Town Planning Assessment Report

    land      uses,   including
    adverse      impacts     on
    amenity values, over and
    above       what      could
    reasonably be expected in
    the rural zone;
2. avoid adverse impact on
   ecologically    important
   areas including National
   Parks, watercourses, and
   wetlands;
3. mitigate risks associated
   with the use of chemicals
   or air pollutants; and
4. avoid conflict with rural
   uses and activities on
   adjoining properties.

Editor's note- For uses that are
subject to impact assessment,
required        setback        and
separation distances will vary
with the scale and type of rural
activity. Relevant factors that
will be taken into account when
determining            appropriate
distances include the type and
scale     of     buildings     and
structures proposed, the use of
buildings      and      structures,
construction methods, level of
containment and ventilation,
potential noise, odour or air
pollutant nuisance, topography,
climatic     variables,    existing
vegetation between land uses,
and a range of management
practices that can be employed
to mitigate off-site impacts.
