Economic development in small rural settlements
Land will not normally be zoned for economic development in small rural settlements, but unzoned land within settlement limits may be considered for industrial, business, storage or distribution uses if appropriate to the settlement character and meeting normal planning criteria.
Within small rural settlements, the Department will not normally zone land for economic development purposes in the interests of flexibility. Favourable consideration will be given to applications for industrial, business and storage or distribution uses on unzoned land included within the settlement limit, provided the proposal is of a scale, nature and design appropriate to the character of the settlement involved and it meets the normal planning criteria for this type of development
