36 Did the council comply with key legislative, planning scheme and other requirements? Recommendation 3. That the council: provide a copy of the planning application to relevant referral authorities, as required by the Planning and Environment Act 1987 notify referral authorities of its final decision in relation to the permit application, as required by the Planning and Environment Act 1987 include all requirements of referral authorities in permit conditions refer applications to other authorities likely to have an interest in the proposal (rather than relying on the conditions attached to planning permits to indicate to applicants that other legislative requirements need to be satisfied) discuss referral and notice requirements of the planning scheme with authorities to refine future requirements. RESPONSE provided by Glenelg Shire Council Recommendation agreed. With the adoption of the planning processes by council in July 2004 and in conjunction with the employment of an in-house planning manager, council is: referring details of proposals to referral authorities notifying referral authorities of final decisions, and including all requirements of referral authorities in permit conditions as required by statute. Council is now operating in accordance with the Planning and Environment Act 1987 in relation to referral authorities. Council refers applications on the basis of whether the referral authorities will be affected or not – rather than whether the authorities are likely to have an interest.
Did the council comply with key legislative, planning scheme and other requirements? 37 3.5 Assessment of planning requirements 3.5.1 Introduction Following initial appraisal, notification and referral comes the crucial assessment stage of the planning process. This section focuses on the following 6 areas where our file review showed that compliance, consistency and possible adverse affects had not been adequately considered: heritage considerations Aboriginal cultural considerations environmental considerations rural subdivisions of land approval of permits without development plans amendments to approved planning permits. Before turning to these 6 areas though, we describe 2 key terms that recur throughout our discussion: zones and overlays. Zones and overlays The strategic policy, long-term directions and outcomes sought by the council are largely implemented through the zone, overlay and “particular provision requirements” of the planning scheme: Zones describe the land uses or developments allowed within the area, such as residential, business, industrial or rural uses. They are used to indicate whether the land use or development proposal requires a permit, and to indicate the conditions applying to permits provided. All property within the Glenelg Shire has been allocated a zone classification (4 public land, 3 residential, 3 industrial, 3 rural, 2 business and 2 special purpose zones). Zones also regulate subdivisions, buildings and works. Overlays define specific characteristics such as land subject to flooding, land with significant vegetation or heritage areas, and incorporate specific controls. Where overlays apply, they operate in addition to the zone requirements and generally concern environmental, landscape, heritage, built form, and land and site management issues. Several overlays can apply to the same piece of land. The overlays contain a statement of objectives, permit requirements and exemptions, if appropriate. The purpose and decision guidelines in the overlay must be taken into account when the council makes a decision about a planning application.
