21 Development in the Special Uses 5 (a) Zone or Open Space 6 (a) Zone

Objective of the provision To ensure that development within the Special Uses 5 (a) Zone or Open Space 6 (a) Zone is compatible with the existing and future use of the land and will not conflict with the use of surrounding land.

Matters for consideration The Council must not grant consent to the carrying out of development on publicly owned land within the Special Uses 5 (a) Zone or Open Space 6 (a) Zone unless it has taken into consideration all of the following:

(a) the need for the proposed development on that land,

(b) whether the impact of the proposed development will be detrimental to the existing or future use of the land,

(c) whether the proposed development will be secondary and complementary to the existing use of the land as public open space,

(d) whether the proposed development will significantly diminish public use and access to public open space,

(e) whether the proposed development is compatible with uses on adjacent land in relation to its height, bulk, noise generation, traffic generation, and any other aspects that might conflict with surrounding land uses,

(f) whether the proposed development is consistent with any plan of management adopted by the Council,

(g) whether the height of any proposed building or structure is visually sympathetic to existing vegetation and topography.
