3.4.3 Implications and recommendations for new planning scheme
The SPP Guidelines identifies how planning schemes should integrate the state planning policy.
The approach outlined is the SPP with regard to extractive industry and mining is recommended
for the new planning scheme as follows:

Extractive industry

        Identify KRAs in the strategic framework and mapping, including strategic and specific
         outcomes for the protection of KRAs from encroachment of sensitive land uses and
         incompatible development.

        Ensure zoning of the KRA is consistent with protecting the KRA from sterilisation by
         sensitive or incompatible landuses.

        Include KRAs in an extractive resource overlay with code outcomes that ensure
         development is compatible with the use of resource / processing area of the KRA.
         (Sensitive landuses and incompatible development are assessed against overlay code
         provisions relating to its compatibility with the use of the KRA as an extractive industry).

Mining

Despite mining not being regulated under the planning scheme, the SPP requires planning
schemes give consideration to known mineral, coal and petroleum and gas resources and existing
or proposed resource development proposals.

Where possible measures should be included in the planning scheme to avoid conflicts between
the resource development and haulage routes with other land uses, such as identification of local
resource areas and buffers. Consideration should also be given to demand for the resource and
other competing landuses for the site.
