LAND inSights ATTACHMENT A – DRAFT LEPS ITEM 11.5 COUNCIL 12/10/2011 Executive Summary Landscape and Land Qualities Background Three distinct landforms are immediately noticeable in the Shire, comprising the broad and lowlying coastal plain, bounded by the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge along the west coast, and the Whicher Range Scarp to the south-east. The landscape of the Shire assists in identifying a ‘sense of place’. The land qualities and degradation risks are inherent characteristics generally associated with the different soil-landscape units and soils types in a specific area. The land qualities and degradation risks also affect the land capability or suitability for certain land uses. Issues Key threats to the identified values associated with landscape are identified below: • Highly visible development Development of areas that are highly visible and have natural landscape character will result in the erosion of the aesthetic and cultural values associated with the Shire’s landscape, which is an important component of the identity and attraction of the Shire. • Improved access Unmanagerd overs has the potential to result in land degradation problems including erosion, damage to vegetation and degrading soil structure. • Impacts on character Changes to important landscapes, such as the wetland chain near Busselton, as well as the topography and remnant vegetation surrounding Dunsborough, may alter the character of the townsites, even if development in these areas is not necessarily highly visible. • Impacts on biodiversity Many of the significant landscapes within the Shire overlap with important environmental features. • Protection of views Views of significant landscapes are highly valued and there is a natural tendency for development to be sited in such a manner as to maximise views. Public views and landscapes should wherever possible be protected so that development does not diminish or unnecessarily restrict the views that would otherwise be available. • Maintenance of existing urban areas While not necessarily an environmental issue, some consideration should be given to the landscapes within the existing urban centres of the Shire.

LAND inSights ATTACHMENT A – DRAFT LEPS ITEM 11.5 COUNCIL 12/10/2011 Executive Summary Key threats to the land qualities and land degradation risks in the Shire include the following activities: • Development impacts Inappropriately located development has the potential to change land qualities. For instance, removal of vegetation for development can change the local ground and water surface flows, increase risk of water and wind erosion, and exacerbate soil salinity. • Acid sulphate soils Excavation for development can lead to the exposure or development of acid sulphate soils. Objectives The planning framework of the Shire shall: 1. Protect the current level of landscape integrity on the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge. 2. Protect, and where possible improve through the development process, the current level of landscape integrity around Busselton and Dunsborough. 3. Ensure that landscape is a legitimate issue to be considered during the subdivision and development process. 4. Encourage landscape improvements. 5. Prevent the worsening of land qualities in the Shire, particularly on the coastal plain. 6. Ensure development proposals recognise and manage land qualities during the development process. 7. Recognise that some land degradation issues can be dealt with through engineering solutions and land management practices. Actions No. Action Priority LS1 Review the ‘Landscape Value Area’ provisions in the Scheme, focusing on identifying I and managing the areas of the Shire with the greatest landscape value. LS2 Maintain the physical and visual separateness of urban settlements, especially O Busselton and Dunsborough. LS3 Review and supplement visual landscape local planning policies to ensure that the local planning framework: M • identifies areas of visual landscape significance; • identifies and protect the landscape values of key entry points to Busselton and Dunsborough as depicted on Figure 5.1; • considers/supplements existing TPS provisions for landscape protection in and around Busselton and Dunsborough; • reflects and updates the Caves Road Visual Management Policy; • is consistent with State Planning Policy 6.1: Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge Policy; VER 1 – FINAL DRAFT Shire of Busselton Local Environmental Planning Strategy Report 3 – Objectives, Strategies and Actions November 2010 Page 9
