EUROBODALLA RURAL LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN 1987 - REG 4

4 Strategies

(1) The aims and objectives of this plan are to be achieved by the following strategies:

(a) by generally applying land use controls and development standards in each zone or to a type or class of development,

(b) by making development control plans regulating the carrying out of development permitted in any zone, so as to:

(i) restrict some or all development to a certain part of a zone, and

(ii) apply specific provisions, including development standards, to any part of a zone or to a type or class or development,

(c) by preparing and adopting development control plans over all or part of land within Zone No 1 (c) and Zone No 10,

(d) by making provisions in development control plans and conditions to development consent to further the objectives of this plan, including (but not exclusively) provisions or conditions:

(i) requiring sufficient set back of lot boundaries, buildings and other works from wetlands, streams, rivers, estuaries and the coast to prevent erosion, protect water quality and avoid flooding hazards,

(ii) requiring dedication to the public, or other suitable measures for permanent reservation from development, of land necessary to protect environmental quality or conserve natural or man-made heritage,

(iii) discouraging or restricting development on steep slopes, in remote areas or areas subject to bushfire hazards,

(iv) reserving land for public purposes, including schools, recreation, community uses, roads and drainage,

(v) controlling tree clearing and lopping,

(vi) regulating outdoor advertising,

(vii) setting standards for siting and visual impact of dwellings, roads, works and structures in rural areas,

(viii) prohibiting permanent development over or adjacent to identified extractive resources,

(ix) ensuring development approval takes into account the need to provide essential public services,

(x) requiring an archaeological survey or similar precautions where Aboriginal relics are known or likely to be found,

(xi) preventing alienation of access to public recreational resources to the benefit of private individuals or exclusive groups, and

(xii) requiring that appropriate access and adequate amenities are provided for all groups within the community for new developments,

(e) by minimising in this plan and in derivative development control plans the number of zones into which land is divided and the number of special provisions and definitions, and by broadening the meanings ascribed to those definitions, wherever possible,

(f) by advertising development proposals where there is a possibility of significant impact on any individual, the environment or the general public,

(g) by requiring full consideration of possible adverse environmental or social impacts in advance of development in accordance with provisions of the Act,

(h) by providing sufficient flexibility in planning controls to accommodate development proposals in accordance with the objectives of this plan,

(i) by requiring dedication of land, payment of monetary contribution or provision of a material public benefit or a combination of these as a condition of development consent where appropriate pursuant to section 94 of the Act.
