(c) Zone Code


Purpose and overall outcomes

(1) The purpose of the General residential zone code is to provide for residential activities supported by a range of community uses and small scale services, facilities and infrastructure that cater for local residents. The General residential zone is intended to provide for predominantly low density, low-rise residential uses on a range of urban type lot sizes. Whilst predominantly intended to accommodate dwelling houses and to a lesser extent dual occupancies, limited other residential uses may be established in the zone where compatible with the prevailing residential character and amenity of the area.

(2) The purpose of the General residential zone code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:- (a) development provides for low density housing types, primarily in the form of dwelling

houses and to a lesser extent dual occupancies, that promote variety in housing size and choice;

(b) limited other residential uses such as multiple dwellings (in the form of town houses, villas, terrace and row houses), residential care facilities and retirement facilities may be where such uses are of a scale and intensity that is compatible with the prevailing scale and residential character of surrounding development;

(c) home based businesses that integrate work and lifestyle and are of a scale, nature and intensity that is compatible with local residential character may be established in the zone;

(d) non-residential uses including community uses, child care centres, educational facilities, emergency services, parks, sales offices, and utility installations may also establish in the zone where they:-

(i) directly support the day to day needs of the immediate residential community;

(ii) are of a small-scale and low intensity;

(iii) are compatible with the local residential character and amenity of the area;

(iv) are accessible to the population they serve and are located on the major road

network rather than local residential streets; and

(v) do not have a significant detrimental impact on the amenity of surrounding residents, having regard to hours of operation, generation of odours, noise, waste products, dust, traffic (including on-street parking), electrical interference, lighting and visual impacts;

7

(e) development in the zone provides for an attractive, open and low density form of urban residential living;

(f) to maintain the low intensity character and residential amenity of the zone, development has a low rise built form with a maximum building height of 8.5 metres above ground level;

(g) development has regard to and reflects its local setting by complementing the local built form and architectural vernacular, whilst providing for design solutions to protect against natural hazards;

(h) residential development supports an efficient land use pattern that:-

(i) is well connected to other parts of the urban fabric and planned future development;

(ii) provides for the creation of safe, walkable and legible residential neighbourhoods that integrate with active transport networks;

(iii) facilitates public transport accessibility and use where available; and

(iv) maximises the efficient extension and safe operation of infrastructure;

(i) development does not increase the numbers of people or property (including buildings and structures) at risk due to natural hazards including flood, bushfire or landslide;

(j) development is located, designed and operated to be responsive to local climatic conditions and minimises the consumption of energy and water;

(k) development mitigates adverse impacts on Matters of State Environmental Significance, including creeks, gullies, waterways, wetlands, habitats and vegetation through appropriate location, design, operation and management;

(l) development is provided with the full range of urban services to support the needs of the community, including parks, reticulated water, sewerage, stormwater drainage, sealed roads, pathways, electricity and telecommunication infrastructure; and

(m) development does not adversely impact on the continued operation, viability and maintenance of existing infrastructure or compromise the future provision of planned infrastructure.

(n) In addition to overall outcomes (a) to (m) above, development in Precinct MDR – Medium density residential:-

(i) provides for a mix of medium density residential dwelling choices and forms is provided including dual occupancies and multiple dwellings (such as town houses, villas, terrace and row houses);

(ii) encourages and facilitates urban consolidation and provides for a maximum net residential density of 25 equivalent dwellings per hectare;

8

(iii) maintains a high level of residential amenity and avoids or mitigates potential

adverse impacts having regard to such matters as micro-climate impacts, privacy and overlooking, and building massing and scale relative to surrounding development;

(iv) provides a streetscape character that reflects the regional township character and is maintained through appropriate landscaping and the design and siting of development.
