(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 6 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 6 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 6:

(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 6, 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 6, 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 6, 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 6, the Governor approved of subclause (5) applying to the land.

32B Development on land that may be affected by salinity

(1)  The Council must not grant consent to development on land if, in the opinion of the Council:

(a)  it is likely that the land has saline soil, or

(b)  the development may cause the soil on the land to become, or become more, saline,

unless it has considered a salinity management report in relation to the development.

(2)  A salinity management report is a report that recommends measures to be adopted, as part of proposed development, to reduce:

(a)  any existing soil salinity, or any impact of that salinity, on the land concerned, and

(b)  the likelihood and impact of the soil becoming, or becoming more, saline as a result of the development.

(3)  The salinity management report is to include measures that are based on the following principles (to the extent relevant):

(a)  the removal of any native vegetation should be minimised,

(b)  deep-rooted species of vegetation that are salt tolerant and able to reduce ground water levels should be planted,

(c)  footings of buildings should be constructed so as not to impede groundwater movement,

(d)  building materials that are resistant to salt effects should be used in building works,

(e)  surface water infiltration should be reduced by constraining irrigation systems,

(f)  roadways, utility services and other infrastructure should be located so as to reduce:

(2)  The Minister is not to make such an order unless the Minister is satisfied that the land shown as being in the 8 (b) zone on Sheet 4 of the relevant map:

(a)  is vested in the State of New South Wales or a public authority of the State of New South Wales, and

(b)  is reserved under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 or is held for the purpose of being so reserved.

(3)  For the avoidance of doubt:

(a)  nothing in this clause affects the zone applying to any land shown distinctively coloured on Sheet 1 of the relevant map, and

(b)  until such time as the Minister makes an order under this clause, the zone applying to any land shown distinctively coloured on Sheet 4 of the relevant map is the zone applying to that land immediately before the commencement of Liverpool Local Environmental Plan 1997 (Amendment No 83).

72 Restrictions on heritage items

(1)  Before determining an application for consent involving a heritage item, the Council must consider the extent to which the carrying out of the proposed development would affect the heritage significance of the item and any stylistic or horticultural features of its setting.

(2)  The Council must not consent to development involving a heritage item unless it has considered a statement of heritage impact or a conservation plan relating to the item and the proposed development.

73 Restrictions on development near heritage items

The Council may consent to development on land in the vicinity of a heritage item only if, in the opinion of the Council:

(a)  it would not diminish the heritage significance of the item and its setting, and

(b)  it would be compatible with the existing heritage item in terms of:

(i)  height, scale and proportions, and

(ii)  overall form and massing, including pitch and form of the roof, if any, and

(iii)  the setting, including any building alignment affected, and

(iv)  the colour, texture, style, size and type of finish of the materials to be used on the exterior of the building, if any.

74 Restrictions on development in heritage conservation areas

The Council may consent to the erection of a building or the alteration of an existing building within a heritage conservation area only if:

(a)  it would not diminish the heritage significance of the conservation area, and

(b)  it would be compatible with the existing character of buildings and other items in the conservation area in terms of:

(i)  height, scale and proportions, and

(ii)  overall form and massing, including pitch and form of roof, and

(iii)  the setting, including any building alignment affected, and

(iv)  the colour, texture, size and type of finish of the materials to be used on the exterior of the building, and

(v)  the character, size, proportion and arrangement of door and window openings.

75 Incentives for heritage conservation

(1)  The Council may grant consent to the use, for any purpose, of a building that is a heritage item or is within a heritage conservation area, or is on the site of a heritage item, even though that use would be otherwise prohibited by this plan, but only if it is satisfied that:

(a)  the condition of the building is such that the use of the building for any purpose that is permissible would be impractical or undesirable, and

(b)  the building requires a substantial amount of capital expenditure (other than for maintenance work) in order to conserve the heritage significance of the building, and

(c)  the proposed use of the building is in accordance with a conservation management plan that has been endorsed by the Council, and

(d)  the cost of the conservation work identified in the conservation management plan is such that there is no reasonable possibility that any of the uses of the building that are permissible would be economically viable for the current or any future owner, and

(e)  the granting of consent to the proposed use of the building would ensure that all necessary conservation work identified in the conservation management plan is carried out, and

(f)  the proposed use of the building, if approved, would not affect the heritage significance of the building or its setting, and

(g)  the proposed use of the building would not adversely affect the amenity of the surrounding area, and

(h)  the conservation of the building or its site depends on the Council granting that consent.

(2)  When considering an application for consent to erect a building on land on which there is situated a building which is a heritage item, the Council may, for the purpose of determining the number of parking spaces to be provided on the site, exclude from its calculation of the gross floor space of the buildings erected on the land the floor space of the heritage item, but only if the Council is satisfied that the conservation of the building depends on the Council making the exclusion.

(3)  The provisions of sections 84, 85, 86, 87 (1) and 90 of the Act apply to and in respect of the use of a building or land referred to in this clause in the same way as those provisions apply to and in respect of designated development.

(b)  the Heritage Council has notified the Council that it has no objection to the granting of that consent,

whichever first occurs.

(3)  This clause does not apply to the partial demolition of a heritage item or a building or work within a heritage conservation area if, in the opinion of the Council, the partial demolition will be of a minor nature and will not adversely affect the heritage significance of the heritage item or heritage conservation area in relation to the environmental heritage of the City of Liverpool.

77 Development of known or potential archaeological sites

(1)  The Council may grant consent to the carrying out of development on an archaeological site that has Aboriginal heritage significance (such as a site that is the location of an Aboriginal place or a relic, within the meaning of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974) or a potential archaeological site that is reasonably likely to have Aboriginal heritage significance only if:

(a)  it has considered an assessment of how the proposed development would affect the conservation of the site and any relic known or reasonably likely to be located at the site prepared in accordance with any guidelines for the time being notified to it by the Director-General of National Parks and Wildlife, and

(b)  it has notified the Director-General of its intention to do so and taken into consideration any comments received from the Director-General within 28 days after the notice was sent, and

(c)  it is satisfied that any necessary consent or permission under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 has been granted.
