(a) the present use of the land, the potential use of land for the purpose of agriculture and the potential of any land which is prime crop and pasture land for sustained agricultural production,

(b) vegetation, timber production, land capability, (including soil resources and soil stability) and water resources (including the quality and stability of water courses and ground water storage and riparian rights),

(c) the future recovery of known or prospective areas of valuable deposits of minerals, coal, petroleum, sand, gravel or other extractive materials,

(d) the protection of areas of significance for nature conservation or of high scenic or recreational value, and places and buildings of archaeological or heritage significance including aboriginal relics and places,

(e) the cost of providing, extending and maintaining public amenities for and services to the development,

(f) future expansion of settlements in the locality, and

(g) the proposed rehabilitation and post-extractive land use of sites of extractive industries.

(2) In addition to the matters referred to in subclause (1), the Council shall take into consideration the relationship of the proposed development to development on adjoining land or on other land in the locality.
