New South Wales Consolidated Regulations New South Wales Consolidated RegulationsThe objectives of this plan for land subject to coastline hazard, in accordance with the State Government’s Coastline Hazard Policy, are:
(a) to reduce the impact of coastline hazards on owners/occupiers of coastal land, and
(b) to reduce private and public losses resulting from coastline hazards, and
(c) to design developments subject to the influence of coastline hazards with due regard to the nature of the hazard, so as not to unnecessarily sterilise the use of land, and
(d) to take into account social, economic, aesthetic, recreational and ecological issues in considering uses of such land, and
(e) to provide for flexibility in controlling development in the coastal zone so that new information or approaches to hazard management can be employed where appropriate.
