Rules Plan rules permit activities within industrial areas subject to compliance with performance standards. Proposals which fail to comply with stated performance standards will be considered as Discretionary Activities. Non-industrial activities within the industrial areas will be considered as Non-Complying Activities. To address amenity values, rules will require contributions of funds or landscaping works from industrial developments for the purpose of acquiring and developing landscaped areas for Urban Industrial Zones at the entrances to towns. Where industrial zoned land adjoins non-industrial land rules will require that buildings comply with the maximum height and building location requirements, of the adjoining zone in respect of the common boundary. Standards Performance standards address matters such as noise, vehicle access and loading, parking, building height and location, landscape enhancement, and size and location of advertising signs, effluent disposal and discharges to air (including smell and dust). Other Council will promote ongoing landscape improvement of the main transport corridors within industrial areas.
