DRAFT MAJOR DEVELOPM ENT PLAN DIRECT FACTORY OUTLET EXTENSION 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The proposal described in this Draft Major Development Plan (MDP) concerns Stage 4 (extension) of the Direct Factory Outlet (DFO) centre located within the Airport Village Precinct. The proposed development footprint and layout is provided in Appendix B. The existing DFO was subject to an approved MDP issued in 2004. The centre was constructed in 3 stages between 2004 and 2008 with Stage 1 opening to the public in 2005. The DFO has a Net Lettable Area (NLA) of 2 21,307m which is accommodated in two single storey buildings, currently containing approximately 135 tenancies. The existing DFO Site Plan is provided as Appendix A. The existing and proposed DFO is to be supported by associated facilities including new car parking spaces in a new multi-story car park; truck manoeuvring, service areas and loading docks; taxi ranks and bus stop facilities. The site is landscaped, with on-site provision for management of stormwater drainage and water quality treatment. Current access is via The Circuit and The Boulevard (roundabouts) which connect onto Airport Drive, a priority road link to the city’s principal arterial road network. The DFO retail concept which offers leading Australian and International brands or surplus goods that are out of season, seconds or samples for sale at consistently below normal retail price has proved highly successful. The centre attracts visitors and shoppers from a wide catchment area across metropolitan Brisbane and neighbouring Local Government Areas such as the Moreton Bay Regional Council and Redland City. The centre offers a different marketing model to other shopping centres with trading hours of 10am - 6pm, 7 days a week. The extension is consistent with the Brisbane Airport Corporation’s Master Plan which supports continuous improvement to the amenities, services and overall shopping experience being offered to the Brisbane Airport, Airport Village and DFO centre visitors. 1.2 Report Structure Section 2 of this report describes the project that is the subject of this draft MDP. Section 3 outlines the legislative context within which the project is being developed, having regard to relevant federal, state and local legislation and policy. Section 4 defines the scope of the assessment and the methodology used in the assessment of environmental impacts associated with the proposal. Section 5 details the environmental assessment and measures proposed to manage or mitigate any potential impacts. Sections 6 and 7 provide a summary of the sustainability elements and environmental effects of the proposal. 1.3 Project Proponent All works associated with the proposed facility are on land within the existing boundary of the Brisbane Airport.

DRAFT MAJOR DEVELOPM ENT PLAN DIRECT FACTORY OUTLET EXTENSION 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 Project Summary The proposed development is the extension of the existing DFO Centre. Physically, this includes: an eastern extension to the existing southern DFO building to accommodate additional retail tenancies; a new multi-level car park located adjacent to the northern part of the DFO building; retail plaza area which is likely to accommodate alfresco dining and a mixed-use commercial building (with offices at first floor level); and a redeveloped pedestrian walkway connecting the DFO, plaza and Village Market components of the Airport Village precinct and children’s play area. Detailed Plans of the proposed development are provided in Appendix B. These components of the development are discussed in further detail below. 2.1.1 Extension to DFO DFO extension is a functional addition of the existing centre and will create a greater level of connectivity and integration with the surrounding Airport Village Precinct. The extension is located on the eastern side of the southern DFO building and will be constructed with consistent design, materials and height to the current centre. As with the current DFO, the extension will be an air conditioned, single level building, with an open plan layout, high ceilings and wide walkways allowing ease of pedestrian movements along the shopping mall. A high degree of internal flexibility is provided to enable tenancies to be sized and constructed to meet the specific needs of future lessees. 2 The proposed development will provide approximately 4,700m of additional Net Lettable Area (NLA), representing an approximate 22% increase to the current DFO centre. 2.1.2 Retail Plaza & Pedestrian Walkways 2 The proposed development includes a retail plaza with possible alfresco dining plaza (of approximately 600m NLA) located between the proposed DFO extension and the new multi-level car park. This area will be developed with a high level of public amenity and landscaping to soften the built form and create a highly attractive entrance to the DFO. The plaza will function as a ‘high street’ pedestrian link between the DFO and uses within the Airport Village Precinct including the Village Markets and Brisbane Airport Corporation offices. “Shop-Top” commercial offices 2 (of approximately 600m NLA) will be developed at a first floor above the new retail/dining outlets. These st tenancies will have a connection to the 1 floor of the multi-level car park. The plaza will also incorporate a children’s play area. A proposed vertical transport zone located at the eastern end of the retail plaza will provide an attractive, convenient and highly visual pedestrian connection (including potential travelators) linking the new multi-level car park, to the commercial offices, the plaza, DFO entrance and the broader pedestrian network across the Airport Village Precinct. 2.1.3 Multi-Level Car park The new multi-level car park is located to the north of the proposed retail plaza area and the east of the DFO Centre. The proposed car park will provide approximately 1,160 parking spaces across up to 4 levels. There are currently a total of 1,856 parking spaces provided on the site, equating to a parking rate of 2 2 approximately 1 space per 10m NLA for the existing 21,307m NLA. This equates to approximately 1 space per 2 2 11m GFA for existing 23,440m GFA. Brisbane Airport Corporation Pty Ltd 6
DRAFT MAJOR DEVELOPM ENT PLAN DIRECT FACTORY OUTLET EXTENSION The proposal includes plans to replace the existing north-eastern car park of about 560 spaces with up to 4 levels in a multi-storey parking station with approximately 1,160 parking spaces. Thus the DFO and office area will have a total combined parking provision of approximately 2,459 spaces. This equates to approximately 1 space per 2 9.6m NLA. The maximum building height of the car park will be approximately 14m above ground level. 2.1.4 Access Arrangements Current road access arrangements are maintained from both The Circuit and The Boulevard (roundabouts) with connection onto Airport Drive. 9th Avenue will be reconfigured to maintain local access into the car parking areas and provide passenger and bus bay facilities in a low speed traffic environment. 2.2 Project Justification and Objectives The planning context (justification) for the proposed development is provided in the Brisbane Airport - 2009 Master Plan. The vision for the Brisbane Airport is “to transform Brisbane Airport from a city airport to an Airport City” by: positioning Brisbane Airport as a premier airport and major business centre with a multi-modal transport hub; growing Brisbane Airport as a leading economic engine and gateway to the east coast of Australia; creating a business environment that values partnerships ,people ,quality of life and community engagement; and adopting a proactive and sustainable approach to sustainable management. The vision is delivered through the Brisbane Airport’s land use strategy which has been prepared to increase the airport’s contribution to the regional economy and respond to market demand with opportunities identified to provide for a mix of business, retail, industrial and tourism activities. DFO extension addresses the vision by: Meeting the demand for increased NLA in the existing DFO centre; Improving the existing centre’s amenities and attractiveness to visitors through planned upgrades and improvements; Enhancing the range of services and facilities available in the Airport Village precinct to both the on-airport workforce and visitors to the Brisbane Airport; Satisfying car parking demands within a multi-level building that provides highly accessible, convenient and all weather protected parking spaces; Extending a pedestrian spine through the Airport Village; Improving the amenity of the public realm with the development of a pedestrian walkway flanked by restaurants, hotels, green space and urban art; Increasing investment in infrastructure and generating employment opportunities during construction and operational phases; and Providing a development that achieves BAC’s overall vision for Airport Village and the development objectives for the Brisbane Airport. 2.3 Location of Proposed Development The proposed development is an extension of the existing DFO centre and adjoining land uses at Airport Village. It is a north-easterly extension of the existing building predominately facing Ninth Avenue, the Village Markets and the BAC Headquarters building. It forms part of the Airport Village precinct.

In particular, the DFO extension will be a steel frame construction, with pre-cast concrete walls, concrete floors and colorbond metal roof. External finish and façade treatments will be generally consistent with the existing DFO. The proposed multi-level car park will be a primarily concrete construction with external façade treatments to provide visual interest and reduce building bulk. The retail plaza with mixed uses including first floor offices will be developed with a high level of visual interest and include glass windows at both the retail and office level and a range of light weight timber and aluminium elements to create the desired streetscape. This area will be enhanced by soft and hard landscape elements to improve way findings and overall visitor experience. The development will minimise the use of materials that are non-renewable or create toxic pollution in their manufacturing or disposal. Life cycle cost will be taken into consideration when selecting construction materials. Brisbane Airport Corporation Pty Ltd 8
DRAFT MAJOR DEVELOPM ENT PLAN DIRECT FACTORY OUTLET EXTENSION 2.4.2 Occupational Health and Safety Occupational health and safety requirements within and adjacent to the proposed development site will be in accordance with relevant BAC, Commonwealth Federal Government Agency Requirements and all applicable statutory requirements including the Queensland work health and safety legislation; the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, and Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 and the 11 new national codes of practices that have been adopted within Queensland as part of the harmonisation process. 2.4.3 Equity of Access Provisions for mobility-impaired people within the building will comply with the applicable codes, including the Premises Standards and Disability Access provisions of the BCA. 2.4.4 Energy Efficiency Considerations The building will be designed having regard to the mandatory performance requirements and applicable optional deemed to satisfy provisions of the BCA. During the design process BAC will investigate means of adopting energy efficiency techniques in the building design. 2.5 Project Development Phases 2.5.1 Roads and Services The proposed development involves the construction over existing car parking areas and use of building foundations that meet industry standards. As such, Bulk Earthworks have been completed for the majority of the Airport Village Site. Construction for the proposed development will involve installation of services, construction of building foundations and structure, construction of the plaza, some road works in 9th Avenue and The Circuit including pavements, kerbs, footpaths, landscaping and lighting works. Earthworks will be generally restricted to minor adjustment of existing ground levels as required to develop level building platforms and to generate the surface grades required for drainage. 2.5.2 Building Works and Site Works Foundations for building structures will be typical for this type of construction and may likely require piled solutions. Superstructure again will consist of typical elements such as precast and in situ reinforced concrete, steel work, and typical roofing and wall claddings. Building services will be installed as the structure is progressed. Services including sewer, water, power and communication will be extended from current services connections on site. These services will be installed in trenches and will extend into and under the proposed structures. Works will include installation of conduits, cables, pipes, and fittings and the construction of manhole and substation structures as required. Stormwater drainage infrastructure will be constructed to service the building and to collect roof water from the structure. Infrastructure includes pipe work, manholes, gully pits, and water sensitive design measures. Finishing works will include planting and landscaping, the commissioning of services and the installation of any architectural features. The landscaping design and the timing of the installation of landscaping will consider water sensitive urban design principles. 2.5.3 Indicative Timing of Proposal The construction program will occur over 12-14 months commencing in early to mid 2014. It will include temporary car parking, access and pedestrian movement arrangements to mitigate the impacts on the continuing operation of the DFO and other facilities in this part of the Airport Village precinct. These arrangements will be documented at the time of preparing the detail design drawings for building approval and be subject of extensive consultation with key stakeholders.

DRAFT MAJOR DEVELOPM ENT PLAN DIRECT FACTORY OUTLET EXTENSION 3.0 LEGISLATIVE CONTEXT The following sections provide an overview of relevant legislation and policy for the development of a proposed extension to the existing DFO centre and car park. The following key statutes were considered during the preparation of this draft MDP: Airports Act 1996 (Cth); Airports Regulations 1997 (Cth); Airports (Environment Protection) Regulations 1997 (Cth); Airports (Building Control) Regulations 1996 (Cth); Airports (Control of On-Airport Activities) Regulations 1997 (Cth); Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth); Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld); Civil Aviation Safety Authority Manual of Standards – Part 139 Aerodromes; Environmental Protection Act 1994 (Qld); and Airport (Protection of Airspace) Regulations 1996 3.1 Consistency with Commonwealth Legislation 3.1.1 Airports Act 1996 The Airports Act 1996 requires an MDP for each major development at a regulated airport. Section 89 of the Act prescribes those activities that are included as a ‘major airport development.’ The proposed development outlined in this draft MDP is defined as a ‘major development’ by virtue of Section 89(1): e) constructing a new building, where: (i) the building is not wholly or principally for use as a passenger terminal; and (ii) the cost of construction exceeds $20 million or such higher amount as is prescribed;” Section 90 of the Airports Act 1996 provides that major airport developments must not be carried out except in accordance with an approved MDP. This draft MDP has been prepared in accordance with and in order to meet the requirements of the Airports Act 1996 as outlined above, in particular the requirements as listed in Section 91. The key steps in the approval process for an MDP under the Airports Act 1996 are presented in Figure 2. An important implication of this process is the requirement that the MDP be made available for public comment for 60 days. An MDP checklist is provided in Appendix C to demonstrate the compliance of this proposed development with Section 91 of the Airports Act 1996. Brisbane Airport Corporation Pty Ltd 10
DRAFT MAJOR DEVELOPM ENT PLAN DIRECT FACTORY OUTLET EXTENSION FIGURE 2: MDP APPROVAL PROCESS Note: The MDP approval protocols subject to provisions contained under the Commonwealth Airports Act 1996. The Minister is responsible for deciding whether to grant approval or refuse the MDP. 3.1.2 Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) provides protection to matters of National Environmental Significance (NES) which include: World Heritage properties; National Heritage properties; Wetlands of international importance; Brisbane Airport Corporation Pty Ltd 11
DRAFT MAJOR DEVELOPM ENT PLAN DIRECT FACTORY OUTLET EXTENSION Nationally threatened species and communities; Migratory species; Nuclear actions; Commonwealth marine environment; and Any additional matters specified by the regulations. The EPBC Act protects the environment on Commonwealth land and regulates those actions of Commonwealth departments and agencies that may have a significant impact on the environment. As Brisbane Airport is located on Commonwealth land it is subject to the provisions of the EPBC Act. It is determined that matters of NES are considered unlikely to be affected by this proposed development. (Section 5 of this draft MDP provides an assessment of environmental impacts). 3.2 Pre-existing Airport Land When BAC became the airport-lessee company for Brisbane Airport in July 1997, it assumed certain pre-existing lessor obligations under various leases. BAC also became the head-lessee under the airport lease subject to a number of other interests in the airport land (such as easements). Some of those contractual and other rights remain in existence. Others have expired. However, there are no such contractual or other rights affecting the site where the development works specified in the draft MDP will be undertaken. 3.3 Consistency with Airport Lease The proposed facility is consistent with the airport lease between BAC and the Commonwealth of Australia for Brisbane Airport by providing an extension to the existing retail offering and providing new parking facilities which will benefit the Airport Village precinct. The quality and standard of the development will be consistent with the existing high quality facility and will attribute to regional economic growth. Further details of these points are included in Table 1. 3.4 Consistency with the Brisbane Airport Master Plan The planning context for the development is provided by the Brisbane Airport 2009 Master Plan, which was approved by the Federal Minister on 16 September 2009. The Master Plan provides a framework for development of the airport site to 2029 and beyond. It provides the basis for planning of aviation activity, landside development, environmental management and transport access in an integrated way. It also provides Commonwealth, State and Local government agencies, potential investors and the community with a statement of the way in which the airport intends to grow and develop. The DFO extension is considered to achieve the intent of the Brisbane Airport Master Plan by: Meeting the demand for increased NLA in the existing DFO centre; Improving the existing centre’s amenities and attractiveness to visitors through planned upgrades and improvements; Enhancing the range of services and facilities available in the Airport Village precinct to both the on-airport workforce and visitors to the Brisbane Airport; Satisfying car parking demands within a multi-level building that provides highly accessible, convenient and all weather protected parking spaces; Extending a pedestrian spine through the Airport Village; Improving the amenity of the public realm with the development of a pedestrian walkway flanked by restaurants, hotels, green space and urban art; Investing and creating jobs for Queensland; and Providing a development that achieves BAC’s overall vision for Airport Village and the development objectives for the Brisbane Airport. It is concluded that the proposed development achieves satisfactory compliance with the land use intent for the Major Centre zone and the zoning outcomes. Brisbane Airport Corporation Pty Ltd 12
DRAFT MAJOR DEVELOPM ENT PLAN DIRECT FACTORY OUTLET EXTENSION The proposed development will add additional retail and much needed food and dining amenity. Workers will have the capacity to use this precinct as their principal location for both shopping and lunch time activities. The development will provide a greater variety of retail and food services to accommodate the ongoing growth of the Brisbane Airport working population. The proposed development will also provide additional services and facilities to cater for the forecast growth in airport based employment and passenger numbers. The Airport Village is a diverse and vibrant business centre, which includes commercial offices, retail premises, a high quality airport hotel, child care facilities, tourist outlets, health and well being facilities, a direct factory outlet, food and drink premises, and supermarket. The proposed development will further cement the existing reputation, and desired overall outcomes for the Airport Village. Brisbane Airport Corporation Pty Ltd 13

DRAFT MAJOR DEVELOPM ENT PLAN DIRECT FACTORY OUTLET EXTENSION 3.5 Consistency with Brisbane Airport Environmental Strategy The 2009 Brisbane Airport Environment Strategy (2009 AES), approved on 19 August 2009, provides a framework for environmental management at Brisbane Airport. The 2009 AES was prepared in accordance with Part 6 Division 2 of the Airports Act 1996. It addresses issues such as environmentally significant areas, sources of environmental impact and environmental management. The proposed development is consistent with the 2009 AES and does not affect any areas identified as ‘environmentally significant sites’. 3.6 Consistency with State and Local Government Planning For the purpose of this draft MDP, Brisbane Airport is not subject to planning and development controls under Queensland legislation administered by the State and Local governments. As airport land is Commonwealth- owned, it is subject to Commonwealth legislation including the Airports Act 1996. Notwithstanding the use of some terminology consistent with State and Local Government planning laws in this draft MDP, BAC is not bound by any planning jurisdiction other than as prescribed by the Airports Act 1996 and Regulations. Under Section 91(4) of the Airports Act 1996, a Draft Major Development Plan must address the extent (if any) of consistency with planning schemes in force under a law of a State or Territory in which the airport is located. This requirement is addressed below. 3.6.1 State Planning Policies In preparing this draft MDP, consideration has been given to relevant State Planning Policies (SPP) operating in Queensland and effective at the time of publishing this draft MDP including: State Planning Policy 1/02: Development in the Vicinity of Certain Airports and Aviation Facilities (SPP1/02); State Planning Policy 2/02: Planning and Managing Development Involving Acid Sulphate Soils (SPP2/02); State Planning Policy 1/03: Mitigating the Adverse Impacts of Flood, Bushfire and Landslide (SPP1/03); and State Planning Policy 4/10: Healthy Waters (SPP4/10). The Queensland Government is currently reviewing all SPP’s and consolidating them all into a single SPP, the “Draft SPP”. The Draft SPP sets out policies about matters of state interests in relation to planning and development, and how these interests are dealt with in planning instruments, council development assessment processes and in designating land for community infrastructure. For the purposes of this draft MDP, reference is made to existing SPP’s as consultation on the draft SPP has recently closed, with the Final SPP not expected to be released until late 2013. 3.6.1.1 State Planning Policy 1/02: Development in the Vicinity of Certain Airports and Aviation Facilities This SPP sets out the State’s interest concerning development in the vicinity of those airports and aviation facilities considered essential for the State’s transport infrastructure. The SPP applies to development that could: Adversely affect the safety and operational efficiency of operational airspace or the functioning of aviation facilities; Increase the number of people that could, amongst other things, work or live within a noise contour of 20-25 ANEF; and Increase the number of people or the use/storage of hazardous material within public safety areas. Compliance of the Draft MDP with SPP1/02 is demonstrated below: The proposed development is located in an area identified in the Brisbane Airport 2009 Master Plan as acceptable for commercial building purposes (retail and other like activity) due partly to the fact that the safety, operational efficiency, and function of airspace and aviation facilities are not affected or impacted at this location; Brisbane Airport Corporation Pty Ltd 22
