(b)  the development is of a type, whether or not related to the characteristics of the land on which it is proposed to be carried out, that justifies a location in proximity to a major road, and

(c)  the location, standard and design of access points, and on-site arrangements for vehicle movement and parking, ensure that through traffic movements on the major road are not impeded, and

(d)  the development will not prejudice future improvements or realignment to a major road to be carried out by the Council or as may be indicated to the Council from time to time by the Roads and Traffic Authority or any associated intention to declare part of a road as a State highway or freeway, within the meaning of the Roads Act 1993, and

(e)  the development will not prejudice future improvements to or realignment of a major road, particularly with regard to the number of access points to main roads, and

Part 4 Heritage conservation controls

67 What heritage conservation areas apply in this plan?

For the purposes of this plan, heritage conservation area means the land shown edged with a broken heavy black line and noted as the “Tilba Conservation Area” on the land use map.

68 What are the objectives of the Tilba Conservation Area?

The objectives of the heritage conservation area known as the Tilba Conservation Area are:

(a)  to recognise that the heritage conservation area is of heritage significance to the local government area of Eurobodalla, New South Wales and Australia, and

(b)  to encourage conservation and enhancement of the heritage significance of the heritage conservation area by ensuring proper consideration is given to the effects of proposed development on that heritage significance, and

(c)  to maintain mixed commercial and residential development in the main street of Central Tilba, and

(d)  to provide a framework within which more detailed guidelines for development of the heritage conservation area and conservation of its heritage significance can be expressed in a development control plan.

69 What special controls apply to development in heritage conservation areas?

(1)  Consent of the Council is required to:

(a)  demolish, deface, damage or move a building, work, relic, tree or place within a heritage conservation area, or

(b)  alter a building, work, relic, tree or place within a heritage conservation area by making structural changes to its exterior, or

(c)  alter a building, work, relic, tree or place within a heritage conservation area by making non-structural changes to the detail, fabric, finish or appearance of its exterior, except changes resulting from any maintenance necessary for its ongoing protective care which does not adversely affect its heritage significance, or

(d)  erect a building on, or subdivide land within a heritage conservation area.

(2)  Development consent is not required by this clause if the Council is of the opinion that the proposed development would not adversely affect the heritage significance of the heritage conservation area concerned.

(3)  In assessing an application for consent required by subclause (1), the Council must take into account the extent to which the carrying out of the proposed development would affect the heritage significance of the heritage conservation area concerned.

70 Are dwelling-houses permissible in the 3a Business zone in a heritage conservation area?

Land in the 3a Business zone within a heritage conservation area may be developed for the purpose of a dwelling-house, but only with the consent of the Council.

71 What special controls apply to development affecting heritage items?

(1)  Consent of the Council is required to:

(a)  demolish, deface, damage or move a heritage item, or

(b)  alter a heritage item by making structural changes to its exterior, or

(c)  alter a heritage item by making non-structural changes to the detail, fabric, finish or appearance of its exterior, except changes resulting from any maintenance necessary for its ongoing protective care which does not adversely affect its heritage significance, or

(d)  move a relic, or excavate land for the purpose of discovering, exposing or moving a relic, or

(e)  erect a building on, or subdivide, land on which a heritage item is located.

(2)  Development consent is not required by this clause if the Council is of the opinion that the proposed development would not adversely affect the heritage significance of the heritage item.

(3)  In assessing an application for consent required by this clause, the Council must take into account the extent to which the carrying out of the proposed development would affect the heritage significance of the heritage item.

72 What advertising and notification is required for heritage items?

(1)  Any development application for a proposal to demolish, deface or damage a heritage item or a building, work, relic, tree or place within a heritage conservation area must be advertised as if it were for consent for designated development.

(2)  If a person makes an application for consent to demolish, deface or damage a heritage item, the Council must not grant consent to that application until 28 days after the Council has notified the Heritage Council of the proposal and considered any comments received from the Heritage Council within that period.

73 What special controls apply to development on archaeological sites that have Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal heritage significance?

(1)  The Council may grant consent to the carrying out of development on an archaeological site that has Aboriginal heritage significance or a potential archaeological site that is reasonably likely to have Aboriginal heritage significance only if:

(a)  it has considered an assessment of how the development would affect the conservation of the site and any relic known or reasonably likely to be located at the site prepared in accordance with any guidelines for the time being notified by the Director-General of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, and

(b)  it has notified the Director-General of its intentions to do so and taken into account any comments received from the Director-General within 28 days after the notice was sent, and

(c)  it is satisfied that any necessary consent or permission under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 has been granted.

(2)  The Council may grant consent to the carrying out of development on an archaeological site that has non-Aboriginal heritage significance or a potential archaeological site that is reasonably likely to have non-Aboriginal heritage significance only if:

(a)  it has considered an assessment of how the proposed development would affect the conservation of the site, and any relic known or reasonably likely to be located at the site, prepared in accordance with any guidelines for the time being notified to it by the Heritage Council, and

(b)  it has notified the Heritage Council of its intention to do so and taken into consideration any comments received from the Heritage Council within 28 days after the notice was sent, and

(c)  it is satisfied that any necessary excavation permit requested by the Heritage Act 1977 has been granted.

cl 73: Am 2004 No 55, Sch 2.11.

74 What conservation incentives relate to heritage items?

(1)  Regardless of the other provisions of this plan, the Council may grant consent to the use of a building that is a heritage item, the use of a building in a heritage conservation area or the use of the land on which any such building is sited, for any purpose, if the Council is satisfied that:

(a)  the use would have little or no adverse effect on the amenity of the area, and

(b)  conservation of the building depends on the Council granting consent to the proposed use.

(2)  The Council, when considering an application to erect a building on land on which there is a building which is a heritage item, may exclude the item from its calculations for the purposes of:

(a)  determining floor space ratio, and

(b)  determining the number of parking spaces to be provided on site, and

(c)  calculating contributions under section 94 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, if the relevant contributions plan adopted by the Council so provides,

but only if the Council is satisfied that the conservation of the building depends on the Council’s making the exclusion.
