Zone C4 Environmental Living

1 Objectives of zone

• To provide for low-impact residential development in areas with special ecological, scientific or aesthetic values.

• To ensure that residential development does not have an adverse effect on those values.

• To allow for development that preserves and enhances the natural landscape setting of the locality.

• To protect and restore trees, bushland and scenic values particularly along ridgelines and in other areas of high visual significance.

• To ensure the character of the locality is not diminished by the cumulative impacts of development.

• To minimise the risk to life, property and the environment by restricting the type or level and intensity of development on land that is subject to natural or man-made hazards.

• To allow the subdivision of land only if the size of the resulting lots makes them capable of development that retains or restores natural features while allowing a sufficient area for development.

• To share views between new and existing development and also from public space.
