Abstract

This Plan, consisting of seven Parts and completed by five Schedules, aims to make local environmental planning provisions for land in Great Lakes in accordance with the relevant standard environmental planning instrument under section 33A of the Act. The particular aims of this Plan are as follows: a) to facilitate the orderly and sustainable economic development of land, b) to promote the health and well being of the population, c) to protect and enhance environmental, scenic and landscape assets, d) to facilitate cultural activities that will benefit the community, e) to promote the equitable provision of services and facilities for the community, f) to ensure that development does not create unreasonable or uneconomic demands for the provision or extension of public amenities or services, g) to promote public transport patronage and encourage walking and cycling, h) to ensure that development has regard to the capability of the land so that the risk of degradation is minimised, i) to minimise land use conflict, j) to ensure that development meets any local water quality objectives adopted by Council in relation to groundwater, rivers, estuaries, wetlands and other waterbodies, k) to protect, enhance and provide for the long-term management of native biodiversity, including habitat linkages, threatened species populations and endangered ecological communities, and to identify and protect biodiversity links or corridors throughout the landscape.
