not create or worsen any traffic hazard; not have adverse impacts on the amenity of the locality; and ensure disturbance to surrounding land uses is minor and that impacts from emissions are minimised. AO4.2 All driveways, car parking and manoeuvring areas between the site entrance and site offices are sealed. AO4.3 Vehicle access is provided in accordance with the standards specified in the Planning scheme policy for development works. A4.3 Click and provide your representations. Separation distances PO5 The extractive industry is located on a site which has sufficient area to provide for adequate setback of operations from road frontages, site boundaries, surrounding residential uses and other sensitive receptors such that the extractive industry achieves an acceptable standard of visual amenity and control of noise, light, dust and vibration impacts. AO5.1 Hard rock extraction and processing activities involving blasting are not carried out within 40m of any boundary of the site or within 1km of any residential premises, land included within a residential zone or the Rural residential zone or other sensitive land use on surrounding land. AO5.2 Extractive and processing activities not involving blasting are not carried out within 30m of any boundary of the site or within 200m of any residential premises, land included within a residential zone or Rural residential zone or other sensitive land use on surrounding land. Note—a topographic feature providing a natural buffer between extractive and processing activities and a sensitive land use may provide justification for a lesser setback distance. AO5.3 A mounded landscape buffer having a minimum width of 10m is provided to all boundaries of the site. Editor’s note—section 9.4.2 (Landscaping code) sets out requirements for landscape buffers.

Management of blasting and other operations PO7 The extractive industry provides for blasting, crushing, screening, loading and other operations to be carried out safely and in accordance with best practice management standards so that disturbance to surrounding sensitive land uses is minor and that impacts from emissions are minimised. AO7.1 Blasting, all haulage vehicle movements and other operations associated with the extractive industry are confined to the hours of operation identified in Table 9.3.7.3.1A (Extractive industry hours of operation). Table 9.3.7.3.1A Extractive industry hours of operation Note—maintenance of plant equipment and vehicles may occur outside of the hours of operation prescribed in the above table provided that there is no disturbance or nuisance to surrounding sensitive land uses. Note—extractive industry operations may only occur outside of the hours of operation specified in the above table provided that it can be demonstrated that the use will achieve Performance outcome PO7.

planned sensitive land uses on surrounding premises. AO8.2 For a proposed extension to, or intensification of, an existing extractive industry, noise from the proposed extension/intensification does not result in a significant increase in noise levels at premises containing a sensitive land use. AO8.3 All haulage vehicle movements associated with the extractive industry do not generate road traffic noise levels that exceed 63 dB(A) L10 (18 hour) or 80 dB(A) LAmax at residential dwellings on the nominated transportation route. OR Where existing road traffic noise levels at residential dwellings on the nominated transportation route exceed 63 dB(A) L10 (18 hour) or 80 dB(A) LAmax, haulage vehicle movements associated with the extractive industry do not result in a significant increase in noise levels.
