     The overlay codes for the planning scheme are:
     (a)    Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Code
     (b)    Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code
     (c)    Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code
     (d)    Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code
     (e)    Extractive Resources Overlay Code
     (f)    Flood Hazard Overlay Code
     (g)    Heritage Overlay Code
     (h)    Landslide Hazard Overlay Code
     (i)    Regional Infrastructure Overlay Code

 8.2.1 Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Code

     Application
     (1)    This code applies to assessable development:
            (a)    subject to the Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay shown on the overlay maps contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
            (b)    identified as requiring assessment against the Acid Sulfate Soils overlay code by the tables of assessment in Part 5
                   (Tables of assessment).

     (2)    All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development.

     Editor's Note—the Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Maps in Schedule 2 (Mapping) identify the following areas potentially subject to acid
     sulfate soils:­
     (a)    Area 1 (Above 5 metres to 20 metres AHD); and
     (b)    Area 2 (5 metres AHD or below).

     Editor’s Note—Planning scheme policy for Assessment of Natural Hazards provides advice and guidance for achieving certain
     outcomes of this code, including guidance for the preparation of an ASS investigation report and management plan.

     Purpose and overall outcome
     (1)    The purpose of the Acid Sulfate Soils overlay code is to ensure that the generation or release of acid and metal contaminants
            from acid sulfate soils (ASS) does not have adverse effects on the natural environment, built environment, infrastructure or
            human health.
     (2)    The overall outcome of the Acid Sulfate Soils overlay code is that development ensures that the release of acid and
            associated metal contaminants into the environment is avoided by either:
             (a)   not disturbing ASS when excavating or otherwise removing soil or sediment, extracting groundwater or filling land; or
             (b)   treating and, if required, undertaking ongoing management of any disturbed ASS and drainage waters.

      Development:                                                      The disturbance of ASS is avoided by:
      (a)   does not disturb ASS; or                                    (a)   undertaking an ASS investigation and soil analysis
