Hills Face Zone

Objectives
1 A zone in which the natural character is preserved and enhanced or re-established in order to:
(a) provide a natural backdrop to the Adelaide Plain and a contrast to the urban area
(b) preserve biodiversity and restore locally indigenous vegetation and fauna habitats close to metropolitan Adelaide
(c) provide for passive recreation in an area of natural character close to the metropolitan area
(d) provide a part of the buffer area between metropolitan districts and prevent the urban area extending into the western slopes of the Mount Lofty Ranges
(e) ensure that the community is not required to bear the cost of providing services to and within the zone.
2 A zone accommodating low intensity agricultural
activities and public/private open space and one where
structures are sited and designed in such a way as to:
(a) preserve and enhance the natural character or assist in the re-establishment of a natural character in the zone
(b) limit the visual intrusion of development in the zone, particularly when viewed from roads within the zone or from the Adelaide Plain
(c) not create, either in themselves, or in association with other developments, a potential demand for the provision of services at a cost to the community
(d) prevent the loss of life and property resulting from bushfires.
3 Development that contributes to the desired character of the zone.

Non Complying
Dwelling - Except where it achieves all of the following criteria:
(a) it will not result in more than one dwelling on an allotment and:
(i) no other dwelling exists on the allotment
(ii) no valid development authorisation to erect a dwelling
on that allotment exists
(iii) no other development application has been made for a dwelling on that allotment and has yet to be determined.
(b) the scale and design is such that:
(i) the vertical distance between any point at the top of any external wall and the finished ground level immediately below that point on the wall is less than 3 metres, other than gable ends of the dwelling where the distance is less than 5 metres
(ii) there is no floor level directly above another floor level,
except where the upper floor level is located wholly at or
below finished ground level
(iii) the depth of excavation and/or height of filling of land is less than 1.5 metres
(iv) access to a new dwelling is provided by a private
vehicular access track that is less than 30 metres in
length and which has a gradient of less than 16 degrees
(1-in-3.5) at any point
(v) it does not involve the clearance of native vegetation
comprising trees and/or shrubs.

Urban Employment Zone

Objectives
1 A policy area accommodating a range of low impact light industrial, commercial, warehouse, storage, tourist accommodation, cultural, entertainment and recreation uses.
2 Economic redevelopment and rehabilitation of the site of the former abattoir including the removal of non-functional and dilapidated structures and the remediation of contaminated land.
3 Buildings, facilities and car parks located and designed to complement the high quality natural environment and attractive elevated setting adjacent to the Onkaparinga River National Park.
4 Development that contributes to the desired character of the policy area.

Desired character

The policy area contains a former abattoir surrounded by generally open or undeveloped land. The site has a unique setting with prominent vistas to the coast and other parts of the council. It also forms a backdrop to the township of Old Noarlunga and the Onkaparinga River National Park.
A range of industry, commercial, tourist or community uses are envisaged to encourage investment towards total site redevelopment and rehabilitation of this site. In all cases the aim is to provide a form of development that is visually attractive and interesting and sits comfortably as part of this natural backdrop. Future development may comprise the demolition of part or all of the former abattoir and construction of new buildings designed to maximise the expansive available views in most directions.
The previous land uses in the policy area may have led to contamination of land and underlying groundwater within the area, therefore final development options will be partially determined by the extent of any contamination and the remediation of land within the area if or as required.
It is envisaged that the building form not be restricted to small scale, but is contemporary, carefully designed, and utilises a range of materials and colours to present interesting facades and respond to the hilltop setting.
Professionally designed landscaping will be employed to enhance the functionality and appearance of the site at close range and to screen larger building elements within the site when viewed from a distance.
The siting and design of buildings will respond to the
setting of the nearby St Phillip and St James church
and ensure sightlines of this building are not obscured.

Land Use
1 The following forms of development are envisaged in the policy area; subject to soil quality assessment
and adequate remediation pri
