Site Characteristics in Industrial Subdivisions
       1. The purpose of this clause is to ensure that industrial lots respond to the physical characteristics of the land.

       2. Industrial subdivision design should:

         (a)           avoid the development of land of excessive slope, unstable or otherwise unsuitable soils (e.g. seasonally waterlogged) and natural drainage lines;

         (b)           retain and protect significant natural and cultural features; and

         (c)           avoid development of land affected by a 1% AEP flood or storm surge event.

         10.3.2     Infrastructure in Industrial Subdivisions
       1. The purpose of this clause is to ensure industrial lots are integrated with required infrastructure.                                                                      The subdivision of land may attract a monetary contribution toward the cost of infrastructure in accordance with a contributions plan under the Planning Act 1999 (NT).

        2.      Industrial subdivision design should:

         (a)           incorporate safe connection to the existing road network with particular consideration given to the needs of heavy vehicles;

         (b)           provide a simple layout with a clear hierarchy of roads, avoiding culs-de-sac, battle-axe lots and sharp curves and discouraging unrelated through traffic;

         (c)           minimise access from individual lots to major roads by using minor roads for such access;

         (d)           provide for road reserve and carriageway widths appropriate to the circumstances;

         (e)           provide for connection to reticulated services; and

         (f)            protect service infrastructure by providing/ preserving easements.

         10.3.3     Lot Size and Configuration in Industrial Subdivisions
       1. The purpose of this clause is to ensure lots are of an appropriate size and configuration.                                                     Clause 10.1.1 refers to minimum industrial lot sizes.

       2. Industrial subdivision should:

         (a)           provide for a variety of lot sizes to accommodate a range of activities; and

         (b)           ensure the utility of each lot in terms of:

             1. building space and accessibility;                                                                                                        Clause 6.7 refers to landscaping and plant related use and development.

             2. compatibility with adjacent commercial and residential areas with appropriate buffers (for example roads, landscaping or parks);

             3. sufficient space to accommodate the industrial operations and buildings envisaged and make allowance for possible future expansion; and

             4. safe vehicle entry and exit.
