PART I – PRELIMINARY

1.1 CITATION These development provisions “this Plan” may be cited as the Litchfield Area Plan

2004. 1.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVES Aim – This Plan aims to protect the rural character of the Litchfield Shire and to

identify locations suitable for the range of activities and services associated with development in the Shire.

Objectives – The objectives of this Plan are –

(a) to contribute to the ecologically sustainable use and development of land and water resources so that the use and development of land is consistent with the principles of sustainable development and avoids or minimises the degradation of the environment or the pollution or over commitment of water resources;

(b) to protect and promote the use of land identified as having horticultural

potential; (c) to protect the integrity of areas of environmental and conservation value; (d) to ensure that visually intrusive developments on arterial roads are

appropriately screened and located to minimise impacts on the efficiency of the road network;

(e) to create a flexible plan that can accommodate fluctuations in the growth of

the area; (f) to ensure that development controls reflect the physical and environmental

capabilities of land and accessibility to services; (g) to ensure that non-residential development is sited to avoid or minimise

conflict with the residential amenity of adjoining lots; (h) to ensure that lot sizes reflect the capabilities of land in Litchfield Shire; and (i) to identify land for residential, business and industrial development in

appropriate locations.

PART 2 – ADMINISTRATION 2.1 ZONES The land to which this Plan applies is divided into the zones shown on the zoning

map, which are the zones referred to in this Plan. The zoning map Litchfield Area Plan 2004 is kept at the offices of the Department

of Planning, Infrastructure and Environment, as amended from time to time. 2.2 PERMITTED, CONSENT AND PROHIBITED USE Land within a zone shown on zoning map may only be used or developed in

accordance with this Plan. A use or development of land is permitted without the consent of the Authority

where the use or development is shown as "permitted" in the relevant zoning table and it complies with the provisions of the clauses (if any) specified opposite the use or development in the table.

A use or development of land which –

(a) does not comply with one or more of the clauses (if any) listed opposite in the

zoning table or other applicable clauses; (b) is shown as consent in the zoning table; or (c) is otherwise described in the Plan as requiring consent; requires consent.

Consent is required where a proposed use of land does not appear in the relevant

zoning table. In considering whether to grant consent to a proposed use or development and to

what conditions (if any) the consent should be subject, the Authority must have regard to –

(a) the Litchfield Planning Concepts and Land Use Objectives 2002; (b) the aim and objectives of the Plan as contained in clause 1.2; (c) the purpose of the relevant zone set out in Part 3 and, as appropriate, the

provisions of Parts 4, 5 and 6; and (d) the merits of the proposal.

The provisions contained in Parts 4, 5 and 6 are generally regarded as the minimum

standard of development. The Authority may –

(a) where it can be shown that there are special circumstances, consent to a development at variance with those standards; or

(b) in granting consent to a use or development, where in the opinion of the

Authority it is necessary to do so, require a higher standard than specified in Parts 4, 5 and 6.

Where a proposed use of land is shown as "prohibited" in the relevant zoning table,

the use is prohibited.


23.08.2005 16

Where a particular project requires more than one consent such consents may be sought simultaneously by a single development application.

2.3 ANCILLARY DEVELOPMENT Where a use or development of land is permitted without consent, a use or

development which in the opinion of the Authority is ancillary thereto and which would require consent if proposed as the primary use or development, shall also be permitted without consent.

Where an ancillary use or development of land would be prohibited if proposed as

the primary use or development, the ancillary use or development shall be permitted only with consent.


23.08.2005 17

PART 3 – ZONE PURPOSE AND TABLES

5.1 ZONE RR (RURAL RESIDENTIAL)

Purpose: To provide land for rural residential purposes as a choice for those seeking an alternative to urban living.

Proposals for rural residential development are expected to demonstrate the relationship of the proposal to existing and proposed future land uses identifying potential impacts on facilities and services and the amenity of the locality. In the event that lots within the zone may not to be sewered, provision for effluent disposal must be made on-site in a manner that will ensure that it will not become a source of pollution to groundwater supplies.

Clauses that apply to the subdivision of land in the RR zone:

7.5 Particular requirements relating to Estate Development 11.1 Subdivision lot sizes 11.3 Environmental protection when subdividing 11.4 Particular requirements for RR subdivision

Clauses that apply to the use and development of land in the RR zone:

6.5 Setbacks of non-residential uses in the RR and RL1 zones 6.6 Control of demountable structures 6.9 Environmental protection when developing 6.10 Control of excavation and / or fill 7.4 Limitations on development of exclusive rural residential areas 7.7.2 Limitations on the use of caravans 10.2 Control of clearing of native vegetation

23.08.2005 19

5.2 ZONE RL1 (RURAL LIVING 1) Purpose: To provide opportunities for low-density rural living and a range of rural

land uses. Subject to consideration of the potential impact of non-residential uses on existing

and future amenity it can be anticipated that agriculture and horticulture will be amongst the uses likely to establish within the zone. A minimum lot size of 2 ha and control of potentially incompatible land uses will maintain existing amenity in established areas and emphasise the protection of residential amenity in new localities.

Lots within the zone are unlikely to be sewered; provision for effluent disposal is to be made on-site in a manner which will ensure it will not become a source of pollution to groundwater supplies.

Clauses that apply to the subdivision of land in the RL1 zone:

7.5 Particular requirements relating to Estate Development 11.1 Subdivision lot sizes 11.2 Lot sizes on land bounded by a 20 ANEF value contour

associated with an Airport 11.3 Environmental protection when subdividing

23.08.2005 64

6.7 LAND IN PROXIMITY TO AIRPORTS

The purpose of this clause is to – (a) minimise the detrimental impacts of noise generated by aircraft operations on

those who reside or work on land in the vicinity of airports; and (a) preclude any new use or intensification of development on land that would

prejudice the safety or efficiency of an airport.

Despite anything to the contrary in this Plan, in zones PA, RL1, RL2, CP or OC, the use or development of land near an airport which is bounded by the Australian Noise Exposure Forecast (ANEF) 20 unit value contour defined on ANEF Maps produced by the Department of Defence, Facilities and Property Division (as amended from time to time) and illustrated on the zoning maps requires consent. In determining an application for the use or development of land which is bounded by the ANEF 20 unit value contour, the consent authority must have regard to the Building Site Acceptability Table based on ANEF Zones taken from Standards Australia Table 2.1, AS 2021 – 1994 as a guide to the type of development considered appropriate. The open design of industrial buildings in the Top End means that noise attenuation cannot be achieved and it is therefore inappropriate that new industrial areas develop within the area bounded by the ANEF 20 unit value contour line. Lighting associated with development on land within the flight approach paths must not be prejudicial to the safe operation of an airport. The use or development of land must not be of a nature that attracts birds to an extent that might prejudice the safe operation of the airport.

6.8 EXCEPTIONS RELATING TO IRONSTONE AND KNUCKEY LAGOONS LOCALITY

The purpose of this clause is to provide protection to the catchments of Holmes Jungle and Knuckey and Ironstone Lagoons.

Development of land within Priority Environmental Management areas identified on the map titled “Priority Environmental Management Areas – Litchfield Shire” (as amended from time to time) produced by the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Environment must demonstrate consideration of and the Authority must have regard to – (a) environmental evaluation of the significance of natural vegetation and other

landscape features such as rugged terrain, rainforest patches, lagoons, wetlands, rivers and other drainage systems; and

(b) the retention and protection of those areas established by this evaluation to be

significant.

6.10 EXCAVATION AND FILL

The purpose of this clause is to ensure that excavation and / or filling of land does not degrade the environment of adjoining areas or the quality of adjacent waterways and associated riparian areas and is suited to the intended future use of the site. The excavation and / or filling of land, other than that normally required in association with the construction of a dwelling, requires consent. Excavation and / or filling of land must demonstrate and the Authority must have regard to – (a) the suitability of the site for the proposed future use; (b) hydrological assessment of potential upstream and downstream impacts of the

excavation or filling;

(c) ongoing management to ensure erosion and sediment is controlled particularly in respect of siltation of creeks and riparian areas; and

(d) measures to prevent the creation of mosquito breeding areas.

6.11 DEVELOPMENT OF LAND ZONED FD

The purpose of this clause is to enable the development of land zoned FD, when services are (or can be) made available to that land, for urban (typically residential or mixed use) development in anticipation of subsequent rezoning to reflect the final pattern of land use. Despite anything to the contrary in this Plan, where a development permit has been issued for the subdivision of land zoned FD, the Authority may permit development of the land, consistent with the anticipated ultimate zoning having regard to the relevant provisions of the Plan.

and second order streams (water courses and gullies); (ii) 100 m from the primary / top bank of the outer stream channel of third

and forth order streams (creeks);

(iii) 200 m from the primary / top bank of the outer stream channel (rivers); or

(iv) 200 m from the maximum flood levels (wetlands);

(m) where slopes exceed 1.0%, the type of erosion control to be implemented; (n) alignments of fence lines, roads and firebreaks noting that –

(i) cleared lines should be located along the tops of ridge lines or kept close to the contour as possible; and

(ii) cleared lines on slopes exceeding 1.0% will require some form of

erosion control; (iii) the same alignment should be used, where possible, for a number of

purposes (eg road, firebreak and fence line);


23.08.2005 80

(o) the retention of native vegetation along boundaries and / or drainage lines of

at least 25 m wide (excluding fire breaks) for lots up to 8 ha and at least 50 m wide (excluding fire breaks) on larger lots to provide habitat and refuge areas for native wildlife and allow corridors for wildlife movement;

(p) staged operations or selective clearing to minimise the amount of land

exposed at any one time;

(q) the revegetation or stabilisation of bare areas; and

(r) stabilised drainage works, above, below and within the development area. 10.4 DEVELOPMENT OF LAND IN ZONE WM

The purpose of this clause is to ensure that any use or development of land within zone WM does not contaminate the public water supply and is consistent with the requirements of the agency responsible for the public water supply. Consent is not to be granted to an application for subdivision or development of land in zone WM unless the relevant service authority responsible for the public water supply and the Agency responsible for the relevant water resource have provided the Authority with a report on whether the proposed subdivision or development will be in accordance with this clause. Development within zone WM should – (a) not be of a nature or intensity which risks contamination of the surface or

groundwater supply; (b) take account of drainage of the land during both the construction and

operational stages;

(c) provide appropriate facilities for effluent disposal;

(d) provide appropriate facilities for on-site waste collection and disposal; and (e) be consistent with the requirements of the Agency responsible for the public

water supply.


23.08.2005 81

PART 5 – SUBDIVISION 11.1 SUBDIVISION LOT SIZES

The purpose of this clause is to ensure that the size of lots created within the specified zones will be consistent with the objective of the zone and the capability of the land to accommodate the intended use. It is emphasised that there are areas within zones where the characteristics of the land are such that it would be inappropriate to subdivide to the minimum area. For example, land may be flood prone, have limited potential for sufficient groundwater yield, or have topographical constraints. In such cases the allotment sizes should be in excess of the minimum in order to counteract the constraints. Consent to subdivision of land in zone RR, SD, MD, C, SC, TC or LI should be granted only where it is determined that utilities can be provided to service the lots created and the proposed uses thereon. Land within the zones to which this clause applies should be subdivided only in accordance with the requirements of the table to this clause.

TABLE TO CLAUSE 11.1

ZONE MINIMUM LOT SIZES

RR 1 ha RL1 2 ha RL2 8 ha HP 25 ha SD and MD 800 m2

LI 1 125 m2

11.2 MINIMUM LOT SIZES IN LAND AFFECTED BY DARWIN AIRPORT

The purpose of this clause is to restrict the intensification of development on land that would prejudice the safety or efficiency of Darwin Airport. Notwithstanding clause 11.1, land that is within the area bounded by the 20 ANEF contour value defined on the ANEF Maps produced by the Department of Defence, Facilities and Property Division (as amended from time to time) and illustrated on the zoning map is not to be subdivided into allotments of less than 8 ha in area where that land is zoned RL1 or CP.

11.3 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The purpose of this clause is to minimise the detrimental impacts of subdivision on areas of environmental significance and natural attributes by maintaining landscape character, quality and amenity. Applications to subdivide land within Priority Environmental Management areas identified on the map titled “Priority Environmental Management Areas – Litchfield Shire” (as amended from time to time) produced by the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Environment must demonstrate consideration of and the Authority must have regard to –


23.08.2005 82

(a) environmental evaluation of the significance of natural vegetation and other landscape features such as rugged terrain, rainforest patches, lagoons, wetlands, rivers and other drainage systems; and

(b) the transfer to public ownership of those areas established by this evaluation

to be significant. 11.4 SUBDIVISION OF LAND ZONED RR

The purpose of this clause is to ensure that small lot rural residential subdivisions – (a) respond to the physical characteristics of the land; (b) are integrated with local infrastructure, community services and facilities;

(c) are proximate to arterials or collector roads; and

(d) contain lots of a size, configuration and orientation suited for the purpose. Subdivision design must provide connection to reticulated water and should provide for the following: (a) all lots to be of a minimum size of 1 ha in area; (b) lots of a minimum size of 2 ha in area if those lots are adjacent to any existing

lots 2 ha or more in area;

(c) protection of the amenity of existing rural living areas;

(d) continuous sealed access through to a sealed arterial or collector road;

(e) connection to reticulated sewerage or if no reticulated sewerage is available, demonstrate that the soils are suitable for the on-site absorption of effluent without detriment to the environment, in particular to groundwater resources; and

(f) adequate drainage within the road reserve or through engineered drainage

reserves. 11.5 SUBDIVISION OF LAND ZONED FD

The purpose of this clause is to enable the subdivision of land, when services are (or can be) made available to that land, for urban (typically residential or mixed use) development in anticipation of subsequent rezoning to reflect the final pattern of land use. Despite anything to the contrary in this Plan, where land zoned FD is proposed to be subdivided for urban development, including residential, industrial, community or commercial purposes, the Authority may permit subdivision into allotments of a size and configuration consistent with the anticipated ultimate zoning of the land having regard to the relevant provisions of Parts 3, 4, 5 and 6..


23.08.2005 83

PART 6 – TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE 12.1 UTILITIES

The purpose of this clause is to ensure the use or development of land within the Utility Zone does not prejudice the future development of the utility and in particular to – (a) identify high pressure gas pipelines so that gas is safely delivered to users at

minimal risk to people and the environment; (b) identify elevated sites for water storage;

(c) identify sites for sewerage ponds sufficiently distant (1.5 km) from residential

areas; and

(d) identify sites for power stations.

Land zoned U may be used or developed other than for a utility only with consent and in accordance with the requirements of the service authority responsible for the utility on the land.

12.2 LAND ADJACENT TO MAIN ROADS The purpose of this clause is to ensure that access to main roads from adjacent land does not prejudice traffic safety. Despite anything to the contrary in this Plan, access to a proposed use or development from a main road is to be only with consent and in accordance with the requirements of the service authority responsible for the care, control and management of the main road.

12.3 MAIN ROADS AND PROPOSED MAIN ROADS

The purpose of this clause is to ensure that use or development of land – (a) in zone M does not prejudice traffic safety or the amenity of the main road;

and (b) in zone PM does not prejudice the future development of the proposed main

road. Despite anything to the contrary in this Plan, land in zone M or zone PM may be used or developed other than for a public road only with consent and in accordance with the requirements of the service authority that is or will be responsible for the care, control and management of the main road or proposed main road, as applicable.


23.08.2005 84

12.4 RAILWAY CORRIDOR The purpose of this clause is to ensure that use and development of the corridor and additional land in Zone RW does not constrain the safe and efficient operation of the railway.

The use or development of the corridor and additional land in zone RW is to be in accordance with section 8 of the AustralAsia Railway (Special provisions) Act. In this clause, ‘corridor’ and ‘additional land’ have the same meaning as in the AustralAsia Railway (Special Provisions) Act.
