Gilgandra Local Environmental Plan 2004

Part 1 Preliminary

1 Name of plan

This plan is Gilgandra Local Environmental Plan 2004.

2 Aim of plan

The aim of this plan is to provide a framework of controls for development that will:

(a)  promote the orderly and economic use and development of land within the Gilgandra local government area, and

(b)  encourage the proper management of the natural and human-made resources of the Gilgandra local government area by protecting, enhancing or conserving:

(i)  agricultural land, and

(ii)  timber, minerals, soils, water and other natural resources, and

(iii)  areas of significance for nature conservation, and

(iv)  areas of high scenic or recreational value, and

(v)  places and buildings of archaeological or heritage significance, and

(c)  result in development that will benefit the community by providing a range of development opportunities in ways that contribute to the social, economic and environmental resources of the Gilgandra local government area and that are consistent with the principles of ecologically sustainable development, and

(d)  minimise land use conflicts and adverse environmental impacts, and

(e)  reduce the incidence of damage and hazards in areas subject to flooding by restricting inappropriate development on land below the flood planning level (that is, the level 500 millimetres above the designated flood level, in this case being the 1% AEP), and

(f)  increase employment opportunities within the Gilgandra local government area through the efficient use of resources and the expansion of the tourism industry, and

(g)  provide a secure future for agriculture by expanding Gilgandra’s economic base and minimising the loss or fragmentation of agricultural land, and

(h)  allow development control plans to supplement the broad controls in this plan.

Part 3 Special provisions

Division 1 Subdivision

12 Consent required for subdivision

Land may be subdivided only with development consent.

13 Factors to be considered before consent to subdivision

Consent must not be granted to the subdivision of land within Zone 1 (r), 1 (s), 2 (v) or 4 (i) unless the consent authority has considered all relevant information in relation to all of the following:

(a)  the primary purpose for which each allotment to be created by the subdivision is intended to be used under the provisions of this plan,

(b)  whether there is a dwelling-house on any proposed allotment and the location of any such dwelling-house,

(c)  whether the proposed subdivision maintains sustainable natural resource management principles.

14 Control of subdivision for agriculture

(1)  Consent may be granted to the creation of a vacant allotment of any area for the purpose of agriculture.

(2)  Consent may be granted to the creation of an allotment for the purpose of agriculture that is occupied or will be occupied by an ancillary dwelling-house only if the allotment has an area of not less than 500 hectares.

(3)  However, consent may be granted to the creation of an allotment of land within Zone 1 (r) that has an area of less than 500 hectares that is occupied by a dwelling-house and that is being or will be used for agriculture, but only if the consent authority is satisfied that the requirements of clause 21 are satisfied.

(4)  On and from the fifth anniversary of the commencement of this plan, the references in subclause (2) and (3) to 500 hectares are to be read as references to 1,000 hectares if the Director-General has not, before that day, approved a land use strategy for the local government area of Gilgandra.

15 Control of subdivision for dwelling-houses

Land in a zone may be subdivided, where it is occupied or is intended to be occupied by a dwelling-house, if each allotment created has an area not less than the area specified for the zone as follows:

(a)  2 hectares in Zone 1 (s),

(b)  700 metres² in Zone 2 (v), where the allotment is serviced by a reticulated sewer system,

(c)  2,000 metres² in Zone 2 (v), where the allotment is not serviced by a reticulated sewer system.

16 Control of subdivision for permissible purposes other than agriculture or dwelling-houses

Despite clauses 14 and 15, land in a zone may be subdivided to create an allotment of any area, either vacant or occupied by a dwelling-house that is ancillary to a use granted consent, if the consent authority is satisfied that the allotment is being used or will be used for a purpose (other than agriculture or a dwelling-house) permitted on the land in that zone, but only if the consent authority is also satisfied that:

(a)  the size and purpose of the proposed allotment is consistent with the objectives of the zone, and

(b)  the level of demand for the goods or services that are to be supplied from the allotment, and the extent to which that allotment is proposed to be used to meet that demand, justifies the creation of the allotment, and

(c)  the purpose for which the allotment is to be used can meet sustainable natural resource management principles, and

(d)  the creation of the allotment is unlikely to adversely affect the existing and potential capability of the adjoining and adjacent land to be used for other permissible purposes in that zone, and

(e)  the allotment to be created and any subsequent development on the allotment is unlikely to have the effect of creating a demand for uneconomic provision of services by the Council.

17 Control of subdivision for industrial purposes

Consent must not be granted to the subdivision of land for industrial purposes unless that subdivision creates an allotment of at least 2,000 metres².

18 Restriction on frontages to certain highways and roads

Consent must not be granted to the subdivision of land in Zone 1 (r) or 1 (s) if any allotment created by the subdivision will have a frontage of 200 metres or less to any State Highway, National Highway, main road or collector road.

19 Boundary changes

Nothing in this plan prevents consent being granted to a subdivision that changes a boundary between allotments if the boundary change is consistent with the objectives of the zone and:

(a)  does not create an additional allotment, and

(b)  does not create an allotment with an area less than the minimum area specified for the zone, and

(c)  does not facilitate the transfer of a second dwelling onto a separate allotment that is below the minimum area for the zone, and

(d)  ensures there is sufficient land within each allotment, on which a dwelling-house exists or could exist, for the satisfactory disposal of effluent on each allotment, and

(e)  ensures there is a separation (where possible) between dwelling-houses or dwelling-house sites and adjoining agricultural property boundaries of at least 150 metres on land in Zone 1 (r).

(b)  that comprises an allotment created for the purpose of a dwelling-house by a subdivision for which consent was granted under this plan.

(3)  Despite any other provision of this plan, consent may be granted to the erection of a dwelling-house on land to replace an existing habitable dwelling-house on the land but only if the consent authority imposes a condition on the consent that, prior to occupation of the new dwelling-house, the existing dwelling-house:
