9.3.6.1           Application
This code applies to acceptable development which is subject to requirements and to assessable development identified as
requiring assessment against the Home­based business code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).

9.3.6.2           Purpose and overall outcomes
(1)   The purpose of the Home­based business code is to ensure that home­based businesses are established and operated in
      a manner which:
      (a)   contributes positively to the Shire’s economy and employment;
      (b)   protects the amenity of surrounding premises;
      (c)   has minimal impact on the environment;
      (d)   promotes entrepreneurship; and
      (e)   allows for positive, well balanced lifestyle opportunities
(2)   The overall outcomes sought for home­based businesses are:­
      (a)   A home­based business is domestic in scale and operates in a manner that is subordinate to the residential use on
            the premises.
      (b)   A home­based business is compatible with the preferred character of the local area.
      (c)   A home­based business operates without compromising the safety of, and amenity enjoyed by, adjoining and nearby
            residents.
      (d)   A home­based business does not impact on the ability of existing nearby businesses or community uses to operate.
      (e)   A home­based business does not involve the storage of dangerous goods in quantities greater than that reasonably
            expected in the residential, rural residential or rural area in which it is located.
      (f)   A home­based business does not generate large volumes of solid or liquid waste, does not produce trade waste,
            contaminate land or pollute waters.
      (g)   A home­based business does not involve the storage or display of any goods visible from outside the dwelling.
      (h)   A home­based business generates minimal traffic volumes, no greater than those reasonably expected in the
            surrounding area.
FOR ACCEPTED DEVELOPMENT
The requirements for Acceptable Development are the acceptable outcomes listed in the Table of Assessment. Accepted
development that complies with the acceptable solutions is considered to satisfy the requirements. If development complies with
some, but not all, acceptable outcomes, an application for Code Assessment will be necessary and the application will be
assessed against the relevant Performance Outcome(s).

FOR ASSESSABLE DEVELOPMENT
Acceptable outcomes are provided for some, but not all, performance outcomes, and identify ways in which performance
outcomes can be met. Compliance with the performance outcome should be demonstrated and the acceptable outcomes are
considered as one way to satisfy the corresponding performance outcome.
