Dubbo Local Environmental Plan 1998—Urban Areas (2000 EPI 112)



Part 1 Introduction
1   Name of plan
This plan is Dubbo Local Environmental Plan 1998—Urban Areas.
2   Land to which this plan applies
This plan applies to all land within the local government area of the City of Dubbo shown on the Zoning Map.
3   Aims and objectives
(1)  The aim of this plan is to implement the conclusions of the environmental study prepared for the urban areas of Dubbo known as the Urban Development Strategy, dated December 1996 and adopted by the Council on 16 December 1996, and the 1994–1997 Dubbo State of the Environment Reports. The Strategy is based on the principles contained in the Dubbo 21 Plan (dated 1995) which provides an economic blueprint to guide the growth of the City into the 21st century.
(2)  The objectives of this plan are derived from the Urban Development Strategy (dated December 1996) and the 1994–1997 Dubbo State of the Environment Reports, and are as follows:
Development Opportunity Objectives
Urban development
To facilitate the Dubbo 21 Plan vision for the City by ensuring the availability of suitable residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and recreational land within a well integrated expanded urban land use framework.
Residential
To satisfy the residential land supply needs of the growing Dubbo population so as to provide a range of lifestyle choices competitive with other cities.
To achieve a City structure which centralises the central business district (CBD) by shifting the future residential locational emphasis to West Dubbo over time.
To identify and protect the established residential neighbourhoods and ensure a sufficient supply of suitable land to meet the future residential development needs of the City.
Commercial
To ensure the CBD remains the primary commercial centre for Dubbo and the Region.
To maintain and enhance a healthy, diverse and adaptable commercial sector in Dubbo, able to effectively service the commercial needs of the City and the Region.
To protect and enhance the existing network of retailing centres, the distinctive functions of each level in the hierarchy and the particular role of each centre.
Tourism
To encourage an expanded tourism industry in Dubbo.
Industrial
To ensure availability and a range of suitable industrial land with appropriate infrastructure for the implementation of the Dubbo 21 Plan (Industrial Development Strategies).
Mining
To allow mines and extractive industries and to prevent the sterilisation of resources.
Institutions
To provide the most favourable environment for the establishment and operation of medical, educational, cultural and research institutions appropriate to the City and the Region.
Recreation
To provide high quality open space for recreation to meet the widest practicable range of active and passive recreational needs and expectations of the local and regional community.
Cultural heritage
To identify and protect the cultural and architectural heritage of the City and assist in its promotion as a tourism asset.
Rural buffer
To protect agricultural enterprises in the adjoining rural area from encroachment and restraint on their operations due to conflict with urban amenity expectations.
Environmental Management Objectives
Urban development
To ensure that all forms of new urban development conform to the principles of ecologically sustainable development and do not exceed the land’s servicing capacity.
Erosion
To prevent the spread of erosion and remedy existing areas of erosion.
Salinity
To reduce the spread of urban salinity.
Contamination of land
To minimise potential contamination of land and to control existing contamination of land.
Waterways
To ensure safe, sustainable and multifunctional riverine environments.
Aquifers
To protect and improve water levels and water quality in aquifers.
Stormwater quality
To ensure urban stormwater is appropriately managed and water quality of river systems is not diminished.
Wildlife habitats
To protect existing wildlife habitats and achieve a network of habitats and corridors able to support the flora and fauna native to the area of the City of Dubbo.
Bushfire
To control development so as to minimise the effect of bushfire.
Noise and air pollution
To ensure noise and air pollution are maintained within acceptable environmental limits.
Wetlands
To allow for water distribution to and from flood-dependent environments.
Flooding
To manage the flood plain so as to minimise the disruption and hazard of flooding to people and the environment.

Part 2 Provisions applicable to all zones
7   Environmental management
All applications for consent for development must be assessed with regard to the Principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development in terms of land, air and water resources, biodiversity, and waste and noise matters.
In assessing proposals for any development of land, specific regard must be given to each of the environmental management objectives of this plan.
In giving regard to each objective, the consent authority must consider the best information available to the consent authority at the time, which may include any relevant management plans or policies adopted by the Council, as well as the following specific considerations:
(1)  in relation to soil erosion—whether the proposal involves clearing the land or other disturbance to the land, and the likelihood of soil erosion or other instability given any measures taken by the developer to ameliorate that potential impact,
(2)  in relation to salinity—whether there is potential for the development to cause or exacerbate any outbreaks of salinity,
(3)  in relation to contamination—whether there is potential for the land to be contaminated, given the known history of the use of the land or its location in the vicinity of land which may be contaminated and the potential for the proposed use to cause contamination,
(4)  in relation to waterways—whether there is potential for degradation of water quality or quantity or destabilisation of waterways,
(5)  in relation to aquifers—whether the land is vulnerable to groundwater contamination as identified on the map labelled “Dubbo Groundwater Vulnerability Map” dated February 1996 and held in the offices of the Council and the potential of the development to affect water levels or quality in the aquifer and, in the case of potentially contaminating activities on land identified by the Council as being of high vulnerability, the comments of the Director-General of the Department of Land and Water Conservation and the Director-General of the Environment Protection Authority,
(6)  in relation to stormwater quality—whether there is potential for degradation of the quality of stormwater discharges, given any stormwater quality control measures proposed by the developer,
(7)  in relation to wildlife habitats—whether there is a conservation plan and, if so, its contents, and the likely effect of the development on threatened species, populations or habitats or areas identified by the Council as potential habitat,
(8)  in relation to wetlands—whether there is potential for the development to alter the quality or quantity of water flowing into, within or out of a wetland or the level, frequency or duration of wetland inundation,
(9)  in relation to bushfire—whether there is potential bushfire hazard by reason of the vegetation on the land or on any adjacent land and the nature of the development,
(10)  in relation to waste—the content of the Council’s Liquid Trade Waste Policy (as amended from time to time) and proposals to dispose of solid waste,
(11)  in relation to noise pollution—whether there is potential for the development to degrade the environment in terms of noise generation,
(12)  in relation to air pollution—whether there is potential for the development to degrade the air quality of the environment.
8   Flood prone land
(1)  Consent may be granted for facilities which, in the opinion of the consent authority, are essential in times of major flooding, but only in locations where it can be shown that they will be fully operational during a Probable Maximum Flood.
(2)  Consent must not be granted for development on land that is below the Flood Planning Level, unless the consent authority is satisfied that the carrying out of the development is unlikely to significantly:
(a)  impede the flow of floodwater, or
(b)  imperil the safety of persons on land inundated by floodwaters, or
(c)  exacerbate the adverse consequences of floodwaters flowing on the land with regard to erosion, siltation and the destruction of vegetation, or
(d)  have an adverse effect on riverbank stability, or
(e)  increase the level or flow of floodwaters over the land or over adjacent land, or
(f)  increase dependency on emergency services,
and the consent authority has considered the consequences of all floods up to the magnitude of the Probable Maximum Flood on access and evacuation routes servicing the land, particularly from the perspective of the risk of entrapment and the danger to life of the entrapped and their rescuers.
(3)  Consent must not be granted to the development of land below the Flood Planning Level unless the consent authority has taken into consideration:
(a)  the provisions of any manual for the management of flood liable land, the publication of which has been notified in the Gazette under section 733 (5) of the Local Government Act 1993, and
(b)  the relevant characteristics of flooding known to the consent authority, and
(c)  the requirements of the Council’s floodplain management plan.

(a)  will be of a minor nature, and
(b)  will not adversely affect the heritage significance of the heritage item, building or work in relation to the environmental heritage of the City of Dubbo, and
(c)  is likely to facilitate the sympathetic redevelopment of the remainder of the heritage item.
69   Development in the vicinity of a heritage item
