Note that some exceptions to permit requirements are currently in place to aid the bushfire recovery process (refer to clause 52.38). Shelter belts There is no specific clause/s relating to shelter belts within the current planning scheme. Under clause 52.17 a permit is required for the removal of native vegetation. Generally native shelterbelts are preferred over exotic, however most farm owners use exotic species given the flexibility to remove without obtaining a permit. If native vegetation is preferred, there should be an exception to the current controls to allow the removal of native vegetation if planted as a shelterbelt. Views & Vistas There is no specific clause/s relating to views and vistas within the current planning scheme. Protection of ‘key views’ is addressed through objectives within a range of different clauses. ‘Key views’ are addressed throughout the scheme without any specifics on what ‘key views’ are, and where they occur. More specific guidance is needed within the current scheme. ‘Key views’ need to be better defined and locations need to be recognised.
