Victor Harbor (City)
VICTOR HARBOR URBAN
INTRODUCTION
Background
The town of Victor Harbor is an important centre for commercial and professional services. The
foreshore reserve south of the town centre is the focal point for holiday makers for the whole south
coast urban area. At peak periods considerable vehicular and pedestrian activity occurs in this area.
The town has expanded rapidly over recent years as a result of its increasing popularity as a tourist
resort and retirement area. This expansion has created a need in the town centre area for a large
number of services and facilities. The town centre provides the main regional shopping and various
business and community facilities for the South Coast Urban Area and its rural hinterland.
The town contains a range of tourist accommodation, including caravan parks, motels, hotels, guest
houses, holiday houses and flats. Tourist activities are concentrated near the river estuaries, the town
centre, and along the foreshore.
The two main residential areas are at Encounter Bay and Victor Harbor, from parts of which extensive
views of the Bay and Islands can be obtained. There is substantial retirement housing in the older
established residential areas.
An area of allotments in Yuruga immediately to the north of Victor Harbor provides opportunities for
living in an attractive, substantially rural, environment.
In addition to the foreshore recreation area with its beaches, there is also in Victor Harbor a wide
range of community and recreational facilities, including a golf course, ovals, tennis courts, bowling
greens, squash courts, a trotting track, boat launches and a sailing club. There are also public and
special educational establishments, centres of religious activity and major health services available in
the District Hospital.
Communications within the town are not ideal because of the difficult topography which has
constrained the location of roads and urban development and the relatively haphazard way in which
closer settlement has occurred over a period of more than 150 years. Notwithstanding this,
development of the town has progressed steadily by the infilling of allotments created in the 1960s to
a stage where further expansion of the area and the facilities of the town can be expected to occur in
the foreseeable future.
The Victor Harbor (Town) Structure Plan (Map ViH/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement A) sets out the strategy
to accommodate the needs of the population and visitors to the expanded urban area which has been
and will continue to be one of the State's primary tourist destinations. The Structure Plan illustrates
generally the desired strategy for the future development of the town through the following measures:
(a) compact development within the limits of the existing urban area;
(b) provision for future urban residential expansion in an orderly and compact manner;
(c) scope for expansion, rationalisation and redevelopment of facilities within the Town Centre;
(d) consolidation and rationalisation of existing local service Centres in Hayborough, Victoria
Street and Yilki;
(e) provision for services and accommodation for visitors within Tourist Accommodation areas;
(f)
provision for a range of industrial activities in the industrial area at Newland and in a new
industrial park on Waterport Road;
(g) protection and enhancement of the natural environment of the rivers Hindmarsh and Inman
and the foreshore area for the enjoyment of the public;
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

Victor Harbor (City)
(h) protection of views of the rural backdrop and natural skyline behind the town of Victor
Harbor in the rural living area (see also the Victor Harbor (Town) Structure Plan (Map ViH/1
(Overlay 1) Enlargement A));
(i)
protection of the attractive appearance of the town as viewed from major routes approaching
and within the town; and
(j)
classification of primary and secondary arterial roads in a hierarchy of function and
importance to provide for orderly and safe traffic movement.
There are no major industries operating in the town of Victor Harbor although several service
industries are well established. As the population and the level of business activity has grown in the
district, pressures to develop industries and commercial facilities in unsatisfactory locations has
generated a need for appropriate and adequate areas to be provided for these uses.

Victor Harbor (City)
COUNCIL-WIDE
Introduction
Area
The following objectives and principles of development control apply to the whole of the area of the
City of Victor Harbor.
Arrangement
The policies for the area of the City of Victor Harbor are expressed firstly in relation to the whole of the
Council area and then in more detail for individual zone and policy areas.
Reference should be made to the policies for the Council-wide area, and then for the relevant zone
and policy area, to determine all policies applicable to any particular land or to any particular kind of
development.
Background
The Victor Harbor district has many attributes not shared by other Council districts in South Australia,
including the scenic features of the Fleurieu Peninsula and the South Coast. Located about one hour’s
driving time from metropolitan Adelaide, and having congenial climate and a distinctive character, the
town of Victor Harbor is a very attractive destination for day-trippers, week-enders and holiday-makers
alike. The urban area is also becoming a very popular place for retirement living.
The growing popularity of Victor Harbor has reinforced the traditional role of the town as the main
urban centre servicing the South Coast. The rural area includes much prime dairying country,
particularly in the fertile river valleys. Sheep and cattle grazing occurs extensively throughout the
district.
The scenic attraction of the rural areas, with associated features of interest, such as Hindmarsh Falls,
the Spring Mount Conservation Park and the magnificent coastal scenery and beaches contribute to
the overall attraction of Victor Harbor for tourists, recreational and retirement activities.
General
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
Satisfaction of the social, cultural, economic, and environmental needs of the
population of the district and surrounding region.
Objective 2:
The development of employment opportunities for the district population.
Objective 3:
Provision for a choice of lifestyles within the law and custom of the community.
Objective 4:
Provision of services to encourage and provide for visitors to the district.
Objective 5:
Development of Victor Harbor township as the main urban centre in the district.
Objective 6:
Coordination of district development with that of the neighbouring Council areas.
Objective 7:
Avoidance of nuisance from pollution, noise, light or any other source.
Form of Development
Objective 8:
Orderly development of the district, with economic extension of services and
facilities and land division which sets aside suitable sites for shopping, open
space, employment, education, recreation, human services and community
facilities.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
12
Objective 9:
Victor Harbor (City)
A proper distribution and segregation of living, working and recreational activities
by the allocation of suitable areas of land for those purposes.
A proper distribution and segregation of residential, business, commercial, industrial and recreational
development benefits the community and enables a town to function more efficiently. Accessibility is
safer and more convenient; property values remain more stable and fewer difficulties arise due to
incompatible development being intermixed, for example workshops and housing. A traffic and
transport system can be designed to cater for the future movement of people and goods, and public
utility authorities can design and provide services appropriate to the pattern of anticipated growth.
Objective 10: The proper location of public and community facilities by the reservation of
suitable land in advance of need.
It is prudent to ensure that land required for public purposes should be available in the right place at
the right time by reserving such land for future acquisition before it is used for other purposes.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
1
Development should be in accordance with the City of Victor Harbor Structure Plan (Maps ViH/1
(Overlay 1) and (Overlay 2)), the Victor Harbor (Town) Structure Plan (Map ViH/1 (Overlay 1)
Enlargement A) and the Victor Harbor (Town) District Centre Structure Plan (Map Vi1 (Overlay 1)
Enlargement B).
2
Development should be undertaken in accordance with the relevant provisions of the zone and/or
policy area and having regard to the location and condition of that land concerned.
3
Development should not interfere with the effective and proper use of any other land in the
vicinity, or prevent the attainment of the relevant zone objectives which apply to that other land.
4
Development should minimise alteration to the existing land form and not be undertaken in
locations which require substantial earthworks.
5
Earthworks should be retained and landscaped in order to minimise visual impact on adjacent
properties.
6
The condition of:
(a) land which is derelict;
(b) buildings which are ruinous;
(c) land which interferes with the reasonable use of other land;
(d) land or buildings in which objects or materials are stored or kept in a manner which is
unsightly or prejudicial to the health or safety of the community; or
(e) abandoned quarry workings which are, or are liable to become, unsightly,
should be remediated and improved.
7
Development should not take place excessively in advance of a demonstrated need for such a
development. Extension of urban areas should take place only in compact and contiguous units
of development.
8
Development should take place in a manner which will not add significantly to the cost or difficulty
of utilising known mineral resources.
9
Development which is likely to be affected adversely by flooding should not take place where:
(a) there is a significant risk of flooding or aggravation of flooding of other land; or
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
13
Victor Harbor (City)
(b) information is available indicating that risk to life or property could result from a
100-year return period flood.
10
Building development should be located and take place with reasonable and effective
precautions being taken against the risk of damage from ground instability.
11
Development should not contribute to the pollution of air, water or land.
12
Development should take place in a manner which is not liable to cause an unreasonable
nuisance to the community:
(a) by the emission of noise, vibration, odour, fumes, smoke, vapour, steam, soot, ash,
dust, grit, oil, waste water, waste products, electrical interference or light;
(b) by stormwater or the drainage of run-off from the land; or
(c) loss of privacy.
13
Development should take place in a manner which does not cause soil erosion or the silting of
watercourses, or create any unstable embankment or cutting.
14
Development should not create unreasonable microclimatic effects within its locality through
patterns of wind, temperature, daylight, sunlight, glare or shadow.
15
Development should provide appropriate shelter for pedestrians and should not be detrimental to
the convenience and safety of pedestrians in its locality.
16
Adequate provision should be made for the handling and storage of refuse.
17
Development, including land division, should not occur where site contamination has been
identified or is suspected unless the site(s) has been assessed and remediated as necessary, to
ensure that they are suitable for the proposed use.
Land Division (General)
18
Land should not be divided:
(a) in a manner which would prevent the satisfactory future division of the land, or any part
thereof;
(b) where land in the vicinity has been divided and the allotments have not been
substantially developed;
(c) if the proposed use, or the establishment of the proposed use, is likely to lead to undue
erosion of the land or land in the vicinity thereof;
(d) unless wastes produced by the proposed use of the land, or any use permitted by the
principles of development control, can be managed so as to prevent pollution of a
public water supply or any surface or underground water resources;
(e) if the size, shape and location of, and the slope and nature of the land contained in
each allotment resulting from the division is unsuitable for the purpose for which the
allotment is to be used;
(f)
if any part of the land is likely to be inundated by tidal or floodwaters and the proposed
allotments are to be used for a purpose which would be detrimentally affected when the
land is inundated;
(g) where community facilities or public utilities are lacking or inadequate:
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
14
Victor Harbor (City)
(h) where the proposed use of the land is the same as the proposed use of other existing
allotments in the vicinity, and a substantial number of the existing allotments have not
been used for that purpose;
(i)
if it would cause an infringement of any provisions of the Development Act or by-law or
regulation made there under;
(j)
unless, when land is divided adjoining streams in the Watershed Zone, defined under
the Waterworks Act 1932-1981, provision has been made for a reserve of at least
30 metres in width along the watercourse. The rear of any allotment should not abut
such a reserve;
(k) unless any reserves or easements necessary for the provision of public utility services
have been provided:
(l)
unless a water supply sufficient for the purpose for which the allotment is to be used is
available to each allotment;
(m) unless stormwater is capable of being drained safely and efficiently from each
proposed allotment and disposed of from the land in a satisfactory manner;
(n) unless provision has been made for the disposal of waste waters, sewage and other
effluents from each allotment without risk to health;
(o) unless roads and thoroughfares are provided where necessary for safe and convenient
communication with adjoining land and neighbouring localities;

49.1
The design of the land division should facilitate the major storm drainage system having
the capacity to safely convey stormwater flows for ARI = 100 years, assuming 50% minor
system blockage; and
49.2
The major storm drainage system design outflow is matched to the capacity of any

The arrangement of roads, allotments, reserves and open space should enable the provision of a
stormwater drainage system that:
(a) retains and protects natural watercourses, drainage lines and vegetation;
(b) incorporates detention1 and/or retention2 basins necessary to maintain the peak volume
and rate of peak flow run-off from newly developed areas at levels as near as possible
to those which existed prior to urban development;

(e) integrates with the open space system and surrounding area; and
(f)
directs stormwater generated from roads and car parks through natural stormwater
treatment and devices such as swales (within road reserves and/or public open space),
bio-retention systems and wetlands.
1
’Detention Basin’ is a basin/structure to hold run-off for a short period of time to reduce flow rates and later release
run-off into the drainage system to continue in the hydrological cycle. The volume of run-off remains relatively
unchanged in the process.
2
’Retention Basin’ holds run-off for considerable periods causing water to continue in the hydrological cycle by
infiltration, percolation or evapo-transpiration. These structures result in a reduction in the volume of water
discharged to the downstream drainage system

(b) where practicable, provide for stormwater flows to be detained and retained close to its
source.
Design Techniques (Design Techniques illustrate ONE WAY of satisfying the associated
principle of development control)
51.1
The design of the land division should facilitate:
(a) the minor storm drainage system having the capacity to convey stormwater flows for
ARI = 5 years for suburban residential lots with neighbourhood densities* not
greater than 10 dwellings per ha, ARI = 10 years for densities between 10 and 20
dwellings per ha, and ARI = 20 years for neighbourhood densities* greater than 20
dwellings per ha;
(b) the minor system design outflow being matched to the capacity of any existing
downstream system.
* Neighbourhood density means the ratio of the number of dwellings to the area of the land (including
associated neighbourhood or local facilities) they occupy. The area includes internal public streets, all areas
of public open space, local or neighbourhood shops, primary and secondary schools, local community
services, local employment areas, and half the width of adjoining arterial roads.
Water Quality Management
52
The design of the land division should facilitate the storm drainage system:
(a) maximising the interception, retention and removal of water-borne pollutants (including
sediment, litter, nutrients, microbial contaminants and other potential toxic materials)
prior to their discharge to receiving water, whether surface or underground;
(b) ensuring the continuation of, or assist in the establishment of, healthy and diverse
wetland environments; and
(c) minimising the potential for sewage overflows to enter the system.
53
Detention basins should be designed and constructed to allow sediments to settle, prior to
discharge so as to treat stormwater prior to discharge into watercourses.
Water Conservation
54
The design of the site (including landscaping, paving and car parking) and building should
facilitate conservation of main water and in turn reliance on the River Murray by:
(a) avoiding the need for it;

(b) use of grey water for specified uses in accordance with health requirements;
(c) use of water efficient fixtures in all new buildings (for example, AAA rated fixtures
under the Water Conservation Rating and Labelling Scheme);
(d) using insulation, shading and natural ventilation to cool houses as opposed to
evaporative air conditioning;
(e) xeriscape landscaping – use of native plants in new developments that generally use
less water than non-indigenous species;
(f)
permeable rather than impermeable paving;
(g) use of swales and soakage pits; and
(h) installation of rainwater tanks.
55
Land division should allow for the incorporation of treatment systems which enable the reuse of
‘grey water’ for the flushing of toilets and watering of gardens. Grey water is wastewater
generated from bathrooms (showers, baths, spas and hand basins) and laundries (washing
machines and troughs), but does not include wastewater from kitchens the which has the
potential to cause unpleasant odour.
Information Technology
56
Information and communication technology infrastructure should be supplied to all dwellings in
association with other services such as electricity, water and sewerage.

125 Earthworks resulting in the filling of land more than 1.5 metres above natural ground surface
should be avoided, and only undertaken where existing vegetation, proposed landscaping, or the
form of the building would assist in screening the earthworks from view from the adjoining road.
In addition, retaining walls over one metre in height are to be:
(a) located a minimum of one metre inside the boundary of dwelling site; and
(b) if located closer to a road boundary than a dwelling, constructed to allow landscaping to
be installed above and over the wall.
Residential Parks
126 Residential parks which are principally designed for residents should be located in areas with
access to employment, shops, schools, public transport and community and recreation facilities.
127 Residential parks should be designed to:
(a) minimise potential conflicts between long-term residents and short-term tourists
(b) protect the privacy and amenity of occupants through landscaping and fencing
(c) minimise traffic speeds and provide a safe environment for pedestrians
(d) include centrally located recreation areas
(e) include extensive landscaping to enhance the appearance of the locality, with a
landscape buffer around the perimeter of the site
(f)
ensure that adequate amenity blocks (showers, toilets, laundry and kitchen facilities)
and service facilities (eg public telephones, kiosks and restaurants) are provided to
serve the population to be accommodated by the facility.
128 Visitor car parking should be provided at the rate of:
(a) one space per 10 sites to be used for accommodation for parks with less than 100 sites
(b) one space per 15 sites to be used for accommodation for parks with greater than
100 sites.
129 A minimum of 12.5 percent of a park should comprise communal open space, landscaped areas
and recreation areas.
130 Landscaping should comprise locally indigenous species that are appropriate to the development
and the subject land, and facilitate amenity and environmental sustainability.

Centres and Shops
OBJECTIVES
Objective 20: Shopping, administrative, cultural, community, entertainment, educational,
religious, and recreational, facilities located in integrated centres.
Objective 21: Centres established and developed in accordance with a hierarchy based on
function of each type of centre as appropriate for the region.
Objective 22: A hierarchy of centres located in centre zones.
Objectives 20, 21 and 22 apply to the grouping of facilities into centres and the location of those
centres.
The grouping of a wide range of facilities in integrated centres will benefit the community by
encouraging economic, and shared, use of facilities, providing a meeting place for communities, and
encouraging ready access by both public and private transport.
The hierarchy of centres is based on the principle that each type of centre provides a proportion of the
total community requirement for goods and services commensurate with its role.
Centres outside the area of Metropolitan Adelaide are of the following types:
(a) District Centre;
(b) Neighbourhood Centre; and
(c) Local Centre.
The degree to which the various facilities can be located within a centre will depend, among other
things, upon the size of the centre, the specific policies relating to the centre, the implications of
competing centres for the population being served, and the characteristics of the population to be
served. Each development proposal for a centre should be evaluated against that centre's, and other
centres', defined roles in the centres hierarchy.
New development in centres should result in the expansion of the total range of retail goods and
services available to the population to be served, have regard to the location and role of other existing
and proposed centre zones, and be of a size and type which would not demonstrably lead to the
physical deterioration of any existing centre zone, or designated shopping area.
The identification of each zone or area in a hierarchy of centres should be such as to:
(a) cater for existing and future shopping and community needs;
(b) provide a degree of choice in the location of centre facilities;
(c) be safely and readily accessible to the population to be served, particularly by public
transport (where appropriate), and obviate the need for unscheduled large-scale traffic and
transport works;
(d) have minimal adverse impacts on residential areas;
(e) concentrate development on one side of a primary road, or one quadrant of a primary road
intersection, and have minimal adverse impact on traffic movements on primary roads.
Linear extension of centre zones, or areas, along primary and primary arterial roads is to be
minimised;
(f)
reflect the potential to rehabilitate, or extend, existing centre zones, or areas, and make
effective use of existing investment in public infrastructure, utilities and transport, with any
costs involved being offset by benefits to the population being served;
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
45
Victor Harbor (City)
(g) be of a size and shape suitable for their functions, with car parking provided;
(h) have regard to the maintenance of retail employment levels in the area; and
(i)
have regard to the degree to which existing centres satisfy the above objectives.
The development of new centres may be staged, and specific areas may be set aside for community
and other non-retail uses, with the total integrated development producing a character desired for that
particular centre.
Objective 23: District centres to include shopping facilities that provide mainly 'convenience'
goods and a sufficient range of 'comparison' goods to serve the major weekly
shopping trips, as well as a comparable range of other community facilities.
The size of a district centre and the range of facilities within it may vary throughout the region but
should be related to the size and characteristics of the population it serves. One district centre may
function as a 'Regional Centre' with a commensurate increase in size and range of functions. The size
of a district centre, and the range of facilities within it, should be related to the size and characteristics
of the population it serves.
The following list indicates those facilities which are appropriate in a fully developed district centre:

Objective 24: Neighbourhood centres to include shopping facilities that provide mainly
'convenience' goods to serve the day-to-day needs of the neighbourhood, and a
limited range of more frequently required 'comparison' goods as well as a narrow
range of facilities. There are not likely to be administrative facilities in
neighbourhood centres.
The size of a neighbourhood centre, and the range of facilities within it, may vary within the region but
it should be related to the size and characteristics of the population it serves.
The following list indicates those facilities which are appropriate in a fully developed neighbourhood
centre:
Bank
Branch Library

Objective 25: Local centres to include shopping and local community facilities to serve the
day-to-day needs of the local community.
Local centres on arterial, or primary, roads should comply with the same criteria as those for other
centres.
Objective 26: Retailing, not consistent with facilities envisaged in a centre, located and
operated so as not to adversely affect any designated centre, commercial,
business or residential area, and traffic movement on local, primary and primary
arterial, roads.
The diversification of locations for retailing, which provides goods and services not compatible with the
grouping of facilities envisaged for regional, district and neighbourhood centres, may be considered so
long as the integrity of the centre hierarchy is not compromised and the development is compatible
with land uses in the locality.
Retail development of this kind should be evaluated having regard to:
(a) its locational and operational compatibility with existing shopping, business, commercial
areas, including the nature of the goods and materials to be stocked, and the noise levels of
vehicles and plant used on, and servicing, the site;
(b) its effect on adjacent residential development;
(c) the increased use of local and primary roads;
(d) the adequacy of vehicular access and car parking; and
(e) the maintenance of building and site development standards required for centres.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
131 Shopping development should be located as follows:
(a) a shop, or group of shops, with a gross leasable area of greater than 450 square
metres should be located in a business, centre, or shopping zone, or area;
(b) a shop or group of shops with a gross leasable area of 450 square metres or less
should not be located on a primary arterial road unless located in a business, centre, or
shopping zone, or area;
(c) a shop or group of shops with a gross leasable area of 450 square metres or less
located outside a business, centre, or shopping zone, or area, should:
(i)
not hinder the development or function of any business, centre, or shopping zone,
or area; and
(ii)
conform to the design, access, and car parking requirements for business, centre
and shopping zone, or area, set out in principles of development control numbered
132, 133 and 134 below.
132 Business, centre, and shopping zones, or areas, should meet the following criteria:
(a) their location and assigned role in the hierarchy of designated centres and designated
centre zones or areas;
(b) the need to integrate facilities in the zone or area;
(c) the need for any future expansion of the zone or area as a whole;
(d) multiple use of facilities and sharing of utility spaces;
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
47
Victor Harbor (City)
(e) attractive development, with a unified design of buildings and a close relationship
between shops in a lively setting;
(f)
materials compatible with the natural features of the site and adjacent development;
(g) acceptable microclimatic conditions and degree of exposure in designing and orienting
buildings, and locating open space and parking areas;
(h) development and operation of facilities within a zone, or area, compatible with adjoining
areas. This should be promoted through landscaping, screen walls, centre orientation,
location of access ways, buffer strips and transitional use areas;
(i)
signs designed in scale with the amenity of the area, and be carefully located.
Illumination from signs or floodlights should not spill over to adjacent areas;
(j)
access and parking for residential areas located with centres separate from the access
and car parking areas serving the other centre facilities; and
(k) integration of public transport requirements, where appropriate.
133 Provision for the movement of people and goods within business, centre, and shopping, zones,
or areas, should comply with the following:
(a) development should not cause inconvenient and unsafe traffic and pedestrian
movements, or be likely to result in the need for significant expenditure on transport and
traffic works, or facilities within, or outside the locality;
(b) developments should be concentrated for pedestrian convenience and not allowed to
extend unnecessarily along road frontages; (increasing the depth of development is a
more desirable alternative);
(c) the separation of pedestrian and vehicle movements within zones is most desirable to
ensure safety and convenience;
(d) access to car parking areas should be designed not to cause congestion or detract
from the safety of traffic, on abutting roads;
(e) adequate and convenient provision should be made for service vehicles and the
storage and removal of waste goods and materials;
(f)
car parks should be orientated to facilitate direct and convenient access of pedestrians
between them and the facilities they serve; and
(g) parking areas should be consolidated and co-ordinated into convenient groups, rather
than located individually, and access points should be minimised.
134 Landscaping should form an integral part of centre design, and be used to foster human scale,
define spaces, reinforce paths and edges, screen utility areas, and generally enhance the visual
amenity of the locality.
135 Centres should be highly accessible to the population to be served, especially by public transport,
where applicable.
136 Centres should have a minimal adverse impact on traffic movements on primary and primary
arterial, roads.
137 Centres should develop on one-side of a primary, or primary arterial, road, or one quadrant of a
primary, or primary arterial, road intersection. Where centre facilities already straddle a primary or
primary arterial, road, or the intersection of two primary, or primary arterial, roads, development
within them should:
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
48
Victor Harbor (City)
(a) concentrate on one-side of the primary, or primary arterial, road, or one quadrant of the
primary, or primary arterial, road intersection; and
(b) minimise the need for pedestrian and vehicular movement across the primary or
primary arterial, road, from one part of the centre to another.
138 Residential development within a Centre Zone should be designed to minimise noise impacts on
its occupants from other land uses occurring, or reasonably expected to occur, within the Zone.
139 Residential development should not unreasonably interfere with the operation of surrounding
non-residential uses that form part of a locality’s desired character.
140 Noise sensitive development should be designed to protect its occupants from external noise
sources contemplated within the relevant Zone or Policy Area and that does not unreasonably
interfere with the operation of non-residential uses contemplated within the relevant Zone or
Policy Area.
141 Development with potential to emit significant noise (including licensed entertainment premises
and licensed premises) should incorporate appropriate noise attenuation measures into their
design to prevent noise from causing unreasonable interference with the desired character of the
locality, as contemplated in the relevant Zone or Policy Area.
142 Centres should have minimal adverse impacts on residential areas.
143 Centres should be so located as to make effective use of existing investment in public
infrastructure utilities, transport and other facilities, and any costs involved should be offset by
benefits to the population being served.
144 Centres should be located consistent with policies pertaining to adjoining Council areas.
145 The development of centres should not result in the physical deterioration of any designated
centre.
146 Shopping development which is more appropriately located outside of business, centre, or
shopping zone, or areas, should:
(a) be of a size and type which would not hinder the development or function of any
business, centre, or shopping zone, or area, in accordance with the objectives and
principles of development control for centres and shops, and the objectives and
principles of development control for the appropriate zones, or areas;
(b) conform to the criteria above, and the design, access, and car parking requirements for
business, centre, and shopping zones, or areas, set-out in principles of development
control above;
(c) result in a maintenance of retail employment in the locality; and
(d) not demonstrably lead to the physical deterioration of any designated centre.
Outdoor Dining
147 Outdoor dining should:
(a) provide sufficient set-backs, such as from kerbs and property boundaries, and
clearances, such as from buildings;
(b) be located in an area safe for patrons where the security of the building is not
compromised;
(c) ensure the dining area is set back from the building line at street intersections;
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
49
Victor Harbor (City)
(d) ensure that it does not hinder free and uninterrupted pedestrian access along
pedestrian pathways; and
(e) ensure wheelchair access to pedestrian ramps is not compromised.
148 Fixed glass screens, plastic blinds or freestanding removable canvas screens should not create
an enclosure or clutter the footpath, nor detract from the desired character of the locality. Glass
screens should be clearly marked to ensure adequate visibility for pedestrian safety.
149 Structures should:
(a) be of high quality design and form an integral part of the streetscape and be in a very
good condition;
(b) not restrict public access; and
(c) not detract or restrict views or significant sightlines, buildings and landmarks.
150 Signage involving any item or structure for outdoor dining, that identifies the business name or
logo, or advertises goods sold on the premises, is only appropriate on glass, canvas screens and
umbrellas and should meet the following:
(a) signage and advertisements should be designed to improve and complement the
amenity of the premises, be of an appropriate design and be consistent with the desired
character of the locality;
(b) advertisements on umbrellas, canvas and glass screens should not exceed a portion
that covers 10 percent of the total available space on each item, up to half of which may
be commercial advertisements in the form of product logos used or sold by the
premises;
(c) advertisements should not be illuminated or animated; and
(d) third party advertising (i.e. advertising involving goods not sold by the premises) on
outdoor dining items should not occur.
Coastal Areas
OBJECTIVES
Objective 27: Manage development in coastal areas to sustain or enhance the natural coastal
environment.
The coastal areas of the State are important for their onshore and marine environmental and
landscape values, as well as for developed uses such as towns (including holiday settlements),
tourism, marinas, commercial farming, aquaculture and recreation. Development a considerable
distance from the coast (mainland or island) can affect all these areas if it influences the environment,
general character and amenity of the coastal area or interferes with coastal processes such as
erosion, tide and storm flooding or sand drift.
Much of the coast is subjected to the forces of waves, tides and sea-currents, particularly during
storms. 'Soft' coasts develop a balance between the sea and the land which changes with the
seasons, a so called dynamic equilibrium. For example, beach and sand dunes built-up during months
of relative calm will be eroded during stormy seasons, only to be built-up again after the storms have
passed. As well, wave action and currents are continually moving sand along the shore, often
resulting in a net drift of material in one direction. Development can either directly or indirectly,
interfere with these processes for example by changing surface and groundwater flows, and result in
permanent loss of beach and dunes.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
50
Victor Harbor (City)
Not only may the shore environment be degraded and the amenity and recreation use of the beach be
lost, but the development which caused the problem may become at risk. Even though there are
policies to avoid public funding for protection of private development, public costs are often incurred
on emergency works and protection of affected public land. The protection measures themselves (sea
walls) often cause further loss of the beach and detract from public enjoyment of the coast.
In other areas coastal processes may be naturally eroding soft cliffs. Development located too close to
such cliffs is not only at risk but could aggravate the erosion through increased stormwater run-off if it
is of poor design.
Objective 28: Protect the coast from development that will adversely affect the marine and
onshore coastal environment whether by pollution, erosion, damage or depletion
of physical or biological resources, interference with natural coastal processes or
any other means.
Objective 29: Development which does not interfere with environmentally important features of
coastal areas, including mangroves, wetlands, dune areas, stands of native
vegetation, wildlife habitats and estuarine areas.
Objective 30: Preserve and manage the environmentally important features of coastal areas,
including mangroves, wetlands, dune areas, stands of native vegetation, wildlife
habitats and estuarine areas.
The interface between sea and land is a very active area for the movement of water and sand or other
matter. It is usually very rich in plants and animals, both marine and terrestrial and is an important
breeding ground for many species. Such a biologically diverse environment is important in sustaining
the biological resource base, particularly of the sea. Areas of conservation significance should be
protected from development and zoned accordingly. If necessary the conservation effectiveness of
coastal areas can be enhanced by linking them to other natural environments with linear parks.
The area and shape of allotments can be important for facilitating the management of environmentally
sensitive areas and minimising the impact of development on them. Linear features such as dunes
and lagoons are best managed when they have a single owner. Conservation reserves are best
protected when abutting land is not closely divided.
The coast is continually at risk of being badly polluted as it is at the receiving end of land drainage
systems. Experience has shown that this poses a significant risk to marine life and sea-food
resources. Land based animals and people who eat contaminated seafood also suffer. Wetlands,
which are often found behind sand dunes, and tidal flats provide a rich wildlife habitat, and are known
to be a valuable natural treatment area for organic matter carried by rivers.
Objective 31: Development which does not detract from or reduce the value of sites of
ecological, economic, heritage, cultural, scientific, environmental or educational
importance.
Objective 32: Preserve areas of high landscape and amenity value including stands of
vegetation, exposed cliffs, headlands, islands and hill tops, and areas which form
an attractive background to urban and tourist developments.
Coastal areas often include sites of aboriginal heritage and were usually those first settled by the
nineteenth century immigrants. Sea cliffs can provide valuable geological exposures and beaches are
often a source of rich and varied biological material which is important for scientific research and
education.
The landscape value of the coast is important to both beach-users and people on the sea. Even
somewhat distant backdrops to the coast can affect the amenity. Policies for land clearly visible from
the beach or near shore waters should reflect this.
Objective 33: Development which maintains or enhances public access to coastal areas in
keeping with objectives for protection of the environment, heritage and amenity by
provision of:
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
51
Victor Harbor (City)
(a) planned, appropriate easy to use public access to and along beaches;
(b) coastal reserves and lookouts;
(c) convenient and safe public boating facilities at selected locations;
(d) convenient vehicular access to points near beaches and selected points of interest; and
(e) adequate car parking.
Since the first surveys the South Australian coast has been seen as a public resource for the
enjoyment of all. It is important that public access to the coast, particularly to beaches, is maintained
and improved in a way that is consistent with the other objectives. It is essential that development
does not preclude or restrict public access along the coast and that conservation and public reserves
are not damaged or alienated by the location or design of abutting development.
Where necessary, areas important to public recreation in coastal areas should be zoned accordingly.
Unless capable of a dual purpose, conservation reserves should not be used for public access
purposes, nor should they be regarded as expendable erosion protection areas.
Spur roads to the coast and lookouts are favoured over esplanades as they usually have less impact
on coastal environment. In environmentally suitable parts of coastal areas away from the coast, it may
be possible to use loop roads to allow visitors to arrive and depart by different routes.
Objective 34: Development only undertaken on land which is not subject to, or can be
appropriately protected from, coastal hazards such as:
(a) inundation by storm tides or combined storm tides and stormwater;
(b) coastal erosion; or
(c) sand drift.
Objective 35: Development located and designed to allow for changes in sea level due to
natural subsidence and probable climate change during the first 100 years of the
development. This change to be based on the historic and currently observed rate
of sea level rise for South Australia with an allowance for the nationally agreed
most-likely predicted additional rise due to global climate change.
The most common situation in coastal areas is subsidence. Rates of subsidence are significant in
some places, especially in low-lying areas where soft sediments may still be compacting. This should
be taken into account when estimating the probable changes in relative sea level in a locality over the
life of a development. Possible effects of climate change should also be considered. The allowance
that should be made for climate change is discussed below.
If the coast is retreating, the foreshore, dunes, and wetlands contained in any coastal reserve could
retreat also, unless they are prevented by natural or man-made features. Hence any erosion buffer
should be additional to the coastal reserve.
Unstable sand dunes, land in the path of mobile dunes or close to soft erodible cliffs are also likely to
be unsuitable for development.
Objective 36: Development which will not require, now or in the future, public expenditure on
protection of the development or the environment.
Objective 37: Developers bearing the costs of protecting private development from the effects
of coastal processes or the environment from the effects of development rather
than the community.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
52
Victor Harbor (City)
Low-lying land which is now or in the future, subject to inundation by storm tides or stormwater should
not be zoned or developed for urban/tourist development unless environmentally sound mitigation and
protection works are formally and securely guaranteed by the Council or the proponents of
development.
Erosion mitigation works should only be considered in those instances where:
(a) a buffer cannot be provided;
(b) the works will not have an adverse effect on adjacent coastal areas and processes; and
(c) the works are guaranteed by the Council or the proponent.
The storm tide, stormwater and erosion protection requirements need to be based on an anticipated
sea level rise due to global warming of 0.3 metres between 1991 and 2050. Development should also
be capable of being protected against a further sea level rise, and associated erosion, of 0.7 metres
between 2050 and 2100. This rise is based on the historic and currently observed rate of sea level rise
for South Australia with an allowance for the nationally agreed most-likely predicted additional rise due
to global climate change.
Applications for the development of land which is at risk from storm surge and stormwater flooding or
erosion should contain:
(a) sufficient technical information to demonstrate that the proposed development will be
protected from flooding or erosion;
(b) the design of any coastal protection measures which are to be included and an assessment
of the effect of such measures on the beach and adjacent coast; and
(c) evidence, where appropriate, of financial guarantees or other arrangements to ensure that
all future costs (including storm damage, future protection, environmental restoration and
site restoration in the event of non-completion) will either be met by the developer or future
owners, or have been accepted as a future commitment by a local Council or other
appropriate agency.
Objective 38: The protection of the physical and economic resources of the coast from
inappropriate development.
The need for, and opportunities for, location-specific developments such as harbours, jetties and
marinas, mining, the harvesting of salt and fish or shell-fish farming (aquaculture) which all have
particular physical and/or biological requirements, should be assessed before introducing policies or
zonings which would prevent or inhibit such development. There also may be unique features of
particular attraction for tourists which require special consideration.
Objective 39: Development of coastal urban settlements, coastal rural living areas, tourist
complexes and marinas only in environmentally acceptable areas.
Objective 40: Urban development including housing, holiday houses, tourist accommodation,
and rural living, as well as land division for all such purposes, only in the zones
specifically created for such developments.
Objective 41: Development of coastal urban settlements, coastal rural living, tourist
accommodation and marinas in an orderly and economic manner which provides
for a range of sites while ensuring the number of locations and the size of the
zones do not exceed that which is indicated as being required by a realistic
assessment of future demand.
It is important that the coastal policies for each Council area clearly identify those areas where urban,
rural living, tourist and marina developments could be located and that all dwellings, accommodation
and land division for these purposes should be located within those identified areas.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
53
Victor Harbor (City)
The location and size of zones set aside for such development should be based upon the
achievement of the environmental, conservation, amenity and hazard-risk objectives for coastal areas.
This means that generally the number of such zones should be limited, the shape of zones
equidimensional, not linear, and the policies should ensure compact, orderly development.
Many areas of the South Australian coast are remote from existing community services and
infrastructure. A frequent problem is the provision of adequate water supplies for permanent
settlements.
Provision of an excessive number of zones or excessive area of zones would be likely to result in
scattered development. To service them with public utilities and community facilities would be costly.
It would also detract from the achievement of the other objectives for the coast. While adequate and
appropriate land is zoned for development, remaining land, even if considered environmentally
suitable for development should be retained in its natural state or in commercial farming use (not rural
living) until existing development zones are almost fully developed.
Objective 42: To redesign and redevelop coastal living areas which do not satisfy
environmental, health or public access standards for coastal areas.
There are numerous urban coastal settlements which have been developed without due regard given
to flooding, erosion, public access or environmental requirements. Such areas should only be
developed further if they are within a zone of predominantly urban character and satisfy the coastal
development policies. Development in unsuitable locations, including holiday houses on public
foreshores, may need to be moved to alternative sites in due course.
Objective 43: Development of the marine environment and in particular the marine aquaculture
industry:
(a) in an ecologically sustainable way;
(b) in a manner which recognises other users of marine and coastal areas and ensures a
fair and equitable sharing of marine and coastal resources;
(c) to conserve environmental quality, in particular water quality, and other aspects of the
coastal environment including sea floor health, visual qualities, wilderness, ecosystems,
and biodiversity;
(d) to minimise conflict between water and land based uses including:
(i)
aquaculture;
(ii)
wildfisheries;
(iii) recreational fishing;
(iv) passive and active recreation activities (eg boating, skiing, sailing, swimming,
diving, sightseeing, enjoyment of coastal wilderness);
(v) farming;
(vi) residential, other urban development, and holiday areas;
(vii) tourism;
(viii) industrial development;
(ix) defined national and conservation parks, and wilderness areas;
(x) mining and areas with significant mineral deposits;

(e) to maintain adequate safety standards, including navigational safety;
(f)
to minimise the risk of pollution from external sources and activities;
(g) so that onshore support facilities and activities are appropriately designed and located;
(h) to maintain public access to the foreshore and coastal waters;
(i)
to minimise adverse impact on the visual amenity of the coastal environment, and
unspoilt views adjacent to the coast;
(j)
to minimise any adverse impacts on sites of ecological, economic, cultural, heritage,
scientific or landscape significance such as:
(i)

(iii) recreation reserves;
(iv) marine parks and reserves;
(v) sites of scientific importance;
(vi) mineral reserves;
(vii) areas of high public use;
(viii) areas valued for their beauty or amenity;
(ix) breeding grounds for both marine and terrestrial species;
(k) in a manner which recognises the social and economic benefits to the community.

PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Environmental Protection
151 Development, including flood, erosion and wave protection measures, should not adversely affect
the ecology of coastal areas, the seabed or coastal waters by pollution, significant loss of habitat,
interference with coastal processes or any other means.
152 Development should not be located in delicate or environmentally sensitive coastal features such
as sand dunes, wetlands or important remnants of native vegetation.
153 Development should not, nor be likely in the future to, adversely affect the ecology and stability of
environmentally sensitive coastal features.
154 Development should not be undertaken where it will create or aggravate coastal erosion, or
where it will require coast protection works which cause or aggravate coastal erosion.
155 Land should only be divided in such a way that:
(a) it or the subsequent development and use of the land will not adversely affect the
management of the land, adjoining land or the coast;
(b) sand dunes, wetlands and remnant vegetation are maintained in single parcels;
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
55
Victor Harbor (City)
(c) the number of allotments abutting directly onto the coast or onto a reserve for
conservation purposes is minimised; and
(d) outside of urban, tourist-accommodation and rural living zones it will not result in
allotments with frontages to the coast or coastal reserve shorter than the depth of the
allotment (or less than the square root of the area for irregular shaped allotments).
156 Development should be designed for solid or fluid wastes and stormwater run-off to be disposed
of so that it will not cause pollution or other detrimental impacts on the marine and on-shore
environment of coastal areas.
157 Effluent disposal systems incorporating soakage trenches or a similar system should be located
not less than 100 metres or greater where it is necessary to avoid effluent migration onto the
inter-tidal zone, the 100 metres to be measured from:
(a) the mean high water mark at spring tide adjusted for any subsidence for the first
50 years of development plus a sea level rise of one metre; or
(b) the nearest boundary of any erosion buffer determined in accordance with principle of
development control numbered 183,
whichever is the greater. Except where SA Health Commission standards can be met by a lesser
setback.
158 Development should preserve natural drainage systems and should not significantly increase or
decrease the volume of water flowing to the sea. Where necessary it should incorporate
stormwater management schemes including:
(a) on-site harvesting of water and land based disposal systems;
(b) retention basins to facilitate settlement of pollutants and to regulate water flow; and
(c) infiltration.
159 Development should not cause deleterious effects on the quality or hydrology of groundwater.
160 Development proposed to include or create confined, coastal waters (whether partially or wholly),
including water subject to the ebb and flow of the tide, should ensure the quality of such waters is
maintained at an acceptable level.
161 Development should not preclude the natural geomorphological and ecological adjustment to
changing climate, sea level or other conditions. For example landward migration of coastal
wetlands should not be prevented by embankments. Development should be designed to allow
for new areas to be colonised by mangroves and wetland species and for removal of existing
embankments where practical.
162 Marine aquaculture should be located, sited, designed, constructed and managed to be
ecologically sustainable, to minimise interference and obstruction to the natural processes of the
marine environment, and to allow maintenance of the environmental quality of the foreshore,
coastline, ocean and ocean bed. Marine aquaculture should be developed and undertaken:
(a) in areas which will not contaminate the product for human consumption;
(b) at a suitable distance from pollution sources including country townships, urban and
residential areas, established shack areas, industrial development, stormwater or other
drainage outlets, sewage treatment facilities and outfall;
(c) at a sufficient height above the sea floor and in a manner to minimise seabed damage,
and in areas with adequate water current to disperse sediments to prevent the build up
of waste (except where waste can be removed);
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
56
Victor Harbor (City)
(d) to avoid damage to sensitive ecological areas, creeks, estuaries, wetlands and
significant seagrass and mangrove communities;
(e) to avoid the risk of pollution to and from external sources including any accidental
discharge of pollutants;
(f)
to ensure satisfactory removal and disposal of litter, disused material, shells, debris,
detritus, faecal matter, and dead animals from the farm to prevent fouling of waters,
publicly owned wetlands, or the nearby coastline;
(g) so as not to involve the discharge of human waste on the site, or any adjacent land, or
into nearby waters (if required, sanitary facilities should be provided);
(h) to avoid adverse impacts to wildlife (marine and terrestrial, plants and animals),
including breeding grounds and habitats of native marine mammals and terrestrial
fauna, especially migratory species;
(i)
to minimise harm or destruction of marine predators such as seals, dolphins and birds;
(j)
to facilitate relocation or removal of structures in the case of emergency such as oil
spills, algal blooms and altered waterflows;
(k) at a suitable distance from any tidal creek to ensure that adverse impacts are
minimised;
(l)
of a sufficient standard of construction to ensure that structures can withstand normal
marine conditions.
Preservation of Scenic, Heritage and Other Values
163 Development should not result in the disturbance or the devaluation of sites of heritage, cultural,
scientific or educational significance.
164 Development which is proposed to be located outside of urban and tourist zones should be sited
and designed to not adversely affect:
(a) the natural, rural or heritage character of the area;
(b) areas of high visual or scenic value;
(c) views from the coast, near-shore waters, public reserves, tourist routes and walking
trails; or
(d) the amenity of public beaches by intruding into undeveloped areas.
165 Development within urban and tourist accommodation zones should be designed and sited in
sympathy with the existing natural and built character of its locality. It should not be out of scale,
of conflicting colour or materials or detract from any natural backdrop to the zone, nor project
above the skyline visible from the coast.
166 Marine aquaculture and other offshore development should:
(a) minimise adverse impacts on the visual amenity or natural character of the coast and
foreshore, particularly in areas of outstanding beauty or areas of high public use;
(b) avoid adverse impacts on:
(i)
national parks, conservation parks and conservation reserves;
(ii)
marine parks and reserves;
(iii) recreation reserves;
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
57
Victor Harbor (City)
(iv) indigenous, non-indigenous and natural heritage sites including shipwrecks;*
(v) sites of scientific importance including geological monuments and habitats of rare
species;
(vi) mineral reserves;
(vii) areas valued for their outstanding beauty or amenity.
*Note: Heritage sites are recorded under the Register of the Aboriginal Heritage Act, 1988, the Register of the
Heritage Act, 1993, the Register of the Historic Shipwrecks Act, 1976 (Commonwealth of Australia), and the
Register of the Historic Shipwrecks Act, 1981 (South Australia).
167 Marine aquaculture and other offshore development should be located at least:
(a) 550 metres from a proclaimed shipwreck; and
(b) 1000 metres seaward from the boundary of any reserve under the National Parks and
Wildlife Act, unless a lesser distance is agreed with the Minister responsible for that
Act.
168 Racks, floats and other farm structures associated with marine aquaculture or other offshore
development should be as visually unobtrusive as possible, apart from those required by the
relevant authority for navigational safety. Development should:
(a) blend visually with the environment and have a low profile;
(b) be constructed of non-reflective materials;
(c) use uniform, subdued colours throughout a development, suited and in keeping with the
local surrounding features;
(d) use feed hoppers which are painted in subdued colours, and suspended as low as
possible above the water;
(e) design and locate structures in relation to surrounding features;
(f)
position structures to protrude the minimum distance practicable above water; and
(g) not jeopardise the attainment of visual amenity provisions by incorporating unnecessary
shelters and structures above cages and platforms.
Maintenance of Public Access
169 Development adjacent to the coast should not be undertaken unless it has or incorporates the
provision of a public reserve, not including a road or erosion buffer provided in accordance with
principle of development control numbered 182, of at least 50 metres width between such
development and the toe of the primary dune or the top edge of the escarpment, unless the
development relates to small-scale infill development in a predominantly urban zone.
170 Development which abuts or includes a coastal reserve for scenic, conservation or recreational
purposes should be located and designed in such a way as to have regard to the purpose,
management and amenity of the reserve and to prevent illegal incorporation of reserve land into
private land.
171 Development, including marinas, marine aquaculture and supporting facilities/infrastructure
should be located and designed to allow public access along the waterfront, to beaches, and to
coastal reserves, except where public safety reasons preclude.
172 Access to beaches and reserves should be, by means of walkways and roads suitably designed
and constructed to meet the environmental objectives and principles of development control for
coastal areas.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
58
Victor Harbor (City)
173 Access roads to the coast and lookouts should preferably be spur roads. Tourist routes may be
loop roads but should be located back from the coast and only where the road will not detract
from the amenity of the area or lead to management problems.
174 Marine aquaculture and other offshore development should:
(a) be designed and located in order to not preclude public access to beaches, public
watercourse or the foreshore;
(b) be located to take into account the requirements of traditional fishing grounds;
(c) in ocean waters be located a minimum of 100 metres seaward of high water mark;
(d) be located not to obstruct nor interfere with navigation channels, access channels,
frequently used natural launching sites, safe anchorage areas, known diving areas,
commercial shipping movement patterns or activities associated with existing jetties
and wharves;
(e) be developed to maintain existing rights of way within or adjacent to a site; and
(f)
where possible use existing and established roads, tracks, ramps and paths to or from
the sea.
175 Marine aquaculture access, launching and maintenance facilities wherever possible should be
developed cooperatively, and co-located to serve the needs of the industry and community as a
whole, and where necessary may be located on the foreshore.
Hazard Risk Minimisation
176 Development should not occur on land where the risk of flooding is unacceptable having regard
to personal and public safety and to property damage.
177 For the purposes of assessing coastal developments the standard sea-flood risk level for a
development site is defined as the 100-year average return interval extreme sea level (tide,
stormwater and associated wave effects combined), plus an allowance for land subsidence for
50 years at that site.
178 Land should not be divided for commercial, industrial or residential purposes unless a layout can
be achieved whereby roads, parking areas and adequate development sites on each allotment
are at least 0.3 metres above the standard sea-flood risk level, unless the land is or can be
protected in accordance with principle of development control numbered 181.
179 Commercial, industrial or residential development should only be undertaken where:
(a) building floor-levels are at least 0.25 metres above the minimum site level of principle of
development control numbered 178 (ie: 0.55 metres above the standard sea-flood risk
level), unless the development is or can be protected in accordance with principle of
development control numbered 181; and
(b) there are practical measures in accordance with principle of development control
numbered 181 available to the developer, or subsequent owners, to protect the
development against a further sea level rise of 0.7 metres above the minimum site level
determined by principle of development control numbered 178.
180 Buildings to be located over tidal water or which are not capable of being raised or protected by
flood protection measures in future, should have a floor level of at least 1.25 metres above the
standard sea-flood risk level.
181 Development which requires protection measures against coastal erosion, sea or stormwater
flooding, sand drift or the management of other coastal processes at the time of development, or
which may require protection or management measures in the future, should only be undertaken
if:
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
59
Victor Harbor (City)
(a) the measures themselves will not have an adverse effect on coastal ecology,
processes, conservation, public access and amenity;
(b) the measures do not now, or in the future require community resources, including land;
(c) the risk of failure of measures such as sand management, levee banks, flood gates,
valves or stormwater pumping, is appropriate to the degree of the potential impact of a
failure; and
(d) adequate financial guarantees are in place to cover future construction, operation,
maintenance and management of the protection measures.
182 Development should be set-back a sufficient distance from the coast to provide an erosion buffer
which will allow for at least 100 years of coastal retreat for single buildings or small-scale
developments, or 200 years of retreat for large-scale developments such as new towns, unless:
(a) the development incorporates private coastal works to protect the development and
public reserve from the anticipated erosion, and the private coastal works comply with
principle of development control numbered 181; or
(b) the Council is committed to protecting the public reserve and development from the
anticipated coastal erosion.
183 Where a coastal reserve exists, or is to be provided in accordance with principle of development
control numbered 169, it should be increased in width by the amount of buffer required.
184 The width of an erosion buffer should be based on:
(a) the susceptibility of the coast to erosion;
(b) local coastal processes;
(c) the effect of severe storm events;
(d) the effect of a 0.3 metres sea level over the next 50 years on coastal processes and
storms; and
(e) the availability of practical measures to protect the development from erosion caused
by a further sea level rise of 0.7 metres per 50 years thereafter.
185 Where there is inadequate area to provide the necessary erosion buffer to development on land
at risk from long-term coastal erosion (for example small-scale infill development including land
division), such development should not occur unless:
(a) the Council has committed itself to erosion protection measures which may be
necessary along this section of the coast; or
(b) a legally binding agreement is included on the freehold certificate(s) of title(s) that
protection measures will not be built and that any building will be transportable and will
be removed when threatened by erosion or storm surge flooding; or
(c) a legally binding agreement is included on the freehold certificate(s) of title(s) that
protection measures that comply with principle of development control numbered 181
for coastal development will be built by the land owner(s) when required.
186 Development should not occur where essential services cannot be economically provided and
maintained having regard to flood risk and sea level rise or where emergency vehicle access
would be prevented by a 100-year average return interval extreme sea level event, adjusted for
100 years of sea level rise.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

Victor Harbor (City)
187 Marine aquaculture development should minimise its impact on navigational safety and:
(a) be suitably marked for navigational purposes;
(b) be sited to allow an adequate distance between farms for safe navigation;
(c) be located at least 250 metres from a commercial shipping lane;
(d) comprise structures secured and/or weighted to prevent drifting;
(e) ensure that structures and materials used are maintained to prevent hazards to people
and wildlife; and
(f)
provide for rehabilitation of sites no longer operational.
Protection of Physical and Economic Resources
188 Development outside of urban zones should not take place if there is the potential for significant
conflict with likely development which benefits the wider community based on any of the special
economic or physical resources of coastal areas such as:
Tourist Attractions
Harbour and Jetty Sites
Aquaculture Sites
Marina Sites
Mineral Deposits of State or National Importance.
189 Development should be sited, designed and managed so as not to conflict with or jeopardise the
continuance of an existing aquaculture development.
190 Marine aquaculture development should:
(a) be carried out in a manner which ensures a fair and equitable sharing of marine and
coastal resources and minimises conflict between legitimate users of the marine
resource, both commercial and recreational; and
(b) not significantly obstruct or adversely affect:
(i)
areas of high public use;
(ii)
areas established for recreational activities;
(iii) areas of outstanding visual, environmental, commercial or tourism value;
(iv) sites used for recreational activities such as swimming, fishing, skiing and sailing
and other water sports, including beaches.
Settlement, Tourist Facilities, Marinas and Other Development in Appropriate Zones
191 Urban development including holiday house settlements and tourist developments, marinas, rural
living, country living and other development of a non-commercial farming nature, including land
division for all such development, should only be undertaken in zones designated for such
development.
192 Tourist development outside of zones designated for such development should be confined to
small-scale, short-stay accommodation within or adjacent to an existing inhabited farmhouse and
operated as a minor adjunct to normal commercial farming.
193 Outside of urban and tourist-accommodation zones no more than one dwelling should be
constructed on an allotment.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
61
Victor Harbor (City)
194 The coastline and its visual amenity should not be significantly impaired by the onshore
development of marine aquaculture storage, cooling and processing facilities. Where possible
these facilities should be:
(a) located, sited, designed, landscaped and developed at a scale and using external
materials to minimise any adverse visual impact on the coastal landscape;
(b) established in areas appropriately zoned and with appropriate vehicular access
arrangements; and
(c) developed to ensure that wastes are disposed of in a complete and effective system
which is legally approved.
No Premature Development
195 Development, including land division, urban, holiday settlement, tourist development and other
urban-type developments should be:
(a) compact not linear development;
(b) contiguous with any existing built-up areas;
(c) developed in a staged and orderly manner which facilitates the economic provision of
services and infrastructure; and
(d) in particular no such development should occur without provision of an adequate
reticulated domestic-quality mains water supply and a common effluent drainage
scheme.
Redevelopment of Unsatisfactory Areas
196 Existing development which is contrary to the objectives for coastal areas should not be
redeveloped unless the redevelopment significantly rectifies the unsatisfactory aspects.
Movement of People and Goods
OBJECTIVES
Objective 44: The safe and efficient movement of people and goods.
The primary and secondary road network for the Council area is shown on Fig OM/2. The primary
network includes the Adelaide/Victor Harbor Road.
Objective 45: The free flow of traffic on roads by minimising interference from adjoining
development.
Some kinds of development attract large numbers of vehicles which create traffic hazards and
congestion on streets in the vicinity unless special provision is made to accommodate them. Off-street
parking should be provided in association with development so that streets can provide for the safe
and efficient flow of traffic.
Objective 46: The location of roads on the Fleurieu Peninsula so that the natural and scenic
qualities of the area are maintained.
Particular care should be taken to ensure that the detailed design and improvement of roads do not
unduly disturb landforms, vegetation, wildlife, and other attributes, which make the area attractive for
recreation and tourism. Recreational drivers should be encouraged to remain on major and minor
tourist roads, rather than the tracks serving rural properties which traverse the more remote parts of
the area.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
62
Victor Harbor (City)
Objective 47: Development of scenic routes and promotion of their use by tourists.
A system of scenic routes should be established and signposted through the region. Such routes
should pass through attractive areas, and link vantage points and places of interest.
Objective 48: Provision of a safe and efficient network of roads, paths and tracks to
accommodate satisfactorily various types of traffic.
Objective 49: Provision of an effective public transport system to facilitate travel to, from and
within the district.
Objective 50: Provision of public parking areas to protect public roads from congestion.
Objective 51: Provision of vehicular-free areas, particularly in the business centre.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
197 Development should conform with the following principles relating to traffic, parking and vehicles
access, in addition to any relevant land use specific parking standards:
(a) development should provide safe and convenient access for private vehicles, cyclists,
pedestrians, service vehicles, emergency vehicles and public utility vehicles;
(b) access points onto public roads should be designed and located so as to minimise
traffic hazards, queuing on public roads, and intrusion into adjacent residential areas;
(c) the number, design and location of access points onto arterial roads should be such as
to minimise traffic hazards, queuing on the roads, right turn movements and
interference with the function of intersections, junctions and traffic control devices;
(d) where development is located adjacent to an intersection it should not create an
obstruction or impair the visibility for drivers of motor vehicles entering arterial roads;
(e) development should provide sufficient off-street parking to accommodate resident,
visitor, customer, employee, and service vehicles;
(f)
(i)
where a development is required to provide car parking of 25 spaces or more, at
least one car parking space should be provided in every 25 spaces for the
disabled; and
(ii)
parking spaces for the disabled should be conveniently located in relation to
building entrances, ramps, and other specialised access facilities required or
necessary for use by the disabled;
(g) the layout of all parking areas should be designed so as to obviate the necessity for
vehicles to reverse onto public roads;
(h) car parking areas should be sealed with material which will minimise any mud or dust
hazard and provide an even, low maintenance pavement;
(i)
car parking areas should be:
(i)
line marked to indicate parking bays, movement aisles and direction of traffic flow;
(ii)
graded and drained to efficiently remove surface water; and
(iii) landscaped to screen and shade vehicles in the parking area whilst retaining
suitable lines of sight for safe vehicle and pedestrian movements;
(j)
individual car parking areas should, wherever possible, be designed and located so
that:
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
63
Victor Harbor (City)
(i)
vehicular movement between them does not require the use of public roads; and
(ii)
the number of access points is minimised;
(k) development should provide an opportunity for shared use of car parking facilities, and
integration of car parking areas with adjacent development so as to reduce the total
extent of car parking areas and reduce the number of access points;
(l)
where traffic control measures, public works and other relevant facilities are required as
a direct result of a development being undertaken, the cost of such works or facilities
should be borne by the developer; and
(m) landscaping should be provided and maintained to screen, shade and enhance the
appearance of car parking areas. To this end parking spaces should not be located
closer than two metres from any adjacent street alignment to allow the provision of
adequate screen planting.
198 All development should be adequately serviced by providing:
(a) unobtrusive, screened areas for the storage and removal of waste materials; and
(b) adequate on-site area which enables the manoeuvring, loading, unloading, fuelling and
storage of vehicles associated with the use of the site, and which facilitates the entry
and exit of vehicles in a forward direction.
199 Adequate car parking should be provided on-site to accommodate the demand generated by the
proposed development. Minimum standards for various land use activities are detailed in
Table ViH/7 and elsewhere in the Development Plan.
200 Development within the Regional Town Centre Zone, where off-street car parking cannot be
provided at the rate stipulated in Table ViH/7, should not be undertaken unless:
(a) the car parking shortfall is provided on a suitable alternative site. Such a site will need
to be on adjacent land to the primary site, be easily accessible and available for vehicle
parking at the appropriate times. Shared or reciprocal parking agreements should be
secured with registered and binding agreements by way of rights of way and/or
easements registered on the respective certificates of title for the land parcels; or
(b) where deemed appropriate by Council, a financial contribution at the specified rate per
car park is paid to the Council Car Park Fund for any under-provision of on-site car
parking, measured against the rate of parking stipulated in Table ViH/7, with respect to
development within a designated area which is split into three rate levels and Policy
Areas as defined in Fig ViH/1 and Fig ViH/2. The specified rate per car park (financial
contribution) is that appearing in the Gazette and is subject to discount in accordance
with Council Wide Principle of Development Control 183.
201 Development within the Local Centre Zone shown on Maps ViH/18 and 24, and Neighbourhood
Centre Zone shown on Map ViH/13, where off-street car parking cannot be provided at the rate
stipulated in Table ViH/7, should not be undertaken unless:
(a) the car parking shortfall is provided on a suitable alternative site. Such a site will need
to be on adjacent land to the primary site, be easily accessible and available for vehicle
parking at the appropriate times
(b) where deemed appropriate by Council, a financial contribution may be made at the
specified rate per car park to the Council Car Park Fund for any under-provision of onsite car parking, measured against the rate of parking stipulated in Table ViH/7.
Note: Shared or reciprocal parking agreements should be secured with registered and binding agreements by way of
rights of way and/or easements registered on the respective certificates of title for the land parcels. The Car Park Fund is
split into three rate levels of which the lowest rate is applied to these zones. The specified rate per car park (financial
contribution) is that appearing in the Gazette.

202 Development involving the use of heritage buildings identified as heritage places in Table ViH/3
and developments providing pedestrian through-site links identified by the Regional Town Centre
Structure Plan, Map ViH/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement B, may be subject to a reduction in the rate of
on site car parking, where deemed appropriate by Council, in accordance with Council’s Car
Parking Fund.
203 Car parking areas should be surfaced, linemarked and landscaped and include lighting to
improve safety and security.
204 An adequate supply of on-site secure bicycle parking should be provided to meet the demand
generated by the development in accordance with the requirements set out in Table ViH/7.
205 Undercroft parking should project no higher than 1 metre above ground level and should be
screened from public view and designed to add interest and creativity to the street frontage.
206 Development should be consistent with Australian Standard AS2890 Parking Facilities.
207 Cycling facilities and networks should be designed and provided in accordance with the relevant
provisions of the Australian Standards and Australian Guide to Traffic Engineering Practice
Part 14.
Mining
OBJECTIVES
Objective 52: The siting and management of quarrying and similar extractive and associated
manufacturing industries so that minimum damage is caused to the landscape.
The permanent effect of mining operations on the appearance of the landscape and water front areas
should be considered before operations begin, and the suitability of alternative sites investigated. After
workings are finished undesirable structures should be removed, quarry faces beautified by
landscaping, or the natural cover of the land restored. In some cases the redevelopment of some
areas to other uses should be considered.
Mineral deposits in some instances, underlie other basic resources such as remnant bushland and
scenic areas. Development of mineral deposits in these areas should only proceed following full
evaluation of the benefits to the community in retaining bushland or scenery as opposed to the
development of the deposits, and the relative abundance of alternative mineral deposits. In particular,
mining activities in areas suitable for conservation or recreation parks should take place only in the
State or national interest under stringent conditions following precise delineation of the sites.
Objective 53: The continued availability of metallic, industrial, and construction, minerals by
preventing development likely to inhibit their exploitation.
Mineral resources in the region should be delineated so that adequate supplies of minerals can be
secured in areas where there is no major environmental conflict. The most suitable sites, consistent
with environmental constraints and expected future demand, should be kept free of development likely
to inhibit the exploitation of the resource.
Sufficient land should be available to provide resources for continued production and for the
establishment of buffer areas between the mineral deposit and adjoining development.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
208 Mining operations, including the extraction of construction materials and other minerals from
mines, quarries and shallow pits, and the dressing and treatment of those minerals, should
ensure that the environmental impact of the operations will be minimised and the site reclaimed
to an appropriate landform and after-use when operations are complete.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
65
Victor Harbor (City)
209 The overall benefit to the community from the minerals produced and the planned after use of the
site should outweigh the loss of amenity and other resources resulting from the mining operation.
210 Before a mining operation is undertaken, it should be established that the site contains minerals
of the necessary quality and that for reasons of location, quality or other factors no practical
alternative source is available.
211 A mining operation should maximise the utilisation of the resource but minimise the adverse
impacts of extraction.
212 A sufficient area of land, vegetation or mounding should be established between any site of
mining operations and areas for other uses so as to protect those uses from any adverse effects
of the mining operations.
213 Mining operations should be conducted in accordance with a development and reclamation
program approved by the appropriate authority and which:
(a) ensure that danger or unreasonable damage or nuisance does not arise from the
workings or any operations conducted therein;
(b) provides for progressive reclamation of disturbed areas;
(c) provides for the removal of buildings, plant, equipment, rubbish and litter when
operations are completed; and
(d) renders the site safe for future occupiers or users.
214 An after-use appropriate to the site and the location should be established prior to the
commencement of a mining operation, and implemented on completion of the operations.
Crime Prevention
OBJECTIVES
Objective 54: A safe and secure, crime resistant environment.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
215 Development should be designed to maximise surveillance of public spaces through the
incorporation of clear lines of sight, appropriate lighting and the use of visible permeable barriers
wherever practicable.
216 Buildings should be designed to overlook public and communal streets and public open space to
allow casual surveillance.
217 Development should provide a robust environment that is resistant to vandalism and graffiti.
218 Development should provide lighting in frequently used public spaces including:
(a) along dedicated cyclist and pedestrian pathways, laneways and access routes; and
(b) around public facilities such as toilets, telephones, bus stops, seating, litter bins,
automatic teller machines, taxi ranks and car parks.
219 Development, including car park facilities should incorporate signage and lighting that indicate
the entrances and pathways to, from and within sites.
220 Landscaping should be used to assist in discouraging crime by:
(a) screen planting areas susceptible to vandalism;
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
66
Victor Harbor (City)
(b) planting trees or ground covers, rather than shrubs, alongside footpaths; and
(c) planting vegetation other than ground covers a minimum distance of two metres from
footpaths to reduce concealment opportunities.
221 Site planning, buildings, fences, landscaping and other features should clearly differentiate
public, communal and private areas.
222 Buildings should be designed to minimise and discourage access between roofs, balconies and
windows of adjoining dwellings.
223 Public toilets should be designed and located:
(a) to promote the visibility of people entering and exiting the facility (eg by avoiding
recessed entrances and dense shrubbery that obstructs passive surveillance); and
(b) near public transport links and pedestrian and cyclist networks to maximise visibility.
224 Development should avoid pedestrian entrapment spots and movement predictors, e.g. routes or
paths that are predictable or unchangeable and offer no choice to pedestrians.
Waste Management
OBJECTIVES
Objective 55: The orderly and economic development of waste management facilities in
appropriate locations.
Objective 56: Minimisation of environmental impacts from the location and operation of waste
management facilities.
Objective 57: Waste management facilities to be protected from incompatible development.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
225 Waste management facilities should be located, sited, designed and managed to minimise
adverse impacts on both the site and surrounding areas due to generation of surface water and
groundwater pollution, traffic, noise, odours, dust, vermin, weeds, litter, gas and visual impact.
226 Landfill operations should not be located in existing or future urban, township, living, residential,
commercial, centre, office, business or institutional zones or environmental protection,
conservation, landscape, open space or similar zones.
227 Waste management facilities should be provided with appropriate separation distances to
minimise adverse impacts on the surrounding area and land uses.
228 Land uses and activities which are compatible with waste management facilities may be located
within any separation distances established.
229 Land uses and activities which are not compatible with a waste management facility should not
be located within any separation distances established.
230 Organic waste processing facilities for the composting of waste should be located at least a
distance of 500 metres from the nearest dwelling, shop, office, public institution or other building
designed primarily for human occupation. A lesser distance may be provided where the
processing operations and technologies are considered compatible with the surrounding area,
land uses and activities. Alternatively, a greater distance may be required where the processing
operations are considered incompatible with the surrounding area, land uses and activities.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

231 Landfill and associated facilities for the handling of waste should be located at least a distance of
500 metres from the boundaries of the landfill site. A lesser distance may be provided within the
landfill site where the landfill facility is considered compatible with the surrounding area, land
uses and activities so that an effective minimum separation distance of 500 metres can be
provided and maintained between the landfill facility and potentially incompatible land uses and

marine estuarine area and not within the area of a 1 in 100 year flood event;
(b) not be located on areas with ground slopes of greater than 10 percent except where the
site incorporates a disused quarry;
(c) not be located on land subject to land slipping; and
(d) not be located within 3.0 kilometres of an airport used by commercial aircraft. If located
closer than 3.0 kilometres the landfill operations should incorporate bird control
measures to minimise the risk of bird strikes to aircraft.
233 The area of the organic waste processing facilities on a site should:
(a) be located a minimum distance of 100 metres from any dam, river, creek, natural
watercourse, channel or bore, and not within the area of a 1 in 100 year flood event;
(b) not be located on areas with ground slopes of greater than 6 percent;
(c) not be located on land subject to land slipping;
(d) not be located within 3.0 kilometres of an airport used by commercial aircraft. If located
closer than 3.0 kilometres the organic waste processing operations should incorporate
bird control measures to minimise the risk of bird strikes to aircraft; and
(e) not be located within 250 metres of a public open space reserve, a forestry reserve, a
National Park, a Conservation Zone or Policy Area.
234 The waste management site should be landscaped to screen views of the processing facilities
and operational areas.
235 Sufficient area should be provided within the waste management site to ensure on-site
containment of potential groundwater contaminants and for the diversion of stormwater.
236 Noise reduction treatments comprising separation distances and the incorporation of on-site
treatments should be provided to ensure noise generation associated with the waste
management operation does not result in an adverse impact to any existing or future
development on an adjacent allotment.
237 Litter control measures which minimise the incidence of windblown litter should be provided on
the site of a waste management operation.
238 Leachate from waste management activities should be contained within the property boundary of
the waste management site and should not contaminate surface water or groundwater.
239 A leachate barrier should be provided between the operational areas and the underlying soil and
groundwater of organic waste processing operations.
240 The interface between any engineered landfill liner and the natural soil should be:
(a) greater than 15 metres from unconfined aquifers bearing groundwater with a water

241 Surface water run-off from the waste management operations should not cause unacceptable
sediment loads in receiving waters.
242 Landfill activities that have a total storage capacity exceeding 230 000 cubic metres should
sustainably utilise landfill gas emissions. For smaller landfill activities, if the sustainable utilisation
of the gas emissions is not practically feasible, then controlled flaring is appropriate to avoid
gases being vented directly to the air.
243 Fencing to a minimum height of two metres should be erected on the perimeter of a waste
management site to prevent access other than at appropriate entries. For landfill sites, the
fencing should be of chain wire mesh or pre-coated painted metal construction.
244 Plant, equipment or activities that could cause a potential hazard to the public within a waste
management site should be enclosed by a security fence.
245 Waste management sites should not be located where access to the site using non-arterial roads
in adjoining residential areas is required or likely.
246 Waste management sites should be accessed by an appropriately constructed and maintained
road.
247 Traffic circulation movements within the waste management site should be adequate in
dimension and construction to support all vehicles hauling waste and to enable forward direction
entry to and exit from the site.
248 Suitable access for emergency vehicles to and within the waste management site should be
provided.
249 A proposal to establish, extend or amend a waste management operation should include an
appropriate Environment Management Plan that addresses the following:
(a) the prevention of groundwater and surface water contamination;
(b) the need to protect and enhance native vegetation;
(b) litter control, dust control and sanitary conditions generally;
(c) odour and noise control;
(d) fire safety;
(e) security;
(f)
maintenance of landscaping and the general condition of the site; and
(g) final contour plan and rehabilitation proposals including soil cover, landscaping,
drainage, the removal of any contamination or waste, restoration and the like to ensure
compatibility with the surrounding landscape and to enable a suitable after use of the
site.

Conservation
OBJECTIVES
Objective 58: The conservation, preservation, or enhancement, of scenically attractive areas
including land adjoining water and scenic routes.
The region contains a series of diverse and attractive landscapes such as the South Mount Lofty
Ranges and the coast. Some of the most outstanding areas occur within the South Mount Lofty
Ranges, including the district between Cape Jervis and Waitpinga, on Fleurieu Peninsula which
contains rugged coastal scenery, bushland and contrasting pasture country.
Landholders should be encouraged to conserve the character of all attractive areas in the region.
Consideration should also be given to any disturbance which the siting of sporting activities may
cause adjoining properties, particularly from noise, traffic generation, or the effect on the natural
beauty of the locality. Wider-ranging activities such as dune buggy and trail bike riding can have
serious consequences with regard to vegetation damage and soil erosion.
Objective 59: The preservation of trees of historic, local, or particular, visual significance.
Objective 60: The preservation and replanting of roadside vegetation.
Objective 61: Conservation and reinstatement of environmentally significant areas of native
vegetation.
Objective 62: The retention of native vegetation where clearance is likely to lead to problems of
soil erosion, soil slip and soil salinisation, flooding or a deterioration in the quality
of surface waters.
Objective 63: The retention of native vegetation for amenity purposes, for livestock shade and
shelter, and for the movement of native wildlife.
The retention of large bushland areas, roadside vegetation, and clumps of trees on hilltops, and
elsewhere, is important, not only to preserve scenic beauty, but also for wildlife habitats, ecological
study, recreation areas, and for the control of soil erosion and water quality.
Steps should be taken to preserve as much of the remaining vegetation as possible and to encourage
land owners to set aside, and fence, areas of native vegetation. Encouragement should be given to
the replanting of indigenous species as a means of restoring native vegetation to parts of the area. If it
is necessary to fell trees of visual significance, replanting should be undertaken wherever practicable.
Objective 64: Land division, including boundary rearrangement, which retains areas of native
vegetation on single or the least number of allotments.
Objective 65: The preservation of buildings or sites of architectural, historical or scientific
interest.
Objective 66: Conservation of land, buildings, structures and other items which have social,
architectural or Aboriginal or European heritage significance.
Objective 67: Protection of water resources.
Objective 68: Minimisation of pollution of air, land and water.
Objective 69: Preservation of the utility of mineral resources.
Objective 70: Protection of productive land from mismanagement and unwarranted conversion
from agricultural use.
Objective 71: Protection of biological systems to an extent which enables them naturally to
restore or maintain their equilibrium.

PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
250 The nature, features and general character of areas and items, other than building development
and vegetation, should be conserved which are of special:
(a) historical (including archaeological) significance;
(b) scientific interest;
(c) scenic value or natural beauty; or
(d) other heritage significance.
251 Individual buildings or groups of buildings should be conserved and, where possible, restored
which are of special:
(a) architectural merit, significance or interest;
(b) visual interest;
(c) historical significance or heritage value; or
(d) scientific interest.
252 Trees and other vegetation, including native flora and bushland remnants, should be conserved
which are of:
(a) special visual significance or interest;
(b) existing or possible future value in the screening of a building or unsightly views; or
(c) existing or possible future value in the provision of shade or as a windbreak.
253 Native vegetation should not be cleared if it:
(a) provides important habitat for wildlife;
(b) has a high plant species diversity or has rare or endangered plant species and plant
associations;
(c) has high amenity value;
(d) contributes to the landscape quality of an area;
(e) has high value as a remnant of vegetation associations characteristic of a district or
region prior to extensive clearance for agriculture;
(f)
is associated with sites of scientific, archaeological, historic, or cultural significance; or
(g) is growing in, or is characteristically associated with, a wetland environment.
254 Native vegetation should not be cleared if such clearance is likely to:
(a) create or contribute to soil erosion;
(b) decrease soil stability and initiate soil slip;
(c) create, or contribute to, a local or regional soil salinity problem;
(d) lead to the deterioration in the quality of surface waters; or so
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
71
Victor Harbor (City)
(e) create or exacerbate the incidence or intensity of local or regional flooding.
255 When clearance is proposed, consideration should be given to:
(a) retention of native vegetation for, or as:
(i)
corridors or wildlife refuges;
(ii)
amenity purposes;
(iii) livestock shade and shelter; or
(iv) protection from erosion along watercourses and the filtering of suspended solids
and nutrients from runoff;
(b) the effects of retention on farm management; and
(c) the implications of retention or clearance on fire control.
256 Development should take place in a manner which will:
(a) minimise interference with the equilibrium of biological systems on the land and in
surrounding localities; and
(b) enable biological systems naturally to restore or maintain their equilibrium.
257 Development should be undertaken with the minimum effect on natural features, land adjoining
water, scenic routes or scenically attractive areas.
258 Roadside vegetation should be preserved and replanted where practical.
259 Development involving the alteration of natural drainage systems should not be undertaken
unless there will be no adverse effects to existing vegetation within adjoining land or roads, and
no increase in the risk of flooding of existing development or erosion downstream.
260 The natural character of rivers and creeks should be preserved.
261 Important natural resources including watercourses and water catchment areas, scenic areas
and significant flora and fauna areas should be conserved and protected from development
which would affect them adversely.
262 Stormwater discharge points should be located and constructed so as to prevent soil erosion.
263 Development should incorporate on-site stormwater harvesting for reuse on the site where
possible.
264 Development should manage on-site stormwater to ensure that the design capacity of existing or
planned downstream systems are not exceeded, and other property or environments are not
adversely affected as a result of stormwater discharge from the site.
265 Development should ensure that appropriate measures are taken to minimise the risk of
interception with the watertable.
266 Where development intercepts the watertable its impact on both the quantity and quality of
groundwater should be minimised.
267 Stormwater systems should be designed with structures to minimise the entry of pollutants such
as sediment, pesticides and herbicides, bacteria, animal wastes and oil and grease into drainage
systems.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
72
Victor Harbor (City)
268 Stormwater systems should be located and designed to minimise the impact of stormwater
discharges on streams by mitigating peak flows and providing erosion protection at entry points.
269 Stormwater drainage systems should preserve rather than eliminate natural drainage systems.
270 Development should not detract from the natural and rural landscape character of the region.
271 Linkages between significant regional recreational and conservation features should be
established or enhanced.
272 Within the South Mount Lofty Ranges Region, buildings and other structures should not be
located within areas of native vegetation.
273 No change of land use should occur in or near areas of native vegetation which are likely to
adversely impact on the vegetation.
274 The provision of services, including power, water, effluent and waste disposal, access roads and
tracks should be effected over areas already cleared of native vegetation or, if this is not
possible, cause the minimum interference or disturbance to native vegetation.
275 Proposals to divide land or rearrange allotment boundaries should not increase the number of
allotments adjoining allotments on which there is native vegetation.
276 No development or change in land use should occur where its proximity to a swamp or wetland,
whether permanently or periodically inundated, has the potential to damage or interfere with the
hydrology or water regime of the swamp or wetland.
277 Development should take place in a manner which will not interfere with the utilisation,
conservation or quality of water resources and protects the natural systems that contribute to
natural improvements in water quality.
Heritage
For the purpose of interpreting principles of development control numbered 278 to 283 inclusive, a
Heritage Place is a State or Local Heritage Place identified in Table ViH/3.
278 Development should not impair the character or integrity of a Heritage Place.
279 The use(s) to which a Heritage Place is put should be a use(s) which support the continuing
conservation of the place through the maintenance and/or restoration of such places so as to
retain its cultural significance.
280 Development associated with a Heritage Place may contain minor variations to the respective
detailed design principles of development controls where this facilitates appropriate and
complementary conservation of the place providing that any variation:
(a) is justified by significantly unusual and difficult constraints created by the place's own
retention, conservation or unique circumstances;
(b) avoids compromise or an adverse impact upon the integrity and appropriate setting of
the Heritage Place and overall, is beneficial to the desired and general character and
amenity of the locality; and
(c) does not compromise fundamental conservation management objectives or, where
applicable, obligations under a Heritage Agreement (under the Heritage Act 1993)
prepared for individual State Heritage Places or security and safety issues where it
relates to public parks/gardens or similar open spaces or public infrastructure (eg
bridges, towers, monuments and similar structures) of identified heritage significance.
281 The division of an allotment(s) containing a Heritage Place involving the creation of additional
allotments and/or boundary realignments, should only occur where the division of land:
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
73
Victor Harbor (City)
(a) results in an allotment(s) of a size and dimensions which maintains or reinforces the
integrity of the building(s) or item(s) retained on the site(s);
(b) where an additional allotment(s) are created, results in an allotment pattern which will
satisfactorily accommodate new development of the kind desired in the zone and the
additional allotment(s) is of a size and dimensions which is capable of being developed
without detriment to the integrity and setting of the affected Heritage Place; and
(c) retains on the site of the Heritage Place any existing natural, substantial, original and
historic landscape elements which contribute to the heritage value and character of the
Heritage Place.
282 The division of land adjoining an allotment containing a Heritage Place should:
(a) result in an allotment pattern which maintains or reinforces the integrity of the adjoining
Heritage Place;
(b) create allotments of a size and dimensions that will accommodate the desired form of
development for the relevant zone or policy area;
(c) be of suitable proportions which will provide for the appropriate siting and setback of
new buildings from property boundaries so that new buildings do not dominate,
encroach upon or otherwise impact on the setting of the Heritage Place; and
(d) to the principal public road frontage provide an area set aside for landscaping of a size
and dimensions which complement the landscape setting of the Heritage Place and the
landscape character in the locality of the development.
283 Development on the site of or adjacent to a Heritage Place where there would be an influence
upon the character, integrity and setting of a Heritage Place, should afford recognition to and
respect the heritage value, integrity and character of the Place, without necessarily replicating its
historic detailing and should where applicable:
(a) not be undertaken if it is likely to detract by way of design, external appearance or
standard of construction from the heritage value and integrity of the Heritage Place;
(b) complement the external form, massing, fenestration, rhythm, colours, and texture of
materials of the Heritage Place;
(c) incorporate fencing and areas set aside for landscaping, particularly on the principal
street frontage of an allotment, which complement the era, style and landscape setting
of the Heritage Place;
(d) be consistent with the overall height and proportion of the Heritage Place and that of
surrounding buildings which contribute positively to the character of the locality;
(e) have a roof shape and pitch consistent with the Heritage Place and that of well
designed buildings in the locality;
(f)
be consistent with the siting and setback from property boundaries of the Heritage
Place;
(g) in the case of carports, garages and other outbuildings:
(i)
should be located behind the principal facade of the building;
(ii)
may be freestanding;
(iii) located to ensure garage doors do not visually dominate the facade of the building
facing the street; and
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
74
Victor Harbor (City)
(iv) exhibit architectural and roof form designs, and exterior finish and colours to
enhance and not diminish the historic character of the place; and
(h) in any case, maintain the prominence of the Heritage Place.
Local Heritage Places
For the purpose of interpreting principles of development control numbered 284 to 286 inclusive, a
Local Heritage Place is a Local Heritage Place identified in Table ViH/3.
284 Local Heritage Places should not be demolished, but instead be retained, upgraded and adapted
such that:
(a) the quality or condition which gives the place its heritage value, including, where
appropriate, the retention of any elements integral to significant cultural associations of
that building, structure or place is protected or enhanced;
(b) the place is put to a use which supports the maintenance and restoration of that
building, structure or place;
(c) the place is only altered so as to retain or restore the original external form, materials,
and colours in a manner compatible with its structural visual, material and historic
integrity; and
(d) where external arrangements and finishes are of heritage value it should only be
altered in a manner compatible with its structural, visual, material and historic integrity.
285 Demolition of a Local Heritage Place should not be undertaken unless the building, structure or
place is so structurally unsound it represents a risk to public safety and is beyond economic
repair and the irredeemable state of the structure is supported by appropriate independent expert
engineering advice. Unsympathetic (later) additions may be demolished if the later addition does
not contribute to the historic character of the place.
286 Any alteration or addition to a Local Heritage Place should reinforce and complement the historic
character of the place in terms of its design, siting, boundary setbacks, scale, built form and roof
shape, bulk, height, materials and external finishes and where applicable:
(a) additions should minimise their impact on the streetscape by siting to the rear or the
side of the existing building(s) and not forward of the existing building(s);
(b) the height of eaves and gutters on additions should be complementary with the existing
building;
(c) the proportions (vertical and horizontal) of additions visible from the street, should be
complementary with those of the existing building;
(d) materials may include masonry (stone and brick) render, timber boarding and
corrugated steel sheeting (walls and roof);
(e) materials such as mirror glass, ‘flat’ profile steel sheeting, unpainted zincalume
sheeting, wide fibre cement sheet planking and polished face concrete panels should
not be used where they are visible from the street;
(f)
roof conversions or additional upper floors are not desirable where they compromise
the historic integrity of the building or the view of the building from the street;
(g) roof conversions are acceptable where the alterations are fully incorporated under the
existing roof and dormer style windows are acceptable where they are not visible from
the street; and
(h) external colour schemes may be contemporary, but should not dramatically contrast
with the original colour scheme of the existing place.

State Heritage Places
A State Heritage Place is a place entered in the State Heritage Register, established under the
Heritage Act 1993. State Heritage Places within the City of Victor Harbor current at August 2002 are
listed in Table ViH/3.
287 In respect to State Heritage Places the extent of control and protection applies to all elements of
the subject building including the internal and external fabric, fencing, painting (colour) and minor
installation such as air conditioning units, roof fans and exhaust fans, together with any other
work that may affect the heritage value of the place.
288 A State Heritage Place should not be demolished or removed, all or in part, other than in the most
extreme circumstances, and in any case not unless:
(a) that portion of the building to be demolished or removed would not diminish the
historical significance of the place;
(b) it can be demonstrated that the structural condition of the place, or a designated
significant element, is so seriously unsound as to be unsafe and cannot be
rehabilitated;
(c) the irredeemable state of the structure is supported by appropriate independent
qualified expert engineering advice; and
(d) the development to replace the demolished State Heritage Place or significant element
thereof, is of a scale and character compatible with the locality and/or balance of the
place in terms of materials, form, scale, fenestration and features of any remaining
designated element of the place, and is designed to a high functional and architectural
standard.
289 State Heritage Places should be restored, rehabilitated, altered and added to in an appropriate
manner, which:
(a) preserves, respects and complements the original integrity, character, scale, street
frontage, architectural style, design, roof form and pitch, window and door openings and
specific features, materials, colours and finishes of the existing identified places;
(b) maintains or reinstates the integrity and prominence of the original street frontage and
significant streetscape and other aspects and features;
(c) integrates contemporary improvements and achieves opportunities to the rear or the
side behind the main building alignment, but without any compromise to the original
character, street prominence, siting, boundary setbacks, significant aspects and
heritage value of the place; and
(d) does not detrimentally affect the character, setting, heritage value, integrity or function
by development, including land division.
Open Space
OBJECTIVES
Objective 72: The conservation and preservation of flora, fauna, and significant areas of
bushland, and the creation of recreation areas by establishing parks and
reserves.
Although all remaining bushland areas in the region have some degree of importance, there are
certain areas which, because of their natural and visual cohesiveness or rare vegetation, should be
subject to further investigation for possible acquisition as conservation parks, game reserves and
recreation parks. The areas are shown on Fig OM/2.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
76
Victor Harbor (City)
More facilities will be needed to meet the increase in growth of recreational activities and more
roadside picnic areas should be provided.
Before any areas are acquired as public open space or subjected to any control, consideration should
be given to the effect on the management of relevant properties, in particular, economic viability,
convenience of operation, access to water and services, and the possible effects of public access.
Detailed investigations should also be made of flora and fauna, and surveys of outer boundaries
carried out in co-operation with local land owners as far as possible.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
290 Land for open space and recreation should be provided as part of urban development.
291 Open spaces and recreation areas should be located and designed to maximise safety and
security by:
(a) ensuring that the edges of open space within urban areas are overlooked by housing,
commercial or other development that can provide effective informal surveillance
(public open space should be generally adjoining by low-traffic volume roads with
development that faces both the road and areas of public open space beyond);
(b) ensuring that small parks and playgrounds have more than one entrance or exit when
fenced;
(c) locating play equipment where it can be informally observed by nearby residents and
users during expected times of use;
(d) clearly defining the perimeters of play areas;
(e) providing lighting around facilities such as toilets, telephones, seating, litter bins, bike
storage and car parks; and
(f)
focusing pedestrian and bicycle movement after dark along clearly defined, adequately
lit routes with observable entries and exits.
292 Landscaping associated with open space and recreation areas should:
(a) not compromise the drainage function of any drainage channel;
(b) provide shade and windbreaks along cyclist and pedestrian routes, around picnic and
barbecue areas and seating, and in car parking areas;
(c) maximise opportunities for informal surveillance throughout the park;
(d) enhance the visual amenity of the area and complement existing buildings;
(e) minimise maintenance costs and water use; and
(f)
provide habitat for local fauna by utilising local indigenous vegetation as much as
possible.
293 The development of recreation facilities should be undertaken in a manner that enhances the
amenity of the locality.
294 Open Space should be accessible and usable for recreation in accordance with the intended use
and, in particular:
(a) recreation parks should have a gradient no steeper than 1:20;
(b) linear open space should have a gradient no steeper than 1:14, and be accessible;
(c) natural areas that are accessible to the public should include safe areas for pedestrian
access.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
77
Victor Harbor (City)
295 Open space intended for active recreational activities should include at least one third of the area
for active recreation, with minimum dimensions of 30 metres by 40 metres and a gradient no
greater than 1:100.
296 Drainage reserves, gullies and road reserves should not be provided as forms of open space,
unless they have high conservation value or recreation potential.
297 Land required for drainage purposes should be provided in addition to the required allocation of
open space.
298 Development, including buildings and structures, in open space should:
(a) be designed, located and of a scale that is unobtrusive and does not detract from the
desired open space character;
(b) be clustered where practicable to ensure that the majority of any site remains open in
appearance;
(c) where practical, provide for multi-purpose use; and
(d) minimise the extent of hard paved areas.
Infrastructure
OBJECTIVES
Objective 73: Infrastructure provided in an economical and environmentally sensitive manner.
Objective 74: The visual impact of infrastructure facilities minimised.
Objective 75: The efficient and cost-effective use of existing infrastructure.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
299 Development should only occur where it has access to adequate utilities and services, including:
(a) electricity supply;
(b) water supply;
(c) drainage and stormwater systems;
(d) effluent disposal systems;
(e) formed all-weather public roads;
(f)
telecommunications services.
300 Development should incorporate any relevant and appropriate social infrastructure, community
services and facilities.
301 Development should only occur where it provides, or has access to, relevant easements for the
supply of infrastructure.
302 Development should incorporate provision for the supply of infrastructure services to be located
within common service trenches where practicable.
303 Development should not occur until adequate and coordinated drainage of the land is provided.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
78
Victor Harbor (City)
304 Development in urban areas should not occur without provision of an adequate reticulated
domestic quality mains water supply and an appropriate waste treatment system.
305 In areas where no reticulated water supply is available, buildings whose usage is reliant on a
water supply should be equipped with an adequate and reliable on-site water storage system.
306 Urban development should have a direct water supply.
307 Electricity infrastructure should be designed and located to minimise visual and environmental
impacts.
308 Utilities and services, including access roads and tracks, should be sited on areas already
cleared of native vegetation. If this is not possible, their siting should cause minimal interference
or disturbance to existing native vegetation and biodiversity.
309 Utility buildings and structures should be grouped with non-residential development, where
possible.
310 Development in proximity to infrastructure facilities should be sited and be of a scale to ensure
adequate separation to protect people and property.
311 Incompatible uses should not encroach upon the easements of infrastructure corridors for
existing and proposed transmission lines.
312 In urban areas, electricity supply (except transmission lines) serving new development should be
installed underground, excluding lines having a capacity greater than or equal to 33kV.
313 Provision should be made for new transmission and distribution substations and overhead major
electricity line corridors (having a capacity greater than or equal to 33kV) in areas which have the
required buffer distance to protect people and allow for adequate access.
314 Land division for the purpose of residential and other sensitive land uses should not occur within
electricity line corridors or existing electricity easements unless the resultant allotments are large
enough to enable accommodation of safe clearances and expected structures.
Rural Development
OBJECTIVES
Objective 76: The retention of rural areas primarily for agricultural, pastoral and forestry
purposes, and the maintenance of the natural character and beauty of such areas.
Pressures for the division of rural land are likely to accelerate because of the commuting possibilities
that the South Mount Lofty Ranges and other near-metropolitan areas offer to people who work in the
metropolitan area. The removal of primary production from rural areas places greater dependence
upon the diminishing fertile areas. It is in the community interest that as much agricultural land as
possible be retained in primary production. The region contains some of the best agricultural land in
the State and is ideally situated to serve the food requirements of the metropolitan area.
The protection of the natural beauty, agricultural land and water resources, should remain the overriding consideration governing decisions relating to development of rural land.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
315 Land which is particularly suitable for agriculture, including viticulture and horticulture, should be
used or remain available to be used for such agricultural production, unless it is required for
public purposes or for development consistent with the objectives of the zone concerned.
316 Rural areas should be retained primarily for horticultural, agricultural, pastoral and forestry
purposes and other uses compatible with maintaining rural productivity.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
79
Victor Harbor (City)
317 Development should ensure that genuine agricultural activities are not prejudiced.
318 Development should ensure the sustainable use of land for primary production by the use of
sound land management practices.
319 Development which would remove productive land from agriculture or diminish its overall
productivity for primary production, should not be undertaken unless the land is required for
essential public purposes.
320 Primary production should be carried out having regard to water conservation, the preservation of
bushland remnants and landscape beauty.
321 Buildings should not impair the character of rural areas by reason of their scale or siting.
Appearance of Land and Buildings
OBJECTIVES
Objective 77: The amenity of localities not impaired by the appearance of land, buildings, and
objects.
Untidy commercial sites, poorly maintained holiday houses, and abandoned structures, should not be
allowed to mar the landscape in the region.
Objective 78: Compatibility of new buildings with the scenic views of Victor Harbor and with
surrounding buildings.
Objective 79: Improvement of the appearance of all development throughout the district.
Objective 80: Preservation of landscapes of aesthetic merit, and sites and localities of natural
beauty.
Objective 81: Protection of the natural skyline from artificial intrusion.
Objective 82: Provision of attractive, landscaped, parking areas.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
322 Building development should be located and designed in respect of the size, colour, form, siting,
architectural style and materials of construction of buildings to harmonise with, the objectives for
an area, other buildings of historical significance or heritage value or, in the absence of guidance
from these, the predominant character of existing building development.
323 Development should take place in a manner which will not, in respect of its appearance, interfere
with the achievement of the objectives for an area or, otherwise, the existing character of
scenically or environmentally important areas, including areas which are prominently visible from
other land or are frequented by the public.
324 Trees, shrubs and other vegetation should be established as part of development where the
environment will thereby be improved.
325 Prior to the commencement of any development, trees, shrubs and other vegetation should be
established, or other appropriate measures taken, which would be effective in screening:
(a) future excavation and earthworks (including cutting and filling of natural surfaces,
quarrying and stockpiling of excavated material);
(b) new buildings; or
(c) views of any other development which is likely to become unsightly.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
80
Victor Harbor (City)
326 Building development should be located or screened effectively so that it is not prominently
visible from a primary, arterial, secondary arterial or major local road or scenic route, in the Rural
Living 1 Zone, Rural Living 2 Zone, General Farming Zone, Watershed Zone, Rural Coastal Zone
and Foreshore Zone.
327 Trees, other vegetation and earth mounding should be retained or provided as part of the
development where the environment will be visually improved by such a provision.
328 Alterations or additions to buildings should be designed and constructed to harmonise with the
character of the existing building.
329 Development should take place in a manner which will minimise alteration to the existing land
form.
330 Excavation and earthworks should take place in a manner that is not extensively visible from
surrounding localities.
331 Facilities for the storage and removal of waste materials should not be obtrusive or have an
untidy appearance when viewed from adjoining roads or allotments.
332 The rural character, comprising natural features and man-made activities, should be preserved
by careful siting, design and landscaping of new building development and or intensive land
uses.
333 Driveways and access tracks to properties should be designed and constructed to blend
sympathetically with the landscape and to minimise interference with natural vegetation and
landforms.
334 Buildings or structures should be sited unobtrusively and be of a character and design which will
blend naturally with the landscape.
335 No development should impair:
(a) the natural character of the South Mount Lofty Ranges Region; or
(b) the skyline of the South Mount Lofty Ranges Region.
Outdoor Advertisements
OBJECTIVES
Objective 83: An urban environment and rural landscape not disfigured by advertisements.
Objective 84: Advertisements in retail, commercial and industrial urban areas, and centre
zones, designed to enhance the appearance of those areas.
Objective 85: Advertisements not hazardous to any person.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
336 The location, siting, size, shape and materials of construction, of advertisements should be:
(a) consistent with the desired character of areas or zones as described by their objectives;
(b) consistent with the predominant character of the urban or rural landscape; or
(c) in harmony with any building or site of historic significance or heritage value in the
locality.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
81
Victor Harbor (City)
337 Advertisements should not detrimentally affect by way of their siting, size, shape, scale, glare,
reflection, or colour, the amenity of areas, zones, or localities, in which they are situated.
338 Advertisements should not impair the amenity of areas, zones, or localities, in which they are
situated by creating, or adding to, clutter, visual disorder, and the untidiness of buildings and
spaces.
339 Advertisements should not obscure views of attractive landscapes or particular trees or groups of
trees.
340 The scale of advertisements should be compatible with the buildings on which they are situated
and with nearby buildings and spaces.
341 Advertisements should be constructed and designed in a workman-like manner.
342 Advertisements wholly or partly consisting of bunting, streamers, flats, windvanes, and the like,
should not detrimentally affect the amenity of areas, zones, or localities, in which they are
situated.
343 Advertisements on buildings that have a single architectural theme but which contain a number of
tenancies, should be attached and displayed so as to be coordinated with that theme.
344 Advertisements should not be erected in positions close to existing electricity mains so that
potentially hazardous situations are created.
345 Advertisements should not create a hazard to persons travelling by any means.
346 Advertisements should not obscure a driver's view of other road vehicles, of rail vehicles at or
approaching level crossings, of pedestrians, and of features of the road such as junctions, bends,
changes in width, traffic control devices and the like, that are potentially hazardous.
347 Advertisements should not be so highly illuminated as to cause discomfort to an approaching
driver, or create difficulty in his perception of the road, or of persons or objects on it.
348 Advertisements should not be liable to interpretation by drivers as an official traffic sign, or
convey to drivers information that might be confused with instructions given by traffic signals or
other control devices, or impair the conspicuous nature of traffic signs or signals.
349 Advertisements should not distract drivers from the primary driving task at a location where the
demands on driver concentration are high.
350 Outdoor advertisements should be designed and located to:
(a) reinforce the desired character and amenity of the locality;
(b) be concise and efficient in communicating with the public, avoiding a proliferation of
confusing and cluttered displays or a large number of advertisements; and
(c) not create a hazard.
351 Advertisements should be designed to respect and enhance the desired character and amenity of
the locality by the means listed below:
(a) the scale, type, design, location, materials, colour, style and illumination of any
advertisements should be compatible with the design and character of the buildings
and land to which it is related, and should be in accordance with provisions for the Zone
and Policy Area in which it is situated and any relevant provisions in adjacent Zones or
Policy Areas;
(b) advertisements should be integrated with the architectural form, style and colour of
buildings and wherever possible, requirements for advertisements should be
considered in the design of new buildings;
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
82
Victor Harbor (City)
(c) advertisements should be artistically interesting in terms of graphics and construction
with intricacy and individuality in design encouraged while maintaining consistency in
design and style where coordinated advertisements are appropriate;
(d) structural supports should be concealed from public view or of minimal visual impact;
(e) advertisements on individual premises should be co-ordinated in terms of type and
design and should be limited in number to minimize visual clutter;
(f)
advertisement should be displayed on the site of any building so as not to protrude
above the level of the highest wall of that building; and
(g) free standing signs and advertisements on buildings or sites occupied by a number of
tenants should be coordinated; and complementary and the number kept to a minimum.
Telecommunications Facilities
OBJECTIVES
Objective 86: Telecommunications facilities provided to meet the needs of the community.
Objective 87: Telecommunications facilities located and designed to minimise visual impact on
the amenity of the local environment.
Telecommunications facilities are an essential infrastructure required to meet the rapidly increasing
community demand for communications technologies. To meet this demand there will be a need for
new telecommunication facilities to be constructed.
The Commonwealth Telecommunications Act 1997 is pre-eminent in relation to telecommunications
facilities. The Telecommunications (Low Impact Facilities) Determination 1997 identifies a range of
facilities that are exempt from State planning legislation. The development of low impact facilities to
achieve necessary coverage is encouraged in all circumstances where possible to minimise visual
impacts on local environments.
Where required, the construction of new facilities is encouraged in preferred industrial and
commercial, and appropriate non-residential zones. Recognising that new facility development will be
unavoidable in more sensitive areas in order to achieve coverage for users of communications
technologies, facility design and location in such circumstances must ensure visual impacts on the
amenity of local environments are minimised.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
352 Telecommunications facilities should:
(a) be located and designed to meet the communication needs of the community;
(b) utilise materials and finishes that minimise visual impact;
(c) have antennae located as close as practical to the support structure;
(d) primarily be located in industrial, commercial, business, office, centre and rural zones;
(e) incorporate landscaping to screen the development, in particular equipment shelters
and huts; and
(f)
be designed and sited to minimise the visual impact on the character and amenity of
the local environment, in particular visually prominent areas, main focal points or
significant vistas.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
83
Victor Harbor (City)
353 Where technically feasible, co-location of telecommunications facilities should primarily occur in
industrial, commercial, business, office, centre and rural zones;
354 Telecommunications facilities in areas of high visitation and community use should utilise, where
possible, innovative design techniques such as sculpture and art, where the facilities would
contribute to the character of the area.
355 Telecommunications facilities should only be located in residential zones if sited and designed so
as to minimise visual impact by:
(a) utilising screening by existing buildings and vegetation;
(b) where possible, being incorporated into, and designed to suit the characteristics of an
existing structure that may serve another purpose; and
(c) taking into account existing size, scale, context and characteristics of existing
structures, land forms and vegetation so as to complement the local environment.
356 Telecommunications facilities should not detrimentally affect the character or amenity of Historic
Conservation Zones or Policy Areas, Local Heritage Places, State Heritage Places or State
Heritage Areas.
Bushfire Protection
Bushfire Protection Objectives and Principles of Development Control apply to the General, Medium
and High Bushfire Risk areas shown on Bushfire Protection Area Figures ViH(BPA) 1 to 7, except
where exempted.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 88: Development should minimise the threat and impact of bushfires on life and
property while protecting the natural and rural character.
Objective 89: Buildings and the intensification of non-rural land uses directed away from areas
of high bushfire risk.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
357 Buildings and structures should be located away from areas that pose an unacceptable bushfire
risk as a result of one or more of the following:
(a) vegetation cover comprising trees and/or shrubs;
(b) poor access;
(c) rugged terrain;
(d) inability to provide an adequate building protection zone; or
(e) inability to provide an adequate supply of water for fire-fighting purposes.
358 Residential, tourist accommodation and other habitable buildings should:
(a) be sited on the flatter portion of allotments and avoid steep slopes, especially upper
slopes, narrow ridge crests and the tops of narrow gullies, and slopes with a northerly
or westerly aspect;
(b) be sited in areas with low bushfire hazard vegetation and set back at least 20 metres
from existing hazardous vegetation; and

359 Extensions to existing buildings, outbuildings and other ancillary structures should be located and
constructed using materials to minimise the threat of fire spread to residential, tourist
accommodation and other habitable buildings in the event of bushfire.
360 Buildings and structures should be designed and configured to reduce the impact of bushfire
through using simple designs that reduce the potential for trapping burning debris against the
building or structure, or between the ground and building floor level in the case of transportable
buildings.
361 Land division for residential or tourist accommodation purposes within areas of high bushfire risk
should be limited to those areas specifically set aside for these uses.
362 Where land division does occur it should be designed to:
(a) minimise the danger to residents, other occupants of buildings and fire-fighting
personnel;
(b) minimise the extent of damage to buildings and other property during a bushfire;
(c) ensure each allotment contains a suitable building site that is located away from
vegetation that would pose an unacceptable risk in the event of bushfire; and
(d) ensure provision of a fire hazard separation zone isolating residential allotments from
areas that pose an unacceptable bushfire risk by containing the allotments within a
perimeter road or through other means that achieve an adequate separation.
363 Vehicle access and driveways to properties and public roads created by land division should be
designed and constructed to:
(a) facilitate safe and effective operational use for fire-fighting and other emergency
vehicles and residents; and
(b) provide for two-way vehicular access between areas of fire risk and the nearest public
road.
364 Development in a Bushfire Protection Area should be in accordance with those provisions of the
Minister’s Code: Undertaking development in Bushfire Protection Areas that are designated as
mandatory for Development Plan Consent purposes.
Commercial and Industrial Development
365 Industrial or commercial uses of land should be operated during such hours as not to cause
nuisance to adjoining landowners.
366 Noise levels generated by an industrial or commercial activity on the site of that activity should
not cause nuisance to persons in the locality.
367 Effluent from any industrial or commercial operation, which is likely to cause pollution to any
watercourse, should not be discharged to that watercourse.
Keeping of Animals
368 An intensive animal keeping unit should be located so as to minimise any adverse impact on the
natural environment and on existing and proposed land uses in the area.
369 All buildings, pens, yards, runs, holding yards, waste management facilities and other ancillary
structures, should be located as unobtrusively as possible.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

370 Any deterioration of soil quality resulting from intensive animal keeping and associated
management practice should be minimal.
371 Intensive animal keeping units and associated waste storage facilities and disposal sites should
not be located on water-logged land or flood-prone areas.
372 Intensive animal keeping should be located so as to minimise noise, dust and odour problems,
taking local meteorological conditions into account.
373 The keeping of large numbers of animals at high densities should normally occur only in sparsely
populated farming areas outside of the Watershed Zone in which landholdings are large.
374 The concentration of intensive animal keeping activities in proximity to one another should be
avoided.
375 Effluent and other wastes from the keeping of animals should be managed properly to minimise
disturbance to public health and the amenity of the locality.
376 No animals should be kept which are vermin or which are liable to cause a nuisance by the
harbouring of disease or parasites.
377 Animals should be confined or restrained at all times to prevent straying or trespass.
Building Setback
378 No building should be erected, added to or altered on any land so that any portion of such
building is erected, added to or altered nearer to the existing boundary of a road than the
distance prescribed for each road or portion thereof, in Column 3 of Table ViH/6, unless the
proposal satisfies principles of development control numbered 369 to 373.
379 Non-residential buildings which are large in bulk or height in comparison to other buildings in the
locality on land with frontage to the same road should be setback further from that road than
those other buildings.
380 Depending upon the degree of their visibility from a road, non-residential buildings having an
external surface which is highly reflective, or brightly coloured in comparison to that of other
buildings in the locality, on land with frontage to the same road should be setback further from
that road than those other buildings.
381 The distance by which non-residential building development is setback from a road should be
related to the effectiveness of the screening of views of the building development from that road
by existing vegetation, natural landforms or other natural features or by other existing buildings.
The more effective the screening, the less should be the setback of building development from a
road.
382 Where an allotment has two or more boundaries to roads, the distance by which building
development is setback from a road should be such as will not create unsafe traffic conditions.
383 The distance by which building development is setback from a road should be consistent with the
distance by which other buildings on land in the locality with frontage to the same road are
setback from that road, particularly where those other buildings are of heritage interest or
significance.

South Mount Lofty Ranges Region
OBJECTIVES
The objectives and principles that follow apply to the South Mount Lofty Ranges Region as described
in Tables ViH/1 and 2. They are additional to all other objectives and principles included in the
Council-wide section of the Development Plan.
Objective 93: The maintenance and enhancement of the national resources of the South Mount
Lofty Ranges Region.
Objective 94: The enhancement of the South Mount Lofty Ranges Region catchments as
sources of high quality water.
Objective 95: The long-term sustainability of rural production in the South Mount Lofty Ranges
Region ensured.
Objective 96: The preservation and restoration of remnant native vegetation in the South Mount
Lofty Ranges Region.
Objective 97: The enhancement of the amenity and landscape of the South Mount Lofty
Ranges Region for the enjoyment of all residents and visitors.
Objective 98: The development of a sustainable tourism industry with accommodation,
attractions and facilities which relate to and interpret the natural and cultural
resources of the South Mount Lofty Ranges Region, and increase the
opportunities for visitors to stay overnight.
Agricultural Industries (Small Scale), Wineries, Mineral Water Extraction and Processing
Plants, and Home Based Industries
Objective 99: The development of agricultural industries (small-scale), wineries, mineral water
extraction and processing plants and home based industries in rural areas.
Wineries and small scale, low impact agricultural and home based industries are encouraged where
they expand the economic base of the South Mount Lofty Ranges Region as shown on Figure 1 South
Mount Lofty Ranges Region. Industries should be based upon the processing of agricultural produce
primarily from the South Mount Lofty Ranges Region. Home based industries should be based on
rural, arts, crafts, tourist, cultural or heritage activities appropriate to the Region. Development should
complement the region’s character and enhance tourist or heritage activities and be compatible with
local areas.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

Victor Harbor (City)
Larger scale industries and related activities are more suited to designated industrial or commercial
zones within townships in the South Mount Lofty Ranges or other urban areas.
Objective 100: The extension of the economic base of the South Mount Lofty Ranges Region in
an environmentally sensitive and sustainable manner.
The region continues to grow in importance, particularly for primary production and is developing as a
tourism destination. Development should encourage compatible, flexible and sustainable commercial
rural production of food and other primary products and tourism development where it is appropriate to
rural areas. Diversification within these industries should be encouraged to meet changing needs,
particularly in the Primary Production Area of the region.
Tourism development within the rural areas should be small in scale and appropriate to the rural
amenity and environment. Larger tourism developments and related retail activities should remain
primarily focussed on townships and centres.
Development must be balanced between meeting social, environmental and economic goals and can
be more flexible in the Primary Production Zone than in the watershed.
The South Mount Lofty Ranges Watershed is used for a range of purposes including, living and rural
primary production. Sometimes these uses can be in conflict and can lead to degradation in water
quality of the watershed.
The Watershed Area is of critical importance to South Australia as it provides 60 percent of Adelaide’s
water supply. Maintenance and enhancement of the water quality of the Watershed and prevention of
pollution is of high priority.
A lowering of water quality has been linked to the cumulative effects of a large number of small
pollution sources. It is important that any activities allowed in the watershed are only approved subject
to stringent environmental performance criteria and the policies ensure that the overall number, size
and scale of development is limited.
Watershed Protection
Objective 101: The protection of the South Mount Lofty Ranges Watershed against pollution and
contamination.
Objective 102: The prevention of development which could lead to a deterioration in the quality of
surface or underground waters within the South Mount Lofty Ranges Watershed.
The region includes land within the watershed of the South Mount Lofty Ranges which contains the
catchment areas for existing and proposed reservoirs serving metropolitan Adelaide and adjacent
areas. The quality of water within the existing reservoirs is deteriorating at an alarming rate. Special
control of development in the watershed is necessary to ensure a continued economic supply of safe
drinking water. In particular there should be no additional allotments created since these are likely to
give rise to additional development and activities. It is also important that development minimises
pollution within the watershed.
Conservation
Objective 103: Retention of native vegetation.
Although South Australia has a reasonably comprehensive national parks reserve system, there is a
considerable amount of native vegetation on private and public land which it is impractical to
incorporate into the reserve system. Because the loss of native vegetation since settlement has
reached a stage where any further losses could lead to unacceptable species extinctions, it is now
necessary to conserve this off-park vegetation wherever possible. The retention of native vegetation
also has benefits in respect of landscape amenity, water quality and soil stability.
Objective 104: Buildings and other structures sited on allotments in a manner which minimises
the requirement to clear or remove native vegetation.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
97
Victor Harbor (City)
Proposals for the establishment of buildings or other structures on allotments which are wholly or
partly covered in native vegetation should be designed and sited in a manner which requires the least
area of vegetation to be cleared and the least fragmentation of homogeneous areas of native
vegetation.
Objective 105: Land division, including boundary rearrangement, which retains areas of native
vegetation on single or the least number of allotments.
General
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
389 Development within the South Mount Lofty Ranges Region should be compatible with its use as a
water catchment and storage area, and with its values as an area of agricultural production and
scenic quality.
390 Development should primarily be limited to that which is essential for the maintenance of
sustainable grazing, commercial forestry and mixed agricultural activities.
391 Activities which produce strong organic, chemical, or other intractable wastes, should not be
established in the Mount Lofty Ranges Watershed (other than wineries, where the risk to water
supply is negligible with appropriate management, design and siting).
Form of Development
392 Development should not take place if it may result in over exploitation of surface or underground
water resources.
393 Development should be located such that it is not detrimentally affected by flooding and does not
increase the risk of flooding of other properties and in particular development should:
(a) not obstruct or interfere with watercourses;
(b) have primary regard for human safety and the protection of property; and
(c) be located where the risk of flooding is appropriate for the intended use of the land.
394 Development should not be undertaken in the vicinity of known mineral deposits:
(a) until the full extent and significance of such deposits has been determined;
(b) if such development would be incompatible with mining operations; or
(c) if it would add to the cost of extracting the resource.
395 Development on poorly drained land should not take place until effective remedial measures
have been taken.
396 The excavation and/or filling of land should:
(a) be limited to no greater than 1.5 metres so as to preserve the natural form of the land
and the native vegetation;
(b) only be undertaken in order to reduce the visual impact of buildings, including
structures, or in order to construct water storage facilities for use on the allotment;
(c) only be undertaken if the resultant slope can be stabilised to prevent erosion; and
(d) result in stable scree slopes which are covered with top soil and landscaped so as to
preserve and enhance the natural character or assist in the re-establishment of the
natural character of the South Mount Lofty Ranges Region.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
98
Victor Harbor (City)
397 Development should not be undertaken if the construction, operation and/or management of such
development is likely to result in:
(a) the pollution of surface or groundwater;
(b) degradation of watercourses or wetlands;
(c) unnecessary loss or damage to native vegetation;
(d) the denudation of pastures;
(e) erosion;
(f)
dust;
(g) noise nuisance ;
(h) the introduction of or an increase in the number of pest plants or vermin;
(i)
increased risk of flooding or impairment of stream water quality through the disposal of
stormwater; or
(j)
sealing of large areas of ground likely to result in increased stormwater run-off.
398 Buildings, including structures, should be located in unobtrusive locations and, in particular,
should:
(a) be located well below the ridge line;
(b) be located within valleys or behind spurs;
(c) be located in such a way as to not be visible against the skyline when viewed from
public roads and especially from the South Mount Lofty Ranges Scenic Road;
(d) be set well back from public roads, particularly when the allotment is on the high side of
the road;
(e) be sited on an excavated rather than a filled site in order to reduce the vertical profile of
the building;
(f)
where possible be located in such a way as to be screened by existing native
vegetation when viewed from public roads and especially from the South Mount Lofty
Ranges Scenic Road; and
(g) be located in such a way as to maximise the retention of existing native vegetation and
the protection and retention of watercourses in their natural state.
399 Buildings, including structures, should be designed in such a way and be of such a scale as to be
unobtrusive and not detract from the desired natural character of the South Mount Lofty Ranges
Region and, in particular:
(a) the profile of buildings should be low and the roof lines should complement the natural
form of the land;
(b) the mass of buildings should be minimised by variations in wall and roof lines and by
floor plans which complement the contours of the land; and
(c) large eaves, verandahs and pergolas should be incorporated into designs so as to
create shadowed areas which reduce the bulky appearance of buildings.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

Victor Harbor (City)
400 The external materials of buildings should:
(a) have surfaces which are of a low light-reflective nature; and
(b) be of natural colours so as to be unobtrusive, blend with a natural rural landscape and
minimise any visual intrusion.
401 Buildings, including structures, on allotments which abut the South Mount Lofty Ranges Scenic
Road should be set well back from the scenic road.
402 Buildings:
(a) should have a year round water supply and a safe and efficient effluent disposal system
whio that the desired natural character of the South Mount Lofty Ranges Region is not
adversely affected.
403 Additions to buildings should:
(a) be located on the side of the dwelling which minimises the obtrusiveness of the
completed building; and
(b) comply with the previously mentioned principles of development control relating to the
location and design of buildings.
404 The number of outbuildings should be limited, and where appropriate they should be grouped
together, located in unobtrusive locations and comply with the previously mentioned principles of
development control relating to the location and design of buildings.
405 Driveways and access tracks should follow the contours of the land so as to reduce their visual
impact and erosion from water run-off and be surfaced with dark materials. The excavation/filling
of land should be kept to a minimum in order to preserve the natural form of the land and the
native vegetation.
406 Native trees, shrubs and ground covers should be established to screen development, including
scree slopes created as a result of the excavation and/or filling of land, in such a way that the
bushfire hazard is not increased. Screening mounds may also be appropriate.
Tourism Development
407 Tourism developments should:
(a) enhance the character of the locality in which they are to be located;
(b) be compatible with the cultural and heritage values of the locality and the region;
(c) be small in scale and designed and sited to be compatible with the local environment;
(d) enhance the visual amenity of the locality; and
(e) utilise, where possible, existing buildings, and particularly heritage buildings.
408 Major tourism developments should preferably be located within existing townships, settlements,
urban areas or designated zones.
409 Tourism developments in rural areas should ensure that agricultural activities are maintained as
the predominant land use in the region, and are situated on land with lower agricultural potential.
500 Tourism developments, where proposed to be located in proximity to rural industry and seasonal
activities should be designed and sited to reduce the potential for disturbance or disruption to the
tourist activity and should be located in a manner which is compatible with surrounding uses.

Victor Harbor (City)
The character of the Regional Town Centre of Victor Harbor is principally derived from built form,
infrastructure and landscapes relating to the cultural and historical associations of Victor Harbor as a
prominent historical transport node linking rail and sea, a prominent seaside holiday destination, and,
more recently, a regional centre. The coastal setting of Victor Harbor has, and will continue to play, an
important role in influencing this character. Historical buildings and infrastructure relating to the
themes of early settlement, transport and leisure activities have a strong influence on the built form
character of the Regional Town Centre. Reserves and public recreation areas with established mature
pines, palms and fig trees take advantage of the coastal location and will continue to ensure a high
level of amenity. Views form within the town centre to Granite Island, the causeway, Bluff and
surrounding hills provide a strong understanding of Victor Harbor’s identity as a regional coastal
centre.
Aspects that contribute to the Centre’s positive built form character include buildings with little or no
side or front setbacks, verandahs and balconies over footpaths, shop fronts with direct footpath
interaction, buildings with a relatively high degree of modulation and detailing in their facades,
simplicity in form, consistent building scale and pedestrian dominated streets and public spaces. It is
imperative that future development within the Regional Town Centre Zone maintains and enhances its
identity and character by reinforcing these positive built form elements and ensuring that development
respects and compliments the character and setting of heritage places.
New development will include modulation and detail in their frontages and façade treatments,
simplicity in form, minimal or no setbacks, use of balconies and verandahs and active land uses at
ground level that engage the public both passively and actively and help to create vibrant and lively
public spaces. Key ‘landmark’ sites are nominated within the Zone or specific Policy Areas to provide
the opportunity to expand upon the existing built form, adding to the vibrancy, liveliness and
sustainability of the Regional Town Centre. The arrangement of development on Landmark
Development Sites, limiting height at the street front and providing more substantial set-backs to
upper levels will ensure that new buildings relate to the existing scale of built form in the town centre
at street level. Development on these sites will be carefully designed to be sympathetic to Victor
Harbor’s unique character.
Victor Harbor is a popular tourist destination with the Regional Town Centre being a tourist attraction
in its own right. A significant focus for future development will be to improve the Centre as a vibrant
and memorable holiday, seaside destination, providing both residential and visitor accommodation
opportunities.
The Regional Town Centre will develop its movement system by providing an appropriate balance
between ease of access, parking, high pedestrian connectivity, safety and amenity. Development will
have emphasis on creating safe and attractive pedestrian networks particularly within and adjacent to
the foreshore areas. Opportunities to develop new pedestrian connections involving land in public and
private ownership are necessary to facilitate a fully integrated, ‘permeable’ and cohesive centre.

2
New residential development should only occur above active ground floor, non-residential uses,
and should not prejudice the operation of existing or future retail or commercial activity within the
zone, including live entertainment venues.
Form and Character of Development
3
Development should occur in accordance with Structure Plan MAP ViH/1 (Overlay 1)
Enlargement B.
4
Development should be consistent with the desired character for the zone and each policy area.
5
Development should be designed to promote pedestrian linkages between developments and
public areas.
6
Development within the centre should be located and designed with a view to promoting afterhours use.
7
Development of Landmark Development Sites that are identified in Fig ViH/1 as requiring ‘active
street frontages’*, should be designed to create active ground floor street frontages and land
uses i.e. shops and commercial uses which encourage activity and interest to passing
pedestrians and contribute to the liveliness, vitality and security of public areas.
* Active street frontage means a street frontage that enables direct visual and/or physical contact between the street and
the interior of the adjoining building.
8
Development should not produce noise pollution, traffic volumes or other disturbances to an
extent likely to adversely affect the residential use and amenity in the adjoining Residential Zone.
This can be achieved by a combination of, but not limited to, the following:
(a) utilising noise attenuation devices and building design to minimise the emission and
effect of noise;
(b) providing visual relief by way of landscaping on the perimeter of the site and within
vehicle parking areas;
(c) locating waste collection and storage areas away from the boundary with Residential
Zone and within specially designed enclosures; and
(d) limiting the hours of operation.
9
Development should comply with the following noise emission standards:
(a) Australian Standard AS 2107 – Acoustic: recommended design sound levels and
reverberation times for building interiors
(b) Australian Standard AS 3671 – Road traffic noise intrusions, building site and
construction
(c) current South Australian Environment Protection Authority noise policy
Appearance of Land and Buildings
10
Development should establish a cohesive and integrated township character by:
(a) defining streets as important linear public spaces by:
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
128
Victor Harbor (City)
(i)
generally ensuring that buildings maintain, or establish a continuous built edge
abutting or close to street frontages;
(ii)
emphasizing the intersections of streets with corner buildings of a scale and form
appropriate to their location;
(b) avoiding the use of large expanses of highly reflective materials;
(c) the design, external materials, colours and finishes of buildings should have regard to
their surrounding townscape context, built form and public environment; and
(d) ensuring the height of any building is compatible with the desired character and in
accordance with the landmark development site provisions contained in the relevant
Policy Area.
11
Services and mechanical plant and equipment should not be visible from adjacent public areas.
12
Buildings should be orientated to address all street frontages, particularly the primary street
frontage.
13
Development in Ocean Street should be consistent with the following requirements:
(a) buildings should be constructed to the street boundary, with no side setbacks (unless
providing for public pedestrian access purposes);
(b) with the exception of Landmark Development Sites, buildings should be one or two
storeys above existing natural ground level with a third storey possible provided it has a
minimum setback from the street boundary of 10 metres;
(c) buildings should incorporate the use of verandahs and balconies on a scale similar to
those on existing buildings in Ocean Street, with gables or parapets facing the street;
(d) shop fronts should be designed to create a ‘fine grain’* streetscape;
(e) building frontages should be dominated by openings (windows, doors), with blank walls
not to exceed 2 metres in length; and
(f)
commercial signage should be coordinated, encouraging more subtle forms of
advertising.
* A fine grain streetscape is defined by the appearance of narrow or small building frontages, as opposed to large
unarticulated façades. A large building frontage may be ‘broken up’ through the placement of windows, doors and other
building treatments.
Building Heights and Siting
14
The height of development should generally not exceed 2 storeys (9 metres) above existing
natural ground level, other than where identified by specific provisions contained in the policy
areas for the Regional Town Centre Zone.
15
Buildings should be sited close to or abutting street frontages, with particular attention given to
creating defined edges to corner sites, Landmark Development Sites and areas of public open
space.
Movement and Parking
16
Car parking should be provided under or behind buildings so as not to be visible from the main
street frontages.
17
Deck car parks should be developed in concealed areas, such as in the locations identified in Fig
ViH/1, should integrate with adjoining development, and should serve the needs of shoppers,
tourists and short term visitors.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
129
Victor Harbor (City)
18
Development should ensure integration and sharing of vehicular access/egress points and car
parking areas.
19
Development should provide public access and pedestrian through-site links such as those
identified in the Regional Town Centre Structure Plan, MAP ViH/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement B and
include the following:
(a) links are designed and constructed to enhance the pedestrian environment to have
regard to the mobility needs of all groups;
(b) designed to cater for the anticipated volume of pedestrian movement;
(c) ensure pedestrians are not disrupted or inconvenienced by badly designed or located
vehicle access ramps in footpaths or streets; and
(d) vehicle and service entry points are kept to a minimum to avoid adverse impact on
pedestrian safety and amenity.
Heritage and Conservation
20
The use of land, buildings and structures comprising a heritage place should facilitate their
conservation, restoration and adaptive reuse. Items of heritage significance are listed in Table
ViH/3.
21
Advertisements on or affecting views of a heritage place should be designed to respect the
integrity, heritage value and overall appearance of the heritage place.
22
Development should conserve and reinforce the intimate and cohesive townscapes of Ocean
Street, Coral Street, Railway Terrace and Burke Street, by protecting historic elements,
improvements of existing features and ensure new development is compatible with historic
buildings and township character.
Street Furniture
23
Street furniture, including lighting, signs, litter bins, seats, bicycle parking facilities, bollards, and
public art, should be designed and located so as to complement the townscape character and
relevant policy area in which it is located.
Land Division
24
Land division, or the rearrangement of existing boundaries, should take place as part of a
coordinated development scheme, or as a rationalisation of land holdings that is designed to
allow efficient and economic use of land to enable the objectives of the zone and policy areas to
be achieved.
PROCEDURAL MATTERS

Shopping Policy Area 16
Introduction
The Objectives and Principles of Development Control that follow apply to that part of the Regional
Town Centre Zone shown on Maps ViH/16, ViH/21, ViH/22, ViH/32 and ViH/33. They are additional to
those expressed for the whole of the Victor Harbor council area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
Establishment of major retail shopping development in association with office,
commercial and appropriate medium density residential development.
Objective 2:
Consolidation of development within the area through coordinated and integrated
redevelopment and the amalgamation of allotments where appropriate.
DESIRED CHARACTER
The Shopping Policy Area will remain the primary focus of supermarket and convenience shopping
within the Regional Town Centre. Opportunities for the consolidation of sites and the redevelopment
and a staged expansion of the existing shopping centre complex should integrate the centre with the
Business Policy Area.
Development will minimize its impact on adjacent residential precincts through the careful design and
management of building bulk and scale, service access and car parking.
The redevelopment of the Victor Central Shopping Centre will create opportunities to re-establish an
active shopping frontage on the corner of Torrens Street and Crozier Road and create improved and
activated pedestrian access into the centre and to Business Policy Areas.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form of Development
1
Development in this area should be, primarily, retail and commercial activities requiring large
retail floor spaces and sites, offices and consulting rooms together with community centre
facilities.
2
Medium density residential development, which is secondary to the primary objective of the policy
area for retail and commercial uses, above non-residential ground floor uses.
3
Large retail or commercial buildings should contribute to the creation of an interesting and
pleasant shopping environment characterized by attractive buildings abutting public streets and
new malls, courtyards, plazas or squares providing links between adjacent development and to
development in the adjacent Business Policy Area 1.
Movement and Parking
4
Major vehicular access to car parking or service areas should be minimised from Acraman Street
and the western portions of Crozier Road and Seaview Road.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

Victor Harbor (City)
Safe and convenient pedestrian connections should be developed linking the Victor Harbor
Shopping Centre to Ocean Street.
Appearance of Land and Buildings
6
Development abutting residential uses should respect the amenity of such uses through careful
attention to building set-backs from boundaries, building height and design and the location of
balconies and windows.
7
Development fronting Acraman Street, Crozier Road and Seaview Road should be sensitive to
development in the adjacent Residential Zone through the use of landscaped buffer strips,
building design, articulation and setbacks.
8
Buildings abutting pedestrian spaces should incorporate suitable verandahs and balconies where
appropriate to provide shelter for pedestrians.
9
The height of buildings should not exceed 2 storeys (10.5 metres) above existing natural ground
level generally in the Policy Area other than within 10 metres of a different zone boundary where
by development should not exceed 2 storeys (8 metres) above existing natural ground level.
Historic (Conservation) Policy Area 17
Introduction
The Objectives and Principles of Development Control that follow apply to that part of the Regional
Town Centre Zone shown on Maps ViH/16, ViH/22, ViH/25 and ViH/33. They are additional to those
expressed for the whole of the Victor Harbor council area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
An area for community and recreation services and tourist accommodation, and
the use and display of historical transportation facilities.
Objective 2:
An area of great interest and amenity created by the interaction of complementary
community and tourist activities, including specialty shops in new and
rehabilitated historical buildings and landscaped public areas and courtyards.
Objective 3:
A pedestrian dominated area with vehicular access and car parking provided in a
manner that will not prejudice the operation of the historic railway and associated
buildings, or the amenity of pedestrian spaces.
Objective 4:
Cohesive, integrated development of high design standards which complements
existing heritage items, taking advantage of views to adjoining public reserves.
Objective 5:
Retention and conservation of historic buildings and elements that are an integral
part of the attractiveness of Victor Harbor and its historic role as a seaside holiday
destination.
HISTORIC STATEMENT
The Historic (Conservation) Policy Area 17 comprises the main historic core of Victor Harbor. Notable
within this zone are commercial premises in Ocean Street, the institutional buildings in Coral Street
and those supporting facilities associated with the terminus of the railway line along Railway Terrace.
Many buildings in this area survive from the 1870s to 1890s era, a period of early development in
Victor Harbor. Many buildings also survive from the 1920s to 1930s when Victor Harbor experienced a
boom period as a holiday destination. It is the buildings from these eras that contribute most to the
built form character of the area.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
137
Victor Harbor (City)
The intersections of Ocean Street and Coral Street, Coral Street and Flinders Parade and the
termination of the Railway Terrace at Warland Reserve are key elements of urban space within the
Policy Area.
Commercial properties provide the main built form within the precinct and are characteristically single
or two-storey buildings aligning with the street boundary. Typically buildings are symmetrical in design
with parapets, verandahs and balconies over the footpath to further define the pedestrian nature of the
precinct.
Many of the key buildings within the precinct are included on the State Heritage register or are Local
Heritage Places identified in Table ViH/3.
DESIRED CHARACTER
The Historic (Conservation) Policy Area will be protected and enhanced as the most intact and
cohesive heritage precinct within Victor Harbor. Consolidating the Railway Terrace and Coral Street
environs provides the Policy Area with a distinct character ranging from the majestic nineteenth
century commercial buildings to single storey cottages.
Conservation and enhancement of the existing heritage fabric and character of the Policy Area is
essential. Development is required to conserve and respect the scale, character, and place values of
the area and incorporate high standards of design, materials and landscape.
The area is to be established as a vibrant walking and shopping precinct comprising small-scale
shops, cafes, specialty shops and tourist attractions of a historic nature. New opportunities should be
explored to create pedestrian linkages to adjacent Policy Areas and the foreshore to improve the
precinct's vibrancy, integration and connection with the rest of the Regional Town Centre.
New development will provide a transition in scale to adjacent heritage structures and shall
incorporate material choices, proportioning systems and building articulation to ensure a compatible
juxtaposition of new and old.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form of Development
1
Development in the area should be, primarily, a range of community and recreation activities,
tourist services, small scale specialty shops, accommodation and historical transportation
facilities.
2
Development should be coordinated and staged to ensure that cohesive townscapes are created
along the frontages to Railway Terrace, Coral Street and Flinders Parade, and that development
is integrated with pedestrian spaces and car parking areas.
3
Buildings of heritage significance should be rejuvenated for community, tourism, specialty retail
and historical transportation activities associated with the historic railway.
4
Tourist accommodation may take the form of holiday apartments or units, developed at medium
densities in buildings of a low scale.
Movement and Parking
5
Development should be located and designed so that integrated parking facilities and access
points can be shared wherever reasonably possible.
6
The provision of numerous small parking areas and separate vehicular access points should be
avoided.
7
Major vehicular access to development should be from Flinders Parade.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

Victor Harbor (City)
Development should provide a high degree of pedestrian access and permeability within the area
and to the adjoining business, foreshore and reserve areas through the provision of appropriate
malls, plazas, courtyards and arcades.
Conservation
9
Historic buildings should be revitalised and rejuvenated to promote the area's historic value and
create a sense of vibrancy and vitality.
10
The large Moreton Bay fig trees within Railway Terrace should be conserved and sensitively
incorporated in any new development.
Appearance of Land and Buildings
11
Development should respect the robust and dignified forms and facades of buildings of heritage
significance.
12

ground level.
Visitor Facilities Policy Area 18
Introduction
The Objectives and Principles of Development Control that follow apply to that part of the Regional
Town Centre Zone shown on Maps ViH/16, ViH/21, ViH/22 and ViH/33. They are additional to those
expressed for the whole of the Victor Harbor council area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:

restaurants, tourist based retail, community facilities and tourist accommodation.
Objective 2:
An area where development exhibits very high standards of design and finishes
appropriate to prominent frontages to the Regional Town Centre Zone's most
important boulevards, public spaces, and exposure to the foreshore, Encounter
Bay and Granite Island.
Objective 3:
An area where car parking facilities and service areas do not intrude on to major
street frontages to the detriment of the area's character and amenity.
DESIRED CHARACTER
The Tourist Activities Policy Area shall be developed as the main focus for visitor accommodation,
hospitality services, cafes and restaurants, tourist based retail and holiday apartments. Development
will reinforce the role and image of the policy area as the focus for visitor activity and a key destination
in the Regional Town Centre Zone.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

Victor Harbor (City)
Medium to high-density residential mixed-use developments are encouraged that create nonresidential active commercial ground floor street frontages and land uses and visitor accommodation
or residential development at upper levels. There are opportunities for high quality development to set
new standards for the zone, however, development should respect and complement the scale and
character of existing heritage buildings and adjoining precincts.
Conservation and enhancement of the existing heritage fabric and character of Ocean Street is
paramount. New development is required to respect the scale and character of heritage structures by
providing a transition in scale to adjacent heritage structures and shall incorporate material choices,
proportioning systems and building articulation to ensure a compatible juxtaposition of new and old.
An enhanced pedestrian environment is a primary objective for the policy area and will be achieved
through improved pedestrian linkages, streetscape upgrades and active building frontages for new
development.
The consolidation and redevelopment of landmark development site 'D' on the corner of Crozier Road
and Ocean Street will create the opportunity to establish a new pedestrian arcade linking new parking
facilities in Stuart Street to Warland Reserve.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL

Burke Street (Historic Character) Policy Area 19
Introduction
The Objectives and Principles of Development Control that follow apply to that part of the Regional
Town Centre Zone shown on Maps ViH/16, ViH/21, ViH/22, ViH/32 and ViH/33. They are additional to
those expressed for the whole of the Victor Harbor council area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
Development that promotes, conserves and enhances the cultural significance
and historic character of identified places within the Policy Area.
Objective 2:
The retention and conservation of places such as land, buildings, structures and
landscape elements that contribute positively to the historic character of the
Policy Area.
Objective 3:
Development should comprise primarily single storey dwellings and small scale
offices and consulting rooms.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
147
Victor Harbor (City)
CHARACTER STATEMENT
The area comprises mainly residential properties or dwellings with some converted to commercial use
such as offices or consulting rooms. Dwellings are varied, reflecting the slow method of sale of the
land parcels with construction ranging from the later 19th Century to after WWI, however all dwellings
within the area are single storey and small to medium scale, have a cohesive character and are
largely intact in their built form.
The landscape verges complement the vegetated private front and side gardens achieved by a variety
of building setbacks. Fences are typically low to medium height varying from 0.6 to 1.2 metres,
allowing visibility of the houses and gardens from the street.
On site parking is generally in the form of a freestanding garage or carport, set back behind the house
or at least 4 metres behind the house façade. Driveways and crossovers are uniformly of single width.
The policy area also contains St Augustine Church, a State Heritage Place, and St Augustine Church
Hall, a Local Heritage Place. The location of the local and State Heritage places which individually
contribute to and collectively create the identity of the area’s historic character, are identified in Figure
R/5.
DESIRED CHARACTER
The location of the area represents an opportunity for existing dwellings to be converted to small scale
commercial uses such as offices and consulting rooms, whilst ensuring the historic character of the
existing buildings is conserved.
Development should be residential in appearance complementing the uniform single storey detached
dwellings and designed to enhance the character of buildings identified in Figure R/5. Retention of all
buildings of heritage and character value identified in Figure R/5 and Table ViH/3 is desired.
Retention of the original street layout including rear access lanes with local roads enhanced by
landscaped verges is necessary to preserve the character of the area. The implementation of traffic
calming devices in Burke Street should not diminish the character of the original street network. Open
style construction front boundary fencing and low fencing (1.2metres or less) is desired to maintain the
view of heritage buildings from public roads. Side fencing between front property boundaries and the
building alignment should be the same construction as the front fence.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form of Development
1
Development should take the appearance of single storey detached dwellings which complement
and reinforce the historic character of existing dwellings on large allotments.
2
Land uses within the policy area are limited to dwellings, offices or consulting rooms or bed and
breakfast type accommodation.
Conservation
3
Land, buildings and structures that contribute to the historic character of the area should be
retained and conserved.
4
Development should:
(a) restore and rehabilitate existing places of historic value;
(b) incorporate compact extensions to buildings of a scale, bulk and external appearance
that is sympathetic and compatible with the historic character of the places; and
(c) conserve, enhance and reinforce the historic significance of buildings and streetscapes.

FORESHORE ZONE
Introduction
The objectives, proposals and principles of development control that follow apply in the Foreshore
Zone as shown on Maps ViH/17, 18 and 21 to 24. They are additional to those expressed for the
whole of the Victor Harbor council area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A zone containing parks, gardens and natural beach for the enjoyment and
recreation of local residents and visitors to Victor Harbor.
Objective 2:
Conservation of the coast between Rosetta Head and Kent Reserve in its natural
state to provide for scientific investigations related to the marine environment and
an area of scenic amenity.
Objective 3:
Enhancement of the appearance and amenity of Warland Reserve and its
immediate environs through landscaping and other development as a major focus
of visitor activities.
Objective 4:
Removal of unnecessary buildings, structures, car parking areas and vehicular
access routes from the zone.
Warland Reserve is of State significance as it is one of the most heavily used areas of foreshore and
public reserve in South Australia. It is a focal point of community activities, provides for informal
recreational uses and forms the entrance to Granite Island.
Development should provide for the continued use of the reserve and adjacent foreshore by the local
community and visitors to the town. Buildings should be well designed and sensitively sited and be
complementary to the environment.
PROPOSALS
(a) Council proposes to establish a fountain on Warland Reserve which will be surrounded by a
substantial garden. Additional tree planting will be undertaken to provide shade and to create an
avenue effect linking the pathway across the reserve from its north-western end to the causeway.
(b) Council proposes to establish a new restaurant/kiosk facility to aim at the tourism market
segment currently not catered for in the vicinity of the town centre.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form of Development
1
Development should be primarily for passive recreation purposes associated with the enjoyment
of the coast, conservation or protection measures, or enhancement to the natural beauty and
amenity of the coast.
2
Development of active and the organized recreational activities should not restrict public access
to the foreshore nor adversely impact on the character and amenity of the coast. Any such
development should be grouped and/or located in the areas where minimal disruption to passive
recreation uses and nearby residential development will occur.
3
Development should not have a detrimental impact on areas of scientific, landscape, or
environmental importance.
Movement and Parking
4
Development should be designed and sited to ensure pedestrian access to and within the zone is

particularly those of heritage significance.
13
Development should have a character to be unobtrusive and to blend with the surrounds and
should be suitably screened by landscaping.
14
Development shall not occur on sand dunes nor close to soft erodable coastal cliffs.
15
Development should only be undertaken where:
(a) The building site is at least 0.3 metres above the 100 year average return interval
extreme water level (tide or stormwater combined) and associated wave affects plus an
allowance for any land subsidence to the year 2050.
(b) The building floor level is at least 0.25 metres above the minimum site level set out in
(a) above.
(c) There are practical measures available to protect the development to withstand a
further 0.7 metres sea level rise.

RESIDENTIAL ZONE
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply in the Residential Zone shown
on Maps ViH/13, 14, 15 to 18 and 20 to 24. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of
the Council area and in cases of apparent conflict, take precedence over the more general provisions.
The Residential Zone is divided into 14 policy areas. Each policy area has been defined according to
the desired future character of the area, and the unique features which differentiate one area from
another. The policy areas are shown on Maps ViH/25 to 34.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
Safe, pleasant, convenient and distinctive living environments for all residents
provided by housing together with educational, community and recreational
facilities of a nature and scale compatible with the amenity of the residential area.
Objective 2:
A zone primarily accommodating a range of dwelling types at low to medium
densities not exceeding two storeys in height above natural ground level.
Objective 3:
The establishment of higher density residential accommodation in areas in close
proximity to:
(a) the District Centre Zone; or
(b) areas of public open space;
and in a manner consistent with the desired future character of the zone and each policy area.
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
General
Throughout the city there are variations in the character, appearance and density of residential areas.
These variations have resulted from a combination of factors including:
(a) different time periods of settlement and building work;
(b) different land form and environmental characteristics; and
(c) the distinction between the holiday home and permanent resident settlement areas.
In recent years many people have been retiring to the coast and many city dwellers have bought a
holiday home by the sea. More and more people are choosing the healthy environment and
opportunities for leisure, which the South Coast and Victor Harbor provides.
The topography of the zone ranges from gently undulating to quite steep, in some areas affording
outstanding views to the Southern Ocean and Encounter Bay. Dwellings located in the most elevated
areas have established views to outstanding coastal features.
The Residential Zone should provide for a wide range of residential accommodation. New
developments should achieve, maintain, reinforce and enhance the desired future character of each
policy area. Development throughout the whole of the zone should comprise a range of dwelling types
resulting in an overall increase in residential densities, making more efficient use of existing
infrastructure and underutilised land.
Provision is made for special needs housing including dependent relative accommodation and aged
persons’ accommodation (nursing homes, hostels, and retirement complexes and villages) to be
developed within the residential zone. However, guidelines are provided to assist designers to
determine the form and impact of these developments and ensure that they are located and designed
appropriately.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

Victor Harbor (City)
Development of the coast can have a negative impact on landscape values, particularly through the
uncontrolled sprawl of the township and the inappropriate siting of buildings and structures upon
ridgelines. New development within the existing residential zone (for example infill and
redevelopment) is preferred and will avoid or minimise adverse impacts on coastal resources and their
values.
It is desired that development occurs in ways that promote the sustainability of the community by
encouraging social diversity, the independence of individuals, and ensuring access to basic services.
Established Coastal Areas
The topography along the coast varies considerably and the attributes of good coastal proximity
should be capitalised on in terms of orientation and views, where available.
It is desired that random infill redevelopment occur progressively over an extended period of time, of
greater density, of generally one or two storeys, but designed sympathetically and sensitively to the
localised environment. Where land is sloped, stepped or terraced development would be appropriate
to complement the natural landform.
Established Plains Areas
The established central township residential areas, between the hills and the coastal frontage, are
likely to remain much as they are for the medium term given the general good quality and condition of
the housing stock in these areas. However, some limited opportunities exist for sensitive infill
development. In these areas the existing character should generally be reinforced. The establishment
of high quality landscaping and street plantings is encouraged to enhance these established areas
and create an even more attractive residential environment. In due course it may become viable for
some existing dwellings to be redeveloped. Where this occurs, greater efficiency and consolidation of
residential development is desired, provided environmental qualities for residential use are adequately
maintained.
Broad-acre Areas
Given the flexibility available to design and layout, it is desired that environmentally sensitive,
innovative and efficient dwelling design be undertaken. A mix of height, form, appearance, dwelling
type, lot sizes and tenure is appropriate. Areas of distinct character and localised residential
environments can be created with substantial revegetation often necessary. A mix of household types
and socio-economic structure should be accommodated.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form and Density of Residential Development
1
Residential development should comprise a range of housing types and styles as depicted in the
following explanatory diagrams to meet the diverse needs of the population.
Explanatory Diagrams
2
Large individual housing developments comprising more than 30 dwellings should contain a mix
of housing types and sizes, and be designed to reduce the apparent scale of the development.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

Victor Harbor (City)
3
Accommodation for the aged and disabled may merit special consideration for development at
higher density than prescribed within the relevant policy area. This will be subject to compliance
with the relevant Performance Criteria for Residential Accommodation for the Aged and People
with Disabilities.
4
Buildings of heritage and/or townscape significance should be conserved and development
nearby should be sympathetic in respect of its scale, design, and use of building materials and
colours.
5
Dwellings should not be greater than two storeys and 9.0 metres in height as measured from
existing natural ground level to the highest point of the building, including any earth fill, except
where a greater height is specifically contemplated within a particular policy area.
6
Dwellings and outbuildings located in elevated or undulating areas should be designed and sited
so not to be obtrusive or detract from the desired future character of the policy area. In these
elevated or undulating areas:
(a) the profile of buildings should be low and the roof lines should complement the natural
form of the land;
(b) the mass of buildings should be minimised by variations in wall and roof lines and by
floor plans which complement the contours of the land; and
(c) large eaves, verandahs and pergolas should be incorporated into designs so as to
create shadowed areas which reduce the bulky appearance of buildings.
7
When dwellings are designed to take advantage of distant views, reasonable measures should
be taken to minimise the direct view and overlooking into abutting residential properties. Direct
views to habitable room windows and useable private open space areas should be minimised by
incorporating design features such as external screens, return walls and landscaping where
necessary, together with careful siting and design of living room windows, balconies and access
doors.
8
Landscaping should be established to soften the appearance and provide some screening of new
development, in particular scree slopes created as a result of the excavation or filling of land.
9
Residential or urban areas abutting a Primary Industry area should provide a buffer along the
boundary. The design of the buffer should take account of the following:
(a) the nature of the impact (for example, chemical sprays, noise, odour);
(b) frequency of events which give rise to the impact;
(c) the source of the impact (for example, type of spray equipment, fixed or moving noise);
(d) prevailing winds in the locality;
(e) topography of the area;
(f)
existing vegetation; and
(g) presence (or not) of potentially sensitive adjacent areas or buildings which may be
impacted.
10
Tourist accommodation in the form of small scale bed and breakfast activities are appropriate
throughout the whole of the Residential Zone, subject to the provision of adequate on-site car
parking.

Non-Residential Development
11
Non-residential development of a local community nature such as small shops under 250 square
metres, health and welfare services, childcare facilities, educational facilities, churches,
recreational facilities and open space may be developed within the zone provided that they are of
a nature and scale that serves a local area function and do not unreasonably affect the character
and amenity of the locality by way of emissions, traffic generation or any other unreasonable
impact.
12
The scale, bulk and design of non-residential development should be sensitive to the desired
future character of the surrounding residential environment.
13
Landscaping of non-residential development should be of a high standard and should be used,
where practicable, to provide continuity with residential streetscape.
Coastal Development
14
Development within coastal areas should conform with the following design criteria:
(a) buildings should be sited, designed, constructed and maintained to protect views from
public vantage points such as headlands, ridgelines, scenic routes and pathways, and
public recreation areas;
(b) development should reflect or respond to landscape character and patterns, with
sympathetic integration and retention of landscape values to limit visual impact,
particularly as seen from major vantage points;
(c) significant vantage points should be buffered and screened so that it is not intrusive in
the landscape and does not block attractive views;
(d) landscape modification should be restricted to below ridgelines and elevations with
general visibility and limited relief;
(e) development should complement natural topography and involve minimal earthworks
and vegetation removal;
(f)
the colour of buildings and associated structures should, where necessary, blend in
with dominant surrounding natural vegetation and topography; and
(g) the building height, scale and character of Victor Harbor should be maintained, where
compatible with landscape values, so they do not visually intrude on or dominate the
outlook from the shoreline or vantage points.

Driveways should provide safe and convenient access to and from the site, and be located so as
to create a low impact on adjoining residential properties. In particular, driveway access to any
building should have a maximum gradient of 1-in-5. A driveway with a gradient exceeding 1-in-5
should be considered only if designed by a chartered professional engineer.
Hammer-Head Allotments
16
Hammer-head shaped allotments may be appropriate in policy areas 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10 if
designed to provide:
(a) access to the public road with a minimum width of five metres for the whole of the
length of the hammer-head handle if serving one or two dwellings;
(b) access to the public road and a minimum width of six metres for the whole of the length
of the hammer-head handle if serving more than two dwellings; and
(c) areas of landscaping along the length of the hammer-head handle.

Residential (Encounter Bay) Policy Area 1
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Residential (Encounter
Bay) Policy Area 1 shown on Maps ViH/27, 31 and 32. They are additional to those expressed for the
whole of the Residential Zone and the Council-wide area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A policy area accommodating detached dwellings on individual allotments up to
two storeys in height above natural ground level.
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
Density
The topography of the Residential (Encounter Bay) Policy Area 1 varies to gently undulating to quite
steep in parts. The topography rises steadily up from Encounter Bay to Waitpinga Road and Three
Gullies Road to the north. A large proportion of the policy area is visible from other parts of the
township and therefore forms a significant backdrop to Victor Harbor itself.
A significant proportion of the allotments to the west of Battye Road remain vacant at January 2003,
with the take up rates for residential development in this area slower than anticipated. However, given
its location adjacent to the established built up area of Victor Harbor, and the spectacular coastal
views which can be obtained, this area remains well suited for residential development.
Existing residential development comprises a predominance of one and two storey detached
dwellings, on allotments generally in excess of 700 square metres in area. Most dwellings have been
designed and sited in order to obtain views to Encounter Bay and other coastal features such as The
Bluff.
Development in the Residential (Encounter Bay) Policy Area should comprise primarily detached
dwellings on large allotments. This is a consequence of:
(a) the slope of the land, much of which is too steep to readily accommodate compact housing
forms; and
(b) the preference to concentrate medium density housing adjacent to services and facilities
provided within the town centre.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
165
Victor Harbor (City)
Two large sections of broadacre land, which are suitable for residential development, are located at
the northern end of the policy area, adjacent to Waitpinga Road. The division of this land for
residential purposes should create allotments of a similar area and configuration to that already
established in the zone.
Form and Appearance
Many existing dwellings have resulted in extensive earthworks, in part due to the topography of the
site, but also due to the scale and design of the dwellings, which do not complement the natural slope
of the land. As a consequence many dwellings dominate the skyline.
Notwithstanding this existing character, it is considered that future dwellings should minimise
earthworks and only be undertaken in order to minimise the visual intrusion of the building.
The mass and vertical profile of buildings should be minimised by undertaking earthworks on
excavated rather than filled sites, variations in wall and roof lines and by floor plans which complement
the contours of the land.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form of Development
1
The density, form and appearance of residential development should be consistent with the
desired future character of the policy area.
2
Development undertaken in the Residential (Encounter Bay) Policy Area 1 should consist of one
and two storey detached dwellings on individual allotments at low densities.
3
Semi-detached dwellings, row dwellings, group dwellings and residential flat buildings should not
be established.
4
Roads and allotments should be designed so that:
(a) dwellings can be located to gain maximum advantage of views into the valleys and
Encounter Bay;
(b) the need for excavation and landfill during development is minimised, by the majority of
the road length following the contour and the longer dimension of allotments being
perpendicular to the contours; and
(c) there is no requirement for direct access to or from Inman Valley Road.
5
Dwellings and outbuildings should be designed and sited to relate to the slope of the land, so
that:
(a) the bulk and scale of buildings do not dominate the landscape;
(b) the amount of cutting and filing of the natural ground profile is minimised; and
(c) the need for retaining walls is avoided, or if retaining walls are necessary their height is
minimised.
6
Retaining walls, batter slopes and excavated faces over 1.0 metre in height and located between
a building and a road frontage, should be stepped in increments of not more than 1.0 metre and
constructed to allow the establishment of landscaping above and to the side.
7
Development of more than one storey in height should take account of the following factors:
(a) the height and bulk of the proposed building relative to adjoining dwellings;
(b) the design of the building being stepped in accordance with the slope of the land; and
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
166
Victor Harbor (City)
(c) the form of the building being articulated to break down its apparent bulk.
8
Development east of Inman Valley Road and west of Bacchus Road should be in accordance
with Figure R/1 to create an open rural setting entering into the Victor Harbor township.
Allotments located wholly or partly above the 22 metre AHD level should not be further divided.
9
Finished floor levels and buildings in the policy area south west of Inman Valley Road and north
west of Mill Road should not be erected where the finished floor level is higher than the
44.5 metre AHD contour to retain the open hills face character of the backdrop to Victor Harbor.
10
Allotments 1 to 6 in DP 56921 shown on Figure R/2 shall not be further divided unless part of an
integrated development scheme promoting shared public vehicle access.
11
Allotments and dwellings should conform with the following minimum site areas and dimensions:
Dwelling Type
Minimum Site Area (m2)
Minimum Frontage (m)
560

Detached Dwellings
Residential (Waitpinga) Policy Area 2
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Residential (Waitpinga)
Policy Area 2 shown on Maps ViH/31 and 34. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of
the Residential Zone and the Council-wide area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A policy area accommodating detached dwellings up to two storeys high,
designed in a manner that complements and enhances the character and amenity
of the hills living environment.
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
Density
The Residential (Waitpinga) Policy Area 2 comprises two specific sections of broad acre land within
the Residential Zone, which whilst suitable for residential purposes, have a relatively steep
topography.
As a function of this, allotments within the Residential (Waitpinga) Policy Area 2 should have a
minimum site area of 1500 square metres to enable the siting of a dwelling and associated structures
in a manner which minimises the visual impact and dominance of buildings, structures and
earthworks, particularly when viewed from neighbouring properties and roads within the policy area.
Form and Appearance
Considerable attention should be given to the impact of any subsequent development on the privacy
and amenity of existing properties, and the appearance of the development if it is in a highly visible
and prominent location. Development should also preserve and reinforce the environmental qualities
of the area by avoiding interference with natural drainage lines and creeks, remnant vegetation, and
minimising alteration to the natural ground levels.

Residential (Bay Road) Policy Area 3
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Residential (Bay Road)
Policy Area 3 shown on Maps ViH/31 and 32. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of
the Residential Zone and the Council-wide area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A policy area accommodating a range of dwellings up to two storeys high,
including detached and semi-detached dwellings, row dwellings, group dwellings
and residential flat buildings.
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
Density
The Residential (Bay Road) Policy Area 3 comprises gently undulating land located generally between
the Encounter Lakes Area to the south-east and Mill Road to the north-west.
The balance of the policy area contains a significant area of vacant and underutilised land. The area is
generally considered to be well suited for a range of medium density housing, particularly as:
(a) the majority of land is relatively flat compared to other green field areas within the City of
Victor Harbor; and
(b) medium density housing would be consistent with the existing character and demographic
profile of residents in the area.
Form and Appearance
Future development should continue to promote a diversity of housing styles and forms, including
group dwellings, cluster housing and aged persons accommodation.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form of Development
1
The density, form and appearance of residential development should be consistent with the

Residential (Yilki) Policy Area 4
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Residential (Yilki) Policy
Area 4 shown on Maps ViH/31, 32 and 34. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of the
Residential Zone and the Council-wide area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A policy area accommodating a range of dwelling types up to two storeys high,
providing further diversity to the existing housing stock in terms of style, form and
density.
Objective 2:
The redevelopment of housing which is in poor condition or of low capital value
compared with the land on which it is located, to achieve an increase in the
residential population and improve the design and appearance of residential
development in the area.
Objective 3:
The visual appearance of residential streets progressively improved through well
designed new dwellings, substantial front garden landscaping and street tree
planting.
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
Density
The Residential (Yilki) Policy Area 4 covers a specific area within the Residential Zone which contains
a high concentration of original holiday homes which have been identified as suitable for small and
large-scale redevelopment at a range of densities. This area has been selected as suitable to
accommodate higher density forms of housing developments, including group dwellings and
residential flat buildings for the following reasons:
(a) the condition of existing housing stock is such that it is desirable and potentially economical
for redevelopment to occur; and/or
(b) the potential availability of amalgamated sites to accommodate integrated multi-dwelling
developments; and
(c) the immediate proximity of this area relative to the Encounter Bay foreshore, and the open
space/recreational opportunities this area provides.
Form and Appearance
Amalgamation of adjoining sites or several sites should be encouraged to enable appropriately
designed low to medium density redevelopment that relates harmoniously to the streetscape. Through
retention of existing housing stock in good condition, and the redevelopment of other properties, the
overall character of the area should gradually improve to provide a range of dwellings that will meet a
variety of accommodation needs. Development should be of a high standard of design so as to ensure
that any increase in site densities does not result in a deterioration in amenity or streetscape character.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form of Development

Objective 1:
A pleasant lakeside residential area characterised by high quality waterfront
housing and landscaped public reserves.
Objective 2:
Residential development comprising primarily detached dwellings and a range of
other dwelling types at low to medium densities and not exceeding two storeys.
Objective 3:
The use and maintenance of the lake to be compatible with the residential
amenity of the locality.
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
Density
The Residential (Lakeside) Policy Area 5 contains the Encounter Lakes Estate. Many dwellings within
this estate have frontage to man made watercourse. The policy area also contains two extensive
sections of broadacre land, which is suitable for further division and development for residential
purposes.
Form and Appearance
Development should maintain and further contribute to the establishment of a pleasant lakeside
residential development consistent with the form and appearance of dwellings already established in
the policy area.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form of Development
1
The density, form and appearance of residential development should be consistent with the
desired future character of the policy area.
2
Development should be, primarily, detached dwellings on allotments not less than 390 square
metres in area and a range of other dwelling forms at low to medium densities in appropriate
locations.

Appearance of Land and Buildings
8
Dwellings on allotments having a lake frontage should be designed and sited to establish an
attractive appearance to the lake and adjoining public roads and land.
9
Buildings should be designed and sited to provide adequate and varied spaces between
buildings on adjoining allotments and varied setbacks from road and lakeside boundaries so as to
avoid the creation of congested and monotonous built form.
10
Prefabricated and other buildings generally designed for use as a garage, shed or outbuilding
should not be adapted for use as a dwelling.
11
Highly reflective material, or materials having a dilapidated appearance, should not be used
externally for any dwelling, or for the construction of any outbuilding.
12
Outbuildings such as sheds, garages and the like associated with dwellings should be sited so
they are not prominently visible, or detract visually from the amenity of neighbouring allotments
and public places, and are designed and constructed such that they blend with the form and bulk
of the dwelling.
13
Finished floor levels of residential development should be set at or above 2.3 metres (Australian
Height Datum).
14
All stormwater run-off from buildings and from land which is further than 8.0 metres from the
boundary of the lake should be collected and discharged from the property via underground pipes
to the street watertable.
15
Structures should not damage or impair the stability of the rock revetment around the lake.
Setbacks
16
Dwellings and outbuildings should comply with the following minimum setback requirements:
(a) where an allotment adjoins one public road – 5.0 metres from the boundary of the road;
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
176
Victor Harbor (City)
(b) where an allotment adjoins two or more public roads – 5.0 metres from the shortest
road boundary and 3.0 metres from other road boundaries;
(c) from the boundary of the lake – 8.0 metres; and
(d) 5.5 metres for garages and carports from the closest point of access serving the garage
or carport.
Pontoons, Jetties and Landings
17
Not more than one pontoon, jetty, landing or other similar structures should be constructed in the
lake for each residential development site.
18
Pontoons, jetties, landings or other similar structures constructed in the lake should:
(a) maintain the safe use and enjoyment of the lake for recreational purposes;
(b) project no more than 5.0 metres into the lake as measured horizontally from the lake
boundary, and should have a maximum size of 2.5 metres x 4.5 metres with the longer
side being orientated parallel to the lake boundary;
(c) be constructed of durable low maintenance materials appropriate to a water
environment; and
(d) be simple and attractive structures.
Conservation
19
Development should not be detrimental to the quality of the water in the lake.
Residential Policy Area 6
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply in the Residential Policy Area 6
shown on Maps ViH/29 and 32 to 35. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of the
Residential Zone and the Council-wide area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A policy area accommodating detached, semi-detached, group dwellings, row
dwellings and residential flat buildings up to three storeys high, together with
tourist accommodation of a scale and nature consistent with the desired future
character of the policy area.
Objective 2:
Encouragement of cohesive development reflecting a seaside village character
with attractive buildings carefully related to each other to take advantage of views
across Encounter Bay.
Objective 3:
Residential development which establishes a character typified by high quality
building design and landscaping, and in a manner which minimises adverse
impacts on the amenity of adjacent residential properties.
Objective 4:
Creation of attractive streetscapes by the design and architecture of dwellings
incorporating themes, materials, and colours which reinforce the urban coastal
character.
Objective 5:
Preservation of the amenity and recreation value of the coastline.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
177
Victor Harbor (City)
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
Density
The Residential Policy Area 6 contains that portion of the Residential Zone adjacent to the coast. It
includes areas abutting or immediately adjacent to Franklin Parade, the Esplanade and Bridge
Terrace.
The pleasant environment and recreational opportunities afforded by a coastal setting ensure the
popularity of this location for residential development. At the same time, the coastline is an important
recreational resource for the general community as well as for residents in beach-side areas.
As such the purpose of this zone is to allow for a greater number of residents to take advantage of the
pleasant residential environment afforded by Encounter Bay, while maintaining the recreation value of
the location for the enjoyment of the wider community. To achieve this a greater number of dwellings
than exists is anticipated and dwellings are expected to be in the form of residential flat buildings or
apartments, row dwellings and other forms of multiple dwellings.
Form and Appearance
Many existing properties located adjacent to the foreshore enjoy wide sweeping views of coastal
features, including Encounter Bay. Inevitably, as the popularity of the coastal residential environment
increases, so to will the pressure to redevelop existing residential properties.
In many circumstances development which complies with the relevant height and setback
requirements of the Development Plan will result in the loss of some views, particularly those gained
over adjoining land. Whilst it is desirable that any loss of views is minimised, there can be no
expectation that all existing views will be retained as future development is undertaken in the policy
area.
In the coastal foreshore area, development can contribute positively to the character of an area if it
results in a relatively consistent but interesting built form, without detracting from the natural coastal
environment.
The Residential Policy Area 6 should continue to develop as an attractive residential area providing a
range of dwelling types for both permanent and short-term accommodation. The present disparate
character of the townscape should be transformed by a more substantial and cohesive built form.
Dwellings should be designed to maintain direct frontage and address Franklin Parade, The
Esplanade and Bridge Terrace, where frontage exists to these public roads.
Whilst a variety of housing forms including one, two and three storey dwellings are considered
appropriate, future development should avoid the creation of continuous facades fronting Franklin
Parade, The Esplanade and Bridge Terrace by ensuring articulation and interest in their design.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form of Development
1
The density, form and appearance of residential development should be consistent with the
Desired Future Character of the policy area.
2
Development in the Residential Policy Area 6 should be detached, semi-detached and row
dwellings, residential flat buildings, together with tourist accommodation of a scale and nature
compatible with the amenity of adjoining residential development and the Desired Future
Character for the policy area.

To ensure that development does not create a continuous built form along Franklin Parade, Kent
Drive, The Esplanade or Bridge Terrace, the elevation fronting the main public road of any
development exceeding one storey in height should not extend for a distance greater than
90 percent of the allotment frontage, and in any event should not create a continuous façade of
more than 15 metres in length.

Objective 2:
Victor Harbor (City)
Provision of compact forms of dwellings, including aged persons accommodation,
to take advantage of the ready accessibility of the land to township services within
the adjacent District Centre Zone.
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
Density
The Residential (Town Centre) Policy Area 8 covers a specific area within the Residential Zone which
have been identified as suitable for small and large-scale redevelopment at a range of densities. This
area has been selected as suitable to accommodate a range of dwelling and accommodation types for
the following reasons:
(a) its proximity to shopping and community facilities;
(b) the potential availability of large sites to accommodate integrated higher density housing
development;
(c) the existing mixed composition of dwelling types; and
(d) the relatively flat topography.
It is proposed that all forms of housing are appropriate within the zone, including aged persons
accommodation, which will benefit from the proximity to town services and facilities.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL

Residential (Mt Breckan) Policy Area 9
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Residential (Mt Breckan)
Policy Area 9 shown on Maps ViH/28, 29, 32 and 33. They are additional to those expressed for the
whole of the Residential Zone and the Council-wide area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A policy area accommodating detached dwellings up to two storeys high.
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
Density
The topography of the Residential (Mt Breckan) Policy Area 9 is gently undulating increasing in height
to the foothills to the north.
As a result the area has a relatively modern character with some very large homes built on generous
allotments usually in excess of 600 square metres. Considerably larger allotments occur in the steeper
portions of the area. Many houses are two-storey or split-level in design. Commanding views are
available from the most elevated sections of the area.
Many large new residences have been established in elevated positions, taking advantage of
expansive views of the harbour. Additional infill and redevelopment opportunities exist within the zone.
This infill should be limited to areas already serviced by sewer and water supplies, with new
allotments established for dwellings at a density of one dwelling per 420 square metres to maintain the
low density character of the area.
Form and Appearance
Where appropriate new sites may be created for dwellings. However, considerable attention should be
given to the impact of any subsequent development on the privacy and amenity of existing properties,
and the appearance of the development if it is in a highly visible and prominent location. New
development should also preserve and reinforce the environmental qualities of the area by avoiding
interference with remnant vegetation, and minimising alteration to the natural ground levels.
Due to the age and generally good condition of housing in the area and the steep topography in some
parts, the zone is generally not suited to any higher density form of residential development than that
already prevailing. Opportunities for dwellings with smaller site areas, which would add to the range of
housing choices in the policy area, may be appropriate on relatively flat sites where environmental and
amenity impacts are likely to be negligible.
The site area, design, siting and appearance of development should complement the natural contour
of the land so that any development has minimal visual impact.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form of Development
1
The density, form and appearance of residential development should be consistent with the
desired future character of the policy area.
2
Development undertaken should consist of detached dwellings on individual allotments at low
densities, up to two storeys in height.
3
Semi-detached dwellings, row dwellings, group dwellings and residential flat buildings should not
be established.

Siting and Design
5
Development should be designed and sited to relate to the slope of the land, so that:
(a) the bulk and scale of the buildings do not dominate the landscape;
(b) the amount of cutting and filling of the natural ground profile is minimised;
(c) wherever possible, existing vegetation is used to screen the building and excavation or
filling from view; and
(d) vistas obtained from adjoining dwellings and public open spaces are maintained
wherever reasonably possible.
6
Development of more than one storey in height should take account of the following factors:
(a) the height and bulk of the proposed building relative to adjoining dwellings;
(b) the design of the building being stepped in accordance with the slope of the land; and
(c) the form of the building being articulated to break down its apparent bulk.
Residential (Hindmarsh River) Policy Area 10
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Residential (Hindmarsh
River) Policy Area 10 shown on Map ViH/29. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of
the Residential Zone and the Council-wide area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A policy area accommodating detached and semi-detached dwellings, and group
dwellings up to two storeys high.
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
Density
The Residential (Hindmarsh River) Policy Area 10 covers a significant proportion of the Victor Harbor
area and is intended to retain the existing character of the area while allowing for limited residential
infill and redevelopment. The zone contains dwellings in a wide range of styles and ages, however its
character is established by the predominance of detached dwellings of single storey construction on
individual allotments. The majority of dwellings were constructed between the 1960s and 1980’s on
relatively large allotments. Setbacks are typically six metres from primary road frontages with lesser
setbacks to the secondary frontages of corner allotments. Dwellings are typically of masonry
construction with tiled roofs.
Form and Appearance
Additional minor infill and redevelopment opportunities exist within the zone. Such development
activity should predominantly involve the creation of hammer-head allotments, the development of the
rear of allotments having dual road frontages, the development of lane frontages and the development
of group dwellings at the rear of developed allotments. These types of infill development will allow the
most important element of the residential character of the area to be retained, that is, streetscapes of
predominantly detached dwellings, while allowing for an increase in the number and variety of
dwellings within the zone.

Residential (Hayborough) Policy Area 12
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Residential (Hayborough)
Policy Area 12 shown on Maps ViH/29 and 30. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of
the Residential Zone and the Council-wide area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:

storeys high.
Objective 2:
Development should be designed and sited so that the profiles of buildings
complement the slope of the land.
Objective 3:
Development to the south of Hindmarsh Road should maintain the attractiveness
and amenity of the outstanding views of the bay and islands.
Objective 4:
Development should be sited so as to minimise the disturbance to views as seen
when entering the Victor Harbor township.
Objective 5:
The outstanding views of the bay and Granite Island obtained when entering the
township from the Kleinig’s Hill roundabout should be enhanced and retained.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
184
Victor Harbor (City)
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
Density
The Residential (Hayborough) Policy Area 12 contains a growing proportion of dwellings which are
two storey or split-level in design, in order to take advantage of coastal views. Commanding views are
available from the most elevated sections of the area, and consequently those areas are also quite
visible from many viewing points on the coastal flats adjacent.
The pleasant environment and recreational opportunities afforded by a coastal setting ensure the
popularity of this location for residential development. At the same time, the coastline is an important
recreational resource for the general community as well as for residents in beach-side areas.
As such the purpose of this zone is to allow for a greater number of residents to take advantage of the
pleasant residential environment afforded by Encounter Bay, while maintaining the recreation value of
the location for the enjoyment of the wider community.
Form and Appearance
The outstanding views of Encounter Bay and Granite Island entering into the township from the
Kleinig’s Hill roundabout should be retained and enhanced when designing future development. The
emblematic entry into the township represents a classic seaside panorama of local and regional
significance. The views provide a stunning scenic entry into the township of Victor Harbor and has
significance beyond this policy area. The value and extent of this scenic vista should not be
diminished. Any further development that may occur on the southern side of Hindmarsh Road within
this policy area must be of low profile and have consideration and empathy in retaining the outlook
enjoyed by locals and visitors to the region.
New development should also be carefully designed in order to minimise the impact on the privacy
and amenity of existing properties, with the apparent bulk of new buildings minimised if they are in a
highly visible and prominent location.
While a variety of housing forms including one and two storey dwellings are considered appropriate in
this zone, future development should avoid the creation of continuous facades and should be built in
response to the slope of the land in order to minimise the volume of earthworks impacting on the
natural ground profile.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form of Development
1
The density, form and appearance of residential development should be consistent with the
desired future character of the policy area.
2
Development undertaken should be, primarily, one and two storey detached and semi-detached
dwellings on individual allotments at low densities.
3
Row dwellings, group dwellings and residential flat buildings should not be established.
4
Development should be designed and sited to relate to the slope of the land, so that:
(a) the bulk and scale of the buildings do not dominate the landscape;
(b) the amount of cutting and filling of the natural ground profile is minimised;
(c) wherever possible, existing vegetation is used to screen the building and excavation or

Residential (Hayborough North) Policy Area 13
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Residential (Hayborough
North) Policy Area 13 shown on Maps ViH/25, 26, 29 and 30. They are additional to those expressed
for the whole of the Residential Zone and the Council-wide area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A policy area accommodating detached and semi-detached dwellings up to two
storeys high.
Objective 2:
Residential development which establishes a character typified by high quality
landscaping and building design and in a manner which minimises adverse
impact on the amenity of adjacent residential properties.
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
Density
The Residential (Hayborough North) Policy Area 13 comprises gently undulating land which has been
gradually developed for residential purposes over the past 30 years. Accordingly, the area contains a
variety of dwelling designs and styles, ranging from modest holiday home accommodation to more
recently developed permanent accommodation.
The vacant broad acre land located at the north-western end of the policy area is generally low lying,
with a watercourse dissecting the land. Future land division and residential development of this land
should therefore include appropriate engineering investigations to ensure that the design takes into
account any flood risk.
Future residential development of the vacant broadacre land should create an attractive and highly
cohesive low to medium density residential character, consistent with that already established in other
parts of the policy area. The configuration of allotments and roads should be designed to allow
dwellings to be sited and oriented to take advantage of views to Encounter Bay and/or Brown Hill.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

Victor Harbor (City)
Form and Appearance
Both Waterport Road and Port Elliot Road are major road linkages between Victor Harbor and Port
Elliot/Goolwa. The division and future development of land should also create an attractive
streetscape along these frontages. Preferably dwellings should address these frontages, or
alternatively an extensive landscape buffer be created as a comprehensive land division scheme so
that development does not back onto these principal roads.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Form of Development
1
The density, form and appearance of residential development should be consistent with the
desired future character of the policy area.
2
Development undertaken in the Residential (Hayborough North) Policy Area 13 should consist of
detached and semi-detached dwellings on individual allotments at low to medium densities.
3
Development in that part of the Residential (Hayborough North) Policy Area 13 depicted in
Figure HN/1 and shown on Maps ViH/26 and 30 should be developed generally in accordance
with Concept Plan Figure HN/1.
4
Dwellings and associated development should not occur on land where the risk of flooding is
unacceptable having regard to personal and public safety, and to property damage and not be
within the 100-year average return interval flood plain.
5
Row dwellings, group dwellings and residential flat buildings should not be established.
6
Development should retain significant natural watercourses and integrate them into the land
division design to create a network of open space for drainage and aesthetic purposes.
7
Development should primarily comprise single and two-storey dwellings. Flat or gently sloping
land is appropriate for compact housing forms; however land containing significant trees, should
be developed in a more spacious manner to minimise the extent of excavation and the filling of
land and to avoid damage to significant trees.
8
Road intersections with Waterport Road and Ocean Road should provide efficient and safe
access from development within the policy area to surrounding roads and maintain the safe and
free flow of traffic.

Residential (Henderson Road) Policy Area 14
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Residential (Henderson
Road) Policy Area 14 shown on Map ViH/28. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of
the Residential Zone and the Council-wide area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A policy area accommodating detached dwellings up to two storeys in height.
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
Density
The Residential (Henderson Road) Policy Area 14 comprises gently undulating land, located to both
the east and west of Henderson Road. The land to the west contains the existing Sewage Treatment
Works owned by SA Water. The Sewage Treatment Works are to be relocated, with all plant and
equipment removed and the land then becoming surplus to SA Water requirements. This land adjoins
the cemetery to the north and the Victor Harbor Golf Course to the west.
The majority of allotments to the east of Henderson Road are either vacant, or contain single
dwellings. Most of these allotments have frontage to Canterbury Road.
The Residential (Henderson Road) Policy Area 14 contains generally low lying land, which is subject
to flooding. Future land division and residential development of this land should therefore include
appropriate engineering investigations to ensure that the design takes into account any flood risk and
appropriate methods of stormwater disposal.
Form and Appearance
Future residential development of the vacant broad acre land should create an attractive and highly
cohesive low density residential character, consistent with that already established in the adjacent
Inman River Policy Area. The configuration of allotments and roads should be designed to allow
dwellings to be sited and oriented to take advantage of views to the Victor Harbor Golf Course.

RESIDENTIAL PARK ZONE
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply in the Residential Park Zone
shown on Maps ViH/20 and 21. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of the Council
area and relevant district, and in cases of apparent conflict, take precedence over the more general
provisions.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A zone which primarily provides for affordable housing opportunities in a
landscaped village setting.
Objective 2:
A zone accommodating low to medium-scale accommodation predominantly in
the form of caravan and camping sites, cabins and transportable dwellings
surrounded by open landscaped areas.
Objective 3:
Development that contributes to the desired character of the zone.
DESIRED CHARACTER
A zone accommodating a range of affordable housing options, within a landscaped setting, that
promotes community interaction through its permeable layout, the orientation of buildings, range of
shared facilities and quality communal open space.
The zone accommodates a range of low to medium-scale, long-term and short-term accommodation,
including camping sites, caravans, relocatable dwellings and cabins.
Buildings, including dwellings, are designed and constructed to enable their relocation, are a
maximum of two storeys in height and generously set back from boundaries to allow for landscaped
edges of the park. A landscaped village environment will be created.
New development will be sympathetic to the scale, shape, materials and colours of existing adjoining
development and landscapes. Vegetation buffers and landscaping will be important in integrating the
residential park into the landscape and adjoining urban areas, providing screening from surrounding
land uses, as well as reducing visual and noise impacts and providing privacy for park users. The soft
landscaping should dominate over buildings and hard surfaces, with caravans only glimpsed in a leafy
environment. The park will be enhanced through the further planting of street trees to provide a more
leafy and attractive setting and to conceal the built form when viewed from the approaches to the park.
Pedestrian and vehicle linkages provide safe access to employment, shops, public transport facilities,
medical services, education facilities, child care and other community facilities. Circulation and
movement within the park should be pedestrian friendly and promote low speed vehicle movement.

RESIDENTIAL (HINDMARSH VALLEY) ZONE
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Residential (Hindmarsh
Valley) Zone shown on Map ViH/13 and ViH/17. They are additional to those Council Wide provisions
expressed for the whole of the council area and in places were there is an apparent conflict, take
precedence over the Council Wide provisions.
DESIRED CHARACTER
The Residential (Hindmarsh Valley) Zone will contain a mix of dwelling types, together with community
facilities that attract a broad demographic mix of residents, with emphasis on young people and
families. The Zone should include an activity centre of a scale to serve the neighbourhood and provide
a range of commercial and community facilities such as child care centres, consulting rooms,
educational establishments, offices, shops and aged persons accommodation.
The riverine environment along the Hindmarsh River will be protected and enhanced through effective
stormwater management, weed removal, revegetation and low impact, unstructured recreation
activities. Development should preserve the Hindmarsh River and its riverine environment.
Land division and associated development will occur in an orderly sequence associated with the
efficient provision of infrastructure and facilities relating to services such as stormwater management
and information technology and telecommunications. There will be a wide range of residential
densities and a mix of innovative dwelling types and styles available to cater for diversity in the
demographics of the community, with higher dwelling densities in areas close to commercial and
community facilities, as well as areas of public open space. A proportion of the total housing stock will
also be supported accommodation and affordable housing.
The urban form will have a high degree of:
(a) Permeability – physical accessibility, maximising connections with surrounding streets and
activities and making their role clear to potential users
(b) Legibility – the extent to which people can understand the layout and find their way,
including cues from the road network, open spaces, buildings and land uses
(c) Variety – a mix of complementary land use activities within close proximity to each other.
Buildings will be energy efficient while also responding to and reinforcing the positive aspects of the
local environment, such as dramatic views of surrounding hinterland and the vegetation along
ridgelines and the Hindmarsh River. Development will also provide for a safe, secure, crime resistant
environment where building design and land uses are integrated to facilitate community surveillance.
There will also be the provision of well designed accommodation for people with special needs.
There will be a network of linked parks, reserves and recreation areas that are accessible throughout
the zone and connect with the Hindmarsh River open space corridor. There will also be a wide range
of facilities for structured and unstructured recreational opportunities.
Stormwater management systems will be designed and located to maximise the quality of stormwater,
minimise pollutant transfer and erosion into receiving waters and protect downstream receiving waters
from flooding. Development will also maximise opportunities for re-use of stormwater and wastewater.
The amenity of the area will be enhanced with appropriate planting and other landscaping works,
using locally indigenous plant species as much as possible, with a focus on preserving and
complementing scattered individual specimens and groups of mature eucalyptus trees along ridge
lines and drainage lines. Verge treatments will be reflective of the older parts of Victor Harbor where
there is low front fencing, then a footpath (on at least one side of the road), street trees and the gutter,
clearly delineating the difference between the public and private realm, while also providing
surveillance and interaction between the two. There will also be substantial buffers between

Victor Harbor (City)
residential development and arterial roads to minimise the noise impact of traffic on residents and
provides sufficient space for potential road widening.
OBJECTIVE
Objective 1:
Development that achieves the Desired Character for the Residential (Hindmarsh
Valley) Zone and is undertaken in accordance with the City of Victor Harbor
Hindmarsh Valley Concept Plan Figure VH(HiV)/1.
Objective 2:
A predominantly low and medium density residential area that comprises a range
of dwelling types together with a neighbourhood activity centre that is located
within a walkable distance of most residents in accordance with Concept Plan
Figure VH(HiV)/1.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Pattern of Development / Land Division
1
The layout of land divisions should be based on a grid street pattern in order to:
(a) enhance the efficient movement of traffic and minimise trip lengths;
(b) improve the legibility and permeability of the area (minimising the number of dead-end
street/cul-de-sacs); and
(c) be reflective of a desirable ‘country town’ character;
while also responding to topographic variation in order to maximise views from within the public
realm and maximise solar orientation for residential allotments,
2
The street network should have a clear structure with physical distinction between each type of
street in terms of width and other design features appropriate to the primary function of the street
in the network, ensuring that the street network does not promote through traffic on lower order
streets.
3
Laneways and service roads should be used to provide access to parking where allotment widths
are narrow and there is medium density housing that fronts public open space and busy roads.
4
The street network should provide for potential bus routes along streets with a minimum road
pavement width of 12 metres that will give an acceptable level of accessibility to the bus service
for residents and visitors, and a reasonably direct route for bus operators without excessive
turning movements (not less than 90% of dwellings should be located within 400 metres safe
walking distance of a bus stop).
5
A single vehicle access point should be developed off the Adelaide/Victor Harbor Road,
approximately 300-550 metres from the intersection of Adelaide/Victor Harbor Road and Welch
Road as shown on the Hindmarsh Valley Concept Plan Figure VH(HiV)/1, in a form that does not
unreasonably impact upon the arterial road function of the Adelaide/Victor Harbor Road so that
efficient vehicle access is provided within the Residential (Hindmarsh Valley) Zone on the eastern
side of Hindmarsh River.
6
At least one vehicle access point should be developed linking the McCracken residential
development to this zone on the eastern side of the Hindmarsh River as shown on the Hindmarsh
Valley Concept Plan Figure VH(HiV)/1, ensuring that vehicle access between these connection
points and the Adelaide/Victor Harbor Road is controlled so that there is not a dramatic increase
in through traffic along Coromandel Drive.
7
A crossing of the Hindmarsh River for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians should be developed as
shown on the Hindmarsh Valley Concept Plan Figure VH(HiV)/1 to facilitate efficient movement
throughout the Zone.

Victor Harbor (City)
8
Direct vehicular access should not be provided to the Ring Road/Welch Road from within this
Zone so as to preserve and enhance the heavy vehicle/town-by-pass function of this road.
9
A buffer between residential allotments and arterial roads should be provided to preserve
sufficient land for any future duplication of such roads, as well as ensuring visual and acoustic
separation for nearby residential development.
10
A safe and convenient bicycle and pedestrian link should be developed between the Hindmarsh
River and the south-eastern corner of the zone, together with a connection to land on the eastern
side of the Adelaide/Victor Harbor Road adjacent to this corner of the zone.
11
The road network between Coromandel Drive and the Adelaide/Victor Harbor Road, and between
Waggon Road and the Adelaide Victor/Harbor Road, should be indirect so that this access point
primarily facilitates movement within the Residential (Hindmarsh Valley) Zone rather than a shortcut to and from the Adelaide/Victor Harbor Road.
12
The road network should include a road along the ridgeline close to the western boundary of
Policy Area 22 of the Residential (Hindmarsh Valley) Zone as indicated on the Hindmarsh Valley
Concept Plan Figure VH(HiV)/1, with large indigenous trees lining the road to form a dominant
visual element along this ridgeline.
13
Development should generally not occur within 50 metres of the centreline of the Hindmarsh
River.
Dwelling Densities and Affordable Housing
14
The Residential (Hindmarsh Valley) Zone should comprise a range of dwelling densities,
including a minimum of 15% affordable housing, located adjacent to areas of public open space,
main transport routes and Centre and Community land uses and/or Zones.
15
Affordable housing should be distributed throughout the Residential (Hindmarsh Valley) Zone to
avoid over concentration of similar types of housing in a particular area.
Form of Residential Development
16
Dwellings and outbuildings located in elevated or undulating areas should be designed and sited
so not to be obtrusive or detract from the desired character of the policy area. In these elevated
or undulating areas:
(a) the profile of buildings should be low and the roof lines should complement the natural
form of the land;
(b) the mass of buildings should be minimised by variations in wall and roof lines and by
floor plans which complement the contours of the land; and
(c) large eaves, verandahs and pergolas should be incorporated into designs so as to
create shadowed areas which reduce the bulky appearance of buildings.
17
The setback of buildings from public roads should:
(a) be complementary with the setbacks of buildings on adjoining land and other buildings
in the locality;
(b) contribute positively to the streetscape character of the locality; and
(c) not result in or contribute to a detrimental impact upon the function, appearance or
character of the locality.
18
Dwellings should incorporate passive solar design features to maximise residential amenity and
minimise energy consumption.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016

Victor Harbor (City)
Stormwater Management
19
Stormwater management systems should be designed and located to:
(a) improve the quality of receiving waters;
(b) protect existing native vegetation;
(c) prevent erosion;
(d) protect receiving waters from high levels of flow; and
(e) avoid adverse impacts on built structures.
20
The design of a land division should be in accordance with the Hindmarsh Valley Concept Plan
Figure VH(HiV)/1 and provide for:
(a) minimised impact on landform and drainage systems;
(b) land affected by a 1:100 ARI flood event being kept free from development;
(c) a stormwater drainage system that does not increase the flow rate downstream by
retaining and detaining stormwater for re-use close to its source;
(d) maximised interception, retention and removal of water-borne pollutants (including
sediment, litter, nutrients, microbial contaminants and other potential toxic materials)
prior to their discharge to receiving water;
(e) the continuation of or assisting in the establishment or restoration of healthy and
diverse wetland environments;
(f)
preventing the potential for sewage overflows to enter the system;
(g) maximising opportunities, where feasible, for aquifer recharge; and
(f)
retention of mature native trees within stormwater management areas.
21
Development should include multiple-use of public open space corridors and drainage areas, with
temporary stormwater basins and swales which contribute to amenity and provide recreational
and play opportunities within public open space.
22
Development should incorporate stormwater management techniques to contain the quantity,
velocity, variability and quality of run-off to as near pre-development levels as practical, by means
of but not limited to:
(a) directing roof stormwater overflow from rainwater tanks to soakage trenches or to
retention/overflow wells or sumps where large roof catchments are involved;
(b) utilising grassed swales or natural drainage lines to accommodate the major flows from
the land development; and
(c) incorporating stormwater systems designed to prevent entry of pollutants such as
sediment, pesticides and herbicides, bacteria, animal wastes and oil, grease and waste
water from vehicle cleaning processes, air conditioners and fire protection services pipe
work testing into receiving water.
Note: In order to avoid pollution of receiving waters, development should not discharge or deposit a pollutant listed in Part
1 of Schedule 4 of the Environment Protection (Water Quality) Policy into any waters or onto land from which it is
reasonably likely to enter any waters (including by processes such as seepage or infiltration or carriage by wind, rain, sea
spray or stormwater or by the rising of the water table).
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
199
23
Victor Harbor (City)
Development should incorporate appropriate measures to minimise any concentrated stormwater
discharge from the site including:
(a) the collection and use of roof run-off in rain saver gutters and rainwater tanks for
irrigation and internal purposes;
(b) the use of on-site detention tanks with appropriately sized inlets / outlets;
(c) the direction of rainfall run-off onto landscaped areas;
(d) the installation of appropriate soakage devices such as soakage trenches or wells; and
(e) the use of permeable forms of paving.
Landscaping and Fencing
24
Development in Recreation/Conservation/Open Space Areas as shown on the Hindmarsh Valley
Concept Plan Figure VH(HiV)/1 should be limited to infrastructure associated with recreation and
stormwater management, and the understorey should be restored/revegetated to enhance the
conservation value of these areas.
25
Development should preserve mature native trees as important landscape features.
26
Dwellings should be sited to preserve the long-term stability and health of existing trees by
avoiding substantial excavations in proximity to the trunk and minimising impervious surfaces
beneath the canopy of trees which meet the following criteria:
(a) a trunk diameter of more than 200 millimetres, measured one metre above natural
ground level;
(b) a height of more than 5 metres; and
(c) are of Australian native origin.
27
Dwellings should not be sited where there is a significant risk of a tree causing damage to the
dwelling.
Recreation and Conservation along the Hindmarsh River
28
Development within the recreation/conservation/open space areas along the Hindmarsh River as
shown on the Hindmarsh Valley Concept Plan Figure VH(HiV)/1 should be for conservation,
recreation and stormwater management purposes.
29
Development within the recreation/conservation/open space areas along the Hindmarsh River as
shown on the Hindmarsh Valley Concept Plan Figure VH(HiV)/1 should be sited and designed in
a manner compatible with the flood-prone nature of the land.
30
The linear pedestrian and cyclists trail along the Hindmarsh River should be extended in a
northerly direction along the Hindmarsh River corridor as shown on the Hindmarsh Valley
Concept Plan Figure VH(HiV)/1, designed and located so as to minimise environmental impact.
31
Areas within the Hindmarsh River corridor as shown on the Hindmarsh Valley Concept Plan
Figure VH(HiV)/1 should be preserved as conservation resources by creating buffer areas
between this corridor and urban development in the form of a road, then shared
bicycle/pedestrian path, then riverine corridor with dwellings facing the River, while also carefully
managing stormwater runoff into this corridor.
Non-Residential Development
32
The neighbourhood activity centre identified on Figure VH(HiV)/1 should be of a scale and
location to provide a range of services to surrounding residents and maximise the number of
households within walking distance.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
200
33
Victor Harbor (City)
The designated neighbourhood activity centre should:
(a) maximise its role as a neighbourhood focus by including a range of community facilities
(b) be physically connected with surrounding residential areas by:
(i)
avoiding large expanses of vehicle parking that physically separates the activity
centre from surrounding residential areas
(ii)
including pedestrian and cycle linkages that enable residents to comfortably walk
and cycle directly from residential areas to and also within activity centre facilities
(c) orient development towards and near to public spaces and street frontages
(d) incorporate, where possible, mixed use development along the edges to provide a
transition from activity centre uses to residential areas
(e) include shelter for pedestrians along public streets and internal access ways
(f)
ensure building façades create diversity of interest and have the appearance of an
aggregation of small buildings
(g) ensure roof forms are varied and do not include large expanses of roofline that are
visible from the public domain
(h) ensure buildings address the street frontage and open spaces with servicing areas
generally accessed via rear lanes or internal to the activity centre and not visible from
public streets
(i)
retain and enhance existing road reserve vegetation to screen the development and
provide additional vegetation to the boundaries of the activity centre fronting residential
developments.
34
Development within designated activity centres should be set back a maximum of 3 metres from
the primary road frontage(s).
35
The scale, bulk and design of non-residential development should be complementary to the
desired character for the surrounding residential environment.
36
Landscaping of non-residential development should incorporate locally indigenous species
species as much as possible and should be used, where practicable, to provide continuity with
residential streetscapes.
37
Medium-scale places of worship (between 30 and 300 worshippers in any one session) and large
scale places of worship (above 300 worshippers in any one session) are not desirable in the
Zone given the significant impacts on residential amenity associated with traffic, car parking,
noise and general nuisance.

NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE ZONE
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Neighbourhood Centre
Zone shown on Maps ViH/13, 17 and 18. They are additional to those Council Wide provisions
expressed for the whole of the council area and in places where there is an apparent conflict, take
precedence over the Council Wide provisions.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
An activity centre providing a range of shopping, community, business, and
recreational facilities for the surrounding neighbourhood.
Objective 2:
An activity centre that provides the main focus of business and community life
outside of the Regional Town Centre Zone, and provides for the more frequent
and regularly recurring needs of a community.
Objective 3:
An activity centre accommodating residential development in conjunction with
non-residential development.
Objective 4:
An activity centre which has a safe and convenient environment for the
movement of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicular traffic, within, to, and from the
zone.
Objective 5:
Development located and designed to minimise adverse impact and conflict
between land uses, both within the zone and in adjoining areas.
Objective 6:
Development that contributes to the desired character of the zone.
DESIRED CHARACTER
Development will be of a high architectural design standard and appearance that responds to and
reinforces positive aspects of the local environment and built form. Active frontages will be promoted
through the frequency of different tenancies, diversity of activities, a high proportion of windows and
numerous pedestrian entrances. Verandahs will be provided to create a comfortable and intimate
place for pedestrians and large blank walls will be avoided. A consistent landscaping approach will be
employed in each activity centre location to provide a unified, linking aspect over the various land
uses.
The activity centres at McCracken and Hayborough occupy prominent locations and, as such, it is
important that built form and associated advertisements do not overwhelm the respective localities.
This will be achieved through the appropriate siting of taller buildings (or taller elements of buildings),
use of setbacks from roadways (including a minimum of 3 metre setback from both Adelaide and
Hindmarsh roads) and adjacent residential sites, landscaping of all frontages to soften built form, and
the use of colours and materials.
Hayborough Area
Development of the Hayborough Area of the Neighbourhood Centre Zone will be undertaken in
accordance with Concept Plan Figure NCe/1.
Stand-alone residential dwellings may be developed fronting March Avenue, however, all other
residential development in the Hayborough Area will be in conjunction with non-residential
development.
McCracken Area
Development of the McCracken Area of the Neighbourhood Centre Zone will be undertaken in
accordance with Concept Plan Figure NCe/2.
The primary vehicular access to commercial activities will be via the Adelaide / Hindmarsh / Port Elliot
roundabout and from Adelaide Road, with appropriate vehicular access also provided from
McCracken Drive.

COMMERCIAL ZONE
Introduction
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply in the Commercial Zone on
Maps ViH/17 and 18. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of the Victor Harbor council
area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A zone accommodating a range of commercial, office, warehousing activities,
including wholesaling, storage, distribution and service activities.
Objective 2:
A zone accommodating indoor/outdoor recreational facilities.
Objective 3:
A high standard of development in this gateway location, which promotes
buildings which are low in scale and incorporate high quality streetscape design
to enhance the appearance of the locality along the Adelaide to Victor Harbor
Road and Port Elliot Road.
Objective 4:
A zone that is developed in a manner which minimises any adverse impacts on
the adjoining Residential Zone in terms of appearance, noise, lighting and traffic
generation.
Objective 5:
Development that contributes to the Desired Character of the zone.
DESIRED CHARACTER
The role of the zone is to cater for a variety of commercial uses such as offices, limited small scale
bulky goods outlets and small-scale service trade premises. The expansion of centre type facilities
such as shops is not desired, although limited retail associated with the uses envisaged in the zone is
appropriate.
Development along the Adelaide to Victor Harbor Road and Port Elliot Road will be distinctive and of a
high architectural and landscape quality to reflect the gateway significance of the location and improve
the amenity of the local area. All aspects of building design and site planning will ensure high quality
development faces each road. Buildings generally should be low in scale and height and
complemented by high quality landscaping.
Changes in the use of land and buildings should generally be of a low traffic generating nature. Where
possible, the sharing of parking areas between land uses is encouraged.
Development on sites with an unsatisfactory layout will be designed to improve or rectify these
conditions, particularly where it relates to parking and traffic movement, integration of allotments and
the orientation of buildings.
Development will have regard to the adjoining residential development and is planned to protect the
residential amenity of the adjacent area and avoid potential future conflicts.

Objective 4
Development that contributes to the desired character of the zone.
DESIRED CHARACTER
This Zone primarily accommodates a range of tourist accommodation uses, including camping sites,
caravans and cabins. Dwellings and long-term accommodation will not lead to the displacement of
existing tourist accommodation in high demand locations.
Buildings will be a maximum height of two storeys and blend in with the natural environment. In rural
and natural landscapes, the visual impact of the park will be minimal from scenic vantage points,
public lookouts and tourist routes. Vegetation buffers and landscaping will be important in integrating
the park into the landscape and providing screening from surrounding land uses, as well as reducing
visual and noise impacts and providing privacy for park users.
Circulation and movement within the park will be pedestrian friendly and promote low speed vehicle
movement.

VICTOR HARBOR RURAL
Introduction
Background
The Victor Harbor district is predominantly rural in its function and character. Farming activities range
from extensive grazing to intensive animal keeping. Settlement patterns in the district have been
influenced largely by topography. There are larger landholdings and less intensive development in the
northern region where topography is steep and rugged, and more intensive development on the lower
slopes and valley floors to the south.
The district contains the Hindmarsh Valley reservoir and catchment area, and part of the Currency
Creek catchment area. These areas serve important functions as water catchments and are subject to
watershed controls administered by SA Water.
The district has, in common with the Fleurieu Region as a whole, a variety of scenic attractions. The
magnificent coastal scenery ranging from abrupt cliff tops to long white, sandy beaches, provide an
ideal setting for recreation and tourist-orientated activities including scenic drives, bush-walking,
fishing, boating, surfing, swimming and picnicking.
Apart from its important tourist function, the district also attracts interest from the educational and
research fields. Numerous sites and features of geological, biological and geographical interest are
scattered throughout the district. Such sites include Rosetta Head and Petrel Cove, Newland Head,
Mount Billy, Strangway-Inman Hill, and the dune and estuary system at Waitpinga.
Maps ViH/1 (Overlay 1) and (Overlay 2) shows, in general terms, the desired strategy for the
development of the district to achieve:
(a) A wide range of rural activities within general farming areas.
(b) A range of allotment sizes and densities appropriate to the physical capabilities of the
district.
(c) Recognition and protection of the environmental quality of those parts of the district which
have been assessed as having a landscape of bushland, ecological significance.
(d) Protection of the scenic qualities of the district as viewed from public roads, lookout points
and coastal areas.
(e) Protection of the watershed function of the north-eastern portion of the district.
(f)
conservation of the riverine environments of the Hindmarsh and Inman Rivers and their
tributaries.
(g) The extraction of mineral resources from established quarry workings in a manner
compatible with the protection of the natural environment.

OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
Detached dwellings in association with farming and other minor rural activities,
including horse keeping.
Objective 2:
Retention of the zone's pleasant rural appearance as derived from the gently
undulating pastures, patches of dense scrub, established trees, scattered
dwellings and numerous creeks.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
1
Development should be primarily for detached dwellings with small-scale rural activities.

(a) the division results in the rationalization of allotment boundaries to suit the use to which
the land will be put, without increasing the total number of allotments; or
(b) all new allotments will have a minimum area of one hectare, and the average of the
areas of all allotments resulting from the division of land is at least 2.5 hectares.
3
Non-residential development should be limited in scale, nature and intensity, be ancillary to a
residential use and be compatible with the amenity of residential uses in the locality.
4
Buildings should be sited unobtrusively, set-back from roads, and screened with landscaping to
ensure that the open and rural character and the amenity of the locality is maintained and
enhanced.
5
Dog kennels should be designed to minimise the transmission of noise within the locality.
6
The keeping of animals on a commercial basis, and particularly the keeping of pigs, should not
occur in or close to the Rural Living 1 Zone.

RURAL LIVING 2 ZONE
Introduction
The objectives, proposal and principles of development control that follow apply to the Rural Living 2
Zone shown on Maps ViH/12, 15, 16, 19, 20 and 23. They are additional to those expressed for the
whole of the Victor Harbor council area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
Continuation of a variety of farming activities including dairying, grazing,
horticulture and animal keeping, and other rural uses carried out on a small-scale.
Objective 2:
Maintenance of the natural skyline and an attractive open rural backdrop to the
urban area of Victor Harbor as viewed from that urban area.
Objective 3:
Realization of potential for closer settlement for residential, recreational and
tourist activities, in a manner which retains the overall rural character of the area
and minimises interference with adjoining rural and urban land.
PROPOSAL
Council proposes to investigate the establishment and proper management of riding and walking trails
in parts of the zone which are attractive for public use, having regard to the need to control the use of
such trails to protect the interests of land owners and occupiers and utilizing, where possible, public
land and undeveloped road reserves.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
1
Development should be primarily for detached dwellings in association with small-scale rural
activities.
2
Development should be compatible with the continuation of general agricultural activities.
3
Development should not be prominently visible from primary or secondary arterial roads or
detract from the overall character of the rural landscape as seen from those roads.
4
Buildings should be sited and designed in a manner which will not adversely affect the rural
character of the hillside behind the town.
5
Development ancillary to residential use of land should be compatible with the use of land in the
zone for farming.
6
Division of land should only occur if:
(a) the division results in the rationalization of allotment boundaries to suit the use to which
the land will be put, without increasing the total number of allotments; or
(b) where all new allotments have a minimum area of two hectares and the average of the
areas of all allotments resulting from the division of land is at least 2.5 hectares.
7
Land division should not create elongated allotments on the face of the escarpment in a manner
which should result in building development in close proximity with adjacent developments on
neighbouring allotments.
8
New allotments should be designed to facilitate efficient land management.
9
Dwellings normally should be single-storey or, where two levels are proposed, benched into the
slope to establish a low-profile in the hillside and to avoid cut and fill.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
242
Victor Harbor (City)
10
No part of any building should appear on or above the skyline but should be sited well below the
ridge top.
11
Dwellings, outbuildings, tanks and other structures should be grouped together to avoid scattered
or random siting of structures.
12
Fences should be constructed of open mesh, post and wire or other materials which can be seen
through. Solid fences should not be erected.
13
Earthworks in the form of cut and fill to accommodate buildings, structures and roads should be
minimised and should be undertaken only to reduce the visual impact to the proposed
development.
14
Development should be screened by vegetation to break up the mass of buildings, to minimise
visual impact of development on the escarpment from nearby roads and from the town, to assist
soil stabilisation and to minimise or reduce erosion.
15
Roads and driveways should be landscaped to minimise their visual impact.
16
To prevent visual intrusion on the escarpment, electricity and telephone lines should be
underground.
17
Development should not impair the drainage function or the appearance of the Hindmarsh or
Inman Rivers.
18
Retail, industrial or commercial development should not occur in this zone unless the activity is
associated with the processing of primary production in the locality.
19
Development should take place in a manner which will enable agriculture to continue.
20
Established mining operations should minimise interference with the surrounding environment
and land uses.
21
The keeping of animals on a commercial basis, and in particular the keeping of pigs, should not
occur in or close to the Rural Living 2 Zone.

(c) acceptable water harvesting techniques.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
General
1
Development should be in accordance with Fig RuL4(ViH)/1.
2
Dwellings and other buildings should be sited on those parts of an allotment that are either
devoid or substantially devoid of native vegetation.
3
Buildings and structures, including stables, should be set-back no less than 20.0 metres from any
public road, and 5.0 metres from any side or rear boundary.
4
Buildings should be sited unobtrusively and screened with landscaping to ensure that the rural
character and amenity of the locality is maintained and enhanced.
5
Dwellings and other buildings intended for human habitation should be:
(a) equipped with an adequate and reliable on-site water supply which has a storage
capacity equivalent to at least 15 000 litres per bedroom; and
(b) connected to a suitably designed and constructed effluent disposal system.
6
Areas and facilities used for the storage of fodder should be designed and constructed to prevent
infestation by vermin.
Land Division
7
Land should generally be divided in accordance with Fig RuL4(ViH)/1 and having regard to a
hydrological assessment defining the extent of the 1-in-100 ARI flood.
8
The minimum size of allotments should be 1.0 hectare with an average of at least 1.5 hectares
for the whole zone.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
248
Victor Harbor (City)
9
Any division of land abutting the Inman River should result in the vesting of the river alignment
and its flood plain as depicted on Fig RuL4(ViH)/1 as part of open space contribution with the
relevant authority.
10
Allotment boundaries proposed in any land division should minimise loss of vegetation.
11
Land division design should have regard to the distribution of native vegetation to minimise
clearance of native vegetation.
Horse Keeping
12
Horse keeping should only occur on allotments created to the east of and below the 50 metre
contour.
13
Stables, horse yards and associated facilities should be located at least 8.0 metres from any
dwelling.
14
An area should be made available on each site where horses are kept for the loading and
unloading of horses, fodder and other goods and materials or wastes brought to or removed from
the land.
15
Day yards for horses should not be located nearer than 8.0 metres from any dwelling and should
not be larger than 8.0 metres by 5.0 metres.
16
Adequate dust suppression techniques should be used wherever necessary in sand and
like-filled areas.
17
The open space about the stables and yards should be planted or surfaced with a suitable
ground cover to minimise dust or erosion.
18
Horse keeping should only be undertaken if:
(a) it would not detrimentally affect the character and amenity of the locality; and
(b) not more than two horses per hectare are kept.
Stormwater Management
19
Within any part of the zone:
(a) no buildings, additions to buildings or development should be located or undertaken
within a 1-in-100-year return period flood plain:
(b) fences, if required, should be designed and located in such a way as to minimise their
impact on the cross sectional volume capacity of the Inman River in the event of a 1-in100-year return period flood; and
(c) the excavation and/or filling of land should be kept to a minimum so as to preserve the
natural form of the land and any native vegetation, and should only be undertaken
where the capacity of the watercourse or its flood plain is not adversely affected to the
detriment of adjoining property owners.
20
Development should make suitable provision for the safe and efficient disposal of all wastes,
including effluent, stormwater and hard rubbish.
21
All development should incorporate a stormwater management plan that:
(a) encourages on-site water harvesting to maintain garden and lawn areas;
(b) provides sufficient land in drainage reserves and floodways for the construction of
appropriate structural controls, such as flow retardation basins, and wetlands;
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
249
Victor Harbor (City)
(c) maintains the volume and rate of run-off from newly-developed areas at levels as near
as possible to those which existed prior to the development;
(d) takes into consideration the impacts the development will have on existing
watercourses and downstream stormwater control facilities; and
(e) includes an engineering design which aims to preserve rather than eliminate natural
drainage systems.
22
During construction, measures should be taken to ensure that polluted run-off, particularly with
high sediment loads due to bare earth, is retained and treated before leaving the site.
23
Development should not be undertaken if the operation and management of such development
will result in:
(a) the pollution of natural watercourses and water catchment areas; or
(b) waterway erosion.
24
Development should ensure the risk of flooding on the site from internally generated stormwater
shall be less than that generated by a 100-year ARI event.
25
Development shall not take place unless the disposal of stormwater emanating from the site can
be achieved without unacceptable erosion, flooding or environmental risks to downstream
watercourses.

WATER PROTECTION ZONE
Introduction
The objectives, proposals and principles of development control that follow apply to the Water
Protection Zone shown on Maps ViH/3 to 6. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of
the Victor Harbor council area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
Protection of the Water Protection Zone against pollution and contamination.
Objective 2:
The prevention of development which could lead to a deterioration in the quality
of surface or underground waters.
Objective 3:
Provision for continuation of extensive farming activities compatible with the
retention of the natural features and function of the zone.
PROPOSALS
Council proposes to:
(a) establish appropriate land management guidelines for the reduction of fire risk in the zone;
and
(b) investigate the establishment and proper management of riding and walking trails in parts of
the zone which:
(i)
are attractive for public use;
(ii)
protect the interests of landowners and occupiers;
(iii) utilize, where possible, undeveloped road reserves and public land, with the exception
of reservoir reserves;
(iv) ensure that the impact on water quality will not be significant; and
(v) promote the development of Hindmarsh Falls as a regional recreational and visitor
attraction, provided that the development will not increase the risk of water pollution.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
1
Development within the Water Protection Zone should be compatible with its use as a water
catchment and storage area.
2
Development should primarily be limited to that which is essential for the maintenance of
sustainable grazing and mixed agricultural activities.
3
Activities which produce strong organic, chemical, or other intractable wastes, should not be
established in this zone (other than wineries, where the risk to water supply is negligible with
appropriate management, design and siting).
4
Land should not be divided, nor allotment boundaries rearranged, in such a way that
development of the resulting allotments in accordance with the objectives and principles of
development control should result in a greater risk of pollution of surface or underground waters
than would development of the existing allotments.

RURAL COASTAL ZONE
Introduction
The objectives, proposals and principles of development control that follow apply to the Rural Coastal
Zone shown on Maps ViH/7 to 9, 23 and 24. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of
the Victor Harbor council area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
Continuation of extensive farming activities compatible with preservation of the
natural coastal environment.
Objective 2:
Protection of the visual qualities for the scenic coastal landscape, including the
rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, dunes and estuaries and native vegetation.
Objective 3:
Retention and enhancement of the particular scientific, recreational and
environmental quality and significance.
Objective 4:
Provision for enhancement and conservation of those locations and sites of
particular tourist/recreational attraction, including Parsons/Waitpinga Beach,
Petrel Cove, Rosetta Head and Rosetta Bay.
PROPOSALS
Council proposes to:
(a) prepare concept plans for Parsons/Waitpinga Beach, Rosetta Head and Rosetta Bay
indicating:
(i)
defined vehicular access and car parking;
(ii)
defined pedestrian paths;
(iii) landscaping and erosion control measures; and
(iv) restriction of access to environmentally-sensitive areas;
(b) liaise with the Coast Protection Board in implementation of those plans;
(c) establish appropriate land management guidelines for the reduction of fire risk in the zone;
(d) investigate the establishment and proper management of riding and walking trails in parts of
the zone which are attractive for public use, having regard to the need to control the use of
such trails to protect the interests of landowners and occupiers and utilising, where possible,
public land and undeveloped road reserves; and
(e) designate selected access roads and pathways, the location of car parking areas, lookout
points and other facilities for the recreational enjoyment and convenience of the public on
appropriate sites,
and to issue a detailed supplementary development plan accordingly.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
1
Development should be primarily for agriculture appropriate to its physical capabilities and the
special environmental features of the coastal area.
2
Development should be designed and sited in a manner compatible with the retention of the
visual and environmental qualities of the coast.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
260
Victor Harbor (City)
3
Development shall not occur on sand dunes nor close to soft, erodable coastal cliffs.
4
Development should only be undertaken where:
(a) the building site is at least 0.3 metres above the 100 year average return interval
extreme water level (tide or stormwater or combined) and associated wave affects plus
an allowance for any land subsidence to the year 2050;
(b) the building floor level is at least 0.25 metres above the minimum site level set out in (a)
above;
(c) there are practical measures available to protect the development to withstand a further
0.7 metre sea level rise;
(d) building to be located over tidal water, where protection cannot be provided, should
either be capable of being raised or should have floor levels at least 1.25 metres above
100 year extreme water level including wave effects; and
(e) development, including flood erosion, and wave protection works such as seawalls and
breakwaters should not:
(i)
result in increased erosion of the beach or adjoining areas; or
(ii)
disturb or adversely affect marine and coastal processes or ecosystems.
5
Buildings and structures should be sited unobtrusively and should harmonize with the
environmental quality of the zone.
6
Development should not be located on prominent sites on open land. Where land is in view from
the coast or coastal road, the most unobtrusive portion of the allotment should be used,
preferably where existing vegetation will screen the development substantially. Wherever
possible, an extensive tree planting scheme should be undertaken to screen any exposed views
of the development. In all cases, the design of buildings should be, as far as possible:
(a) of a character and design which will blend with the surrounding landscapes;
(b) incorporate low-pitched roofs of a non-reflective texture and natural earth colours, for
example, green or brown;
(c) have walls finished in natural colours with preference being given to brown or green
finishes which will blend with the intended rural character of the zone;
(d) involve excavations having a minimum detrimental effect on any vegetation on the site
or the natural appearance of the zone;
(e) have fencing of non-reflective materials and of a design, height and colour that will not
impair the surrounding landscape; and
(f)
7
locate any access roads, driveways and associated excavations so as to cause
minimum impairment to the natural appearance of the zone.
Development should incorporate a stormwater management scheme that minimises the pollution
of watercourses, provides flood protection and increases the re-use of stormwater through:
(a) encouragement of on-site water harvesting to maintain gardens, parks and lawn areas;
(b) provision of sufficient land in drainage reserves and floodways for the construction of
appropriate structural controls, such as flow retardation basins, wetlands and trash rack
facilities;
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
261
Victor Harbor (City)
(c) taking into consideration the impact that development will have on existing
watercourses and downstream stormwater control facilities;
(d) engineering designs that aim to preserve rather than eliminate natural drainage
systems; and
(e) maintaining the volume and rate of run-off from newly developed areas at levels as
near as possible to those which existed prior to the development.
8
Development should be sited and designed in a manner that protects sites of Aboriginal Heritage
significance.
Land Division
9
Land division may be undertaken in this area where no additional allotment or allotments are
created and the purpose of the plan of division is to:
(a) provide for a minor readjustment of allotment boundaries in order to correct an anomaly
in the placement of these boundaries with respect to the location of existing buildings
and structures; or
(b) provide for minor readjustment of allotment boundaries in order to improve the
management of the land for the purpose of primary production and/or the conservation
of its natural features.
10
Development should not result in conditions which will increase the risk of bush fires significantly.
11
There should be no industrial or commercial development unless the activity is associated with
the processing of primary produce from land in the locality.
12
Development should take place in a manner which will enable agriculture to continue.

MIXED USE ZONE
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Mixed Use Zone shown
on Maps ViH/16 and 21. They are additional to those Council Wide provisions expressed for the whole
of the council area and in places where there is an apparent conflict, take precedence over the
Council Wide provisions.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A functional and diverse zone accommodating a mix of commercial, community,
medium density residential, office, and small-scale shop land uses.
Objective 2:
Development that minimises any adverse impacts upon the amenity of the locality
within the zone.
Objective 3:
Development that contributes to the desired character of the zone.
DESIRED CHARACTER
The zone provides for a wide range of development but emphasis is placed on activities with a low
impact such as community services, residential development and educational facilities.
Vegetated areas, particularly adjacent the Inman River, will be retained for open space and
recreational purposes. Legible and safe pedestrian paths will be provided around and through the site
to the riverine environment.
Access / egress to the site will be via Ewen Terrace and Armstrong Road, however, the access from
Armstrong Road will provide a no-through road arrangement that services uses fronting that road.
The vegetated council drain along Armstrong Road will be retained and provide screening to the
emergency services precinct. Emergency service activities will be protected from encroachment by
adjoining uses that would otherwise restrict their activities.
Development will not occur within a 1-in-100 year average return interval flood event area.
Development will seek opportunities for harvesting and recycling of stormwater and will ensure that
pollutants are not transferred to the river system.

SUBURBAN NEIGHBOURHOOD ZONE
The objectives and principles of development control that follow apply to the Suburban Neighbourhood
Zone shown on Map ViH/20. They are additional to those Council Wide provisions expressed for the
whole of the council area and in places where there is an apparent conflict, take precedence over the
Council Wide provisions.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1:
A predominantly low and medium density residential area that comprises a range
of dwelling types together with local and neighbourhood activity centres that are
located within a walkable distance of most residents.
Objective 2:
Provision of medium density residential development adjacent to activity centres,
public transport stops and public open space.
Objective 3:
Affordable housing that is integrated into residential and mixed use development.
Objective 4:
Local and neighbourhood activity centres that provide a range of shopping,
community, business and recreational facilities for the surrounding
neighbourhood.
Objective 5:
The orderly expansion or intensification of urban areas to support the effective
and economic provision of public infrastructure and community services.
Objective 6:
Sustainable development outcomes through innovation in stormwater
management, waste minimisation, water conservation, energy efficiency and
urban biodiversity.
Objective 7:
Development that contributes to the desired character of the zone.
Objective 8:
Development on sloping land designed to minimise environmental and visual
impacts and protect soil stability and water quality.
DESIRED CHARACTER
This zone will be developed as low and medium density residential neighbourhood established around
a neighbourhood-scale activity centre. The layout of the area will create active public spaces and
provide equitable access to public open space, shops, education facilities and a range of community
services.
Housing diversity is a priority for the zone and a range of affordable and social housing products will
also be delivered through innovative land division layout, housing design, access and parking
arrangements. Affordable housing will be integrated and complementary in design and appearance to
other dwellings within the development. Affordable housing will be integrated and complementary in
design and appearance to other dwellings within the development.
Dwellings will be up to 2 storeys with an average net residential density of around 30 to 45 dwellings
per hectare. Higher density buildings with a net residential density of around 45 to 70 dwellings per
hectare, which may including taller buildings up to 3 storeys, are envisaged within and directly
adjacent to activity centres or directly abutting public open spaces greater than 2000 square metres.
A neighbourhood activity centre is envisaged within the zone (as shown on Concept Plan Figure
SN/1), containing in the order of 6,000 square metres of retail floor space, in addition to other
business and community facilities. The neighbourhood activity centre will be located to encourage
access via a network of pedestrian and bicycle linkages, and will serve a broader area beyond the
Zone.

Street level uses will be primarily retail, service and office. Upper floor land uses will primarily be
residential with some office accommodation. Features and activities that attract people to activity
centres are encouraged, such as frequent doors and display windows, retail shopfronts and outdoor
eating or dining areas spilling out onto footpaths. A distinctive urban form, adjacent to and within
activity centres, will frame squares and courtyards and reinforce a main-street theme.
Activity centres will have a pedestrian friendly environment with wide footpaths, colonnades,
courtyards, awnings and street furniture. Public and communal spaces will encourage community
interaction and no or low fencing on road frontages will promote casual surveillance. Parking areas
will be sited behind buildings, where possible, to reinforce the pedestrian feel.
Street patterns and walkways will be integral to subdivision. Neighbourhood design will encourage
active travel such as walking and cycling to local services and facilities.
Open space will be provided away from potential noise sources. Public open space will be designed
as safe and attractive places for a range of recreational activities and formal sport as well as water
management and environmental protection.
Water Sensitive Urban Design systems, including the harvest, treatment, storage and reuse of storm
water, will be integrated throughout the area at the neighbourhood, street, site and building level.
Harvested storm water will improve the aesthetic and functional value of open spaces, including public
access ways and greenways.
Areas within the Zone on the upper slopes are identified as being subject to Medium Bushfire Risk
provisions and adjoin an area of High Bushfire Risk to the west. Land division will therefore ensure
that access is available for fire-fighting personnel from the Zone to the adjoining High Bushfire Risk
Area. It is expected that larger allotments and lower density development will be provided in this area
taking into account the slope of the land and to assist in mitigating bushfire risk. A buffer of reduced
vegetation should be established along the boundary of the zone adjacent to the area of High Bushfire
Risk.
The upper slopes of the zone form a backdrop to Victor Harbor and Encounter Bay. It also includes
land with steeper gradients (above 1 in 5 or more), as indicated by the area for ‘Low Density
Residential’ on Concept Plan Figure SN/1. Development in these areas of the Zone will incorporate
minimal cut and fill and be designed and landscaped (without compromising bushfire protection
measures) to minimise the visual impact of the area when viewed from the lower lying areas to the
east. Single storey development in these areas is preferred unless the building is designed to follow
the contours of the land (i.e. stepped level development).
An existing quarry operates within a tenement to the north of the zone. These mining operations may
shift southwards closer to the zone to access potential mineral resources located to the south and
outside of the existing tenement boundary. While existing housing and rural living areas to the north
and west of the zone are already located within guideline separation distances for quarry activities, the
land division layout should minimise (or preferably avoid) increasing the number of dwellings within
400 metres of the potential mineral resource area shown on Concept Plan Figure SN/1.

building on the adjoining land to the same or lesser length and height;
(b) constructed in accordance with any approved building envelope plan.
Site Area
17
18
Other than within the ‘low density area’ as shown on Concept Plan Figure SN/1 a dwelling should
have a minimum site area (and in the case of residential flat buildings, an average site area per
dwelling) and a frontage to a public road not less than that shown in the following table:

Other than within the ‘low density area’ as shown on Concept Plan Figure SN/1, the minimum site
area requirements specified can be reduced where the division is accompanied by a building
envelope plan detailing building footprints and wall heights that demonstrates that the
development contributes to the desired character of the zone and where one of the following
applies:
(a) the allotment(s) is located within 200 metres of a neighbourhood activity centre;
(b) the development includes 15 per cent affordable housing;
(c) the allotment(s) is directly adjacent public open space greater than 2000 square
metres.
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
273
19
Victor Harbor (City)
Residential development within the ‘low density residential’ area shown on Concept Plan
Figure SN/1 should consist only of detached dwellings on allotments of not less than 1500 square
metres.
Local and Neighbourhood Activity Centres
20
The neighbourhood activity centre identified on Concept Plan Figure SN/1 should be of a scale
and distribution that does not impede the development of the Victor Harbor Town Centre and be
established within the zone such that it maximises the number of households in the wider area
that are within walking distance.
21
Designated local and neighbourhood activity centres should:
(a) maximise their role as a neighbourhood focus by including a range of community
facilities;
(b) be physically connected with surrounding residential areas by:
(i)
avoiding large expanses of vehicle parking that physically separates the activity
centre from surrounding residential areas;
(ii)
including pedestrian and cycle linkages that enable residents to comfortably walk
and cycle directly from residential areas to and also within activity centre facilities;
(c) orient development towards and near to public spaces and street frontages;
(d) incorporate, where possible, mixed use development along the edges to provide a
transition from activity centre uses to residential areas;
(e) include shelter for pedestrians along public streets and internal access ways;
(f)
ensure building façades create diversity of interest and have the appearance of an
aggregation of small buildings;
(g) ensure roof forms are varied and do not include large expanses of roofline that are
visible from the public domain;
(h) ensure buildings address the street frontage and open spaces with servicing areas
generally accessed via rear lanes or internal to the activity centre and not visible from
public streets.
22
Development within designated activity centres should be set back a maximum of 3 metres from
the primary road frontage.
Sloping Land
23
Development including roads and associated driveways should be sited and designed to
integrate with the natural topography of the land and minimise the need for earthworks.
24
Development including roads and associated driveways, including related earthworks, should be
sited, designed and undertaken in a manner that:
(a) minimises their visual impact;
(b) reduces the bulk of the buildings and structures;
(c) minimises the extent of cut and/or fill;
(d) minimises the need for, and the height of, retaining walls;
(e) does not cause or contribute to instability of any embankment or cutting;
Consolidated - 26 May 2016
274
(f)
Victor Harbor (City)
avoids the silting of watercourses;
(g) protects development and its surrounds from erosion caused by water runoff.
25
Driveways across sloping land should be accessible and have a safe, all-weather trafficable
surface.
26
Development sites should not be at risk of landslip.
27
Development on steep land should include site drainage systems to minimise erosion and avoid
adverse impacts on slope stability.
28
Steep sloping sites in un-sewered areas should not be developed unless the physical
characteristics of the allotments enable the proper siting and operation of an effluent drainage
field suitable for the development intended.
29
The cutting and/or filling of land should:
(a) be kept to a minimum and be limited to a maximum depth or height no greater than
1.5 metres so as to preserve the natural form of the land and the native vegetation;
(b) only be undertaken in order to reduce the visual impact of buildings, including
structures, or in order to construct water storage facilities for use on the allotment;
(c) only be undertaken if the resultant slope can be stabilised to prevent erosion;
(d) result in stable scree slopes which are covered with top soil and landscaped so as to
preserve and enhance the natural character or assist in the re-establishment of the
natural character of the area.
Hazards
30
To protect against bushfire, dwellings should not be sited within 40 metres of a slope greater than
20 degrees, where the length of the slope is greater than 10 metres and covered by hazardous
vegetation.
31
The Medium Bushfire Risk classification will apply to development in those parts of the zone
shown as Excluded in Bushfire Protection Area BPA Maps – Bushfire Risk, if any of the following
apply:
(a)
the development does not form part of the contiguous urban area
(b)
the development is on an allotment that is not connected to a mains water supply.
Land Division
32
Land division should identify an allotment capable of accommodating an activity centre in the
location identified on Concept Plan Figure SN/1.
