6.7.1 Environmental Management and Conservation Zone Code
6.7.1.1 Application
This code applies to:
(a) assessable development on land within the Environmental management and conservation zone as identified on the zoningmaps contained within Schedule 2
(Mapping); and
(b) acceptable development subject to requirements and identified as requiring assessment against the Environmental management and conservation zone
code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).
6.7.1.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
(1) The purpose of the Environmental management and conservation zone is to provide for the protection and maintenance ofareas that support one or more of
the following:
(a) biological diversity;
(b) ecological integrity;
(c) naturally occurring landforms; or
(d) coastal processes.
(2) The overall outcomes sought for the Environmental management and conservation zone are as follows:
(a) Land identified as ecologically important areas, water catchments, beach protection or coastal management areas or natural areas with historical or cultural
values are protected from development;
(b) Development avoids and mitigates against adverse impacts on the values and processes within ecologically important areas;
(c) Where a demonstrated community need exists, low scale, low impact structures with a small building footprint such as viewing decks, shelters and
Environment Facilities that provide for the appreciation, conservation and interpretation of ecologically important areas or areas of cultural or heritage value
may develop where consistent with the management intent or plan for the area;
(d) Low impact outdoor sport and recreation activities such as walking trails, canoe trails and the like may develop where ademonstrated community need exists
and such activities do not adversely affect the ecological values of the area;
(e) Low impact telecommunication facilities and utility installations occur only where they cannot locate in another appropriatezone, are compatible with, and do not
impact on, the values and process within ecologically important areas and are designed to minimise the visual impacts on the scenic amenity of the area;
(f) Buildings and structures are designed to maximise energy efficiency and water conservation;
(g) Activities undertaken by recognised traditional owners in accordance with traditional owner custom and practice may be considered; and
(h) Development responds to land constraints including topography, bushfire and flooding.

accommodation (where no more than one detached dwelling on the site) :
(a) are appropriately located;
(b) achieve a high level of comfort and amenity for occupants;
(c) maintain amenity and privacy of neighbouring residential premises; and
(d) are compatible with the character and streetscape of the local area.
(2) The overall outcomes sought for the Low density residential code are:
Page 15
(a) Development incorporates a high standard of design and makes a positive contribution to the streetscape character of the
area in which it is located.
(b) Development is sited and designed to protect the amenity and privacy of neighbouring premises.
Development provides a high level of safety, security and amenity for residents.
(c)
Development is provided with an acceptable level of infrastructure and services.
(d)
Where not in a sewerage service area, effluent disposal systems are designed and sited to avoid adverse effects on the
(e)
environment.
Driveways and crossovers provide safe and reasonable vehicle access from the carriageway to the property boundary,
(f) minimise adverse effects on Council’s infrastructure and ensure safety for all users of the footpath.
Community residences in the Low density residential zone are of a domestic scale with traffic levels which do not
(g) unreasonably affect the residential amenity of neighbours.
Secondary dwellings are small scale, subordinate to the dwelling and provide housing choice and amenity for the
occupants.
(h)
Rooming accommodation in the Low density residential zone is of domestic scale and provides housing choice to meet the
varying needs of the community.
(i) Buildings relocated from other sites do not pose a health or safety risk or adversely affect the amenity of their
neighbourhood or existing infrastructure.

6.3.1 Low Density Residential Zone Code
6.3.1.1 Application
This code applies to:
(a) assessable development on land within the Low density residential zone as identified on the zoning maps contained within
Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
(b) acceptable development subject to requirements and identified as requiring assessment against the Low density residential
zone code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).
6.3.1.2 Purpose and overall outcomes
(1) The purpose of the Low density residential zone is to provide for:
(a) a variety of low density dwelling types, including dwelling houses; and
(b) community uses, and smallscale services, facilities and infrastructure, to support local residents.
(2) The overall outcomes sought for the Low density residential zone are as follows:
(a) Low density residential neighbourhoods are home to permanent residents with minimal impact of visitors.
(b) The character of low density residential neighbourhoods varies due to factors such as proximity to centres, topography, lot
sizes, the established vegetated character, the age of development and open space provision.
(c) (c) The distinct look and feel of existing residential neighbourhoods is retained, and development makes a positive
contribution to the streetscape, maintaining the low density and low scale character.
Predominantly detached housing on a range of lot sizes meet the needs of different households.
(d) (d)
Secondary dwellings, community residences and rooming accommodation are integrated with the low density residential

Development caters for both the current and projected demographic and socioeconomic profile of the area, including one
and twoperson households, households on low to moderate incomes and residents with reduced mobility.
(g) (g)
Homebased businesses provide for domestic workplaces and homehosted guest accommodation of a scale and
intensity compatible with the low density residential character and amenity of the locality.
(h) (h) Visitor accommodation is limited to forms where guests stay within the home of their resident host.

(j) (j) Development provides for an efficient pattern of land use and infrastructure that creates walkable and legible residential

open space and recreational areas, community facilities and educational opportunities.
(k) (k)
Development is supported by appropriate infrastructure and essential services and does not adversely impact on the
continued operation, viability and maintenance of existing infrastructure or compromise future provision of planned
infrastructure.
(l) (l) Development responds to land constraints including topography, bushfire and flood.
Natural features such as creeks, gullies, waterways, wetlands, vegetation and bushland are retained and protected from
the impacts of development. Any unavoidable impacts are minimised through location, design, operation and management
requirements.
