(1)  The objective of this clause is to enable the Council, by means of this plan, to classify or reclassify public land as “operational land” or “community land” in accordance with Part 2 of Chapter 6 of the Local Government Act 1993.

Note—

Under the Local Government Act 1993, “public land” is generally land vested in or under the control of a council (other than roads, Crown reserves and commons). The classification or reclassification of public land may also be made by a resolution of the Council under section 31, 32 or 33 of the Local Government Act 1993. Section 30 of that Act enables this plan to discharge trusts on which public reserves are held if the land is reclassified under this plan as operational land.

(2)  The public land described in Part 1 or Part 2 of Schedule 4 is classified, or reclassified, as operational land for the purposes of the Local Government Act 1993.

(3)  The public land described in Part 3 of Schedule 4 is classified, or reclassified, as community land for the purposes of the Local Government Act 1993.

(4)  The public land described in Part 1 of Schedule 4:

(a)  does not cease to be a public reserve to the extent (if any) that it is a public reserve, and

(b)  continues to be affected by any trusts, estates, interests, dedications, conditions, restrictions or covenants that affected the land before its classification, or reclassification, as operational land.

(5)  The public land described in Part 2 of Schedule 4, to the extent (if any) that it is a public reserve, ceases to be a public reserve on the commencement of the relevant classification plan and, by the operation of that plan, is discharged from all trusts, estates, interests, dedications, conditions, restrictions and covenants affecting the land or any part of the land, except:

(a)  those (if any) specified for the land in Column 3 of Part 2 of Schedule 4, and

(b)  any reservations that except land out of the Crown grant relating to the land, and

(c)  reservations of minerals (within the meaning of the Crown Lands Act 1989).

(6)  In this clause, the relevant classification plan, in relation to land described in Part 2 of Schedule 4, means this plan or, if the description of the land is inserted into that Part by another environmental planning instrument, that instrument.

(7)  Before the relevant classification plan inserted a description of land into Part 2 of Schedule 4, the Governor approved of subclause (5) applying to the land.

26 Acquisition of land

(1)  The objective of this clause is to identify, for the purposes of section 27 of the Act, the authority of the State that will be the relevant authority to acquire land reserved for certain public purposes if the land is required to be acquired under Division 3 of Part 2 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 (the owner-initiated acquisition provisions).

Note—

If the landholder will suffer hardship if there is any delay in the land being acquired by the relevant authority, section 23 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 requires the authority to acquire the land.

(2)  The authority of the State that will be the relevant authority to acquire land, if the land is required to be acquired under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions, is the authority of the State indicated in Column 2 of the Table to this clause in relation to the land specified in Column 1 of the Table (or, if an authority of the State is not specified in relation to land required to be so acquired, the authority designated or determined under those provisions).

(3)  A reference to vacant land in the Table to this clause is a reference to land on which there are no buildings, except for aviaries, barns, conservatories, cycle sheds, fences, fowl houses, fuel sheds, garages, greenhouses, hay sheds, milking bails, pig sties, private boat houses, stables, summer houses, tool houses or similar buildings.

(c)  the development concerned is not designated development, and

(d)  any use of the land that is authorised if development consent is granted will cease no later than 5 years after consent is granted.

(3)  In determining whether to grant concurrence to proposed development under this clause, the authority of the State must take the following matters into consideration:

(a)  the need to carry out development on the land for the purpose for which it is reserved,

(b)  the imminence of acquisition by the authority of the State,

(c)  the likely additional cost to the authority of the State resulting from the carrying out of the proposed development.

(4)  Before granting consent to proposed development on land to which this clause applies, the consent authority must take the following matters into consideration:

(b)  any impact of the proposed development on existing pedestrian movements,

(c)  any visual impact of the proposed development (including any proposed installation of advertisements).

(5)  Development on land acquired by an authority of the State under clause 26 may, before it is used for the purpose for which it is reserved, be carried out, with consent, for any purpose.
