10 Considerations for development in Zones Nos 1 (a) and 7 (d)

(1) Consent must not be granted to development on land within Zone No 1 (a) or 7 (d) unless the consent authority has taken into consideration, if relevant, the effect of the carrying out of that development on:

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

(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), and

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

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

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

(f) future expansion of settlements in the locality.

(2) As well as the matters referred to in subclause (1), the consent authority must take into consideration the relationship of the development to development on adjoining land and on other land in the locality.

(3) Subclause (1) does not apply to development being:

(a) an addition to a building or work, or

(b) development ancillary to development that may be carried out with development consent under this plan, or
