Division 2 – Agricultural Uses Code

14.2 Agricultural Uses Code

The provision in this division comprise the Agricultural Uses code. They are –

          Compliance with the Agricultural Uses Code (section 14.3);
          Overall outcomes for the Agricultural Uses Code (section 14.4);
          Specific outcomes, acceptable solutions and probable solutions for the Agricultural Uses Code (sections 14.5-14.8)

14.3 Compliance with the Agricultural Uses Code

Development that is consistent with the specific outcomes in sections 14.5 – 14.12 complies with the Agricultural Uses Code.

14.4 Overall outcomes for the Agricultural Uses Code

14.4.1 The overall outcomes are the purpose of the Agricultural Uses Code

14.4.2 The overall outcomes sought by the Agricultural Uses Code are the following –

    a) The ongoing productive use and sustainable management of the Shire’s agricultural resources and other natural
       resources is provided for;
    b) Uses and works are located, designed and managed to –
       i.      Avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of other premises, including visual and
               acoustic privacy;
       ii.     Maintain the safety of people and works;
       iii.    Avoid adverse impacts on the surrounding or downstream environments or natural environmental processes;
               and
       iv.     Avoid adverse impacts on the Shire’s natural resources of biodiversity, water, air and soil;
    c) Uses and works do not have a significant adverse impact on the road network; and
    d) Good quality agricultural land and other agricultural lands are conserved and not alienated or encroached upon by
       incompatible land uses.

14.5 Specific outcomes, acceptable solutions and probable solutions for the Agricultural Uses Code

The specific outcomes sought for the Agricultural Uses Code are included in column 1 of Table 14-1 to Table 14-3. Acceptable
solutions for self-assessable development and probable solutions for code assessable development are included in column 2 of
Table 14-1 to Table 14-3.
