DOLA understands that the objectives of the rural zone are to provide for the development of rural activity and for the development of mining activity as appropriate. This protects the land from urban uses that may jeopardise the future use of the land for priority mining and rural uses, and accommodates the development of isolated communities, including Aboriginal and railway settlements. The City has concerns about any form of residential development in close proximity to Parkeston, an area which has been identified for intensified general industrial activity. Any form of residential development on Location 191 could impact on nearby mining activities. (2) Not applicable. (3) Approximately 2,500 metres from Parkeston Railway Station. (4) Not applicable. (5) Approximately 400 metres from tailing ponds. (6) Not applicable. (7) No. (8) The area is zoned Railway and its current use is industrial associated with railway purposes. (9) Lease commenced 10 May 1990 for a term of 21 years for the purpose of Motor Cycle Track. (10) Not applicable. (11) Yes. See tabled paper. (12) Not applicable. (13) Approximately 24. (14) Not applicable. (15) 1,000 metres and approximately 20 houses – April 2000 aerial photography. (16) Not applicable (see 15). (17) No. (18) See answer 1.
