(1) The objectives of this clause are—

(a) preservation and enhancement of the natural features and vegetation near where land meets the high water mark, and

(b) restoration of the land below any foreshore building line, so far as practicable, to a natural state, with a minimum intrusion of man-made structures, and

(c) removal of structures and works below any foreshore building line (particularly on redevelopment of land), other than those excepted by clause 23, and

(d) conservation and enhancement of waterfront structures of heritage value, and

(e) avoidance of adverse ecological effects on the waterways, and

(f) enhancement of the visual amenity of Lake Macquarie.

(2) Clause 7 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Model Provisions 1980 is adopted for the purposes of this plan.

Note—

Clause 7 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Model Provisions 1980 allows the Council to fix a foreshore building line and sets out the effect of such a line.

(3) State Environmental Planning Policy No 1—Development Standards applies to a requirement made by clause 7 of those provisions, when adopted for the purposes of this plan, in the same way as it applies to a development standard.

(4) The resolution of the Council cited as Lake Macquarie Foreshore Building Line Resolution and adopted by the Council on 18 July 1988 (copies of which are available from the office of the Council) is taken to have been made under clause 7 (1) of those provisions, as adopted for the purposes of this plan.

(5) Any references in that resolution to a current plan are taken to be references to a current plan within the meaning of the Conveyancing Act 1919.
