Hume Local Environmental Plan 2001 (NSW)
This plan is the Hume Local Environmental Plan 2001.
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.
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.
This plan applies to all land within the local government area of Hume.
This plan repeals the following environmental planning instruments:
(a) Hume Local Environmental Plan No 8,
(b) Albury and Hume Designated Area Local Environmental Plan No 1,
(c) any other local environmental plan that, immediately before the commencement of this plan, applied to the land to which this plan applies, but only to the extent to which it applied to that land.
This plan replaces all previous local environmental plans that applied to Hume.
In this plan:
Other definitions are provided in the Model Provisions.
The Environmental Planning and Assessment Model Provisions 1980 are adopted for the purposes of this plan, except for:
(a) the definition of
map in clause 4 (1), and(b) clauses 15, 16, 17, 23, 24, 28, 29, 31, 33 and 34.
The Model Provisions provide additional definitions of terms used in the LEP and other requirements relating to processes and various land uses.
The Hume Shire Council is the consent authority for the purposes of this plan.
The table of contents and notes included in this plan do not form part of it.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
(Repealed)
Nothing in this plan prevents a person, with the consent of the Council, from carrying out development on land referred to in Schedule 1 for a purpose specified in relation to that land in that Schedule, subject to such conditions, if any, as are so specified.
The purpose of the Rural (Agriculture) Zone is:
(a) to identify land used for agricultural purposes, and
(b) to implement the Council’s strategic directions for rural land, and
(c) to encourage the sustainable use of land for agriculture, and
(d) to avoid fragmentation of agricultural land in areas where large scale independent farm businesses are the predominant land use, and
(e) to allow for farm restructuring, and
(f) to encourage the continued use of rural land for agricultural purposes, and
(g) to encourage protection and enhancement of the bio-diversity of the area, and
(h) to recognise the complexities of family farm ownership, financing and management, and
(i) to promote economic development that is compatible with rural activities, and
(j) to encourage development of new sustainable rural enterprises, and
(k) to ensure that development does not place an unreasonable burden on Hume’s infrastructure and services.

Clause 9 of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Rural Lands) 2008 enables subdivision of lots smaller than allowed by this plan for the purposes of primary production.
The amendment of this plan by the State Environmental Planning Policy (Rural Lands) 2008 does not affect any entitlement arising under a provision of this plan (as in force before that amendment) to erect a dwelling-house on a lot, if:
(a) the lot was created before that commencement, or
(b) development consent to the creation of the lot was applied for, or granted, before that commencement.
The purpose of the Rural (Living) Zone is:
(a) to identify areas in Hume that are suitable for rural living and that avoid productive agricultural land, ecological resources and hazards, and
(b) to identify areas in Hume where the lot sizes no longer permit the land to be used for farming on a commercial scale, and
(c) to encourage the continued use of the land for agricultural purposes within a rural living environment, and
(d) to provide for residential lifestyle in a rural environment, and
(e) to implement the Council’s strategic directions for rural living areas, and
(f) to ensure development maintains and contributes to the rural character of the locality and minimises disturbances to the landscape and scenic qualities, and
(g) to avoid land use and management conflicts with adjoining land zoned Rural (Agriculture) and Rural (Environment), and
(h) to encourage the development of land that is in accordance with sound management and land capability practices, and that takes into account the environmental sensitivity and bio-diversity of the locality, and
(i) to ensure that development does not create unreasonable or uneconomic demands for the provision, maintenance, augmentation or extension of infrastructure and services, and
(j) to ensure any release of land for rural living purposes occurs in an orderly and efficient manner and does not create an over supply of rural living lots.
