2 Application Guidelines and Assessment Checklist examples

Example 1 – Assessment Guidelines (Ararat Rural City Council) Integrated Environmental/Natural Resource Assessment (to be included as part of larger brief) Objectives − Ensure that land use and development is compatible with the environmental

characteristics of the area − Identify and consider environmentally significant and constrained areas

including areas of significant native vegetation cover and areas with land hazards or limitations

− Provide mapping and recommendations to enable the preparation of overlay maps to be included in the Planning Schemes – Environmental Significance, Vegetation Protection, Significant Landscape, Development Plan, Erosion Management, Salinity Management and into the larger planning analysis

Methodology Objectives – determine/identify the objectives for these layers – use MSS’s, Regional Catchment Strategies and other strategies as a basis for the objectives Analyse and interpret existing natural resource data layers (to be sourced from CMA’s and DSE): − vegetation (ecological vegetation classes, roadside vegetation), − salinity (recharge and discharge) and groundwater flow systems, − soils and landform hazards (eg. erosion, water logging), − water resources – where there may be restrictions associated with water

availability − Watercourses and flooding. − Existing planning scheme layers − Other….. Identify links between layers – eg native vegetation and salinity Identify factors/attributes that need to be considered in land use planning – i.e. things to avoid, things to manage, opportunities to be pursued (eg reveg, corridors etc). Consult with natural resource agencies – eg Wimmera, North Central and Glenelg Hopkins CMA’s, DSE and DPI to seek input into the analysis. Small areas may be used


Identify and provide guidance on factors to be considered in terms of various land use types or in different areas. Development/land use scenarios compared with environmental analysis Outcomes Identification of environmentally significant areas as well as areas of sensitivity/hazard for guidance in the planning scheme, possibly even opportunities for restoration/improvement. Planning scheme overlays as well as guidance in MSS’s, local policies and other scheme provisions – eg zones. Example 2 – Letter detailing requirements for an application (South Gippsland)

ESO5 Areas Susceptible to Erosion ESO6 Areas Susceptible to Flooding

Area 29.58ha

Thank you for attending recent meetings regarding your above mentioned property and for providing information (Farm Plan) relating to your intended uses of the land. Council understands that you wish to develop the property for intensive agricultural uses and to construct a dwelling on the property to support these uses. During our last discussion you also mentioned that you proposed to acquire four parcels of land to the south of your property, across the Tarwin River. This would give you approximately 33.5ha of land with an additional Ag Licence (adjoining the Tarwin River) of approximately 10ha. As discussed at our meetings and as you were already aware, the South Gippsland Planning Scheme does not support dwellings on lots between 8ha and 40ha, unless proposed in association with agriculture and unless they satisfy the policy provisions of Clause 22.08. In reviewing your Farm Plan I can offer the following advice in order to facilitate the lodgement of your planning permit application:

1. In order to build your case as to why you require a dwelling the Farm Plan must provide further details for the proposal to justify a dwelling.

a) A plan should be provided which shows what the property is like now, what you intend doing with it, how and when you intend to do things, and what the likely financial return will be. You should consider including information such as:

i.The physical and chemical soil characteristics that demonstrate


whether the areas proposed for cropping are suitable to the particular crop. This may include, but is not limited to: Soil structure, texture, colour, permeability, porosity, density, pH, nutrient content, etc. This will allow Council to ascertain if the soil is compatible with what you are proposing.

ii.Current pasture species and condition. iii.Internal fencing both current and intended. iv.Water storage and sources of water locations. v.Areas of trees and remnant vegetation from which livestock will be

excluded (if any). vi.The availability of power and other services. vii.A description of the state of the property with regard to vermin and

noxious weeds. viii.A site plan showing where each of the proposed uses will be

occurring. i.e. which area the chosen crops will be grown, where stock will be grazed and include proposed dwelling and shed site. The site plan may be supported with an aerial photo and also enlarged sections of the site plan.

b) A more detailed description of the intended farming enterprises. i.Please provide more information regarding the size of each area of land proposed for each plant type.

ii.How much water is required for each different plant type? iii.Where you propose to gain the water and maintain enough water

throughout the years for the proposal. iv.The method of supplying water to plant stock and animal stock. v.What type of climate is required for the proposed crops? Is South

Gippsland suitable? vi.Will trellising be required? vii.Is any processing, value adding, storing or packaging carried out on

the property before the crop is sold? If so, where will this occur? c) Details of the likely amenity affect to neighbouring properties. i.e. during harvesting or processing.

d) How much organic waste will occur from harvesting or processing and how will this be disposed off?

e) It is not an absolute requirement to be able to demonstrate that a farm will be profitable. However it is important to be able to demonstrate that the land will be used productively and that it will give an economic return both for the investment which is made, and for the annual expenditure. In order to demonstrate the economic outcome it is necessary to show the total value of the investment on the intended enterprise(s), and to demonstrate annual costs and returns. It is important that these costs and returns are realistic. This may include cost of plant stock, fertiliser, infrastructure etc and expected gains.

f) It is important that Council knows the intended timing of the development and use so that a judgement can be made as to the state of the general appearance of the property during development and the realistic need for a dwelling. Please indicate the expected timeframes of your proposal. This may include what months you propose to buy plant stock, when you purposes to plant, when you harvest, when you propose to build infrastructure, dwelling etc.


2. Under the South Gippsland Planning Scheme an application to use a lot between 8ha and 40ha for a dwelling must be accompanied by a written statement which explains how the proposed dwelling responds to the decision guidelines for dwellings in the zone. The written statement must provide details in relation to:

a) It must be clearly demonstrated that the dwelling is genuinely required to carry out a long-term agricultural activity on the land. New dwellings in rural areas will only be approved in order to support rural activities and production and are not to meet rural lifestyle objectives that may be in conflict with the rural use of the land.

b) There is a demonstrated net benefit to agricultural productivity on the land. c) Development of the land must not lead to a localised concentration of dwellings so as to change the land uses and / or character of the rural locality. d) Development of the land for the purposes of a dwelling should be compatible with and not adversely impact upon:

i. Any existing agricultural activities on surrounding land ii. The environmental characteristics of the surrounding area iii. The rural character and landscape values of the area, including visual

impact iv. Natural systems, water quality or water quantity in the locality.

e) Dwellings in association with agricultural activities other than extensive animal husbandry will be assessed taking into account the following:

i.Whether a dwelling is reasonably required on the land having regard to the size, intensity and ongoing nature of the proposed agricultural activity.

ii.Whether the dwelling is secondary to the use of the land for agriculture (as opposed to the agricultural activity being secondary to the use of the land for a dwelling.)

iii.Whether the land requirements of the proposed agricultural activities compromise the commercial agricultural activities of the existing farm through a reduction in the size of the existing farm, which may include a tenement or multi-lot holding.

iv.Whether the agricultural activity can be reasonably managed from an off-site location.

v.Whether the objectives of planning will be assisted by the use of permit conditions or s.173 Agreements to require the construction of supporting agricultural infrastructure.

You will note that points 2. a) and b) will be addressed largely through preparation of the Farm Plan to a suitable standard. Please also note that should Council consider your proposal favourably it would be a requirement of the permit to enter into a Section 173 agreement which does not allow further subdivision of the land by excising the dwelling. The 173 agreement may also require the continuation of an intensive agriculture pursuit to justify the ongoing retention of the dwelling.


I also note that you have previously discussed aspects of your property with the Department of Primary Industry (DPI). Council’s advice would be to continue liaison with the DPI. However, we also suggest that an Agronomist can provide you with specific advice on soils and pastures, weeds and vermin. The (DPI), Rural Suppliers and private consultants all employ agronomists. Most farm planners (DPI and private) can help with advice on the overall layout of the property. They can also provide advice on water supply, the position of dams, tree planting and vegetation protection.
