1. natural hydrological systems are protected from erosion, scour
or flood damage on the premises or other premises;

2. natural landforms and drainage lines are maintained to protect
the hydraulic performance of waterways and flood plain; and

3. development integrates with the natural landform rather than
modifying the landform to suit the development as far as
practicable.
