9 What are the strategies adopted by this plan?

The aim and objectives of this plan are to be achieved by the following strategies:

(a) by applying general land use controls to land within each zone or for a class of development, and

(b) by providing a framework for development control plans regulating the carrying out of development allowed in any zone:

(i) to restrict some or all development to certain land within a zone, and

(ii) to apply specific provisions to certain land within a zone or to a class of development, and

(iii) to provide directions to guide future development, and

(c) by adopting development control plans for the central business areas of Batemans Bay, Moruya and Narooma to reinforce and enhance their existing character and functions, and

(d) by identifying a major new industrial site in the northern part of the area, and

(e) by making provisions in development control plans or allowing conditions to be imposed on development consents, to further the objectives of this plan, including (but not exclusively) provisions or conditions:

(i) requiring minimum floor heights and sufficient setback of lot boundaries, buildings and works from wetlands, streams, rivers, estuaries and the coast to prevent erosion, protect water quality and avoid flooding or oceanic inundation hazards, and

(ii) requiring dedication for public use, or other suitable measures for permanent reservation from development, of land necessary to protect environmental quality or to conserve natural or built heritage, and

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

(iv) reserving suitable land for public purposes, including recreational and other community uses, roads and drainage, and

(v) controlling tree clearing and lopping, and

(vi) regulating outdoor advertising, and

(vii) ensuring that the need to provide essential public services is taken into account, and

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

(ix) preventing alienation of access to public recreational resources that will benefit only private individuals or exclusive groups, and

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

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

(g) by requiring full consideration of possible adverse environmental, economic or social impacts in advance of development in accordance with provisions of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 , and

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

(i) by requiring dedication of land, payment of monetary contribution or acceptance of a material public benefit or a combination of these as conditions of development consent, where appropriate, pursuant to section 94 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 .
