Schedule 3 Petrol 1 Definitions
In this Schedule:
consent authority, development application and
development consent have the same meanings as they have
in the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
petrol station means a building or place used for the fuelling
of motor vehicles involving the sale by retail of petrol,
whether or not any other fuel or other product is sold there
and whether or not the building or place is used for any other
purpose, but does not include a place where the primary
business is the hiring, leasing or sale of motor vehicles.2 Product information standard
The product information standard for regular unleaded petrol supplied at a petrol station is that the price at which that petrol is supplied to retail customers at the petrol station must be disclosed by being displayed at the petrol station on one or more signs (petrol price signs) that comply with the following requirements:
(a)
a petrol price sign must be so positioned and lit that any price and other matter that it displays will be readily seen by motorists approaching the petrol station at any time that the petrol station is open for business for the supply of petrol,
(b)
a price displayed on a petrol price sign must be a price per litre of petrol.
