Development in the land use table that may be carried out without consent is nevertheless subject to the environmental assessment and approval requirements of Part 5 of the Act or, if applicable, Part 3A of the Act.3Schedule 3 sets out complying development (for which a complying development certificate may be issued as an alternative to obtaining development consent).4Clause 2.6 requires consent for subdivision of land.5Part 5 contains other provisions which require consent for particular development.
2.4 Unzoned land
(1) Development may be carried out on unzoned land only with consent.(2) Before granting consent, the consent authority:(a) must consider whether the development will impact on adjoining zoned land and, if so, consider the objectives for development in the zones of the adjoining land, and(b) must be satisfied that the development is appropriate and is compatible with permissible land uses in any such adjoining land.
2.5 Additional permitted uses for particular land
(1) Development on particular land that is described or referred to in Schedule 1 may be carried out:(a) with consent, orin accordance with the conditions (if any) specified in that Schedule in relation to that development.(b) if the Schedule so provides—without consent,(2) This clause has effect despite anything to the contrary in the Land Use Table or other provision of this Plan.
2.6 Subdivision—consent requirements
(1) Land to which this Plan applies may be subdivided, but only with consent.(2) However, consent is not required for a subdivision for the purpose only of any one or more of the following:(a) widening a public road,(b) a minor realignment of boundaries that does not create:(i) additional lots or the opportunity for additional dwellings, or(ii) lots that are smaller than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to the land concerned,(c) a consolidation of lots that does not create additional lots or the opportunity for additional dwellings,(d) rectifying an encroachment on a lot,(e) creating a public reserve,(f) excising from a lot land that is, or is intended to be, used for public purposes, including drainage purposes, rural fire brigade or other emergency service purposes or public toilets.Note—If a subdivision is exempt development, the Act enables the subdivision to be carried out without consent.
2.6A Demolition requires consent
The demolition of a building or work may be carried out only with consent.Note—If the demolition of a building or work is identified in State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 as exempt development, the Act enables it to be carried out without consent.
2.6B Temporary use of land
(1) The objective of this clause is to provide for the temporary use of land if the use does not compromise future development of the land, or have detrimental economic, social, amenity or environmental effects on the land.(2) Despite any other provision of this Plan, development consent may be granted for development on land in any zone for a temporary purpose for a maximum period of 12 days (whether or not consecutive days) in any period of 12 months.(3) Development consent must not be granted unless the consent authority is satisfied that:(a) the temporary use will not prejudice the subsequent carrying out of development on the land in accordance with this Plan and any other applicable environmental planning instrument, and(b) the temporary use will not adversely impact on any adjoining land or the amenity of the neighbourhood, and(c) the temporary use and location of any structures related to the use will not adversely impact on environmental attributes or features of the land, or increase the risk of natural hazards that may affect the land, and(d) at the end of the temporary use period the site will, as far as is practicable, be restored to the condition in which it was before the commencement of the use.

3.2 Complying development
Note—Under section 76A of the Act, development consent for the carrying out of complying development may be obtained by the issue of a complying development certificate.The section states that development cannot be complying development if:(a) it is on land that is critical habitat of an endangered species, population or ecological community (identified under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 or the Fisheries Management Act 1994), or(b) it is on land within a wilderness area (identified under the Wilderness Act 1987), or(c) the development is designated development, or(d) the development is on land that comprises, or on which there is, an item of environmental heritage (that is listed on the State Heritage Register or in Schedule 5 to this Plan or that is subject to an interim heritage order under the Heritage Act 1977), or(e) the development requires concurrence (except a concurrence of the Director-General of the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water in respect of development that is likely to significantly affect a threatened species, population, or ecological community, or its habitat (identified under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995), or(f) the development is on land identified as an environmentally sensitive area.(1) The objective of this clause is to identify development as complying development.(2) Development specified in Part 1 of Schedule 3 that is carried out in compliance with:(a) the development standards specified in relation to that development, andis complying development.(b) the requirements of this Part,Note—See also clause 5.8 (3) which provides that the conversion of fire alarms is complying development in certain circumstances.(3) To be complying development, the development must:(a) be permissible, with consent, in the zone in which it is carried out, and(b) meet the relevant deemed-to-satisfy provisions of the Building Code of Australia, and(c) have an approval, if required by the Local Government Act 1993, from the Council for an on-site effluent disposal system if the development is undertaken on unsewered land.(4) A complying development certificate for development specified in Part 1 of Schedule 3 is subject to the conditions (if any) set out in Part 2 of that Schedule.(4A) A heading to an item in Schedule 3 is part of that Schedule.
3.3 Environmentally sensitive areas excluded
(1) Exempt or complying development must not be carried out on any environmentally sensitive area for exempt or complying development.(2) For the purposes of this clause:environmentally sensitive area for exempt or complying development means any of the following:(a) the coastal waters of the State,(b) a coastal lake,(c) land to which State Environmental Planning Policy No 14—Coastal Wetlands or State Environmental Planning Policy No 26—Littoral Rainforests applies,(d) land reserved as an aquatic reserve under the Fisheries Management Act 1994 or as a marine park under the Marine Parks Act 1997,(e) land within a wetland of international significance declared under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands or within a World heritage area declared under the World Heritage Convention,(f) land within 100 metres of land to which paragraph (c), (d) or (e) applies,(g) land identified in this or any other environmental planning instrument as being of high Aboriginal cultural significance or high biodiversity significance,(h) land reserved as a state conservation area under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974,(i) land reserved or dedicated under the Crown Lands Act 1989 for the preservation of flora, fauna, geological formations or for other environmental protection purposes,(j) land identified as being critical habitat under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 or Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994.
Part 4 Principal development standards
4.1 Minimum subdivision lot size
(1) The objectives of this clause are as follows:(a) to promote consistent subdivision and development patterns in zones.(2) This clause applies to a subdivision of any land shown on the Lot Size Map that requires development consent and that is carried out after the commencement of this Plan.(3) The size of any lot resulting from a subdivision of land to which this clause applies is not to be less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land.(4) This clause does not apply in relation to the subdivision of individual lots in a strata plan or community title scheme.(4A) Despite subclause (3), the size of a lot for the purposes of a dual occupancy must not be less than:(a) for dual occupancy (attached)—750 square metres, and(b) for dual occupancy (detached)—900 square metres.
4.2 Rural subdivision
[Not applicable]
4.3 Height of buildings
(1) The objectives of this clause are as follows:(a) to minimise any overshadowing, loss of privacy and visual impacts of development on neighbouring properties, particularly where zones meet, and(b) to maximise sunlight for the public domain, and(c) to relate development to topography.(2) The height of a building on any land is not to exceed the maximum height shown for the land on the Height of Buildings Map.(2A) Despite subclause (2), the maximum height for multi dwelling housing on land in Zone R2 Low Density Residential is 5 metres.
4.4 Floor space ratio
(1) The objectives of this clause are as follows:(a) to ensure that the bulk and scale of development is compatible with the character of the locality.(2) The maximum floor space ratio for a building on any land is not to exceed the floor space ratio shown for the land on the Floor Space Ratio Map.(2A) Despite subclause (2):(a) the maximum floor space ratio for multi dwelling housing on land in Area 1 on the Floor Space Ratio Map is 0.4:1, and(b) the maximum floor space ratio for a building containing shop top housing on land in Area 2 on the Floor Space Ratio Map is 2.5:1.
4.5 Calculation of floor space ratio and site area
(1) Objectives The objectives of this clause are as follows:(a) to define floor space ratio,(b) to set out rules for the calculation of the site area of development for the purpose of applying permitted floor space ratios, including rules to:(i) prevent the inclusion in the site area of an area that has no significant development being carried out on it, and(ii) prevent the inclusion in the site area of an area that has already been included as part of a site area to maximise floor space area in another building, and(iii) require community land and public places to be dealt with separately.(2) Definition of “floor space ratio” The floor space ratio of buildings on a site is the ratio of the gross floor area of all buildings within the site to the site area.(3) Site area In determining the site area of proposed development for the purpose of applying a floor space ratio, the site area is taken to be:(a) if the proposed development is to be carried out on only one lot, the area of that lot, or(b) if the proposed development is to be carried out on 2 or more lots, the area of any lot on which the development is proposed to be carried out that has at least one common boundary with another lot on which the development is being carried out.In addition, subclauses (4)–(7) apply to the calculation of site area for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio to proposed development.(4) Exclusions from site area The following land must be excluded from the site area:(a) land on which the proposed development is prohibited, whether under this Plan or any other law,(b) community land or a public place (except as provided by subclause (7)).(5) Strata subdivisions The area of a lot that is wholly or partly on top of another or others in a strata subdivision is to be included in the calculation of the site area only to the extent that it does not overlap with another lot already included in the site area calculation.(6) Only significant development to be included The site area for proposed development must not include a lot additional to a lot or lots on which the development is being carried out unless the proposed development includes significant development on that additional lot.(7) Certain public land to be separately considered For the purpose of applying a floor space ratio to any proposed development on, above or below community land or a public place, the site area must only include an area that is on, above or below that community land or public place, and is occupied or physically affected by the proposed development, and may not include any other area on which the proposed development is to be carried out.(8) Existing buildings The gross floor area of any existing or proposed buildings within the vertical projection (above or below ground) of the boundaries of a site is to be included in the calculation of the total floor space for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio, whether or not the proposed development relates to all of the buildings.(9) Covenants to prevent “double dipping” When consent is granted to development on a site comprised of 2 or more lots, a condition of the consent may require a covenant to be registered that prevents the creation of floor area on a lot (the restricted lot) if the consent authority is satisfied that an equivalent quantity of floor area will be created on another lot only because the site included the restricted lot.(10) Covenants affect consolidated sites If:(a) a covenant of the kind referred to in subclause (9) applies to any land (affected land), andthe maximum amount of floor area allowed on the other land by the floor space ratio fixed for the site by this Plan is reduced by the quantity of floor space area the covenant prevents being created on the affected land.(b) proposed development relates to the affected land and other land that together comprise the site of the proposed development,(11) Definition In this clause, public place has the same meaning as it has in the Local Government Act 1993.
