52 Development within the Lake Jindabyne Visual Protection Area

(1) This clause aims to protect the following attributes within the catchment of Lake Jindabyne:

(a) the visual qualities and scenery,

(b) the recreational functions of the Lake, including its attraction as a fishing destination,

(c) the water storage functions of the Lake.

(2) This clause applies to any land in the Lake Jindabyne Visual Protection Area.

(3) A person must not carry out development on land to which this clause applies, including the clearing of land, except with development consent.

(4) Before granting development consent for development of land allowed to be carried out with development consent by subclause (3), consideration must be given to the following:

(a) the visual impact of the development when viewed from the Lake,

(b) whether the design and construction of any new buildings (including fencing) minimises any adverse impacts on views from the Lake and surrounding areas,

(c) whether provision has been made for the planting of appropriate native species where the planting would visually screen the development.

(5) Development consent must not be granted to development on land to which this clause applies unless the consent authority is satisfied that:

(a) the development will not have an unacceptable visual impact on the scenic quality of the area, and

(b) the development has been designed to minimise any intrusion into the view from the Lake.

(6) Development consent must not be granted for development on land in the Lake Jindabyne Visual Protection Area unless the consent authority has considered a landscape management plan of an appropriate scale clearly showing the potential of any buildings to intrude into the landscape sufficient to enable it to properly assess the visual impact of the proposed development on the views from the Lake.
