Part 1Preliminary1Name of plan

This plan may be cited as Wingecarribee Local Environmental Plan 1989.

2Aims, objectives etc(1)

The principal aim of this plan is to provide planning controls for the Shire of Wingecarribee and to update and consolidate into one instrument the various planning controls that currently apply to the area.

(2)

The particular aims of this plan are to:

  • (a)

    divide land into the zones referred to in clause 8 and to achieve in respect of land within each of those zones the objectives specified for that land in the Table to clause 9,

  • (b)

    ensure that growth and development in the Shire of Wingecarribee occur in a way which preserves existing environmental qualities and minimises adverse environmental impacts,

  • (c)

    provide sufficient land for all uses in accordance with anticipated growth so as to provide a reasonable balance between supply and demand,

  • (d)

    protect the agricultural production potential of rural land and prevent fragmentation of viable agricultural holdings, particularly where land is designated as being of prime crop and pasture potential,

  • (e)

    protect areas of high landscape value as well as both natural and man-made areas of conservation and recreation significance,

  • (f)

    provide for the continued needs of tourism and to concurrently introduce measures to protect and preserve both the scenic qualities of prime agricultural land and those existing scenic and environmental features which are likely to promote tourism, including inland waterways and wetlands, lakes, escarpments and prominent mountain ranges,

  • (g)

    discourage ribbon development along main and arterial roads,

  • (h)

    encourage the provision of employment opportunities for local residents,

  • (i)

    provide a variety of residential environments to cater for differing lifestyles and income levels,

  • (j)

    promote and enhance the viability of existing commercial and industrial centres within the Shire of Wingecarribee,

  • (k)

    ensure adequate provision of recreation and community facilities for existing and future populations,

  • (l)

    recognise the necessity to ensure identified extractive resources and mineral deposits are not rendered sterile by future development but at the same time to ensure that their subsequent extraction and transportation to markets is undertaken in an environmentally acceptable manner,

  • (m)

    recognise the financial constraints likely to be encountered by the council in the provision and maintenance of additional services required for an expanding population,

  • (n)

    provide for multiple occupancy development on rural land which is not of prime crop and pasture classification,

  • (o)

    prevent, on the fringe of urban areas, the development of land that will prejudice the proper layout of additional urban areas as a result of natural growth, and

  • (p)

    conserve the environmental heritage of the Shire of Wingecarribee.
