks for each key development lot.
The Spit Master Plan
The assessment benchmarks have been drafted having regard to the city wide strategies and the big
picture strategies in the master plan.
State Planning Policy, July 2017
State interests relevant to this change include:
Guiding Principles
Drafting of the overlay code focuses on the delivery of outcomes and uses positive language to respond
the outcomes of The Spit Master Plan. Where necessary, prescriptive language has been used to
ensure the outcomes of The Spit Master Plan are expressed to promote confidence to the community
and developers about the expected development outcomes for the area.
Liveable Communities
The overlay code generally relies upon:
• city wide design principles that have been endorsed as part of the Our City Our Plan amendment
package (i.e. Major update 2 and 3 amendment) to the City Plan and the Site context and urban
design planning scheme policy; and
• existing development provisions from the other zone codes in the City Plan; and
• new development provisions endorsed as part of the Our City Our Plan amendment package.
Specific changes have been made to these principles to ensure the outcomes of the Master Plan are
generally delivered. As such, the state interest for Liveable Communities is considered to be met.

Item 3: Zoning change and zone codes
Summary
Introduce new zone precincts into the Major tourism zone and Waterfront and marine industry
zone.
Explanation
The key development sites will be included in two zones in City Plan:
(1) Major tourism zone (The Spit northern, southern and eastern precincts); and
(2) Waterfront and marine industry zone (The Spit marine industry precinct).
The Spit Master Plan Area (the master plan area) (Figure 1) is comprised of seven precincts. The key
development sites are only located within two of these precincts, being The Village Centre and The
Southern Gateway (Table 1). The intent of The Village Centre is for a vibrant place that provides an
exciting range of retail, entertainment, cultural, accommodation and commercial activities for the local
community and visitors. The intent of the Southern Gateway is to provide an attractive entry to The Spit.

Planning and Environment Committee Meeting 29 April 2020 Adopted Report
The Ministerial Direction requires the amendment to be made by 30 July 2020. Given this requirement,
when determining the most appropriate zoning designation for the key development sites, City officers
considered it essential that the proposed zoning designation resulted in minimal disruption to the City
Plan (i.e. minimal consequential changes to the Strategic Framework) and the anticipated land uses
generally aligned with the purpose of the zone. The amendment area is currently located within the
Community facilities zone, Open space zone and Waterfront and marine industry zone of the City Plan,
as shown in Figure 2. The suitability of the master plan outcomes for each key development site is
presented in Table 1.

is essential. The development outcomes on
these sites are for marine relates activities.
Given the lack of suitable outcomes shown in Table 1, City officers are recommending a change to the
zoning designation of a number of the key development sites to reflect the master plan outcomes.
Analysis
When determining the most appropriate zoning designation for the key development sites, City officers
considered it essential that the proposed zoning designation results in minimal disruption to the City
Plan (i.e. minimal consequential changes to the Strategic Framework) and the anticipated land uses
generally aligned with the purpose of the zone.
Existing Waterfront and marine industry zone
As detailed in Table 1, when reviewing the outcomes of the master plan for key development sites that
are currently in the Waterfront and marine industry zone, the suitability of the current zoning designation
was generally consistent with the outcomes of the master plan identified.
However, during the preliminary state interest review, the Department requested several key
development sites that were proposed to be retained in the Waterfront and marine industry zone to be
included within the same zone as the key development site to the north. The Department requested
these changes to allow for flexibility in the sale and delivery of these sites.
Therefore, it is proposed to:
i. maintain part of Lot 504 on WD5735 within the Waterfront and marine industry zone; and
ii. create a new zone precinct named ‘The Spit marine industry precinct’ in the Waterfront and
marine industry zone; and
iii. rezone Lot 503 on WD6249 and part of Lot 504 on WD5735 to Major Tourism zone.
The creation of a zone precinct for this area would ensure that the unique characteristics of the master
plan could be appropriately reflected in the City Plan. For example, specific built form requirements are
sought in the master plan in these areas that would not be desirable in other Waterfront and marine
industry areas in the City, such as the Gold Coast marine precinct.
The proposed zoning changes to Lot 503 on WD6249 and Lot 504 on WD5735 are illustrated in Figure
3.

Planning and Environment Committee Meeting 29 April 2020 Adopted Report
Zoning designation for the remaining land parcels
As detailed in Table 1, when reviewing the outcomes of the master plan for the remaining key
development sites in The Spit amendment area, the suitability of the current zoning designation was not
consistent with the outcomes of the master plan. Given that all of these remaining key development
sites are located within the Village Centre Precinct, applying a consistent zone for these key
development sites would provide for a cohesive waterfront destination in accordance with the master
plan. This would also help minimise the complexity of the amendment, and consequently, the impact on
City Plan.
City officers undertook a zoning options analysis for the remaining key development sites, evaluating
the existing zones in City Plan to determine the most appropriate zoning designation. City officers
determined the outcomes of the master plan would be best delivered through either the Major tourism
zone or the Mixed use zone. The Centre zone was not considered appropriate given the potential
impact to the city’s centre hierarchy and the fact there are no Performance outcomes or Acceptable
outcomes for this zone.
Upon further analysis, City officers concluded the Major tourism zone was the preferred approach:
• subject to minor changes, a Major tourism zone designation would result in less consequential
changes throughout the City Plan, namely the Strategic Framework; and
• the current table of assessment for both zones indicates the Major tourism zone is more
compatible with the land uses envisaged in the master plan.
Based on these findings, the Department agreed the remaining key development sites should be
included within the Major tourism zone. Upon review the key development sites, there were three
distinctive areas, each with their own unique characteristics. As such, the following new zone precincts
are proposed:
• The Spit northern tourism precinct;
• The Spit southern tourism precinct; and
• The Spit eastern tourism precinct.
The proposed zoning changes for the remaining key development sites are illustrated in Figure 3.

Planning and Environment Committee Meeting 29 April 2020 Adopted Report
State interests considered
Ministerial direction
The changes comply with Ministerial Direction to the Gold Coast City Council under Section 26 of the
Planning Act 2016, by
• including appropriate assessment benchmarks for each key development lot; and
• including each key development lot in a zone (or zones) that is or are compatible with the uses
shown in the master plan for each of the key development lots.
The Spit Master Plan
The assessment benchmarks have been drafted having regard to the city wide strategies and the
outcomes in The Spit Master Plan. The zoning for each site aligns with the outcomes of the master plan,
except for those changes requested specifically from the Department which defers from the master
plan.
State Planning Policy, July 2017
State interests relevant to this change include:
Guiding Principles
Drafting of the zone code focuses on the delivery of outcomes and uses positive language to respond
the outcomes of The Spit Master Plan. Where necessary, prescriptive language has been used to
ensure the outcomes of The Spit Master Plan are expressed to promote confidence to the community
and developers about the expected development outcomes for the area.
Housing supply and diversity and Liveable communities
The proposed zoning changes are located in existing urban areas under the planning scheme
(Community Facilities and Waterfront and marine industry), excluding a small portion of land on the
eastern side of Seaworld Drive, which is currently open space. It is noted that this area of open space is
directly adjacent to Medium density residential zone to the north and contains existing buildings and
structures.
The proposed amendment is located within the City’s priority infrastructure area and is surrounded by a
mixture of resorts, theme parks and community infrastructure and is currently serviced.
It is important to note that further planning scheme amendments will be considered which may facilitate
appropriate zoning outside of the amendment area. These future amendments will provide a mixture of
land uses to contribute to destination that exemplifies a balance between tourism, recreation, leisure
experiences and the environment, as envisaged by the master plan.
Development and construction
The proposed amendment will be located on State Land which will be subject to future lease
arrangements. The proposed zoning seeks to facilitate outcomes of the Spit Master Plan. Through
consultation, this area was identified as an appropriate area for future development opportunities, with
other State Land areas to be utilised for recreation and conservation purposes.
Tourism
A key strategy of the Spit Master Plan is to build and strengthen on the existing capabilities of the Spit
as being an area known for tourism and recreational opportunities. The proposed Major Tourism Zone
will capitalise upon the existing opportunities of The Spit as being an iconic tourist destination by
encouraging a mixed use waterfront tourism destination.
Biodiversity
Based upon the online SPP mapping, no MLES or MSES is present in the amendment area, excluding a
small portion of land on the eastern side of Seaworld Drive which is currently Open Space. In the
context of the Spit Master Plan, this area is very minor. Future development will require assessment
against the biodiversity overlay code under the planning scheme to mitigate any potential impacts,
where triggered by the overlay. Based upon the online SARA mapping, Koala habitat is not present on
the site.

Planning and Environment Committee Meeting 29 April 2020 Adopted Report
Cultural heritage
It is understood that the State Government has undertaken consultation with traditional owners
throughout the master planning process. Any reflection of these interests would have been reflected in
the master plan and reflected through the State Governments ongoing consultation with these traditional
owners. It is noted that the amendment area contains a local heritage place, being the Humphreys Boat
Shed and Slipway Remnants, any future development will require consideration against the Heritage
overlay code to conserve its cultural heritage significance.
Coastal environment and water quality
The proposed zoning changes are located in existing urban areas under the planning scheme
(Community facilities and Waterfront and marine industry), excluding a small portion of land on the
eastern side of Seaworld Drive which is currently Open Space. It is noted that this area of Open Space
is directly adjacent to Medium density residential zone to the north and contains existing buildings and
structures. The proposed extension of this urban zoning is logical to facilitate the outcomes of the
master plan.
Natural hazards, risk and resilience
The subject site is partially located within the flood hazard, medium storm tide inundation area and
erosion prone area. The majority of the Spit area is located within the erosion prone area and medium
storm tide inundation areas and has been subject to extensive development to the north and south of
the amendment area. As the proposed zoning change is as a result of a Ministerial Direction, a fit for
purpose risk assessment is not deemed necessary given the changes are consistent with the Ministerial
Direction.
A large portion of the subject site is located outside of the erosion prone area and flood area, with future
development requiring setbacks from the waters edge. Existing natural landforms will assist in
minimising impacts of coastal erosion through outcome 5.13 of the Spit Masterplan, which seeks to
maintain vegetation adjacent to the Broadwater. Each lot has the ability to design future development
with flood free vehicular access to Sea World Drive.
Existing adjacent developed areas have been required to construct a revetment wall to minimise the risk
of erosion and storm tide inundation. It is likely that a revetment wall will be required in areas where
vegetation buffers are not present.
It is noted that the development outcomes of the subject site will be limited to three storeys or 15
metres, which is consistent with surrounding developments. Impacts from the natural hazards (flood and
coastal erosion), will be mitigated under the planning scheme by elevating any accepted development
land uses to accepted, subject to requirements which will require assessment against the coastal
erosion hazard overlay code and the flood overlay code.
South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017 (ShapingSEQ)
State interests relevant to this change include:
Grow – Efficient land use
The amendment area is located within the Urban Footprint of ShapingSEQ.
Prosper – REC’s and Tourism
The site is located with close proximity to the Southport-Broadbeach REC. This REC is a corridor of
activity, which includes health and knowledge, cultural and creative, commercial and corporate services,
tourism and higher order consumer functions. Although the site is not located within the REC, there is
significant opportunity for these changes to contribute the tourism and higher order consumer functions
of the REC given the areas unique characteristics.
A key strategy of the master plan is to build and strengthen on the existing capabilities of the Spit as
being an area known for tourism and recreational opportunities. This area has been specifically
identified within the master plan, as an area for residential, commercial and retail development.
Sustain - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and Regional landscapes

Item 4: Tables of assessment
Summary
Introduce tables of assessment to regulate levels of assessment.
Explanation
The key development sites will be included in two zones in City Plan:
(1) Major tourism zone (The Spit northern, southern and eastern precincts); and
(2) Waterfront and marine industry zone (The Spit marine industry precinct).
Given the scope of the Ministerial Direction, the key development sites are only located across two
precincts of the master plan, being The Village Centre and The Southern Gateway. The master plan
prescribes land use outcomes for the key development sites.
City officers, together with the Department, have aligned each land use contemplated by the master
plan with a City Plan land use definition. The result of this alignment exercise is presented in Table 2.

City officers have considered various ways in which the tables of assessment should operate, having
regard to the proposed structure of the required updates to reflect the intent of the master plan in City
Plan.
The various options considered by City officers included:
• Option 1: per key development sites, as identified in the Ministerial Direction.
• Option 2: the extent of each zone precinct; or
City officers determined applying a table of assessment by:
• per key development sites (Option 1) is not appropriate as this level of prescription may result
in future unintended consequences should lot boundaries change and does not offer any level
of flexibility for the establishment of alternative land uses that may be considered appropriate /
consistent with the master plan.
• the extent of each zone precinct (Option 2) is the most appropriate option because the
outcomes for the master plan for each precinct are generally compatible and will allow an
appropriate degree of flexibility for the establishment of land uses across each precinct;
Therefore it is recommended the table of assessment for the amendment is applied per precinct within
each zone and the land uses identified in Table 2 are shown to be code assessable. Other essential
land uses are recommended to be accepted or accepted subject to requirement, consistent with current
City Plan policy.
State interests considered
Ministerial direction
Land uses envisaged by the master plan are either code or accepted development. It is noted that the
Ministerial direction only applies to land within the lots listed in table 1 that is located above the highest
astronomical tide.
