Before making a recommendation for the listing of an item on the State Heritage Register, the Heritage Council must follow this procedure—

    the Heritage Council is to give notice that it is going to consider whether or not to recommend the listing of the item concerned (a notice of intention to consider listing)—

    • (i)

      by written notice given to each person that it considers to be an affected owner or occupier (except in the case of the listing of a precinct), or

    • (ii)

      in the case of the listing of a precinct, by notice published in a manner that the Heritage Council is satisfied is likely to bring the notice to the attention of affected owners or occupiers and of members of the public, and

  • (b)

    within 14 days after notice of intention to consider listing is given under paragraph (a) (i), the Heritage Council is to cause a notice of intention to consider listing to be published in a manner that the Heritage Council is satisfied is likely to bring the notice to the attention of members of the public in the area in which the item is situated, and

  • (c)

    a notice of intention to consider listing is to invite submissions on the listing and is to specify a date as the closing date for the receipt of submissions (being a date that is at least 14 days after notice under paragraph (a) (ii) or (b) was first published) and the manner in which submissions may be made, and

  • (d)

    the Heritage Council is to consider the submissions that are received before the closing date for receipt of submissions and is to decide within 30 days after that closing date whether or not to recommend the listing, and

  • (e)

    the Heritage Council is to give notice of its decision in the same manner as it is required to give notice of its intention to consider listing under paragraph (a) and is also to give notice to the council of the area in which the item is situated and to each of the persons who made submissions that were considered, and

  • (f)

    if the decision of the Heritage Council is to recommend the listing, the Heritage Council is to make that recommendation to the Minister within 14 days after notice is given of the decision under paragraph (e).

  • (c)

    a submission that the item the subject of the proposed recommendation should not be subject to listing on the State Heritage Register by reason that listing would render the item incapable of reasonable or economic use,

  • (d)

    a submission that conservation of the item the subject of the proposed recommendation could not be achieved without causing undue financial hardship to the owner, mortgagee or lessee of the item or the land on which the item is situated.

(3)

The Heritage Council must not make a decision to recommend the listing of an item on the State Heritage Register unless it considers that—

  • (a)

    the item satisfies more than one of the criteria approved as referred to in section 4A for determining whether an item is of State heritage significance, or

  • (b)

    if it satisfies only one of those criteria, the item is of such particular significance that it should be listed.

(4)

  • (a)

    whether the long-term conservation of the item is necessary,

  • (b)

    whether the listing would render the item incapable of reasonable or economic use,

62Process for determination of application(1)

In determining an application for approval in respect of an item or land, the approval body shall take into consideration—

  • (a)

    the extent to which that application, if approved, would affect the significance of any item as an item of the environmental heritage,

  • (b)

    the representations, if any, made with respect to that application under section 61 (3),

  • (c)

    such matters relating to the conservation of that item or land as to it seem relevant, and

    such other matters as to it seem relevant.

(2)

s 62: Am 1998 No 138, Sch 1 [21]–[24]; 2009 No 34, Sch 1 [29]; 2020 No 30, Sch 1.24[1] [2].

63Determination of application(1)

Except as provided by subsection (2), the approval body may determine an application for approval by granting approval to that application, either unconditionally or subject to conditions, or by refusing approval.

(1A)

The determination of an application for approval in relation to integrated development is subject to Division 5 of Part 4 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

(2)

Where—

  • (a)

    an application for approval is made to demolish the whole of a building or work, or

  • (b)

    an application for approval is made which would, if it were approved, necessitate the demolition of the whole of a building or work,

the approval body shall determine that application by refusing approval.

(3)

Nothing in subsection (2) prevents the approval body from approving an application referred to in that subsection if—

  • (a)

    it is of the opinion that the building or work constitutes a danger to the users or occupiers of that building or work, the public or a section of the public, or

  • (b)

    it is a condition of the approval that the building or work be relocated on other land, or

  • (c)

    the building or work is situated (whether wholly or partly) in a place or precinct that is an item of State heritage significance, but is not itself such an item, and the approval body is of the opinion that the demolition of the whole of the building or work will not have a materially detrimental effect on the heritage significance of the place or precinct.

(4)

Without limiting or restricting the power of the approval body to impose conditions under subsection (1), it may, in granting approval to an application for approval, impose, as a condition of its approval, a condition—

  • (a)

    that the applicant give security in such form and such amount as is determined by the approval body having regard to the nature and extent of the work referred to in the approval to ensure the satisfactory completion of that work, and

  • (b)

    that where the approval is to the demolition, in whole or in part, of a building or work, such measures as are specified in the approval be taken in the interests of public safety and convenience with respect to the demolition.

63ADeferred commencement approvals(1)

An approval may be granted subject to a condition that it is not to operate until the applicant for the approval satisfies the approval body as to any matter specified in the condition (a deferred commencement approval).

(2)

Nothing in this Act prevents a person from doing such things as may be necessary to comply with the condition.

(3)

A deferred commencement approval must be clearly identified as a deferred commencement approval (whether by the use of that expression or by reference to this section or otherwise).

(4)

A deferred commencement approval must clearly distinguish conditions concerning matters as to which the approval body must be satisfied before the approval can operate from any other conditions.

(5)

An approval body may specify the period within which the applicant must produce evidence to the approval body sufficient enough to enable it to be satisfied as to those matters.

(6)

The applicant may produce evidence to the approval body sufficient to enable it to be satisfied as to those matters and, if the approval body has specified a period for the purpose, the evidence must be produced within that period.

(7)

If the applicant produces evidence in accordance with this section, the approval body must notify the applicant whether or not it is satisfied as to the relevant matters.

(8)

If the approval body has not notified the applicant within the period of 28 days after the applicant’s evidence is produced to it, the approval body is, for the purposes only of sections 70 and 70A, taken to have notified the applicant that it is not satisfied as to those matters on the date on which that period expires.

s 63A: Ins 2001 No 65, Sch 1 [7].

63BPartial and conditional approvals(1)

An approval may be granted—

  • (c)

    any thing associated with that act, matter or thing or the doing or carrying out of that act, matter or thing,

must be the subject of another approval.

s 63B: Ins 2001 No 65, Sch 1 [7].

64Notice of determination(1)

The approval body shall give notice in writing of its determination of an application for approval to the applicant.

(2)

Where the approval body determines an application for approval by granting approval subject to conditions or by refusing approval, the notice shall—

  • (a)

    indicate the reasons for the determination, and

  • (b)

    except in relation to the determination of an application referred to in section 63 (2) which is required to be determined by refusing approval, notify the applicant that he or she has a right of appeal under this Act against the determination.

s 64: Am 1998 No 138, Sch 1 [21].

65Effect of failure to make determination(1)

Where the approval body has not determined an application for approval (other than an application for approval in respect of integrated development) within a period of 40 days, or, where public notice of that application has been given under section 61, within a period of 60 days, after service of that application on it, it shall, for the purposes only of section 70, be deemed to have determined that application by refusing approval.

(2)

Nothing in subsection (1) prevents the approval body from determining an application after the expiration of the period referred to in subsection (1) in relation to that application.

(3)

The determination of an application as referred to in subsection (2) shall not, where an appeal in respect of that application has been made under section 70, prejudice or affect the making, continuance or determination of that appeal.

(4)

The regulations may prescribe periods of time that are not to be taken into account in calculating the expiration of the periods referred to in subsection (1) in circumstances where the approval body has requested the applicant to provide it with additional information relating to the application.

s 65: Am 1997 No 152, Sch 4.13 [6]; 1998 No 138, Sch 1 [21]; 2020 No 30, Sch 1.24[3].

65AModification of approvals(1)

On application in the approved form by any person entitled to act on an approval, the approval body may modify the approval—

  • (a)

    so as to vary any aspect of the original approval, but only if it is satisfied that the act, matter or thing authorised by the modified approval is substantially the same as the act, matter or thing authorised by the original approval, or

  • (b)

    so as to correct a minor error, misdescription or miscalculation.

(2)

The provisions of sections 61, 62, 64 and 65 apply to an application under subsection (1) (a) in the same way as they apply to an application for an approval, but do not apply to or in respect of an application under subsection (1) (b).

(3)

For the purposes of this section—

  • (a)

    the Minister is taken to be the approval body in relation to an approval granted by the Minister as a result of an appeal under Division 4, and

  • (b)

    the Court is taken to be the approval body in relation to an approval granted by the Court as a result of an appeal under Division 4,

but, in either case, the application for modification of the approval is to be lodged not with the Minister or Court but with the approval body to whom the application for original approval was made.

(4)

Modification of an approval under this section is not to be construed as the granting of an approval, but a reference in this or any other Act to an approval includes a reference to the modified approval.
