Unfortunately, these guidelines were not sufficient. As a result, LGANT is seeking a comprehensive set of guidelines that cater for the needs of both densely populated areas as well as smaller towns. The following Guidelines are provided for the information of subdividers of land in the Northern Territory wherever assets are to be handed over to a local Government Authority (hereafter referred to as 'Council') for it to maintain. These Guidelines represent minimum standards acceptable to Council for the planning and layout of a new Development as well as the design and construction of roads, stormwater drainage, street lighting, footpaths, driveways, open space, landscaping and ancillary items. These Guidelines are not intended to remove responsibility from or limit the creativity of the planning, engineering and construction professionals engaged in the development of subdivision proposals. Rather, these Guidelines shall be employed as a common reference from which mutually recognised and current standards of work and procedures can be applied. These Guidelines and the Australian Standards are subject to regular review - hence it is important to confirm this edition remains current prior to applying these guidelines for a subdivision development proposal. The Guidelines which follow are those applicable to the subdivision layout as well as the physical infrastructure relating to roads, footpaths, driveways, verge areas, stormwater drainage, street lighting, open space and landscaping which are the responsibility of the Council. It is necessary that all Developers read these Guidelines in their entirety prior to submitting a proposal for a new development. Structure of Guidelines The following Subdivision and Development Guidelines are provided for the information of subdividers of land and developers in the Northern Territory. While they define prescriptive requirements, they are not intended to limit the creativity of the planning, engineering and construction professionals engaged. These guidelines should be referred to when planning any new or redevelopment of a site of any size. These guidelines deal mainly with the requirements for large developments of multiple allotment properties and less with single lot redevelopment. The Guidelines represent minimum standards acceptable to Council for the planning, design, construction and maintenance of infrastructure associated with developments. They are written in support of Councils policy and procedure manual and standard drawings. Nothing within the Guidelines removes responsibility from any parties for their actions within the process. The Guidelines recognise the planning philosophy, technical requirements and needs and expectations of stakeholders necessary to create a viable, sustainable, environmentally friendly, safe and liveable community. The development process is viewed by Council as a partnership between all parties involved that provides positive outcomes for stakeholders. The Guidelines assume that the developer is informed and willing to adopt current and innovative practices common to development within the NT and Australia wide. December 2013 Ca rdno (NT) Pty Ltd ii Subdi visio nal Guid elines – Central Desert Regional Council Fo rwar d The Subdivision Development Guidelines document consists of eight parts plus Annexures. These Guidelines are designed to provide the minimum standard for applicable for delivering a subdivision within the Northern Territory. Consequently the Guidelines are divided into a number of sections, these been: Section 1 General Overview of Building a Community Discusses the general intent of the Guidelines. It places emphasis on Council's objective of building new communities that are sustainable, safe, vibrant, efficient and adaptable to change. Applicants should incorporate the design principles within their projects. Section 2 General Requirements Provides a flow chart to guide the Developer through the Planning Process, Design Process and Construction Process. Section 3 The Planning Process Discusses the general planning and development process with reference to the Planning Act, the Northern Territory Planning Scheme and identifies the NT Government and Council’s roles and responsibilities. Section 4 The Design Process Discusses information gathering, approval process, drafting and presentation standards and As Constructed requirements. Section 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Design Standards Discusses all design and specification requirements. Includes Roads, Pathways, Drainage, Lighting and Landscaping. Section 10 The Construction Process Discusses the construction process has it relates to communicating with Council and the public. Section 11 Construction General Conditions Outlines the general conditions of contract to be supplemented with the Technical Specification as discussed in the Design Standards. Section 12 References Annexures Provides additional information on aspects of the guidelines that may need further investigation. They also provide the specific information on each Council’s requirements. December 2013 Ca rdno (NT) Pty Ltd iii Subdi visio nal Guid elines – Central Desert Regional Council Fo rwar d Disclaimer by Council The Guidelines shall be read in conjunction with relevant legislation and any Council approved policies or documentation. All due care has been taken in producing these Guidelines and its consistency with relevant legislation and standards however if any inconsistency is noted Council will provide the necessary clarifications. Council does not guarantee the completeness of the information contained within these Guidelines and does not accept any loss or damage that may result from the use of the Guidelines.

Savanna fires contribute approximately 40–50 % stantially between different savanna vegetation assemblages; of total global annual biomass burning carbon emissions. Re- with a majority of this variation being mirrored by variations cent comparisons of emission factors from different savanna in the modified combustion efficiency (MCE) of different regions have highlighted the need for a regional approach to vegetation classes. We conclude that a significant majority emission factor development, and better assessment of the of the variation in the emission factor for trace gases can be drivers of the temporal and spatial variation in emission fac- explained by MCE, irrespective of vegetation class, as illus- tors.
