Purpose

To establish a site-specific Direct Control zone that fosters a rural residential lifestyle on properties larger than 15.0ha.

The zone also provides for complementary residential related uses that are compatible with the residential character of the area. Uses that may have more of an impact on the area are included as discretionary uses so they can be considered by taking specific site circumstances and impacts into account.
