67 Land use and development policies will aim first at avoiding biting insect exposure by establishing and maintaining effective separation distances between breeding areas and development, particularly urban residential. Where justified, this may include engineering measures to eradicate breeding sites that would otherwise put people at risk of suffering major nuisance or serious illness. Previously utilised techniques such as repeated applications of chemicals, delivered by regular fogging will not be an acceptable biting insect control strategy, given the potential for indiscriminate and severe environment impacts (possibly including introduced health hazards for residents) and the ongoing cost.
