TRADES & SERVICES ZONING IN THE FRASER COAST COMES OF AGE
Some clarity on the trades & services zone usage from council at last
As discussed today, a Warehouse is ‘self-assessable’ within the Services and Trade zone under the planning scheme provided you comply with the following:
Copies of these codes are below for your convenience.
Urban Locality Code – Services Trade Zone-1
Works Services and Infrastructure Code-1
Please also note that the proposed amendments to the planning scheme are currently being publicly notified and that additional uses are proposed to be self assessable (provided compliance with acceptable solutions), being as follows:
Service Industry – means the use of premises involving the manufacturing, assembly, altering or repairing of products, or an industrial activity that is intended to provide industry services to the general public or is similar to those activities set out below:
§ Bakery product manufacturing;
§ Car washing station;
§ Cleaning contractor’s establishment;
§ Clothing manufacture;
§ Dry-cleaning;
§ Electrical goods manufacture, maintenance or repair;

§ Ice works;
§ Laboratory services;
§ Locksmith;
§ Office equipment manufacture, maintenance or repair;
§ Printing and Publishing;

§ Sporting and recreational goods, manufacture, maintenance or repair; and
§ Upholstering.
The term includes ancillary activities that support the industrial use such as administration offices or sales and display areas for products manufactured, assembled or finished on the site. The term does not include any use defined as Industry, Special Industry or Trade and Hardware Supplies as separately defined.
Trade and Hardware Supplies – means the use of premises for the display of trade and hardware supplies for sale or hire, including household fixtures, timber, tools, paint, wallpaper, plumbing supplies and the like. The term does not include the sale of kitchen or dining wares, camping goods, furniture or other household products or home wares. The term does not include a Shop, Showroom or Outdoor Sales Premises as separately defined.
It is also noted that the amendments propose to remove the self-assessable provisions for a Warehouse.
