2.2 Zoning of land to which Plan applies

For the purposes of this Plan, land is within the zones shown on the Land Zoning Map.

2.3 Zone objectives and Land Use Table

(1)  The Land Use Table at the end of this Part specifies for each zone:

(a)  the objectives for development, and

(b)  development that may be carried out without consent, and

(c)  development that may be carried out only with consent, and

(d)  development that is prohibited.

(2)  The consent authority must have regard to the objectives for development in a zone when determining a development application in respect of land within the zone.

(3)  In the Land Use Table at the end of this Part:

(a)  a reference to a type of building or other thing is a reference to development for the purposes of that type of building or other thing, and

(b)  a reference to a type of building or other thing does not include (despite any definition in this Plan) a reference to a type of building or other thing referred to separately in the Land Use Table in relation to the same zone.

(4)  This clause is subject to the other provisions of this Plan.

Notes—

1 Schedule 1 sets out additional permitted uses for particular land.

2 Schedule 2 sets out exempt development (which is generally exempt from both Parts 4 and 5 of the Act). 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.

3 Schedule 3 sets out complying development (for which a complying development certificate may be issued as an alternative to obtaining development consent).

4 Clause 2.6 requires consent for subdivision of land.

5 Part 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, or

(b)  if the Schedule so provides—without consent,

in accordance with the conditions (if any) specified in that Schedule in relation to that development.

(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.

2.6AA 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 an applicable environmental planning instrument, such as this Plan or State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, as exempt development, the Act enables it to be carried out without consent.

2.6BB 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 use for a maximum period of 52 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 land will, as far as is practicable, be restored to the condition in which it was before the commencement of the use.

(4)  Despite subclause (2), the temporary use of a dwelling as a sales office for a new release area or a new housing estate may exceed the maximum number of days specified in that subclause.

(5)  Subclause (3) (d) does not apply to the temporary use of a dwelling as a sales office mentioned in subclause (4).

(c)  cannot be carried out in a wilderness area (identified under the Wilderness Act 1987).

(1)  The objective of this clause is to identify development of minimal environmental impact as exempt development.

(2)  Development specified in Schedule 2 that meets the standards for the development contained in that Schedule and that complies with the requirements of this Part is exempt development.

(3)  To be exempt development, the development:

(a)  must meet the relevant deemed-to-satisfy provisions of the Building Code of Australia or, if there are no such relevant provisions, must be structurally adequate, and

(b)  must not, if it relates to an existing building, cause the building to contravene the Building Code of Australia, and

(c)  must not be designated development, and

(d)  must not be carried out on land that comprises, or on which there is, an item that is listed on the State Heritage Register under the Heritage Act 1977 or that is subject to an interim heritage order under the Heritage Act 1977.

(4)  Development that relates to an existing building that is classified under the Building Code of Australia as class 1b or class 2–9 is exempt development only if:

(a)  the building has a current fire safety certificate or fire safety statement, or

(b)  no fire safety measures are currently implemented, required or proposed for the building.

(5)  To be exempt development, the development must:

(a)  be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, if applicable, and

(b)  not involve the removal or pruning of a tree or other vegetation that requires a permit or development consent for removal or pruning, unless that removal or pruning is undertaken in accordance with a permit or development consent.

Note—

A permit for the removal or pruning of a tree or other vegetation may be granted under this Plan. A development consent for the removal of native vegetation may be granted where relevant under the Native Vegetation Act 2003.

(6)  A heading to an item in Schedule 2 is part of that Schedule.

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, and

(b)  the requirements of this Part,

is complying development.

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.

(5)  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.

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 when the description of the land is inserted into that Part and 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).

Note—

In accordance with section 30 (2) of the Local Government Act 1993, the approval of the Governor to subclause (5) applying to the public land concerned is required before the description of the land is inserted in Part 2 of Schedule 4.

5.3 Development near zone boundaries

(1)  The objective of this clause is to provide flexibility where the investigation of a site and its surroundings reveals that a use allowed on the other side of a zone boundary would enable a more logical and appropriate development of the site and be compatible with the planning objectives and land uses for the adjoining zone.

(2)  This clause applies to so much of any land that is within the relevant distance of a boundary between any 2 zones. The relevant distance is 20 metres.
