3. Development does
not increase the
number of people
living in the
separation area.
4. To the greatest
extent practicable
development
minimises the
potential adverse
effects from existing
or future extractive
industries on people
working or
congregating in the
separation area.
3.1 No solutions provided.
4.1 The numbers of people
working or congregating in
the separation area are not
increased; or
4.2 Development is compatible
with the potential effects
arising from existing or future
extractive industry; or
4.3 Development incorporates
design, orientation, and
construction measures that
mitigate the potential adverse
effects from an existing or
future extractive industry to
acceptable levels; or

State Planning Policy 2/07 Guideline
Note for 3: Development that increases residential densities or
increases the numbers of lots that have a residential component in
the separation area for a resource/processing area are not
supported.
Note for 4.2: Some uses other than those listed in column 1 may
be compatible with the potential effects arising from existing or
future extractive industry. These uses may create one of more of
the effects associated with an extractive industry operation e.g.
noise or ground vibration. This Policy does not suggest that these
uses are suitable in the separation area merely that they may be
compatible with existing or future extractive industry and should
be assessed on their merits.
Note for 4.3: The applicant will be expected to demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the assessment manager that people associated with
the use would not be adversely affected by the effects of noise,
dust, ground vibration, or air blast overpressure from an existing or
future extractive industry. See Table B of this appendix for more
information on how this can be achieved.
Note for 4.4: The hours listed in 4.4 are generally associated with
the operation of extractive industries but an extractive industry
could have extended hours of operation and the uses would need
to operate outside these times.
