Editor’s note— In accordance with section 5(2)(a) of the Planning Regulation 2017, the regulated requirements do not apply to this planning scheme. 1.2 OUTLINE OF THE PLANNING SCHEME 1.2.1 The Planning Scheme consists of the following parts: (a) Part 1 – Interpretation; (b) Part 2 – Desired Environmental Outcomes; (c) Part 3 – Planning Area, Development Assessment Tables and Planning Area Codes; (d) Part 4 – Shire Wide Codes; (e) Part 5 – Specific Use Codes; (f) Part 6 – Planning Scheme Maps; and (g) Part 7 – Schedules. 1.2.2 The Desired Environmental Outcomes (DE0’s) (a) The DEOs, for the Shire – (i) are contained in Part 2 of the Planning Scheme; (ii) describe the desired outcomes for the Shire; (iii) are to be read in conjunction with each other; and (iv) where possible, are shown on Map 1; 1.2.3 Planning Areas (a) The Dalrymple Shire is divided into six (6) Planning Areas highlighted in Table 1A. Each Planning Area is defined in terms of its context and role and the desired future character for the locality.

(b) Each code includes: (i) a purpose that describes the outcomes sought by the code; (ii) performance criteria and acceptable solutions designed to achieve the development outcomes for the Shire; and (iii) where an accepted development subject to requirements does not comply with the applicable acceptable solutions, then such development is Code Assessable and a development application is required. 1.3 Categories of Development The categories of development under the Act are: (a) accepted development Editor’s note—A development approval is not required for development that is accepted development. However, certain requirements may apply to some types of development for it to be accepted development. This is referred to as accepted development subject to requirements. Where nominated in the tables of assessment, accepted development subject to requirements must comply with the requirements identified as acceptable outcomes in the relevant parts of the applicable code(s) as identified in the relevant column. Accepted development that does not comply with one or more of the nominated acceptable outcomes in the relevant parts of the applicable code(s) becomes code assessable development, unless otherwise specified. Under section 44(6)(a) of the Act, if a categorising instrument does not apply a category of development to a particular development, the development is accepted development. Schedule 7 of the Regulation also prescribes accepted development. DALRYMPLE SHIRE COUNCIL 6 PLANNING SCHEME Document Set ID: 1186148 Version: 2, Version Date: 02/10/2018 (b) assessable development (i) code assessment (ii) impact assessment Editor’s note—A development approval is required for assessable development. Schedules 9, 10 and 12 of the Regulation also prescribe assessable development. (c) prohibited development. Editor’s note—A development application may not be made for prohibited development. Schedule 10 of the Regulation prescribes prohibited development. The planning scheme states the category of development for certain types of development, and specifies the category of assessment for assessable development in the planning scheme area in the categories of development and assessment tables at Part 3 Zones and Part 4 Overlays. Where more than one use is sought on a site and each use would be subject to a different category of development under the Zone or a defined use or use class would be subject to a different category of development under an Overlay, or under different Overlays, the higher assessment category applies as follows:- (a) accepted development subject to requirements prevails over accepted development; (b) code assessable prevails over accepted development subject to requirements or accepted development; and (c) impact assessable prevails over code assessable, accepted development subject to requirements or accepted development.
