BLUE MOUNTAINS LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN 2005 - REG 48
Protected Area--Water Supply Catchment
48 Protected Area--Water Supply Catchment
(1) Consent shall not be granted to development which the Council has been
required by an environmental planning instrument to refer to the Regulatory
Authority (within the meaning of the Water NSW Act 2014 ) on any land within
a Protected Area--Water Supply Catchment (
"protected land" ) unless the consent authority is satisfied that the
development complies with the objectives and other provisions within this
clause.
(2) The objectives for a Protected Area--Water Supply Catchment are--
(a) to protect and, where possible, improve water quality within that part of
the Blue Mountains and the Hawkesbury-Nepean River catchment that is within
Sydney's drinking water catchments, and
(b) to restrict development that will
adversely impact on the natural systems that are essential for maintaining and
improving water quality, and
(c) to restrict development in areas that cannot
be connected to reticulated sewerage, and
(d) to ensure development is
designed and sited to minimise the impact of vegetation clearing and soil
disturbance, which could detrimentally alter the quality or quantity of the
natural surface or sub-surface water movement, and
(e) to encourage the
restoration and maintenance of areas of disturbed native vegetation.
(3)
Development on any land within a Protected Area--Water Supply Catchment is
to-- (a) have a neutral or beneficial effect on the water quality of rivers,
streams and groundwater in the hydrological catchments, including during
periods of wet weather, and
(b) incorporate water quality management
practices that are sustainable over the long term.
(4) The consent authority
shall not consent to any development on protected land that requires the
disposal of wastewater unless-- (a) it is to be connected to a reticulated
sewerage system, and confirmation of availability of the system is received by
the Council from Sydney Water Corporation prior to the granting of consent, or
(b) where a reticulated sewerage system is not available, and in the case only
of a dwelling house to be erected on a lot that existed on the appointed day,
the dwelling house is to be served by a wastewater pump out system.
