Part E - Interim Development Assessment Requirements
These requirements apply to development applications as follows:

A development application for a material change of use, reconfiguring a lot or operational
works on land within:

     1) A flood hazard area, or
     2) A bushfire hazard area, or
     3) A landslide hazard area, or
     4) A coastal hazard area.

The development application is to be assessed against the following
requirements:

For all natural hazards:

Development:
     1) Avoids natural hazard areas or mitigates the risks of the natural hazard to an
        acceptable or tolerable level, and
     2) Supports, and does not unduly burden, disaster management response or recovery
        capacity and capabilities, and
     3) Directly, indirectly and cumulatively avoids an increase in the severity of the natural
        hazard and the potential for damage on the site or to other properties, and
     4) Avoids risks to public safety and the environment from the location of hazardous
        materials and the release of these materials as a result of a natural hazard, and
     5) Maintains or enhances natural processes and the protective function of landforms
        and vegetation that can mitigate risks associated with the natural hazard.

The SPP defines the following:-

          Landslide hazard area means an area that is:
           a) Identified by a local government in its planning scheme as a landslide hazard
              area, on the basis of a fit for purpose landslide study of the local government’s
              area; or
           b) If the local government has not identified landslide hazard areas in its planning
              scheme in accordance with paragraph (a) above; an area of land with a slope
              greater than, or equal to 15 percent.
          Natural hazard means a naturally occurring situation or condition, such as a flood,
           bushfire, landslide or coastal hazard, including erosion-prone areas and storm-tide
           inundation areas, with the potential for loss or harm to the community, property or
           environment.
          Natural hazard area means a flood hazard area, a bushfire hazard area, a landslide
           hazard area or a coastal hazard area.
