Note: Appendix 5 of the State Planning Policy - State Planning Policy Code: Strategic Airports and Aviation Facilities provides further guidance on the referral of development proposal affected by the Airport environs overlay to the airport manager for assessment. Purpose The purpose of the Airport environs code is to protect the existing and future safety, efficiency and operational integrity of Cairns Airport and associated aviation facilities. The purpose of the code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes: conflicts between the Cairns Airport and surrounding land uses are avoided; development does not create incompatible intrusions, or compromise aircraft safety, in operational airspace; development does not adversely affect the functioning of aviation facilities; development avoids increasing risk to public safety in public safety areas; development is compatible with forecast levels of aircraft noise. Criteria for assessment Part A Criteria for self-assessable and assessable development – Table 8.2.2.3.a Airport environs overlay code self-assessable and assessable development – – Performance outcomes Acceptable outcomes For self-assessable and assessable development Protection of operational air PO1 AO1.1 Development does not create a permanent Buildings and structures (including construction or temporary physical or transient structures and equipment) do not encroach into obstruction in the operational airspace of the: Cairns Airport.
