Incorporating assessment criteria<br />

4.11 For assessable or self-assessable development, the planning scheme should<br />

incorporate assessment criteria in one or more applicable codes consistent with<br />

achieving the outcomes of Part 4 of the <strong>Policy</strong>. The codes should address all relevant<br />

aspects, including works associated with the development.<br />

4.12 The suggested approach to incorporating assessment criteria is to have an overlay map<br />

showing a Key Resource Area with assessment criteria in one or more codes. See<br />

Appendix 2 for more advice on assessment criteria.<br />

Information required for development assessment<br />

4.13 A planning scheme or planning scheme policy should state the information that may<br />

be requested from an applicant for assessing development in a Key Resource Area.<br />

4.14 It is recommended that this information be stated in a planning scheme policy, since it<br />

is used to support the operation of the planning scheme. An advantage of using a<br />

planning scheme policy is that the information can be regularly updated without<br />

having to amend the planning scheme.<br />

4.15 A planning scheme or planning scheme policy could also state that advice may be<br />

sought by the local government, for example from the Mineral <strong>and</strong> Extractive<br />

<strong>Planning</strong> Unit of the Department of Mines <strong>and</strong> Energy. It should be made clear that<br />

this action is neither m<strong>and</strong>atory nor an imposition upon the applicant, <strong>and</strong> is not a<br />

requirement of the statutory referral processes under the Integrated Development<br />

Assessment System (IDAS) of the Integrated <strong>Planning</strong> Act 1997.<br />

<strong>Planning</strong> for extractive resources of local significance<br />

4.16 A local government is encouraged to incorporate similar outcomes for other extractive<br />

resources of local significance in their planning scheme as ‘Local Resource Areas’.<br />

However, it is essential that the significance of the extractive resource area identified,<br />

whether <strong>State</strong> or local, be distinguished in the planning scheme, since the justification<br />

for the outcomes sought may be different.<br />

5. DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT<br />

Achieving the <strong>Policy</strong> outcome through development assessment<br />

5.1 The <strong>Policy</strong> outcome is achieved when development is compatible with the existing or<br />

future extraction, processing <strong>and</strong> transportation of extractive resources from a Key<br />

Resource Area. Part 4 of the <strong>Policy</strong> provides specific criteria for achieving this<br />

compatibility for each element of the Key Resource Areas.<br />
