            risk, taking into account the predicted effects of climate change;
      (b)   ensure that risk to life, property, community, economic activity and the environment during flood and storm tide inundation
            events is avoided or mitigated; and
      (c)   ensure that development does not increase potential for flood damage on­site or to other property.

(2)   The overall outcomes sought for the Flood Hazard overlay code are:
      (a)   Development in areas at risk from flood and storm tide inundation is compatible with the nature of the defined flood event or
            defined storm tide event.
      (b)   Development protects floodplains and the flood conveyance capacity of waterways.
      (c)   Development is resilient to flood and storm tide events by ensuring siting and design responds to and minimises potential
            risks of flood and storm tide inundation to people and property.
      (d)   Development directly, indirectly and cumulatively avoids an unacceptable increase in the extent or severity of flood or storm
            tide inundation and does not significantly increase the potential for damage on the site or to other properties.
      (e)   Development supports and does not unduly burden disaster management response or recovery capacity and capabilities.
      (f)   Development avoids the release of hazardous materials as a result of a flood event.
      (g)   Natural processes and the protective function of landforms and vegetation are maintained in flooding and inundation areas.
