Subdivision is a legal definition of ownership. Ownership of a title may provide the ability to operate an activity. Sustainable management includes the creation of titles that are usable.
Usable must include the provision of a safe building platform, effective sewerage disposal and site access.
Consideration will also be given to future activities such as urban growth or wetland restoration, people and associated amenity values, natural and physical resources and the constraints of natural hazards.
Council's servicing strategy and contributions policy must not be compromised by ad hoc servicing requests.
The form of subdivision can affect the manner in which land is used. The allied objectives and policies of the Plan must not be compromised particularly those associated with natural hazards, transportation and amenity values.
The Council is a signatory to the Urban Design Protocol and the consideration of the key principles of the Urban Design Protocol and the National Guidelines for Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design will contribute to the enhancement of the community through good quality urban design.
