Setbacks
PO8
Notwithstanding that intensive rural activities may need greater separation distances,
buildings and other structures are appropriately sited and designed to:
    a) avoid environmental harm or nuisance to sensitive land uses, including adverse
        impacts on amenity values, over and above what could reasonably be expected
        in the rural zone;
    b) avoid adverse impact on ecologically important areas including National Parks,
        watercourses, and wetlands;
    c) mitigate risks associated with the use of chemicals or air pollutants; and
    d) avoid conflict with rural uses and activities on adjoining properties.

Editor's note- For uses that are subject to impact assessment, required setback and separation distances will vary with the scale
and type of rural activity. Relevant factors that will be taken into account when determining appropriate distances include the
type and scale of buildings and structures proposed, the use of buildings and structures, construction methods, level of
containment and ventilation, potential noise, odour or air pollutant nuisance, topography, climatic variables, existing vegetation
between land uses, and a range of management practices that can be employed to mitigate off-site impacts.
