             compliance with the Natural Resources Overlay Code (section 13.41);

             overall outcomes for the Natural Resources Overlay Code (section 13.42);

             specific outcomes for the Natural Resources Overlay Code (sections 13.43—13.48);
13.41    Compliance with the Natural Resources Overlay Code
         Development that is consistent with the specific outcomes in sections 13.42—13.48
         complies with the Natural Resources Overlay Code.

13.42    Overall outcomes for the Natural Resources Overlay Code

13.42.1 The overall outcomes are the purpose of the Natural Resources Overlay Code.

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

         a)    for agricultural land conservation areas—
               i      agricultural land in the rural zone is protected from fragmentation, alienation
                      or diminished agricultural productivity

               ii     good quality agricultural land in the rural zone is protected for agricultural
                      uses;

               iii    the use of good quality agricultural land for agriculture is not adversely
                      affected by other forms of development; and

               iv     uses that are able to be located elsewhere do not locate within agricultural
                      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.

               iv     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

               ii     the Mary River drinking water intake is not adversely affected by
                      development or the effects of development;


                                                 13-53
