and includes work reasonably necessary to prevent or limit any further damage or malfunction.

minor work means new work carried out by the Council or a county council, but not drainage work, which has a value of less than $20,000.

routine maintenance means the periodic inspection, cleaning, repair and replacement of the Council’s works or the works of a county council, but does not include work that would result in an increase in the design capacity of any part of those works or necessitate the deepening of the capacity of existing works, except where one tonne, or less, of soil is disturbed.

(2)  In deciding whether to grant consent under subclause (1) (b), the consent authority shall take into consideration:

(a)  whether the development by its nature, intensity or the volume and type of traffic likely to be generated is likely to constitute a traffic hazard or to materially reduce the capacity and efficiency of the main or arterial road to carry traffic, and

(b)  whether 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 main or arterial road, and

(c)  whether the location, standard and design of access points, and on-site arrangements for vehicle movement and parking, ensure that through traffic movements on the main or arterial road will not be impeded, and

(d)  the extent to which the development might prejudice future improvements or realignment of the main or arterial road.

(3)  In determining any application for consent to carry out development on land which has a frontage to a main or arterial road, the consent authority shall have regard, without limiting the matters specified in section 79C of the Act, to the following principles:

(a)  Development should be of a type compatible with the maintenance and enhancement (as far as is practicable) of the existing scenic character of the locality.

(b)  Development should not generate significant additional traffic or create or increase ribbon development directly along the main or arterial road, relative to the capacity and safety of the road.

(c)  The creation of vehicular access to the main or arterial road should be minimised and, where no alternative exists, the location and treatment of the access should minimise potential traffic hazards.

(d)  Any buildings should be sited and designed to be of an appropriate scale, so as to maintain the character of the area, to minimise disturbance to the landscape, not to intrude into the skyline, and to maintain overall building development that is consistent with the character of the area.

(e)  Any building should be set back from the nearest alignment of the main or arterial road at a distance to be determined by the consent authority having regard to:

(i)  the nature, scale and function of the building, and

(ii)  the maximisation of sight distance for drivers, including visibility of points of access, and

(iii)  the minimisation of distractions to drivers, and

(iv)  any possible future need to alter the road alignment.

(3)  The development control plan must provide for all of the following:

(4)  Subclause (2) does not apply to any of the following development:

(a)  a subdivision for the purpose of a realignment of boundaries that does not create additional lots,

(b)  a subdivision of land if any of the lots proposed to be created is to be reserved or dedicated for public open space, public roads or any other public or environmental protection purpose,

(c)  a subdivision of land in a zone in which the erection of structures is prohibited,

(d)  proposed development on land that is of a minor nature only, if the consent authority is of the opinion that the carrying out of the proposed development would be consistent with the objectives of the zone in which the land is situated.
