are prevented, minimised or mitigated by                                      development or use.
a) maintaining adequate separation between the
    wetland and any adjacent development or use9;
b) minimising any modification of the natural
    characteristics of the wetland, including the
    topography, surface and groundwater
    hydrology, water quality and flora and fauna
    species;
c) preventing any new development within
    wetlands;
d) minimising access to the wetland;

9   The extent of separation will be determined from the size, values and vulnerability of the wetland, likely natural fluctuations, and the nature of potential threats to its integrity and functions.
