Executive Summary<br />

LS4<br />

• gives due consideration to Visual L<strong>and</strong>scape Planning in Western Australia; <strong>and</strong><br />

• sets out appropriate requirements for viewshed analysis as part <strong>of</strong> town planning<br />

scheme amendment, development guide plan, subdivision <strong>and</strong> development<br />

application processes.<br />

Manage acid sulphate soils by:<br />

• identifying an ‘Acid Sulphate Soil Special Control Area’ for the areas where<br />

best available mapping indicates that acid sulphate soils are high <strong>and</strong> moderate<br />

risk;<br />

• ensuring that ‘permitted development’ (i.e. development that may occur without<br />

the need for planning approval) provisions are modified in areas susceptible to<br />

acid sulphate soils (the Special Control Area) to ensure that planning approval is<br />

required for development with significant potential to disturb acid sulphate soils;<br />

• requiring any development application in the Special Control Area to be supported<br />

by a ‘self-assessment’ <strong>of</strong> acid sulphate soil risk; <strong>and</strong><br />

• providing additional regulatory oversight <strong>and</strong> adopting a conservative approach to<br />

development where acid sulphate soils are present in proximity to wetl<strong>and</strong>s,<br />

especially Ramsar <strong>and</strong> Conservation Category wetl<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
