Amendment C217yran has been approved by the Minister for Planning. Notice of approval for the amendment was published in the Government Gazette on 1 March 2024.
What the amendment changed?
The amendment amended the Erosion Management Overlay Schedule (EMO) to simplify its structure by including new exemptions for minor buildings and works and vegetation removal and include separate requirements for subdivision applications. The amendment also amended the tolerable risk criteria from Low to Medium in particular circumstances, to ensure the risk provisions in the Planning Scheme are consistent with contemporary guidance provided in the Australian Geomechanics Society Practice Note Guidelines for Landslide Risk Management (AGS 2007).
Why was the amendment required?
The amendment was required to make the EMO more streamlined and useable and to make the risk provisions in the schedule consistent with contemporary guidance.
This approach will also assist people rebuilding after storm events such as the June 2021 storms.
