25 Employment—General zone

The objectives for the Employment—General zone are as follows—

(a) To encourage the establishment of a broad range of industrial and associated land uses which will generate greater local employment opportunities.

(b) To allow a wide range of employment generating land uses and facilities including industry, advanced technology, wholesale sales, storage, distribution, servicing, research and ancillary administrative uses, where these incorporate measures to conserve the sensitive environment of the Blue Mountains.

(c) To ensure that industrial development incorporates measures to mitigate the impact of its operation on the environment from noise generation or pollution.

(d) To allow retail development where it is associated with a primarily industrial land use or for appropriate bulky goods retailing.

(e) To ensure that the form and siting of buildings, colours and landscaping elements contribute to development of a landscape setting for industrial land uses and retain any existing bushland character.

(f) To allow industrial and other compatible development which incorporates controls on potential impacts on the amenity of residents in adjoining residential areas.
