5 Aims and general objectives

This plan has the following aims and general objectives to achieve those aims:

Aim 1

To respect, protect and complement the natural and cultural heritage, the identity and image, and the sense of place of the City of Newcastle.

Objectives

Development should:

(a)  respect and build upon positive aspects of local character and amenity, and

(b)  contribute positively to the public domain, namely its urban streetscapes and open spaces, or its rural and natural landscapes, and

(c)  conserve the environmental heritage of the City of Newcastle, and

(d)  conserve the heritage significance of the existing built fabric, relics, settings and views associated with identified heritage items and heritage conservation areas, and

(e)  ensure that archaeological sites and places of Aboriginal heritage significance are conserved, and

(f)  protect places and structures which have the potential to have heritage significance but have not been identified as heritage items, and

(g)  ensure that nominated heritage conservation areas retain their heritage significance.

Aim 2

To conserve and manage the natural and built resources of the City of Newcastle for present and future generations, and to apply the principles of ecologically sustainable development (ESD) in the City of Newcastle.

Objectives

Development should:

(a)  protect and enhance biodiversity, and

(b)  minimise the use of non-renewable resources and optimise the use of renewable resources, and

(c)  minimise, and where possible eliminate, waste and pollution, and

(d)  rehabilitate soil, water and vegetation, where damaged by past activities, and

(e)  address natural hazards and other risks such as flooding, bushfire, mine subsidence, landslip, coastal inundation, soil and groundwater contamination, acid sulphate soils and the like, and

(f)  ensure buildings are designed to be capable of being readily adapted for reuse for one or more purposes.

Aim 3

To contribute to the economic well being of the community in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

Objectives

Development should:

(a)  where possible create sustainable employment opportunities, and

(b)  contribute to a greater degree of economic and employment self-sufficiency in the City of Newcastle, its urban centres and its neighbourhoods, as well as in the Hunter Region, and

(c)  not jeopardise the ongoing operation and potential of the port of Newcastle, the adjacent industrial lands and the associated significant freight transport undertakings, and

(d)  reinforce the roles of established urban centres in their present hierarchy, comprising the city centre, the district centres and the local centres, as generally described in the Newcastle Urban Strategy, and

(e)  contribute positively to urban centres being focal points for employment, particularly in the service sectors of the economy, and

(f)  provide for home based businesses that are compatible with the character and amenity of the neighbourhood in which they are to be located, and

(g)  take advantage of and contribute to those locations not in urban centres, which are valuable to the economy of the City of Newcastle and the Hunter Region.

Aim 4

To improve the quality of life and well being of the people of the City of Newcastle.

Objectives

Development should:

(a)  maximise positive social impacts and eliminate or minimise potentially detrimental social impacts, and

(d)  contribute positively to the functional efficiency, accessibility and urban quality of the City of Newcastle, and

(e)  ensure adequate provision of utility services.

Aim 5

To facilitate a diverse and compatible mix of land uses in and adjacent to the urban centres of the City of Newcastle, to support increased patronage of public transport and help reduce travel demand and private motor-vehicle dependency.

Objectives

Development should:

(a)  contribute to the diversity of and synergies between activities in and around urban centres, including housing, employment, service delivery and community activity, and

(b)  contribute positively to urban centres being places that are and will become more highly desirable places in which to reside as well as work, and

(c)  optimise the shared use of streets and parking facilities, while improving or creating a safe, attractive, friendly and efficient pedestrian and cycling environment.

Aim 6

To encourage a diversity of housing types in locations that improve access to employment opportunities, public transport, community facilities and services, retail and commercial services, and the like.

Objectives

Development should:

(a)  facilitate improved housing choice for the people of the City of Newcastle, and

(b)  add to the stock of urban housing in and within a reasonable walking distance of local centres, district centres, the city centre, and other public transport nodes, and

(c)  ensure that urban housing is constructed in a manner that can accommodate or be adapted to the needs of a variety of household types.

6 Method

This plan sets the framework for the achievement of its aims and objectives by:

(a)  defining zones and identifying those zones on a set of maps called the zoning map, and

(b)  providing guidance for the assessment and determination of development applications having consideration for the environmental, economic and social impact of proposed development and its contribution to the achievement of the aims and objectives of the plan as well as the specific zone objectives nominated for the various zones under the plan, and

(f)  requiring that certain environmental matters, such as the presence of bush fire prone land, acid sulphate soils or the impact of Hunter River flooding are adequately considered in the assessment of development applications, and

(g)  providing for vegetation management and the protection of trees, and
