10 Development criteria—general

10.1 Any Development Even where the consent of the Council is not required for development, where relevant to development the criteria in Clauses 10 and 11 apply.

10.2 Access

(a) The Council shall not consent to development which requires vehicular access unless an all-weather vehicular access road leading up to the boundary of the land on which development is to take place from outside that land is provided to a standard satisfactory to the Council. In order to prevent erosion, no such access road shall be permitted on slopes of 33% or greater.

(b) The Council shall not consent to development which requires an on-site access road unless such a road is designed and constructed to minimise grades, to suit contours, and to be stable, taking into account the characteristics of the site and the locality, and should avoid slopes of 33% or greater.

(c) The Council shall not consent to development for the purposes of any additional vehicular access, or if there is no vehicular access, to more than one vehicular access, to land fronting a Classified Road, nor shall any existing vehicular access be relocated without the consent of the Council.

10.3 Building Setback

(a) The Council shall not consent to development for the purposes of a building on land adjoining a Classified Road, unless the setback of the building from the alignment or Proposed New Alignment of the Classified Road is, for a site within the—

| Rural Conservation or Bushland Conservation Zone | 30 metres | | Other Zone | 18 metres | | Protected Area—Land Between Towns (except dwelling house) | 100 metres |

(b) Variation

The Council may reduce the building setback where it is satisfied that—

(i) the exceptional physical characteristics of the site make it necessary to do so, and

(ii) no traffic hazard, ribbon development or adverse visual impact will, or is likely to, occur.

10.4 Design and Character

(a) The Council shall not consent to development for the purposes of a building in the Rural Conservation or Bushland Conservation zone unless it is to be below the skyline when viewed from a public place or unless the Council is satisfied that no alternative location for the building is available on the lot.
