Penrith Local Environmental Plan (Caddens) 2009 (NSW)
I, the Minister for Planning, make the following local environmental plan under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. (SRW0000138/PC-1)
Minister for Planning
The Standard Instrument (Local Environmental Plans) Order 2006 sets out matters to be included in standard local environmental plans. While this Plan is not a standard local environmental plan, standard clauses have been included in this Plan and the clause numbering from that Order has been retained. This means that the numbering in this Plan may contain some gaps. Additional provisions have been inserted and are numbered accordingly.
This Plan is Penrith Local Environmental Plan (Caddens) 2009.
This Plan commences on the day on which it is published on the NSW legislation website.
This Plan aims to make local environmental planning provisions for land in Penrith City known as Caddens Release Area.
The particular aims of this Plan are as follows:
(a) to ensure development incorporates the principles of sustainable development through the delivery of balanced social, economic and environmental outcomes,
(b) to encourage development to be designed in a way which assists in the mitigation of, and the adaptation to, the likely impacts of climate change,
(c) to protect items of environmental value, particularly mature vegetation, significant watercourses, significant buildings and gardens and scenic landscapes and views,
(d) to promote a high standard of urban design that responds appropriately to the existing and desired future character of areas,
(e) to promote development that creates a range of business, employment, education and training opportunities, suitable to the needs and skills of the residents and the workforce,
(f) to protect the environmental heritage of the area including places of historic, aesthetic, architectural, natural, cultural and Aboriginal significance,
(g) to protect views and vistas to and from main roads, heritage items and other vantage points.
This Plan applies to the land identified on the Land Application Map.
The Dictionary at the end of this Plan defines words and expressions for the purposes of this Plan.
Notes in this Plan are provided for guidance and do not form part of this Plan.
The consent authority for the purposes of this Plan is (subject to the Act) the Council.
A reference in this Plan to a named map adopted by this Plan is a reference to a map by that name:
(a) approved by the Minister when the map is adopted, and
(b) as amended or replaced from time to time by maps declared by environmental planning instruments to amend or replace that map, and approved by the Minister when the instruments are made.
Any 2 or more named maps may be combined into a single map. In that case, a reference in this Plan to any such named map is a reference to the relevant part or aspect of the single map.
Any such maps are to be kept and made available for public access in accordance with arrangements approved by the Minister.
For the purposes of this Plan, a map may be in, and may be kept and made available in, electronic or paper form, or both.
The maps adopted by this Plan are to be made available on the official NSW legislation website in connection with this Plan. Requirements relating to the maps are set out in the documents entitled Standard technical requirements for LEP maps and Standard requirements for LEP GIS data which are available on the Department of Planning’s website.
All local environmental plans and deemed environmental planning instruments applying only to the land to which this Plan applies are repealed.
All local environmental plans and deemed environmental planning instruments applying to the land to which this Plan applies and to other land cease to apply to the land to which this Plan applies.
If a development application has been made before the commencement of this Plan in relation to land to which this Plan applies and the application has not been finally determined before that commencement, the application must be determined as if this Plan had not commenced.
This Plan is subject to the provisions of any State environmental planning policy and any regional environmental plan that prevail over this Plan as provided by section 36 of the Act.
Section 36 of the Act generally provides that SEPPs prevail over REPs and LEPs and that REPs prevail over LEPs. However, a LEP may (by an additional provision included in the Plan) displace or amend a SEPP or REP to deal specifically with the relationship between this Plan and the SEPP or REP.
The following State environmental planning policies and regional environmental plans (or provisions) do not apply to the land to which this Plan applies:
• State Environmental Planning Policy No 1—Development Standards
• State Environmental Planning Policy No 4—Development Without Consent and Miscellaneous Exempt and Complying Development (clause 6 and Parts 3 and 4)
• State Environmental Planning Policy No 60—Exempt and Complying Development
• Sydney Regional Environmental Plan No 25—Orchard Hills
For the purpose of enabling development on land in any zone to be carried out in accordance with this Plan or with a development consent granted under the Act, any agreement, covenant or other similar instrument that restricts the carrying out of that development does not apply to the extent necessary to serve that purpose.
This clause does not apply:
(a) to a covenant imposed by the Council or that the Council requires to be imposed, or
(b) to any prescribed instrument within the meaning of section 183A of the Crown Lands Act 1989, or
(c) to any conservation agreement within the meaning of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974, or
(d) to any Trust agreement within the meaning of the Nature Conservation Trust Act 2001, or
(e) to any property vegetation plan within the meaning of the Native Vegetation Act 2003, or
(f) to any biobanking agreement within the meaning of Part 7A of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, or
(g) to any planning agreement within the meaning of Division 6 of Part 4 of the Act.
This clause does not affect the rights or interests of any public authority under any registered instrument.
Under section 28 of the Act, the Governor, before the making of this clause, approved of subclauses (1)–(3).
The land use zones under this Plan are as follows:
• Residential Zones R1 General Residential
R3 Medium Density Residential
• Business Zones B2 Local Centre
• Special Purpose Zones SP1 Special Activities
SP2 Infrastructure
• Recreation Zones RE1 Public Recreation
• Environment Protection Zones E2 Environmental Conservation
For the purposes of this Plan, land is within the zones shown on the Land Zoning Map.
The 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.
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.
In the 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 Table in relation to the same zone.
This clause is subject to the other provisions of this Plan.
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.
Development may be carried out on unzoned land only with consent.
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.
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.
This clause has effect despite anything to the contrary in the Land Use Table or other provision of this Plan.
Land to which this Plan applies may be subdivided, but only with consent.
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.
If a subdivision is exempt development, the Act enables the subdivision to be carried out without consent.
The demolition of a building or work may be carried out only with consent.
If the demolition of a building or work is identified in State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 as exempt development, the Act enables it to be carried out without consent.
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.
Despite any other provision of this Plan, development consent may be granted to development on land in any zone for any temporary use for a maximum period of 52 days (whether or not consecutive days) in any period of 12 months.
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 instrument, and
(b) the temporary use does 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 site will, as far as is practicable, be restored to the condition in which it was before the commencement of the use.
Despite subclause (2), the temporary use of a dwelling in an exhibition village as a sales office may exceed 52 days (whether or not consecutive days) in any period of 12 months, and in that case subclause (3) (d) applies only to restoration as a dwelling at the end of the temporary use.

Under section 76 of the Act, exempt development may be carried out without the need for development consent under Part 4 of the Act or for assessment under Part 5 of the Act.
The section states that exempt development:
(a) must be of minimal environmental impact, and
(b) cannot be carried out in critical habitat of an endangered species, population or ecological community (identified under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 or the Fisheries Management Act 1994), and
(c) cannot be carried out in a wilderness area (identified under the Wilderness Act 1987).
The objective of this clause is to identify development of minimal environmental impact as exempt development.
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.
To be exempt development, the development:
(a) must meet the relevant deemed-to-satisfy provisions of the Building Code of Australia, 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, and
(e) must not be carried out in an environmentally sensitive area for exempt or complying development (as defined in clause 3.3).
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.
A heading to an item in Schedule 2 is taken to be part of that Schedule.
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 and Climate Change 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.
The objective of this clause is to identify development as complying development.
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.
See also clause 5.8 (3) which provides that the conversion of fire alarms is complying development in certain circumstances.
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.
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.
A heading to an item in Schedule 3 is taken to be part of that Schedule.
Exempt or complying development must not be carried out on any environmentally sensitive area for exempt or complying development.
For the purposes of this clause:
(a) the coastal waters of the State,
(b) a coastal lake,
(c) land to which State Environmental Planning Policy No 14—Coastal Wetlands or State Environmental Planning Policy No 26—Littoral Rainforests applies,
(d) land reserved as an aquatic reserve under the Fisheries Management Act 1994 or as a marine park under the Marine Parks Act 1997,
(e) land within a wetland of international significance declared under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands or within a World heritage area declared under the World Heritage Convention,
(f) land within 100 metres of land to which paragraph (c), (d) or (e) applies,
(g) land identified in this or any other environmental planning instrument as being of high Aboriginal cultural significance or high biodiversity significance,
(h) land reserved as a state conservation area under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974,
(i) land reserved or dedicated under the Crown Lands Act 1989 for the preservation of flora, fauna, geological formations or for other environmental protection purposes,
(j) land identified as being critical habitat under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 or Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994.
The objectives of this clause are as follows:
(a) to ensure lot sizes are compatible with the environmental capabilities of the land being subdivided,
(b) to minimise any likely impact of subdivision and development on the amenity of neighbouring properties,
(c) to ensure that lot sizes and dimensions allow development to be sited to protect natural or cultural features including heritage items and retain special features such as trees and views,
(d) to regulate the density of development and ensure there is not an unreasonable increase in demand for public services or public facilities,
(e) to ensure that lot sizes and dimensions are able to accommodate development consistent with relevant development controls.
This clause applies to a subdivision of any land shown on the Lot Size Map that requires development consent and that is carried out after the commencement of this Plan.
The size of any lot resulting from a subdivision of land to which this clause applies is not to be less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land.
This clause does not apply in relation to the subdivision of individual lots in a strata plan or community title scheme.
The objectives of this clause are as follows:
(a) to ensure that buildings are compatible with the height, bulk and scale of the existing and desired future character of the locality,
(b) to minimise visual impact, disruption of views, loss of privacy and loss of solar access to existing development and to public areas, including parks, streets and lanes,
(c) to minimise the adverse impact of development on heritage conservation areas and heritage items,
(d) to nominate heights that will provide a transition in built form and land use intensity.
The height of a building on any land is not to exceed the maximum height shown for the land on the Height of Buildings Map.
The objectives of this clause are:
(a) to provide an appropriate degree of flexibility in applying certain development standards to particular development, and
(b) to achieve better outcomes for and from development by allowing flexibility in particular circumstances.
Consent may, subject to this clause, be granted for development even though the development would contravene a development standard imposed by this or any other environmental planning instrument. However, this clause does not apply to a development standard that is expressly excluded from the operation of this clause.
Consent must not be granted for development that contravenes a development standard unless the consent authority has considered a written request from the applicant that seeks to justify the contravention of the development standard by demonstrating:
(a) that compliance with the development standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances of the case, and
(b) that there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify contravening the development standard.
Consent must not be granted for development that contravenes a development standard unless:
(a) the consent authority is satisfied that:
(i) the applicant’s written request has adequately addressed the matters required to be demonstrated by subclause (3), and
(ii) the proposed development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the particular standard and the objectives for development within the zone in which the development is proposed to be carried out, and
(b) the concurrence of the Director-General has been obtained.
In deciding whether to grant concurrence, the Director-General must consider:
(a) whether contravention of the development standard raises any matter of significance for State or regional environmental planning, and
(b) the public benefit of maintaining the development standard, and
(c) any other matters required to be taken into consideration by the Director-General before granting concurrence.
Consent must not be granted under this clause for a subdivision of land in Zone E2 Environmental Conservation if:
(a) the subdivision will result in 2 or more lots of less than the minimum area specified for such lots by a development standard, or
(b) the subdivision will result in at least one lot that is less than 90% of the minimum area specified for such a lot by a development standard.
After determining a development application made pursuant to this clause, the consent authority must keep a record of its assessment of the factors required to be addressed in the applicant’s written request referred to in subclause (3).
This clause does not allow consent to be granted for development that would contravene any of the following:
(a) a development standard for complying development,
(b) a development standard that arises, under the regulations under the Act, in connection with a commitment set out in a BASIX certificate for a building to which State Environmental Planning Policy (Building Sustainability Index: BASIX) 2004 applies or for the land on which such a building is situated,
(c) clause 5.4.
This clause does not allow consent to be granted for development that would contravene clause 6.1 or 6.2.
The objective of this clause is to identify, for the purposes of section 27 of the Act, the authority of the State that will be the relevant authority to acquire land reserved for certain public purposes if the land is required to be acquired under Division 3 of Part 2 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 (
If the landholder will suffer hardship if there is any delay in the land being acquired by the relevant authority, section 23 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 requires the authority to acquire the land.
The authority of the State that will be the relevant authority to acquire land, if the land is required to be acquired under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions, is the authority of the State specified below in relation to the land shown on the Land Reservation Acquisition Map (or, if an authority of the State is not specified in relation to land required to be so acquired, the authority designated or determined under those provisions).
Type of land shown on Map | Authority of the State |
Zone RE1 Public Recreation and marked “Local open space” | Council |
Zone RE1 Public Recreation and marked “Regional open space” | The corporation constituted under section 8 of the Act |
Zone SP2 Infrastructure and marked “Classified road” | Roads and Traffic Authority |
Zone SP2 Infrastructure and marked “Water cycle management facility” | Council |
Zone E1 National Parks and Nature Reserves and marked “National Park” | Minister administering the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 |
If land, other than land specified in the Table to subclause (2), is required to be acquired under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions, the Minister for Planning is required to take action to enable the designation of the acquiring authority under this clause. Pending the designation of the acquiring authority for that land, the acquiring authority is to be the authority determined by order of the Minister for Planning (see section 21 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991).
Development on land acquired by an authority of the State under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions may, before it is used for the purpose for which it is reserved, be carried out, with development consent, for any purpose.
The objective of this clause is to enable the Council 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
This clause does not apply to:
(a) land zoned RE1 Public Recreation, E1 National Parks and Nature Reserves, E2 Environmental Conservation, E3 Environmental Management or W1 Natural Waterways, or
(b) land within the coastal zone, or
(c) land proposed to be developed for the purpose of sex services or restricted premises.
Despite the provisions of this Plan relating to the purposes for which development may be carried out, consent may be granted to development of land to which this clause applies for any purpose that may be carried out in the adjoining zone, but only if the consent authority is satisfied that:
(a) the development is not inconsistent with the objectives for development in both zones, and
(b) the carrying out of the development is desirable due to compatible land use planning, infrastructure capacity and other planning principles relating to the efficient and timely development of land.
The clause does not prescribe a development standard that may be varied under this Plan.
If development for the purposes of bed and breakfast accommodation is permitted under this Plan, the accommodation that is provided to guests must consist of no more than 3 bedrooms.
If development for the purposes of a home business is permitted under this Plan, the carrying on of the business must not involve the use of more than 30 square metres of floor area.
If development for the purposes of a home industry is permitted under this Plan, the carrying on of the light industry must not involve the use of more than 50 square metres of floor area.
If development for the purposes of an industrial retail outlet is permitted under this Plan, the retail floor area must not exceed:
(a) 25% of the combined gross floor area of the industrial retail outlet and the building or place on which the relevant industry is carried out, or
(b) 500 square metres,
whichever is the lesser.
If development for the purposes of farm stay accommodation is permitted under this Plan, the accommodation that is provided to guests must consist of no more than 3 bedrooms.
If development for the purposes of a kiosk is permitted under this Plan, the gross floor area must not exceed 50 square metres.
If development for the purposes of a neighbourhood shop is permitted under this Plan, the retail floor area must not exceed 200 square metres.
If development for the purposes of a roadside stall is permitted under this Plan, the gross floor area must not exceed 20 square metres.
If development for the purposes of a secondary dwelling is permitted under this Plan, the total floor area of the dwelling (excluding any area used for parking) must not exceed whichever of the following is the greater:
(a) 60 square metres,
(b) 10% of the total floor area of both the self-contained dwelling and the principal dwelling.
This clause applies to a fire alarm system that can be monitored by New South Wales Fire Brigades or by a private service provider.
The following development may be carried out, but only with consent:
(a) converting a fire alarm system from connection with the alarm monitoring system of New South Wales Fire Brigades to connection with the alarm monitoring system of a private service provider,
(b) converting a fire alarm system from connection with the alarm monitoring system of a private service provider to connection with the alarm monitoring system of another private service provider,
(c) converting a fire alarm system from connection with the alarm monitoring system of a private service provider to connection with a different alarm monitoring system of the same private service provider.
Development to which subclause (2) applies is complying development if it consists only of:

In this clause:
The objective of this clause is to preserve the amenity of the area through the preservation of trees and other vegetation.
This clause applies to species or kinds of trees or other vegetation that are prescribed for the purposes of this clause by a development control plan made by the Council.
A development control plan may prescribe the trees or other vegetation to which this clause applies by reference to species, size, location or other manner.
A person must not ringbark, cut down, top, lop, remove, injure or wilfully destroy any tree or other vegetation to which any such development control plan applies without the authority conferred by:
(a) development consent, or
(b) a permit granted by the Council.
The refusal by the Council to grant a permit to a person who has duly applied for the grant of the permit is taken for the purposes of the Act to be a refusal by the Council to grant consent for the carrying out of the activity for which a permit was sought.
This clause does not apply to a tree or other vegetation that the Council is satisfied is dying or dead and is not required as the habitat of native fauna.
This clause does not apply to a tree or other vegetation that the Council is satisfied is a risk to human life or property.
A permit under this clause cannot allow any ringbarking, cutting down, topping, lopping, removal, injuring or destruction of a tree or other vegetation:
(a) that is or forms part of a heritage item, or
(b) that is within a heritage conservation area.
As a consequence of this subclause, the activities concerned will require development consent. The heritage provisions of clause 5.10 will be applicable to any such consent.
This clause does not apply to or in respect of:
(a) the clearing of native vegetation that is authorised by a development consent or property vegetation plan under the Native Vegetation Act 2003 or that is otherwise permitted under Division 2 or 3 of Part 3 of that Act, or
(b) the clearing of vegetation on State protected land (within the meaning of clause 4 of Schedule 3 to the Native Vegetation Act 2003) that is authorised by a development consent under the provisions of the Native Vegetation Conservation Act 1997 as continued in force by that clause, or
(c) trees or other vegetation within a State forest, or land reserved from sale as a timber or forest reserve under the Forestry Act 1916, or
(d) action required or authorised to be done by or under the Electricity Supply Act 1995, the Roads Act 1993 or the Surveying Act 2002, or
(e) plants declared to be noxious weeds under the Noxious Weeds Act 1993.
Heritage items, heritage conservation areas and archaeological sites (if any) are shown on the Heritage Map. The location and nature of any such item, area or site is also described in Schedule 5.
The objectives of this clause are:
(a) to conserve the environmental heritage of Penrith City, and
(b) to conserve the heritage significance of heritage items and heritage conservation areas including associated fabric, settings and views, and
(c) to conserve archaeological sites, and
(d) to conserve places of Aboriginal heritage significance.
Development consent is required for any of the following:
(a) demolishing or moving a heritage item or a building, work, relic or tree within a heritage conservation area,
(b) altering a heritage item or a building, work, relic, tree or place within a heritage conservation area, including (in the case of a building) making changes to the detail, fabric, finish or appearance of its exterior,
(c) altering a heritage item that is a building by making structural changes to its interior,
(d) disturbing or excavating an archaeological site while knowing, or having reasonable cause to suspect, that the disturbance or excavation will or is likely to result in a relic being discovered, exposed, moved, damaged or destroyed,
(e) disturbing or excavating a heritage conservation area that is a place of Aboriginal heritage significance,
(f) erecting a building on land on which a heritage item is located or that is within a heritage conservation area,
(g) subdividing land on which a heritage item is located or that is within a heritage conservation area.
However, consent under this clause is not required if:
(a) the applicant has notified the consent authority of the proposed development and the consent authority has advised the applicant in writing before any work is carried out that it is satisfied that the proposed development:
(i) is of a minor nature, or is for the maintenance of the heritage item, archaeological site, or a building, work, relic, tree or place within a heritage conservation area, and
(ii) would not adversely affect the significance of the heritage item, archaeological site or heritage conservation area, or
(b) the development is in a cemetery or burial ground and the proposed development:
(i) is the creation of a new grave or monument, or excavation or disturbance of land for the purpose of conserving or repairing monuments or grave markers, and
(ii) would not cause disturbance to human remains, relics, Aboriginal objects in the form of grave goods, or to a place of Aboriginal heritage significance, or
(c) the development is limited to the removal of a tree or other vegetation that the Council is satisfied is a risk to human life or property, or
(d) the development is exempt development.
The consent authority must, before granting consent under this clause, consider the effect of the proposed development on the heritage significance of the heritage item or heritage conservation area concerned. This subclause applies regardless of whether a heritage impact statement is prepared under subclause (5) or a heritage conservation management plan is submitted under subclause (6).
The consent authority may, before granting consent to any development on land:
(a) on which a heritage item is situated, or
(b) within a heritage conservation area, or
(c) within the vicinity of land referred to in paragraph (a) or (b),
require a heritage impact statement to be prepared that assesses the extent to which the carrying out of the proposed development would affect the heritage significance of the heritage item or heritage conservation area concerned.
The consent authority may require, after considering the significance of a heritage item and the extent of change proposed to it, the submission of a heritage conservation management plan before granting consent under this clause.
The consent authority must, before granting consent under this clause to the carrying out of development on an archaeological site (other than land listed on the State Heritage Register or to which an interim heritage order under the Heritage Act 1977 applies):
(a) notify the Heritage Council of its intention to grant consent, and
(b) take into consideration any response received from the Heritage Council within 28 days after the notice is sent.
The consent authority must, before granting consent under this clause to the carrying out of development in a place of Aboriginal heritage significance:
(a) consider the effect of the proposed development on the heritage significance of the place and any Aboriginal object known or reasonably likely to be located at the place, and
(b) notify the local Aboriginal communities (in such way as it thinks appropriate) about the application and take into consideration any response received within 28 days after the notice is sent.
The consent authority must, before granting consent for the demolition of a heritage item identified in Schedule 5 as being of State significance (other than an item listed on the State Heritage Register or to which an interim heritage order under the Heritage Act 1977 applies):
(a) notify the Heritage Council about the application, and
(b) take into consideration any response received from the Heritage Council within 28 days after the notice is sent.
The consent authority may grant consent to development for any purpose of a building that is a heritage item, or of the land on which such a building is erected, even though development for that purpose would otherwise not be allowed by this Plan, if the consent authority is satisfied that:
(a) the conservation of the heritage item is facilitated by the granting of consent, and
(b) the proposed development is in accordance with a heritage conservation management plan that has been approved by the consent authority, and
(c) the consent to the proposed development would require that all necessary conservation work identified in the heritage conservation management plan is carried out, and
(d) the proposed development would not adversely affect the heritage significance of the heritage item, including its setting, and
(e) the proposed development would not have any significant adverse effect on the amenity of the surrounding area.
Bush fire hazard reduction work authorised by the Rural Fires Act 1997 may be carried out on any land without consent.
The Rural Fires Act 1997 also makes provision relating to the carrying out of development on bush fire prone land.
This Plan does not restrict or prohibit, or enable the restriction or prohibition of, the carrying out of any development, by or on behalf of a public authority, that is permitted to be carried out without consent under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007.
This Plan does not restrict or prohibit, or enable the restriction or prohibition of, the use of existing buildings of the Crown by the Crown.
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.
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.
Subclause (2) does not apply to:
(a) any lot identified in the certificate as a residue lot, or
(b) any lot created by a subdivision previously consented to in accordance with this clause, or
(c) any lot that is proposed in the development application to be reserved or dedicated for public open space, public roads, public utility undertakings, educational facilities or any other public purpose, or
(d) a subdivision for the purpose only of rectifying an encroachment on any existing lot.
This clause does not apply to land in an urban release area if the whole or any part of it is in a special contributions area (as defined by section 93C of the Act).
Development consent must not be granted for development on land in an urban release area unless the Council is satisfied that any public utility infrastructure that is essential for the proposed development is available or that adequate arrangements have been made to make that infrastructure available when required.
This clause does not apply to development for the purpose of providing, extending, augmenting, maintaining or repairing any public utility infrastructure.
The objective of this clause is to ensure that development on land in an urban release area occurs in a logical and cost-effective manner, in accordance with a staging plan and only after a development control plan including specific controls has been prepared for the land.
Development consent must not be granted for development on land in an urban release area unless a development control plan that provides for the matters specified in subclause (3) has been prepared for the land.
The development control plan must provide for all of the following:
(a) a staging plan for the timely and efficient release of urban land making provision for necessary infrastructure and sequencing,
(b) an overall transport movement hierarchy showing the major circulation routes and connections to achieve a simple and safe movement system for private vehicles, public transport, pedestrians and cyclists,
(c) an overall landscaping strategy for the protection and enhancement of riparian areas and remnant vegetation, including visually prominent locations, and detailed landscaping requirements for both the public and private domain,
(d) a network of passive and active recreational areas,
(e) stormwater and water quality management controls,
(f) amelioration of natural and environmental hazards, including bush fire, flooding and site contamination,
(g) detailed urban design controls for significant development sites,
(h) measures to encourage higher density living around transport, open space and service nodes,
(i) measures to accommodate and control appropriate neighbourhood commercial and retail uses,
(j) suitably located public facilities and services, including provision for appropriate traffic management facilities and parking.
Subclause (2) does not apply to any of the following development:
(a) a subdivision for the purpose of a realignment of boundaries that does not create additional lots,
(b) a subdivision of land if the lot that is proposed to be created is to be reserved or dedicated for public open space, public roads or any other public or environmental protection purpose,
(c) a subdivision of land in a zone in which the erection of structures is prohibited,
(d) proposed development on land that is of a minor nature only, if the consent authority is of the opinion that the carrying out of the proposed development would be consistent with the objectives of the zone in which the land is situated.
A provision of this Part prevails over any other provision of this Plan to the extent of any inconsistency.
The objective of this clause is to ensure that sustainability principles are incorporated into the design and construction processes for all development, to provide well designed comfortable homes and workplaces that use resources efficiently throughout their lifecycle and meet the needs of the community.
Development consent must not be granted for development, other than BASIX affected development, unless the consent authority has considered each of the following principles of sustainable development as they relate to the proposed development, based on a “whole of building approach”:
(a) conserving energy and reducing carbon dioxide emissions,
(b) embodied energy in materials and building processes,
(c) building design and orientation,
(d) passive solar design and day lighting,
(e) natural ventilation,
(f) energy efficiency and conservation,
(g) water conservation and water reuse,
(h) waste minimisation and recycling,
(i) reduction of car dependence,
(j) potential for adaptive reuse.
The objectives of this clause are as follows:
(a) to maintain the existing flood regime and flow conveyance capacity,
(b) to enable safe occupation and evacuation of land subject to flooding,
(c) to avoid significant adverse impacts on flood behaviour,
(d) to avoid significant effects on the environment that would cause avoidable erosion, siltation, destruction of riparian vegetation or a reduction in the stability of river banks or watercourses,
(e) to limit uses to those compatible with flow conveyance function and flood hazard.
This clause applies to land shown as “flood planning land” on the Flood Planning Map.
Development consent is required for any development on land to which this clause applies.
Development consent must not be granted for development on land to which this clause applies unless the consent authority is satisfied that the development will not:
(a) adversely affect flood behaviour resulting in detrimental increases in the potential flood affectation of other development or properties, or
(b) significantly alter flow distributions and velocities to the detriment of other properties or the environment of the floodplain, or
(c) affect the safe occupation or evacuation of the land, or
(d) significantly detrimentally affect the floodplain environment or cause avoidable erosion, siltation, destruction of riparian vegetation or a reduction in the stability of river banks or watercourses, or
(e) be likely to result in unsustainable social and economic costs to the community as a consequence of flooding, or
(f) if located in a floodway:
(i) be incompatible with the flow conveyance function of the floodway, or
(ii) cause or increase a flood hazard in the floodway.
The objective of this clause is to retain the existing hierarchy of local centres by imposing size limitations on certain types of premises.
On land within Zone B2 Local Centre on the Land Zoning Map, the gross floor area of all business premises, office premises and retail premises must not exceed 10,000 square metres in total.
Despite any other provision of this Plan, development consent for the purposes of an exhibition home may only be granted for a maximum period of 2 years.
