8.2.6 Extractive resources and minerals

8.2.6.1 Application

This code applies to development where the code is identified as applicable in the table of assessment for the extractive resources and minerals overlay code. When using this code, reference should be made to section 5.3.2 and where applicable, section 5.3.3 located in Part 5.

8.2.6.2 Purpose

  1. The purpose of the extractive resources and minerals overlay code is to protect extractive resources within a key resource area from development that might prevent or constrain current or future extraction of the resource.
  2. The purpose of this code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:
    1. Development ensures that resource/processing areas and transport routes are protected from encroaching development that is not a compatible extractive industry use of the key resource area.
    2. Development for a sensitive or incompatible use maintains an effective separation from a key resource area and does not encroach within a key resource area's separation area and its transport route separation area.
    3. Development, other than for an extractive industry, is buffered from and is able to mitigate impacts likely to occur as a result of an extraction of resources from a key resource area.

8.2.6.3 Assessment criteria

Table 8.2.6.3.1—Assessable development

Performance outcomes Acceptable outcomes
Development within a resource/processing area ​

PO1

Development in the KRA resource/processing area, the KRA separation area or the KRA route separation area maintains the long–term availability and ability to extract the extractive resource.

AO1.1

Development in a KRA resource/processing area is for an extractive industry or is directly associated with an extractive industry.

OR

AO1.2

Development not associated with the KRA does not involve a sensitive use and does not increase the number of people living and/or working in the KRA.

OR

AO1.3

Where involving reconfiguring a lot development does not result in an increase in the number of lots within the KRA.

OR

AO1.4

Development is for a temporary use.

PO2

Development will not adversely affect the safe and efficient operation of vehicles transporting extractive materials.

AO2

Development does not increase the number of properties with access points to the KRA transport route.

PO3

Development incorporates measures to mitigate the potential adverse effects from existing or future extractive industry on people working or congregating in the separation area.

AO3.1

The numbers of people working or congregating in the separation area are not increased.

​AO3.2

Development incorporates design, orientation and construction materials that mitigate the potential adverse effects from an existing or future extractive industry to acceptable levels by:

  1. locating buildings and structures the greatest distance practicable from the resource/processing area and associated transportation route, and
  2. designing buildings so the areas where people live, work and congregate (habitable rooms) are furthermost from the resource/processing area and associated transportation route, and
  3. minimising openings in walls closest to these effects, and
  4. providing mechanical ventilation to habitable rooms, and
  5. use of appropriate construction methods and materials including insulation and glazing materials, and
  6. providing private outdoor recreation space adjacent to a building façade shielded from the extractive industry or resource.
