Part 8              Overlays
8.1                 Preliminary
(1)   Overlays identify areas in the planning scheme that reflect state and local level interests and that have one or more of the following
      characteristics:
      (a)     there is a strong sensitivity to the effects of development
      (b)     there is a constraint on land use or development
      (c)     there are valuable resources
      (d)     there are particular opportunities for development.

(2)   Overlays are mapped and included in Schedule 2 (mapping).
(3)   The changed category of development or assessment, if applicable, for development affected by an overlay is in Part 5 Tables of
      Assessment.
(4)   Assessment benchmarks for an overlay may be contained in one or more of the following:
      (a)     a map for an overlay
      (b)     a code for an overlay
      (c)     a zone code
      (d)     a local plan code
      (e)     a development code

(5)   Where development is proposed on premises partly affected by an overlay, the assessment benchmarks for the overlay only relate
      to the part of the premises affected by the overlay.

8.2                 Overlay codes
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

8.2.1.1            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).
