YASS LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN 1987 - REG 2

2 Aims, objectives etc

This plan aims:

(a) to consolidate the provisions of Interim Development Order No 1-Shire of Goodradigbee and Yass Local Environmental Plan No 1 within a single local environmental plan,

(b) to simplify the general restrictions on development of land by reducing the number of zones into which land within the Shire of Yass is divided,

(c) to define additional land suitable for semi-rural residential development in the vicinity of the township of Yass,

(d) to incorporate into the plan provisions whereby the Council may grant development consent to dual occupancies in rural areas,

(e) to incorporate into the plan provisions whereby the Council may grant development consent to medium density development in residential areas,

(f) to co-ordinate the development of rural parts of the Shire of Yass that will enable the objectives established for each zone to be satisfactorily implemented,

(g) to include savings provisions to ensure that the expectations of landowners are not unreasonably disadvantaged by the implementation of planning controls, and

(h) to facilitate a more environmentally compatible and less costly form of rural subdivision by permitting a range of lot sizes within each zone, but in a manner that protects the density of development as specified by each zone.
