The scenic amenity and vegetated character of the landscape          Vegetation is retained:
is protected by retaining vegetation:                                (a)   on and within 30 metres of prominent ridgelines and on
(a)     along and around watercourses and drainage lines;                  sloping sites;

(b)     on steep slopes and ridgelines;                              (b)   in gullies;

(c)     along the major road network; and                            (c)   along watercourses and drainage lines;

(d)     that forms coastal vistas to and from beaches.               (d)   within 10 metres of the major road network; and
                                                                     (e)   along the front coastal dune system.


8.2.3              Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code

8.2.3.1            Application
(1)    This code applies to assessable development:
       (a)   subject to the Bushfire Hazard Overlay shown on the overlay maps contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
       (b)   identified as requiring assessment against the Bushfire Hazard overlay code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables
             of assessment).

(2)    All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development.

Editor's note—Planning scheme policy 9 for assessment of natural hazards provides guidance on preparing bushfire hazard
assessments and mitigation reports.

8.2.3.2            Purpose and overall outcomes
(1)    The purpose of the Bushfire Hazard overlay code is to ensure that development avoids or mitigates the potential adverse impacts
       of bushfire on people, property, economic activity and the environment.
(2)    The overall outcomes sought for the Bushfire Hazard overlay code are:
       (a)   Development in areas at risk from bushfire hazard is compatible with the nature of the hazard.
       (b)   The risk to people, property and the natural environment from bushfire hazard is minimised.
       (c)   Development does not result in a material increase in the extent and severity of bushfire hazard.
       (d)   Bushfire risk mitigation treatments are accommodated in a manner that avoids or minimises impacts on the natural
             environment and ecological processes.
       (e)   Development supports and does not unduly burden disaster management response or recovery capacity and capabilities.
       (f)   Community infrastructure essential to the health, safety and wellbeing of the community is located and designed to function
             effectively during and immediately after a bushfire event.
       (g)   Development avoids the release of hazardous materials as a result of a bushfire hazard event.
