Gunning Local Environmental Plan 1997 (NSW)
This plan is called Gunning Local Environmental Plan 1997.
The general aims of this plan are:
(a) to establish flexible planning controls which will make the administration of planning more efficient, and
(b) to maintain and encourage sustainable commercial agriculture, and
(c) to encourage the sustainable management, development and conservation of natural resources and the conservation of native flora and fauna by protecting, enhancing and conserving better quality grazing lands (particularly prime crop and pasture land), soil, water and the like, and
(d) to protect and conserve the environmental and cultural heritage of the area of Gunning, and
(e) to enhance and provide a range of housing opportunities in, and the residential and service functions of, the main villages in the area, and
(f) to provide a range of housing opportunities, including rural residential development in the vicinity of the villages, and
(g) to allow development only if it does not have the effect of placing unreasonable financial burdens on ratepayers, particularly in relation to road upgrading, maintenance and services, and
(h) to allow development only if it occurs in a manner which minimises risks due to environmental hazards, and minimises risks to important elements of the physical environment, including water quality, and
(i) to promote and co-ordinate the orderly and economic use and development of land in the area, and
(j) to give the Council greater responsibility for environmental planning by creating a broad framework of controls and to create the opportunity for the more detailed provisions relating to matters of local significance only to be dealt with by development control plans made by the Council.

In deciding whether to consent to development of land, the Council must consider the objectives of the zone in which the land is situated.
In deciding whether to consent to development of land, the Council must also consider:
(a) the present use of the land and the potential of the land as prime crop and pasture land for sustained agricultural production, and
(b) the vegetation, timber production, land capability (including soil resources and soil stability) and water resources (including the quality and stability of water courses and ground water storage and riparian rights), and
(c) the future recovery, from known or prospective areas, of valuable deposits of minerals, coal, petroleum, sand, gravel or other extractive materials, and
(d) the protection of areas of significance for nature conservation or areas of high scenic or recreational value, and places and buildings of archaeological or heritage significance (including Aboriginal relics and places) and the conservation of native flora and fauna, and
(e) the cost of providing, extending and maintaining public amenities and services to buildings or works that will result from carrying out the development, and
(f) future expansion of settlements in the locality and the impact on any existing settlement or village, and
(g) vulnerability and exposure to natural disasters such as bushfires and floods.
Consent must be obtained from the Council for all subdivisions other than those involving:
(a) minor boundary adjustments which do not create any additional allotments, or
(b) consolidation of existing allotments, or
(c) road widening.
Before granting consent to a subdivision of land in Zone 1 (a), the Council must:
(a) determine the main purpose for which each allotment is to be used, and
(b) identify any allotment intended to be used primarily for agriculture, and
(c) identify any allotment on which it is intended to erect a dwelling and decide whether building a dwelling is the main reason for creating the allotment, and
(d) identify the approximate location of any existing dwelling on the land, and
(e) identify the likely effects of the proposed use on the natural flow of any watercourse or stream, water quality, and aquatic and riparian habitat and fauna, and
(f) identify standards for infrastructure items such as boundary fencing, access roads and water storage, and
(g) identify the current use of the land, and
(h) (Repealed)
Before granting consent to any development of land within Zone 1 (a), the Council must consider:
(a) any impact the development will have on the future or current agricultural use of the land and of adjoining land, and
(b) whether an adequate water supply is available, and
(c) what services are or may be required, and
(d) any natural hazards likely to affect the development on the land or other land as a result of the development, and
(e) what effect the development might have on water quality, and on land with environmental or conservation value, and
(f) the effect the development will have on aquatic fauna or habitat and the natural flow of any watercourse or stream, and
(g) the effect the development will have on riparian vegetation and habitat, and
(h) whether the development will contribute to ribbon development or substantially change the appearance or character of the amenity of the locality.
When considering these matters, the Council must also take into account any measures that may be taken to minimise any adverse impact and also whether the benefits of the development outweigh any adverse effect.
Allotments proposed in Zone 1 (a) must meet the following standards:
(a) Where the allotment is being created for the purpose of agriculture or to facilitate farm adjustment, and there is no dwelling on the land, the allotment can be of any size.
(b) Where there is a dwelling on the land, the allotment on which it will be situated must have an area of not less than 80 hectares.
(c) Where the allotment will be created for the purpose of erecting a dwelling, the allotment must have an area of not less than 80 hectares.
The Council can consent to the subdivision of land within Zone 1 (a) to create an allotment that will be used otherwise than for the purpose of agriculture or a dwelling (being development that may be carried out under Part 2), only if:
(a) the area of the allotment to be created is appropriate for the development for which it is intended to be used, and
(b) where the land is identified as Class 3, 4 or 5 on a map prepared by the Department of Agriculture and held in the office of the Council, there is no reasonable alternative to using the allotment for the proposed development.
The land on which it is proposed to erect a dwelling on land within Zone 1 (a) must:
(a) have an area of not less than 80 hectares, or
(b) be a lot in a subdivision consented to by the Council in accordance with clause 13 (1) (c), or
(c) be a lot in a subdivision which was approved by the Council before the appointed day and which met the requirements for erecting a dwelling that applied before that day, or
(d) be a vacant existing holding which, in the Council’s opinion, is suitable for on-site disposal of waste water, but only if the erection of the dwelling will not generate demands for the provision of services which can not be economically provided.
Except where otherwise provided by clause 17, only one dwelling may be erected on an allotment of land within Zone 1 (a) (or an existing holding referred to in subclause (1) (d)). This does not, however, prevent a second dwelling being erected which is intended to replace an existing dwelling and which is not occupied until after the existing dwelling is demolished.
The Council can consent to the erection of a single dwelling house on each separate allotment of land within the areas shown diagonally hatched on the map, despite subclause (2).
Each allotment of land within Zone 1 (c) must have an area of not less than 2 hectares.
When considering the design of a proposed subdivision of land within Zone 1 (c), the Council must have regard to:
(a) the suitability of the land for future urban development, and
(b) whether it is possible to construct a dam on each allotment and whether each allotment has a minimum farm dam catchment area sufficient to ensure a 1 in 10 years drought reliability, and
(c) the proposed location of dwellings and how they complement each other and conform to the topography of the land, and
(d) whether the subdivision design minimises direct access to arterial roads from the proposed allotments, and
(e) the capability of the block for on-site disposal of effluent without adverse effect on ground or surface water quality, where connection to a sewer is not possible, and
(f) other likely impacts on water quality, land degradation, habitat destruction, and other environmental impacts that may result from the development.
Any unsewered allotments created in Zone 2 must, in the Council’s opinion, be suitable for on-site disposal of waste water. That opinion must be based on a soil analysis.
In this clause,
The Council may consent to dual occupancy development on land on which a dwelling house may be erected.
The Council may consent to dual occupancy development on land within Zone 1 (a) or 1 (c) only if:
(a) a dwelling can be or has been lawfully erected on the land, and
(b) the proposed development will not substantially interfere with the primary purpose for which the land is intended to be used, and
(c) no additional access to a public road will be required from the land because of the dual occupancy development, and
(d) domestic waste water can be effectively disposed of within the boundaries of the land.
The Council may consent to dual occupancy development on land within Zone 2 where the allotment is unsewered if the Council is satisfied that the lot is suitable for on-site disposal of waste water. That opinion must be based on a soil analysis.
In this clause,
(a) State Highway No 2—Federal Highway,
(b) State Highway No 3—Hume Highway,
(c) Main Road No 52 (Gundaroo to Crookwell via Gunning),
(d) Main Road No 241 (Gunning to Boorowa via Dalton),
(e) Main Road No 283 (Hume Highway to Collector).
Before granting consent to development of land which:
(a) fronts a classified road, or
(b) relies solely on a classified road for its access, or
(c) has access to a road which intersects with a classified road, where the point of access is within 90 metres of the intersection of the road and the classified road,
the Council must consider:
(d) whether the traffic likely to be generated by the development will cause a traffic hazard or reduce the capacity and efficiency of the classified road, and
(e) whether it is important for the development to be located near the classified road, and
(f) the access points and on-site arrangements for vehicle movements and parking, and
(g) the effect the development will have on future improvements or realignment of the classified road.
Development referred to in Schedule 1 is prohibited on land within Zone 1 (a) or 1 (c) which is within 400 metres of the alignment of State Highway No 2 or State Highway No 3.
In deciding whether to grant development consent, the Council must consider:
(a) whether the standard of the roads providing access (including stormwater drainage) to the development is adequate to cater for existing and potential traffic, and
(b) whether traffic associated with the development will cause the condition of the roads to deteriorate and whether funds are or will be available for road maintenance, and
(c) whether financial contributions from the development will be sufficient to maintain the roads likely to be affected.
On land within Zone 1 (a) or 1 (c) which has frontage to a road, the Council may require that buildings be set back from the alignment of the road. In deciding the distance, the Council must consider:
(a) the nature, scale and function of the building, and
(b) the maximisation of sight distances for drivers using the road, including visibility of points of access from the road and the adequacy of the view of the road from the points of access, and
(c) the minimisation of distraction to drivers using the road, and
(d) any possible realignment of the road.
The Council must not consent to development on land which is considered by the Council to be prone to flooding if the development is likely to:
(a) restrict the flow of flood water on the land or on adjoining land, or
(b) endanger life in time of flood, or
(c) increase the impact of flood water through erosion, siltation or the destruction of vegetation, or
(d) have an adverse effect on the water table of the land or of adjoining land.
The Council must also take into consideration, when deciding whether to grant or refuse a development application:
(a) any cumulative effect the development will have on flood behaviour, and
(b) any risk of pollution to waterways from the development, and
(c) whether access to the site of the proposed development will be available in times of flood.
This clause applies to the Sydney drinking water catchment within the meaning of State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Drinking Water Catchment) 2011.
The objective of this clause is to ensure that development with the potential to adversely impact on water quality in the Sydney drinking water catchment requires development consent.
For the purposes of this clause,
Despite clause 8 or any other provision of this plan, the consent of the Council is required for development that comprises intensive plant growing.
When determining a development application on land contained within the Outer Catchment Area as shown on the map, with boundaries as indicated on the map, the Council must take into consideration the impact of the proposed development on the water quality of stored water from which Sydney Water Corporation Limited draws drinking water.
The Council must not consent to the development of land contained within the Outer Catchment Area if the Council is of the opinion that the proposed development will adversely impact on the quality of stored water from which Sydney Water Corporation Limited draws drinking water.
A person must not carry out development for the purpose of any of the following without the consent of the Council:
(a) roads,
(b) stormwater drainage,

A person must not contravene a tree preservation order unless the person can prove that the tree or trees damaged or destroyed were dying, dead or dangerous.
Where land is located within 50 metres of a boundary between two zones, the Council may consent to development on the land that is permissible in the adjoining zone.
In considering an application for consent to develop land that, in the opinion of the Council, is subject to bushfire hazards, the Council must make an assessment of:
(a) the nature and degree of the hazard and any appropriate measures to reduce the hazard, and
(b) if the development proposed is or includes subdivision:
(i) whether the subdivision has been designed to enable the siting of any buildings to be erected on the part of the land having the least risk, and
(ii) whether a perimeter road should be provided on the land or adjoining land as a fire break or to allow access for fire fighting vehicles, and
(iii) the necessity of increasing the depth of allotments adjoining land which may be the source of bushfire hazard, whether or not defined by a perimeter road, for the purpose of providing a fire radiation zone.
In this clause:
(a) the use or settlement of the area of Gunning, not being Aboriginal habitation, which is more than 50 years old, or
(b) Aboriginal habitation of the area of Gunning either before or after its occupation by persons of European extraction.

(e) erecting a building on, or subdividing, land on which a heritage item is located or which is within a heritage conservation area.
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 item or heritage conservation area.
When determining a development application required by this clause, the Council must take into consideration the extent to which the carrying out of the proposed development would affect the heritage significance of the heritage item or heritage conservation area.
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).
The Council must take into consideration the likely effect of the proposed development on the heritage significance of a heritage item or heritage conservation area, and on its setting, when determining an application for consent to carry out development on land in its vicinity.
Sections 84, 85, 86, 87 (1) and 90 of the Act (which provide for the giving of notice, and for the making and consideration of submissions, about proposed development) apply to the demolishing, defacing or damaging of a heritage item or a building, work, relic, tree or place within a heritage conservation area (and to a use of a building or land referred to in clause 34 which, but for that clause, would be prohibited by this plan) in the same way as those provisions apply to designated development.
Subclause (1) does not apply to the partial demolition of a heritage item, where in the Council’s opinion the development will be of a minor nature and will not adversely affect the heritage significance of the heritage item.
(Repealed)
The Council may grant consent to the use, for any purpose, of a building that is a heritage item or is within a heritage conservation area, or of the land on which the building is erected, even though the use would otherwise be prohibited by this plan, if it is satisfied that:
(a) the proposed use would not adversely affect the heritage significance of the item or heritage conservation area, and
(b) the conservation of the building depends on the granting of the consent.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this plan, the Council may grant consent to the carrying out of any development on land (not being designated development) for a maximum period of 28 days, whether consecutive or non-consecutive, in any one year.
Nothing in this plan restricts or prohibits or enables the Council to restrict or prohibit:
(a) the use of existing buildings of the Crown by the Crown, or
(b) the carrying out by persons carrying on railway undertakings on land comprised in their undertakings of:
(i) any development required in connection with the movement of traffic by rail, including the construction, reconstruction, alteration, maintenance and repair of ways, works and plant, and

(iv) the provision of overhead service lines in pursuance of any statutory power to provide a supply of electricity,
(v) the erection of service reservoirs on land acquired or in the process of being acquired for the purpose before the appointed day, provided reasonable notice of the proposed erection is given to the Council,
(vi) any other development except:

(i) the erection of buildings and the reconstruction or alteration of buildings so as materially to affect their design or external appearance, or
(ii) the formation or alteration of any means of access to a road, or
(g) the carrying out of any development required in connection with the construction, reconstruction, improvement, maintenance or repair of any road, except the widening, realignment or relocation of the road, or
(h) the carrying out of any forestry work by the Forestry Commission, road construction and maintenance or forest protection, cutting and marketing of timber reserves under the Forestry Act 1916, or
(i) the carrying out by a rural lands protection board of any development required for the improvement and maintenance of travelling stock and water reserves, except:
