Northshore Hamilton PDA – Development Scheme Amendment
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
The Northshore Hamilton Priority Development Area (PDA) Development Scheme came into effect on 3 July 2009.
Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) has undertaken a review of the development scheme to ensure it continued to operate effectively as the overarching planning document for the PDA.
The scope of the review included examining:
the vision for the PDA to ensure it was contemporary and appropriate
land use and infrastructure planning to support the vision
development requirements in the development scheme to guide new development.
The review resulted in a proposed amendment to the development scheme and preparation of a draft Development Charges and Offset Plan (DCOP) that addresses the planning and funding of infrastructure required to service development in Northshore Hamilton.

Has consideration been given to allow balconies on current buildings such as Flare to have privacy screens added to them? Flare was not designed to provide privacy for buildings being built close to it. Screens would also help to minimise wind issues when other buildings are built.

Thank you for your query.
The proposed Northshore Hamilton PDA Development Scheme amendment has been prepared to consider the interface between existing buildings and proposed new development. The draft document contains a range of provisions to guide the assessment of new development with respect to privacy and climatic response, such as sun and wind. These provisions include, but are not limited to, setbacks, minimum tower separation distances, building design, building orientation and landscaping. The design and integration of shading and screening structures has been identified as an important aspect of urban design and building appearance outcomes expected from new development, in the context of existing development.
For existing apartment occupants who want to investigate the potential of establishing shading or screening devices to building balconies, the first step would be contacting the building body corporate to determine what body corporate rules or restrictions may apply and whether body corporate consent is necessary. Following that, the need for other approvals, such as planning approvals, can be determined.
