The objectives of this policy are to:
- ensure BRM and its regional importance is considered at the earliest stages of the planning process;
- protect BRM in SGS areas and ES by avoiding encroachment from incompatible land uses;
- ensure BRM resources are used efficiently in land use planning and development;
- identify BRM extraction opportunities through sequential land use without compromising the final intended land use; and
- ensure the extraction of BRM avoids, minimises or mitigates any adverse impacts on the community, water resources and biodiversity values.
