Schedule 1 Aims, objectives etc

(Clause 2)

1 General

The aims, objectives, policies and strategies of this plan are:

(a)  generally:

(i)  to provide for the orderly and balanced allocations of rural land resources in Uralla Shire,

(ii)  to maintain the best agricultural land in commercial production and prevent its fragmentation into small and uneconomic lots,

(iii)  to encourage the efficient use of all agricultural land and maintain the integrity of all agricultural activities,

(iv)  to permit rural subdivision in areas which support the use of existing services in an economic and efficient manner whilst preserving and encouraging growth of rural-residential areas with good access and high residential amenity,

(v)  to provide a range of holdings to meet the changing needs and demands of rural dwellers,

(vi)  to protect areas worthy of conservation for their natural, scenic, scientific, archaeological, cultural or historic significance,

(vii)  to protect regional and local water catchment areas and groundwater reserves,

(viii)  to protect the Shire’s resource base in timber, mineral and extractive materials,

(ix)  to prevent subdivision in areas liable to hazard, whether bushfire, geologic, soil erosion, flooding or other hazards,

(x)  to maintain planning constraints consistent with the relevant legislative requirements, and

(xi)  to take account of the physical nature of the local environment so that development is in harmony with that local environment,

(b)  more specifically:

(i)  to permit the subdivision of non-prime agricultural land subject to environmental suitability, cost effectiveness and economic demand,

(ii)  to permit development subject to its being in the overall social and economic interest of the community and the Shire, rather than just an individual or small group vested interest,

(iii)  to maximise the use of existing services,

(iv)  to minimise further social and economic costs to the community associated with isolated rural-residential holdings,

(v)  to provide for equitable cost-sharing of public services and facilities,

(vi)  to implement a “user pays” principle to development generally, in terms of the provision of or upgrading of public utilities and services and the increased hazard factors from soil erosion, waste-disposal, geological hazard, bushfires and the like, so that existing landowners are not disadvantaged by nor subsidise new developments,

(vii)  to minimise the administrative costs of the Council in relation to dealing with development applications, and

(viii)  to encourage economic growth.

2 Utilities

The policies of this plan in relation to public utilities are:

(a)  to provide for appropriate and efficient utility systems,

(b)  to encourage development in areas which support the use of existing utility services, and

3 Housing

The policies of this plan in relation to housing are:

(a)  to encourage sufficient variety of residential lot sizes and locations so that choice in the area is possible within the limitations of market forces,

(b)  to ensure that the physical design of residential development is appropriate to the needs and values of the community,

(c)  to consider opportunities for innovative and experimental housing and living styles, and

(d)  to ensure adequate and convenient vehicular access from dwellings to destinations outside the area and to all necessary resources within the area.

4 Drainage

The policies of this plan in relation to drainage are:

(a)  to ensure the provision of an adequate, safe and environmentally sound stormwater disposal system within existing and proposed new developments,

(b)  to minimise the instance of any inconvenience resulting from flooding, and

(c)  to minimise the impact of stormwater runoff from all developments on existing drainage patterns, and in particular on the magnitude and character of downstream flows.

5 Groundwater

The policies of this plan in relation to groundwater are:

(a)  to protect the quality and quantity of groundwater resources within the Shire, and

(b)  to regulate the impact of further demand on existing groundwater users.

6 Land resources
