Explanation

Council is limiting the scale and nature of home occupations to ensure that the character of the rural and residential areas is maintained and enhanced as expressed in the Objective for Amenity Values. Council acknowledges the contribution that home occupations make to the social and economic sectors of the community but has implemented controls to protect the amenity values of the district from the potential adverse affects and to preserve productive rural land for primary production.

Council’s principle concern with roadside stalls is to ensure that the adverse effects of traffic and parking both on-site and on the public road are adequately avoided, remedied or mitigated.

Council is ensuring that there are ongoing opportunities for agriculturalists to sell their produce from the property.
