5.3.1 RURAL ZONE CODE

The purpose of the Rural zone is to:

    (a) provide for rural uses and activities; and
    (b) provide for other uses and activities that are compatible with:
                    1. existing and future rural uses and activities; and
                    2. the character and environmental features of the zone; and
    (c) maintain the capacity of land for rural uses and activities by protecting and managing
    significant natural resources and processes.

new primary dwelling house, and is located outside of mapped agricultural land areas.

The relevant overall outcomes for the zone are outlined below:
