13.42.22 The overall outcomes sought for the Natural Resources Overlay Code are—                   <

               aii   the use of good quality agricultural land for agriculture is not adversely

                     land conservation areas;                                                  |
         b)   for extractive resource areas—
               i     development ensures that resource/processing areas and transport routes
                     are protected from encroaching development that is not a compatible
                     extractive industry use of the extractive resource area.
              ii     development for a sensitive or incompatible use maintains an effective
                     separation from a key resource area and does not encroach within a key
                     resource area’s separation area and its transport route separation area.
              iii    development, other than for an extractive industry, is buffered from and is
                     able to mitigate impacts likely to occur as a result of an extraction of
                     resources from a extractive resource area.

               tiv __a high level of amenity for residents and land uses in the vicinity of extractive
                     resources, extractive industry operations and transportation routes is
                     maintained;
         c)   for water supply catchment areas—
               i     Lake Macdonald and Cedar Pocket dam water supplies are not adversely
                     affected by development or the effects of development
              di     the Mary River drinking water intake is not adversely affected by
                     development or the effects of development;
              iii    any development that is unavoidable within the water supply catchment is
                     planned, designed, constructed and operated to manage stormwater.
                     wastewater and any other pollutants in in a manner which contributes to
                     maintaining and improving the water quality in those catchments;
               +iv__ costs of water treatment and infrastructure maintenance are minimised;
               +iy _ the expected life of dam infrastructure is maximised; and
               it¥vi__ the visual amenity of Lake Macdonald is not adversely affected by
                     development, and
