New separation distances are proposed for poultry farms as follows:
 From frontage:─ 100m
 From side and rear boundary: ─ 100m if Animal Husbandry Type 1 Traditional
 From land included in a residential zone other than the Rural Settlement Zone, commercial
   zones or Open Space Recreation zone: ─ 1,000m
 From land included in the Rural Settlement Zone: ─ 200m if Animal Husbandry Type 1
   Traditional
 From any dwelling unit on other premises: ─ 150m if Animal Husbandry Type 1 Traditional

4.    Home-based businesses

It is proposed to reduce the level of assessment for Home-Based Business Type 2 Evident from
code assessment to self-assessment in the Rural Settlement Zone and the Rural Zone. In the
urban residential zone it will remain code assessable but with clarification added that it is only
consistent when operated from a detached house (not from multiple housing).

The self-assessable solutions are proposed to be changed for Home-Based Business Type 2 so
that whether in town or in the hinterland there could be a maximum of two employees (other than
the resident business operator) and that if the business involves classes, up to four classes can
be held per week with no more than 10 people in a class.

5.    Roadside stall
It is proposed that the use definition of roadside stall (which is a sub-use within Retail Business
Type 1 Local) be amended to “the use of premises exceeding 5m2 but no more than 25m2 for the
display and sale of goods in rural areas”. In this regard it would no longer be limited to
agricultural produce.
The use would be made self-assessable in the Rural Zone. Specific Outcomes and Solutions for
the use would be amended substantially to read as follows:
