How this Plan is used in the Site Selection Process
The Site Selection Process is Defence’s procedure for approving the location of buildings,
facilities and infrastructure on establishments across the Defence Estate. The Zone Plan
Report must be consulted during the Site Selection Process as it provides guidance in
selecting a suitable area in which the physical location of new activities, buildings or
infrastructure should be sited.
The following steps are recommended:
1. Use the zone tables to identify the zone within which the proposed activity, building or
infrastructure typically occurs. The objectives for each zone are to be considered and
any comments in the discussion section noted.
2. Consult the zone plan map for potential locations within the given zone.
3. Precinct map/s and the various constraints maps should also be consulted at this
stage as these maps may identify constraints may completely rule out a site as
suitable for a project or, in the case of a new building, influence its location within a
zone or possibly even the building design.
The aim at this point is to establish whether a potential site is subject to restrictions
such as:
 height limitations
 a requirement for noise attenuation
 a specific level of security
 environmental or explosive ordnance constraints

reserved for a specific purpose
4. Consult the Special Provisions section of the plan for any site specific requirements.
For instance, a site within a Heritage Precinct may require a certain external building
appearance or facade. Areas of land may already be approved or to be reserved for
specific proposals and these will be identified within this section.
Where a suitable location within the recommended zone cannot be found and use of an
adjoining zone or the Future Development Zone is being considered, the Directorate of Land
Planning & Spatial Information must be consulted.

Overarching Principles and Objectives
Zone Plans are primarily concerned with the spatial reservation of land for prescribed groups
of compatible land uses and activities. They do not necessarily reserve specific locations for
future infrastructure projects as in the traditional master plans. However, there are some land
uses or projects that will have very specific siting requirements. These will be identified within
precinct plans.
The objectives of the zone plan are:

To preserve ongoing capability;

To enable the orderly upgrading or expansion of base activities, facilities or
infrastructure, to enhance existing or support emerging capability;

To manage spatially, planned changes to base activities, facilities or
infrastructure;

To locate compatible activities together;

To separate incompatible activities to avoid conflicts;

To assist with the Site Selection Process for the physical location for new
activities, buildings or infrastructure; and

To provide for the highest and best use of land.

Precincts
The location of significant or critical infrastructure projects that are approved and programmed
for future delivery are identified in this plan using site or use specific precincts.
Areas of special interest or that require additional management requirements/controls are
identified as separate precincts.
Insert applicable precincts (i.e. Heritage Precinct, HNA Precinct)
