For each zone, a **Land Use Table** specifies:\n*   **Permitted without consent**: Minor work like home occupations or farm buildings that can proceed without Council approval.\n*   **Permitted with consent**: Development allowed only with **development consent** (formal approval from the Council), such as new houses, shops, or intensive farms.\n*   **Prohibited**: Uses not allowed, such as heavy industry in residential areas.\n\n**Key rules:**\n*   **Subdivision controls**: Strict minimum lot sizes prevent productive farmland from being fragmented into small blocks. There are complex exceptions allowing boundary adjustments or smaller lots for primary production, provided no new dwelling is built on them.\n*   **Heritage protection**: Schedule 5 lists over 80 heritage items (like the Quirindi Railway Station and Werris Creek Railway Station) that cannot be demolished or altered without special approval.\n*   **Agriculture**: Special clauses protect farming land from \"canal estate\" developments and regulate intensive livestock (piggeries, poultry farms) to manage odours and water pollution. There are also detailed technical standards for aquaculture (fish farming) in Schedule 6.\n*   **Flood planning**: Development in flood-prone areas must not increase flood risk to neighbours and must allow safe evacuation.\n*   **Local protections**: Specific rules manage aircraft noise near Quirindi Airport (including height restrictions), control the location of sex services premises away from schools, and even prevent Councils from rejecting live music venues based on music genre or dancing.\n\n**Fast-tracking:**\nMinor works (exempt development) need no approval.
