Note—

Section 76 (3) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 does not allow exempt development to occur on critical habitat or a wilderness area.

8Complying development(1)

Development listed in Schedule 2 to Hastings DCP No 36 is complying development in a zone if it is allowed with development consent in the zone by being included in Item 2 of the matter for the zone in the table to clause 9.

(2)

Development is complying development only if:

  • (a)

    it meets the applicable requirements specified in Hastings DCP No 36 applying to the development, and

  • (b)

    in the case of development involving a building, the building complies with the deemed-to-satisfy provisions of the Building Code of Australia, except where provided for in Schedule 2 of Hastings DCP No 36, and

    no environmental planning instrument states that the adequacy of an acid sulfate soils management plan for the proposed development must be considered before consent can be granted for it, and

  • (f)

    where it will result in the doing of anything referred to in section 78A (3) of the Act for which an approval is required or in the removal of a tree or native vegetation for which an approval or consent is required, that approval or consent has been obtained, and

    Note—

    Section 78A (3) of the Act refers to development applications involving an associated approval under section 68 of the Local Government Act 1993.

  • (g)

    A provision under subsection (5) cannot be made:

    • (a)

      if the development is State significant development, or

    • (b)

      if the development is designated development, or

    • (c)

      if the development is development for which development consent cannot be granted except with the concurrence of a person other than:

        the Director-General of National Parks and Wildlife as referred to in section 79B (3), or

        that is subject to an interim heritage order under the Heritage Act 1977, or that is listed on the State Heritage Register under that Act, or

      • (ii)

        that is identified as such an item in an environmental planning instrument, or

    • (g)

      so as to apply to land that is identified as an environmentally sensitive area in the environmental planning instrument that makes provision for the complying development.

    A provision made under subsection (5) has no effect in relation to development or land at any time during which the development or land is development or land to which paragraph (a)–(g) applies.

(3)

A complying development certificate must include the conditions specified in Hastings Development Control Plan No 36—Exempt and Complying Development, as in force when the certificate is issued, that are applicable to the particular type of development for which the certificate is sought.

Objectives:

  • (a)

    To minimise potential flood damage by ensuring that only appropriate development occurs on flood liable land.

  • (b)

    To ensure that appropriate tourist-related land uses are permissible within the zone.

(2)

Despite any other provision of this plan, a person must not develop land within Zone 2 (t2) if the development would result in habitable floor levels that are less than 800 mm above the 1 in 100 year flood level. The only exception to this requirement is where a ring levee is provided in accordance with clause 25.

(3)

Despite any other provision of this plan, a person must not develop land within Zone 2 (t2) if the development would result in an increase in the number of permanent residents occupying the land.

  • (b)

    is required to provide services or training facilities predominantly for industries or persons employed within Zone 4 (t).

(2)

Consent must not be granted to the carrying out of development for the purpose of a depot, light industry, liquid fuel depot, public building or warehouse within Zone 4 (t) unless the consent authority is satisfied that the development is better suited to being located within Zone 4 (t) than any other industrial zone.

(2)

If a condition referred to in subclause (1) allows consent to be granted only within a specified period from the date of gazettal of an environmental planning instrument, consent must not be granted after the expiration of that period (or after such later date as the Minister may, before expiration of that period, notify by order published in the Gazette).

(3)

The consent authority may decline to grant a consent required by this clause unless it has considered a conservation plan that enables the consent authority to fully consider the heritage significance of the heritage item and the impact of the proposed development on the significance of the heritage item and its setting.

Note—

The website of the Heritage Branch of the Department of Planning has publications that provide guidance on assessing the impact of proposed development on the heritage significance of items (for example, Statements of Heritage Impact).

34Development in the vicinity of heritage items

Consent must not be granted to development on land in the vicinity of a heritage item unless the consent authority has made an assessment of the effect the carrying out of that development will have on the heritage significance of the item and its setting.

(Repealed)

36Conservation incentives(1)

Nothing in this plan prevents the granting of consent to the use for any purpose of a building that is a heritage item, or of land on which a building that is a heritage item is erected, if the consent authority is satisfied that:

37Archaeological significance(1)

This clause applies to land identified on the zoning map as a potential archaeological site.

(2)

Where the consent authority receives an application for consent to carry out development involving the excavation or filling of land, or the erection or demolition of buildings on land, to which this clause applies, it must not grant consent unless it has considered a report which includes an assessment of how the proposed development would affect the archaeological significance of the site.

Part 10AUrban release areas37AArrangements for designated State public infrastructure(1)

The objective of this clause is to require satisfactory arrangements to be made for the provision of designated State public infrastructure before the subdivision of land in an urban release area to satisfy needs that arise from development on the land, but only if the land is developed intensively for urban purposes.

(2)

Development consent must not be granted for the subdivision of land in an urban release area if the subdivision would create a lot smaller than the minimum lot size permitted on the land immediately before the land became, or became part of, an urban release area, unless the Director-General has certified in writing to the consent authority that satisfactory arrangements have been made to contribute to the provision of designated State public infrastructure in relation to that lot.
