This plan has been prepared in accordance with Section 72 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the EP&A Act). 1.2 Date of adoption This plan was originally adopted by Bega Valley Shire Council (Council) on 4 September 2013 and came into on 11 September 2013. This plan is subject to amendment, refer to the list of amendments in Section 1.8 of this plan for details. 1.3 Purpose of this plan This plan will be used together with the LEP. The LEP provides the legal framework by which Council’s development decisions are made. It sets out Council's vision and seeks to implement this by way of objectives, policies, zoning tables and zoning and heritage conservation maps. This plan supplements the LEP by providing detailed reasoning, guidelines, requirements and general information relating to the decision making process and ensures that future development is consistent with the desired future character and community vision for the Bega Valley Shire’s towns, villages, urban settlements and rural areas. While the LEP provides the standards that apply to development within the Shire, this plan provides further parameters in which development needs to be designed and considered. Satisfying only the minimum development standards will not necessarily achieve a positive result in terms of an overall good design. Any development must demonstrate that the objectives and requirements of the DCP have also been met. Together these documents form the land use planning and development controls for the Bega Valley Shire local government area. Council promotes the principles of ecologically sustainable development and encourages innovation.
