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 />
