5.4.2 The Norfolk Island Plan 2002

The Norfolk Island Plan 2002 (the Plan), provides for a strategic planning framework for the preferred
future use, development and management of land. It is comprised of two main components: (Part A—
Strategic Plan) and (Part B—Zoning, Scheme, Overlay Provisions and General Provisions).

Under Part A—Strategic Plan, the KAVHA site is in the 'High Rural/Conservation Value Preferred
Dominant Land Use' area, the objectives for which include conservation and preservation of these areas.
The objectives allow for a limited range of complementary, low intensity and low impact use or
development; and provide land that may provide a buffer for certain incompatible uses.

Under Part B—Zoning Scheme, some of the land within the KAVHA site is zoned Rural (privately owned
and Crown leasehold land), while the Crown land is zoned Conservation, Special Use and Open Space.

The area identified as the KAVHA site is included in the Heritage Items Regulatory Map and further
described in clause S1.1 of Schedule 1. The 'KAVHA' is listed in the Norfolk Island Heritage Register and
within the Heritage Overlay established in the Plan. The Heritage Overlay aims to conserve the
environmental heritage of Norfolk Island, integrate heritage conservation into planning and development
control processes, provide for public involvement in the conservation of environmental heritage, and
ensure that use or development does not adversely affect the heritage significance of land subject to the
Heritage Overlay. This is managed through planning controls specific to the Heritage Overlay. These
controls include the following provisions.

. Most use and development proposals require consent and are subject to additional matters to be
considered in assessing a development application.®

° For development applications in the vicinity of a heritage item, the responsible Minister (or his or her
delegate responsible for planning) is required to take into account the likely effect of the proposal on the

heritage significance of the item.'

The Plan includes specific objectives and planning controls for the KAVHA site. It encourages use or
development consistent with the KAVHA Conservation Management Plan (CMP); and seeks
