Preferred Dominant Land Use Designation
The subject land is included within the Rural Conservation preferred dominant land use
designation within the Lake Macdonald Locality. Section 13.3 of the Strategic Plan describes the

designation as follows:

Land which has been strategically assessed as having significant environmental values. The land
also makes an important contribution to the character of both the locality and the hinterland of
the Shire. It may also have some level of agricultural value. This land is unsuitable for intensive
rural settlement, though house site areas may be capable of being identified at low densities

which would not impact the land’s environmental values.

Development within the Rural Conservation preferred dominant land use designation within the

Lake Macdonald Locality must conform to a number of objectives detailed in the Plan.

Objective 13.1.1 seeks to ensure that the protection of water quality within Lake Macdonald is
the paramount factor in the determination of planning applications in the Lake Macdonald

Water Supply Catchment.

Strategic Aim 27.8.3 of the Strategic Plan sets out the Water Supply Aims and details that the
protection of water quality within the Shire’s primary water supply source of Lake Macdonald
will be achieved by ensuring that development does not adversely impact or potentially
adversely impact that water quality. The proposed development seeks to address current issues
pertaining to water quality by including a number of water quality improvement devices within
the road reserve and private allotments, including redevelopment of the existing dams to function

as detention basins.

A preliminary design has been undertaken of the stormwater management system proposed for
the site, with water quality modeling of the stormwater system also having been undertaken

using the MUSIC computer program. Computer modeling of the proposed stormwater system
