13   Sewage disposal
Before determining an application for consent to development that will result in the generation of sewage or other effluent, consideration shall be given by the consent authority to:
(a)  whether the site of the proposed development should be connected to public sewerage facilities and, if so, whether the land is capable of being connected to public sewerage facilities either now or in the future, and
(b)  the suitability of the site for on-site disposal of effluent and the ability of the effluent disposal system to function effectively over the long term without causing adverse effects on adjoining land, where public sewerage facilities are not to be provided to the land, and
(c)  the likely effect of any on-site effluent disposal area on:
(i)  any waterbodies in the vicinity, or water supply catchments, and
(ii)  groundwater resources, and
(iii)  seasonally waterlogged soils, and
(d)  the cumulative environmental impacts of all on-site systems or works in the area with respect to water quality, soil degradation or odour, and
(e)  the potential for recycling and beneficial reuse of effluent on the land or land in the vicinity, and
(f)  the adequacy of the wet weather storage capacity of the proposed effluent systems or works, and
(g)  the proposed means of monitoring and reporting on the performance of the effluent systems or works.
14   Development in the vicinity of major industry and utility installations
Before determining an application for consent to development in or within the area shown on the map by red hatching, the consent authority must consider the suitability of the development in relation to:
(a)  the prospective effects of odour, noise, dust, fumes and visibility from any offensive industries, utility installations, waste disposal areas or extractive industries in the vicinity, and
(b)  the effectiveness of all measures employed and proposed to be employed according to the best available technology (not entailing excessive cost) to reduce or minimise the impact of offensive industries, utility installations, waste disposal areas or extractive industries in the vicinity.
15   Land shaping
(1)  Development consent is required for land shaping unless:

(a)  the potential for the development to impact on:
(i)  a water body, or
(ii)  ground water quality and resources, or
(iii)  stormwater drainage, or
(iv)  flooding, or
(v)  private property or public land, and
(b)  measures required to mitigate possible impacts.
16   Contaminated land
(1)  Before the consent authority determines an application for consent to development on land which has been identified to the satisfaction of the consent authority as being contaminated land or in the consent authority’s opinion is likely to be contaminated land:
(a)  the type and extent of the land contamination must be identified to the satisfaction of the consent authority, and
(b)  a plan for remediation must be prepared according to the contamination identified on the land to the satisfaction of the consent authority.

(2)  This clause applies to a scenic area which is identified by green hatching on the map.
(3)  Before granting consent for development of land within a scenic area, the consent authority must be satisfied that the proposed development will blend into the landscape through the use of appropriate siting and design, external materials and colours, and by retaining existing trees, including remnant vegetation, and enhancing the skyline when viewed either from the urban area of Orange or from public places in the vicinity of the land.
