PORT MACQUARIE-HASTINGS COUNCIL<br />
Outdoor dining<br />
The outdoor dining provisions encourage the activation of public space and protect the<br />
movement of pedestrians through these areas. The provisions require the applicant to prepare<br />
a risk assessment where conflict between diners and vehicles may occur.<br />
Tree management<br />
<strong>Council</strong>'s draft Standard Instrument Local Environmental Plan includes clause 5.9 -<br />
Preservation of trees or vegetation. It references a DCP list of 'species or kinds of trees or<br />
other vegetation' to which that clause applies.<br />
The tree management provisions fulfil this requirement.<br />
Roof terraces<br />
The SEPP (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 excludes roof terraces from the<br />
exempt and complying provisions and therefore requires development consent.<br />
Provisions have been drafted to assess any application for a roof terrace.<br />
Environmental Management Areas and Buffers<br />
The development provisions relating to environmental management areas, buffers and hollow<br />
bearing trees that were exhibited were based largely on the existing provisions in the Area 13<br />
Development Control Plan. Since the draft DCP was prepared, <strong>Council</strong> has had cause to<br />
re-examine those provisions and with the assistance of specialist ecological input has made<br />
refinements to these.<br />
Alignment With Strategic Direction<br />
The DCP is part of the <strong>Council</strong>'s regulatory control for development. The DCP is generally<br />
consistent with the Urban Growth Management Strategy.<br />
The DCP is part of a suite of instruments to achieve the objectives of <strong>Council</strong>'s Local<br />
Environment Plan and manage development in the Port Macquarie-<strong>Hastings</strong>.<br />
Consultation<br />
The purpose of this report is to seek approval to commence exhibition of the new and revised<br />
provisions discussed above. The results of that consultation will be reported to <strong>Council</strong> as part<br />
of the draft final DCP.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>'s refinement of the environmental management areas and buffers and hollow bearing<br />
tree provisions was undertaken in consultation with ecological specialists.<br />
<strong>Council</strong> has met with the <strong>Hastings</strong> Construction Industry Association to discuss aspects of the<br />
DCP and the provisions therein.<br />
Planning and Policy Impact<br />
The DCP provisions are based on sound planning practice and will encourage better planning<br />
outcomes in the LGA.<br />
