(c) to ensure that proper regard is given to the needs and wishes of the community and
environmental quality;
(d) to ensure that development on land at or near the foreshores of Port Jackson is designed so as to take into consideration the appearance of the land and development when viewed from Port Jackson;
(e) to improve access to the foreshore areas of the Municipality by acquisition or
dedication or by gaining rights of public access over foreshore land;
(f) to maintain commercial and industrial areas within the Municipality while protecting existing residential accommodation and amenity;
(g) to provide increased opportunities for public involvement and participation in
environmental planning and assessment within the Municipality by advertising all development applications;

(i) to incorporate all planning controls for the Municipality into a single local
environmental plan;
(j) to minimise the adverse effect of traffic within the Municipality;
