Schedule 1 Aims, objectives etc
(Clause 2)
1   General
The aims, objectives, policies and strategies of this plan are:
(a)  generally:
(i)  to provide for the orderly and balanced allocations of rural land resources in Uralla Shire,
(ii)  to maintain the best agricultural land in commercial production and prevent its fragmentation into small and uneconomic lots,
(iii)  to encourage the efficient use of all agricultural land and maintain the integrity of all agricultural activities,
(iv)  to permit rural subdivision in areas which support the use of existing services in an economic and efficient manner whilst preserving and encouraging growth of rural-residential areas with good access and high residential amenity,
(v)  to provide a range of holdings to meet the changing needs and demands of rural dwellers,
(vi)  to protect areas worthy of conservation for their natural, scenic, scientific, archaeological, cultural or historic significance,
(vii)  to protect regional and local water catchment areas and groundwater reserves,
(viii)  to protect the Shire’s resource base in timber, mineral and extractive materials,
(ix)  to prevent subdivision in areas liable to hazard, whether bushfire, geologic, soil erosion, flooding or other hazards,
(x)  to maintain planning constraints consistent with the relevant legislative requirements, and
(xi)  to take account of the physical nature of the local environment so that development is in harmony with that local environment,
(b)  more specifically:
(i)  to permit the subdivision of non-prime agricultural land subject to environmental suitability, cost effectiveness and economic demand,
(ii)  to permit development subject to its being in the overall social and economic interest of the community and the Shire, rather than just an individual or small group vested interest,
(iii)  to maximise the use of existing services,
(iv)  to minimise further social and economic costs to the community associated with isolated rural-residential holdings,
(v)  to provide for equitable cost-sharing of public services and facilities,
(vi)  to implement a “user pays” principle to development generally, in terms of the provision of or upgrading of public utilities and services and the increased hazard factors from soil erosion, waste-disposal, geological hazard, bushfires and the like, so that existing landowners are not disadvantaged by nor subsidise new developments,
(vii)  to minimise the administrative costs of the Council in relation to dealing with development applications, and
(viii)  to encourage economic growth.
2   Utilities
The policies of this plan in relation to public utilities are:
(a)  to provide for appropriate and efficient utility systems,
(b)  to encourage development in areas which support the use of existing utility services, and
(c)  to ensure that future developments provide or contain all the utility services that are required by or may reasonably be required by such developments or resulting developments.
3   Housing
The policies of this plan in relation to housing are:
(a)  to encourage sufficient variety of residential lot sizes and locations so that choice in the area is possible within the limitations of market forces,
(b)  to ensure that the physical design of residential development is appropriate to the needs and values of the community,
(c)  to consider opportunities for innovative and experimental housing and living styles, and
(d)  to ensure adequate and convenient vehicular access from dwellings to destinations outside the area and to all necessary resources within the area.
4   Drainage
The policies of this plan in relation to drainage are:
(a)  to ensure the provision of an adequate, safe and environmentally sound stormwater disposal system within existing and proposed new developments,
(b)  to minimise the instance of any inconvenience resulting from flooding, and
(c)  to minimise the impact of stormwater runoff from all developments on existing drainage patterns, and in particular on the magnitude and character of downstream flows.
5   Groundwater
The policies of this plan in relation to groundwater are:
(a)  to protect the quality and quantity of groundwater resources within the Shire, and
(b)  to regulate the impact of further demand on existing groundwater users.
6   Land resources
The policies of this plan in relation to land resources are:
(a)  to ensure that the principles of erosion control apply to all intensive and extensive farming practices, active and passive land use, and to all developments on or under the surface of the land,
(b)  to allow landholders to manage cropping and grazing land to maintain productivity, minimise environmental degradation and protect non-agricultural resources,
(c)  to ensure that all development reduces or does not worsen the effects of the erosion processes occurring before the development occurred,
(d)  to ensure the protection of land resources on marginal lands while allowing for sustainable development of these lands,
(e)  to permit forestry operations where environmental protection measures are employed to prevent landscape, soil, floral and faunistic degradation, and
(f)  to protect the quality and yield of water supplies whilst ensuring an acceptable degree of drought resistance through better management practices.
7   Environmental protection
The policies of this plan in relation to environmental protection are:
(a)  to enhance the scientific, floristic, faunistic, cultural, archaeological and heritage resources of the Shire,
(b)  to enhance the local environment, minimise the loss of protection given to native flora and fauna and to conserve the essential ecological processes on which the community depends,
(c)  to encourage tree preservation to provide wildlife refuges and wildlife corridors and preserve the scenic quality of the Shire,
(d)  to maintain road easements as wildlife corridors and vegetation reserves consistent with the function of providing access,
(e)  to control recreational uses of the Shire to protect the environment,
(f)  to ensure a high standard of rehabilitation is undertaken in association with mining and extractive industries,
(g)  to ensure that public utilities are located so as to minimise the loss of the ecological resources of the Shire,
