17 Subdivision of land within Zone No 1 (c)

(1) This clause applies to land within Zone No 1 (c).

(2) Before determining a development application for the subdivision of land to which this clause applies, the Council shall examine:

(a) the consequences of carrying out that development on the pattern of land use within the zone,

(b) the topography of the land with regard to:

(i) the siting of dwelling-houses, and

(ii) the relationship of those dwelling-houses to one another and the topography of the land,

(c) the risk of bushfires,

(d) the risk of flooding, and

(e) the likely impact of the proposed development on any wetland, waterway, forest or significant natural or cultural environmental feature or values.

(3) The Council shall not consent to the subdivision of land to which this clause applies unless it is satisfied that each lot to be created by the subdivision will have an adequate area, having regard to:

(a) the means available to provide water reticulation, and if unavailable, the capacity of the land to provide an adequate domestic water supply, including a firefighting capacity,

(b) the ability of the land to accommodate septic disposal of household waste,

(c) the standard and capacity of public roads serving the land relative to the likely volume of traffic to be generated as a consequence of development within the subdivision, and the means available to improve rows to a standard appropriate to the level of traffic likely to be generated,

(d) the availability of other utility services and social services relative to the likely demand for those services and the cost of their provision,

(e) the nature and topography of the land as related to the density of subdivision,

(f) the desirability of maintaining a low density of development in the primary catchments of wetlands or other areas where intensive subdivision may create a significant risk of soil erosion or pollution of the environment,

(g) the desirability of providing a range and mix of allotment sizes,

(h) the need to maintain a semi-rural character in the area,

(i) the purpose for which the land is proposed to be used after subdivision, and

(j) any other matter identified by the Council consistent with the objectives of this plan.
