24 Development on major roads

(1) In this clause:
"major road" means any main road or arterial road or any other road which in the opinion of the Council carries or is likely to carry a significant volume of vehicular traffic.

(2) This clause applies to land:

(a) having a frontage to a major road,

(b) which relies on a major road for sole direct means of access, or

(c) which has direct access to another road at a point less than 90 metres from the road’s junction with a major road.

(3) The Council shall not consent to development on land to which this clause applies unless it is satisfied that:

(a) the development, by its nature, intensity or the volume and type of traffic likely to be generated, is unlikely to constitute a traffic hazard or to materially reduce the capacity and efficiency of the major road,

(b) the development is of a type, whether or not related to the characteristics of the land on which it is proposed to be carried out, that justifies a location in proximity to a major road,

(c) the location, standard and design of access points, and on-site arrangements for vehicle movement and parking, ensure that through traffic movements on the major road are not impeded,

(d) the development will not prejudice future improvements or realignment to a major road as may be indicated to the Council from time to time by the Commissioner for Main Roads, or any associated intention to declare part of a road as a State highway or freeway, within the meaning of the State Roads Act 1986 ,

(e) the development will not prejudice future improvements or realignment to a major road, particularly with regard to the number of access points to main roads, and

(f) the views of the local traffic committee or Regional Advisory Committee (as appropriate) have been obtained and considered by the Council.
