 8.2.8             Landslide Hazard Overlay Code

 8.2.8.1           Application
 (1)    This code applies to assessable development:
        (a)   subject to the Landslide Hazard Overlay shown on the overlay maps contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
        (b)   identified as requiring assessment against the Landslide Hazard 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;Planning scheme policy 9 for assessment of natural hazards includes guidance for preparing a site specific geo­technical
 analysis.

 8.2.8.2           Purpose and overall outcomes
 (1)    The purpose of the Landslide Hazard overlay code is to ensure:
        (a)   development avoids or mitigates the potential adverse impacts of landslide hazard on people, property, community,
              economic activity and the environment; and
        (b)   development on steep land is avoided or limited in scale and intensity and is sensitively located and designed to minimise
              adverse impacts on landscape character, scenic amenity, environment and public safety.

 (2)    The overall outcomes sought for the Landslide Hazard overlay code are:
        (a)   Development in areas at risk from landslide hazard is compatible with the nature of the hazard.
        (b)   Development is resilient to landslide hazards by ensuring siting, design and access responds to and minimises potential
              risks to people, property and the environment.
        (c)   Natural processes and the protective function of landforms and vegetation are maintained in landslide hazard areas.
        (d)   Development avoids the release of hazard materials as a result of landslide hazard events.
        (e)   Development supports and does not unduly burden disaster management response or recovery capacity and capabilities.
        (f)   Development directly, indirectly or cumulatively avoids an unacceptable increase in the extent or severity of landslide
              hazards on the site or to other properties.
        (g)   Development on steep land occurs only where scenic amenity, landscape character and environmental quality and integrity
              is maintained and safe and efficient access can be provided.
