  • (a)

    to reduce the impact of coastline hazards on owners/occupiers of coastal land, and

  • (b)

    to reduce private and public losses resulting from coastline hazards, and

  • (c)

    to design developments subject to the influence of coastline hazards with due regard to the nature of the hazard, so as not to unnecessarily sterilise the use of land, and

  • (d)

    to take into account social, economic, aesthetic, recreational and ecological issues in considering uses of such land, and

  • (e)

    to provide for flexibility in controlling development in the coastal zone so that new information or approaches to hazard management can be employed where appropriate.

60What special controls apply to development of land subject to coastline hazard?

Before granting consent to development of land subject to coastline hazard, the Council must consider the following:

  • (a)

    the extent and nature of coastline hazard affecting the land,

  • (b)

    whether or not the proposed development would increase the risk or severity of coastline hazard affecting other land or buildings, works or other land uses in the vicinity,

  • (c)

    whether the risk of coastline hazard affecting the proposed development could be reasonably mitigated and whether conditions should be imposed on any consent to further the objectives of this plan,

  • (d)

    the provisions of any coastline management plan or relevant development control plan.

61When do roads not require development consent?(1)

Development comprising the construction of roads and associated works, including bridges, landscaping and drainage, may be carried out without development consent if it is carried out by or on behalf of a public authority.

(2)

Maintenance and repair of an existing constructed road may be carried out without development consent.

(3)

Development comprising the construction of roads and associated works may be carried out without consent if it is ordinarily ancillary to development allowed by a development consent.

62How are intersections with main roads approved?(1)

A road or other means of vehicular access which forms a junction or intersection with a main road must not be opened without the consent of the Council.

(2), (3)

(Repealed)

63What general controls apply to land near major roads?(1)

The objective of this clause is to ensure that adjoining land uses do not undermine the primary role of major roads as safe and efficient traffic carriers as part of a hierarchy of roads and transport routes.

(2)

For the purposes of this clause, major road means any main road or arterial road or any other road which, in the opinion of the Council, carries or is likely to carry a significant volume of vehicular traffic and includes the following roads:

  • Princes Highway

  • Kings Highway

  • Beach Road (Batemans Bay)

  • George Bass Drive

  • Tomakin Road

  • North Head Drive

  • South Head Road

  • Hector McWilliam Drive

  • Mort Avenue—Dalmeny Drive

  • Bermagui Road.

(3)

This clause applies to land:

  • (a)

    that has a frontage to a major road, or

  • (b)

    that relies on a major road for its sole direct means of vehicular access, or

  • (c)

    that has direct vehicular access to another road at a point less than 90 metres from that road’s intersection with a major road.

(3A)

This clause does not apply to development for the purposes of a dwelling-house or dual occupancy on land to which this clause applies and referred to in subclause (3) (c).

(4)

The Council shall not consent to development on land to which this clause applies unless it is satisfied that:

  • (a)

    the development, by its nature or intensity, or the volume and type of traffic likely to be generated, is unlikely to constitute a traffic hazard or to materially reduce the capacity and efficiency of the major road, and

  • (b)

    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 major road, and

  • (c)

    the location, standard and design of access points, and on-site arrangements for vehicle movement and parking, ensure that through traffic movements on the major road are not impeded, and

  • (d)

    the development will not prejudice future improvements or realignment to a major road to be carried out by the Council, and

  • (e)

    the development will not prejudice future improvements to or realignment of a major road, particularly with regard to the number of access points to main roads, and

  • (f)

    (Repealed)

  • (g)

    access to the land will be provided by a road other than a main road, wherever practicable, and

  • (h)

    existing and predicted traffic impacts, including vehicular noise, are considered in the design and location of the development.

64What general controls apply to subdivision?

Land may be subdivided, but only with the consent of the Council.

65What general controls apply to earthworks on land?

Earthworks, being filling or excavating of land to the extent that existing drainage patterns or the use to which the land may be put, or both, are changed, may only be carried out with the consent of the Council.

66What general controls apply to tree removal?(1)

A tree preservation order may be made by the Council by resolution and may apply to any land to which this plan applies.

(2)

A tree preservation order may require the consent of the Council to remove, lop or damage a tree or other vegetation.

Part 4Heritage conservation controls67What heritage conservation areas apply in this plan?

For the purposes of this plan, heritage conservation area means the land shown edged with a broken heavy black line and noted as the “Tilba Conservation Area” on the land use map.

68What are the objectives of the Tilba Conservation Area?

The objectives of the heritage conservation area known as the Tilba Conservation Area are:

  • (a)

    to recognise that the heritage conservation area is of heritage significance to the local government area of Eurobodalla, New South Wales and Australia, and

  • (b)

    to encourage conservation and enhancement of the heritage significance of the heritage conservation area by ensuring proper consideration is given to the effects of proposed development on that heritage significance, and

  • (c)

    to maintain mixed commercial and residential development in the main street of Central Tilba, and

  • (d)

    to provide a framework within which more detailed guidelines for development of the heritage conservation area and conservation of its heritage significance can be expressed in a development control plan.

69What special controls apply to development in heritage conservation areas?(1)

Consent of the Council is required to:

  • (a)

    demolish, deface, damage or move a building, work, relic, tree or place within a heritage conservation area, or

  • (c)

    alter a building, work, relic, tree or place within a heritage conservation area by making non-structural changes to the detail, fabric, finish or appearance of its exterior, except changes resulting from any maintenance necessary for its ongoing protective care which does not adversely affect its heritage significance, or

  • (d)

    erect a building on, or subdivide land within a heritage conservation area.

(2)

Development consent is not required by this clause if the Council is of the opinion that the proposed development would not adversely affect the heritage significance of the heritage conservation area concerned.

(3)

In assessing an application for consent required by subclause (1), the Council must take into account the extent to which the carrying out of the proposed development would affect the heritage significance of the heritage conservation area concerned.

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).

70Are dwelling-houses permissible in the 3a Business zone in a heritage conservation area?

Land in the 3a Business zone within a heritage conservation area may be developed for the purpose of a dwelling-house, but only with the consent of the Council.

    demolish, deface, damage or move a heritage item, or

  • (b)

    alter a heritage item by making structural changes to its exterior, or

  • (c)

    alter a heritage item by making non-structural changes to the detail, fabric, finish or appearance of its exterior, except changes resulting from any maintenance necessary for its ongoing protective care which does not adversely affect its heritage significance, or

(2)

(Repealed)

73What special controls apply to development on archaeological sites that have Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal heritage significance?(1)

The Council may grant consent to the carrying out of development on an archaeological site that has Aboriginal heritage significance or a potential archaeological site that is reasonably likely to have Aboriginal heritage significance only if:

  • (a)

    it has considered an assessment of how the development would affect the conservation of the site and any relic known or reasonably likely to be located at the site prepared in accordance with any guidelines for the time being notified by the Director-General of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, and

  • (b)

    except where the proposed development is integrated development, it has notified the local Aboriginal communities (in such a way as it thinks appropriate) of the development application and taken into consideration any comments received in response within 21 days after the notice was sent, and

  • (c)

    it is satisfied that any necessary consent or permission under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 has been granted.

(2)

The Council may grant consent to the carrying out of development on an archaeological site that has non-Aboriginal heritage significance or a potential archaeological site that is reasonably likely to have non-Aboriginal heritage significance only if:

  • (c)

    it is satisfied that any necessary excavation permit requested by the Heritage Act 1977 has been granted.

74What conservation incentives relate to heritage items?(1)

Regardless of the other provisions of this plan, the Council may grant consent to the use of a building that is a heritage item, the use of a building in a heritage conservation area or the use of the land on which any such building is sited, for any purpose, if the Council is satisfied that:

  • (a)

    the use would have little or no adverse effect on the amenity of the area, and

  • (b)

    conservation of the building depends on the Council granting consent to the proposed use.

(2)

The Council, when considering an application to erect a building on land on which there is a building which is a heritage item, may exclude the item from its calculations for the purposes of:

  • (a)

    determining floor space ratio, and

  • (b)

    determining the number of parking spaces to be provided on site, and

  • (c)

    calculating contributions under section 94 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, if the relevant contributions plan adopted by the Council so provides,
