Hume Local Environmental Plan 2001



Part 1 Preliminary
1   Name of plan
This plan is the Hume Local Environmental Plan 2001.
Note—
The plan is just one component of the Hume Shire Land Use Plan and should be read in conjunction with other components and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 in order to fully comprehend its role and influence.
2   Purpose of the local environmental plan
The purpose of this plan is:
(a)  to implement the Council’s strategic directions for Hume, and
(b)  to provide opportunities for economic and population growth, and
(c)  to recognise the role and influence of Albury-Wodonga and its region in planning for Hume’s future, and
(d)  to continue to promote Hume as the “rural living alternative”, and
(e)  to encourage the retention of rural land in productive agriculture, and
(f)  to protect, conserve and enhance Hume’s natural assets, including areas of hills, Lake Hume and the Murray River riverine land, and
(g)  to identify and protect Hume’s heritage and archaeological assets for future generations, and
(h)  to encourage and support growth in townships, and
(i)  to manage land use and development in a manner that reduces local and downstream cumulative environmental effects, and
(j)  to replace existing environmental planning instruments with one comprehensive document that provides clarity in it intentions yet allows flexibility in decision-making, and
(k)  to provide a planning system for Hume that is fair and equitable to all persons, and
(l)  to introduce changes to environmental planning made by the Environmental Planning and Assessment Amendment Act 1997.
3   Land to which the local environmental plan applies
This plan applies to all land within the local government area of Hume.

Part 2 Land use zones and provisions
9   Zones
For the purposes of this plan, land to which this plan applies is within one of the following zones, as shown on the map:
Rural (Agriculture)
Rural (Environment)
Rural (Living)
Residential (Low Density)
Albury Fringe
Township
Tourist Centre
10   Operation of zones
(1)  Each clause of this plan by which development within a specified zone is controlled contains a statement as to the purpose of the zone. Development should be consistent with the purpose of the zone.
(2)  In a clause of this plan by which development within a specified zone is controlled, the development controls are divided into two sections, as follows:
Consent required
Development specified in this section requires the consent of the Council.
Because development is specified in this section, it does not require or imply that consent should or will be granted. The Council must decide whether the proposal will produce acceptable outcomes in terms of the requirements of the Act and this plan.
Prohibited
Development specified in this section is prohibited.
11   Matters for consideration
The Council must not grant consent to development unless it has made an assessment of the matters included in the Matters for Consideration Section of the Consideration of Applications Development Control Plan.
12   Exempt and complying development
(1)  Development of minimal environmental impact listed in the Exempt Development section of the Consideration of Applications Development Control Plan is exempt development, despite any other provision of this plan.
(2)  Development listed in the Complying Development section of the Consideration of Applications Development Control Plan is complying development if:
(a)  it is local development of a kind that can be carried out with consent on the land on which it is proposed, and
(b)  it is not an existing use, as defined in section 106 of the Act.
(3)  Development is exempt or complying development only if it complies with the development standards and other requirements applicable to the development in the Exempt and Complying sections of the Consideration of Applications Development Control Plan.
(4)  A complying development certificate issued for any complying development is subject to the conditions for the development specified in the Complying Development section of the Consideration of Applications Development Control Plan as that section is in force when the certificate is issued.
13   Heritage
(1)  A person must not, in respect of a heritage item, except with the consent of the Council:
(a)  demolish or renovate the item, or
(b)  damage or despoil the item or any part of the item, or
(c)  carry out any development on land, or in relation to land, on which the item is situated.
(2)  Development consent is not required by this clause if the Council is of the opinion that the proposed development will not adversely affect the heritage significance of the heritage item.
Note—
The website of the Heritage Branch of the Department of Planning has publications that provide guidance on assessing the impact of proposed development on the heritage significance of items (for example, Statements of Heritage Impact).
