Queanbeyan Local Environmental Plan (West Jerrabomberra) 2013 (NSW)
Standard Instrument (Local Environmental Plans) Amendment (Land Use Zones) Order 2021 (650), Sch 3 (not commenced — to commence on 1.12.2022)
Planning Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This Plan is Queanbeyan Local Environmental Plan (West Jerrabomberra) 2013.
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 the City of Queanbeyan at West Jerrabomberra in accordance with the relevant standard environmental planning instrument under section 3.20 of the Act.
The particular aims of this Plan are as follows—
(aa) to protect and promote the use and development of land for arts and cultural activity, including music and other performance arts,
(a) to rezone certain land at West Jerrabomberra to achieve economically, environmentally and socially sustainable urban development that complements and provides a range of facilities for the benefit of the adjoining Jerrabomberra community,
(b) to facilitate the orderly growth of the West Jerrabomberra urban release area in a staged manner that promotes a high level of amenity for workers and the timely provision of physical and social infrastructure through appropriate phasing of the development of land,
(c) to identify, protect and manage environmentally and culturally sensitive areas within West Jerrabomberra, including but not limited to waterways and riparian corridors, habitat corridors, native vegetation and associated buffers, and heritage items,
(d) to provide appropriate employment and community land use opportunities consistent with the environmental capacity of the land,
(e) to provide appropriate controls for future development to minimise any adverse impact on the adjoining Jerrabomberra community.
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 local plan-making authority 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 local plan-making authority when the instruments are made.
(Repealed)
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 NSW Planning Portal. 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 website of the Department of Planning and Environment.
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.
This Plan is subject to the provisions of any State environmental planning policy that prevails over this Plan as provided by section 3.28 of the Act.
The following State environmental planning policies (or provisions) do not apply to the land to which this Plan applies—
The land use zones under this Plan are as follows—
• Rural Zones RU2 Rural Landscape
• Business Zones B1 Neighbourhood Centre
B7 Business Park
• Industrial Zones IN2 Light Industrial
• Recreation Zones RE2 Private Recreation
• Conservation Zones C2 Environmental Conservation
For the purposes of this Plan, land is within the zones shown on the Land Zoning Map.
The Land Use 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 development consent, and
(c) development that may be carried out only with development 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 Land Use 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 Land Use Table in relation to the same zone.
This clause is subject to the other provisions of this Plan.
Schedule 1 sets out additional permitted uses for particular land.
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.
Schedule 3 sets out complying development (for which a complying development certificate may be issued as an alternative to obtaining development consent).
Clause 2.6 requires consent for subdivision of land.
Part 5 contains other provisions which require consent for particular development.
Development may be carried out on unzoned land only with development consent.
In deciding whether to grant development 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 development consent, or
(b) if the Schedule so provides—without development 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 development consent.
If a subdivision is specified as
Part 6 of State
Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes)
2008 provides that the strata subdivision of a building in certain circumstances is
Development consent must not be granted for the subdivision of land on which a secondary dwelling is situated if the subdivision would result in the principal dwelling and the secondary dwelling being situated on separate lots, unless the resulting lots are not less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land.
The definition of
The demolition of a building or work may be carried out only with development consent.
If the demolition of a building or work is identified in an applicable environmental planning instrument, such as this Plan or State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, as exempt development, the Act enables it to be carried out without development 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 for development on land in any zone for a 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 environmental planning instrument, and
(b) the temporary use will 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 land 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 as a sales office for a new release area or a new housing estate may exceed the maximum number of days specified in that subclause.
Subclause (3) (d) does not apply to the temporary use of a dwelling as a sales office mentioned in subclause (4).

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 or, if there are no such relevant provisions, must be structurally adequate, 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.
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.
To be exempt development, the development must—
(a) be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, if applicable, and
(b) not involve the removal, pruning or other clearing of vegetation that requires a permit, development consent or other approval unless it is undertaken in accordance with a permit, development consent or other approval.
See State Environmental Planning Policy (Biodiversity and Conservation) 2021, Chapter 2 and the Local Land Services Act 2013, Part 5A.
A heading to an item in Schedule 2 is part of that Schedule.
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 development 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 or referred to in Part 2 of that Schedule.
A heading to an item in Schedule 3 is 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 within the coastal wetlands and littoral rainforests area (within the meaning of the Coastal Management Act 2016),
(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 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 or land acquired under Part 11 of that Act,
(i) land reserved or dedicated under the Crown Land Management Act 2016 for the preservation of flora, fauna, geological formations or for other environmental protection purposes,
(j) land that is a declared area of outstanding biodiversity value under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 or declared critical habitat under Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994.
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to ensure that the creation of lots is sensitive to land, heritage and environmental characteristics (including water quality, native flora and fauna and places or items of Aboriginal or European heritage value),
(b) to ensure that the creation of lots does not adversely affect the function and safety of main roads,
(c) to provide lots that have areas and dimensions that enable the appropriate siting and construction of a building and associated works in order to minimise and avoid the threat of natural hazards (including bush fire, soil instability and flooding), and to protect significant vegetation and prominent or significant landscape qualities,
(d) to ensure that lots have access to an adequate water supply, can be provided with an effective means of waste disposal and can be adequately serviced,
(e) to create lots that are compatible with the existing predominant lot pattern or desired future character of the locality and to minimise the likely adverse impacts on the amenity of adjoining developments.
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 any land—
(a) by the registration of a strata plan or strata plan of subdivision under the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015, or
(b) by any kind of subdivision under the Community Land Development Act 2021.
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to ensure that the creation of lots is sensitive to land, heritage and environmental characteristics (including water quality, native flora and fauna and places or items of Aboriginal or European heritage value),
(b) to ensure that the creation of lots does not adversely affect the function and safety of main roads,
(c) to provide lots that have areas and dimensions that enable the appropriate siting and construction of a building and associated works in order to minimise and avoid the threat of natural hazards (including bush fire, soil instability and flooding), and to protect significant vegetation and prominent or significant landscape qualities,
(d) to ensure that lots have access to an adequate water supply, can be provided with an effective means of waste disposal and can be adequately serviced,
(e) to create lots that are compatible with the existing predominant lot pattern or desired future character of the locality and to minimise the likely adverse impacts on the amenity of adjoining developments.
This clause applies to a subdivision (being a subdivision that requires development consent) under the Community Land Development Act 2021 of land in any of the following zones—
(a) Zone B1 Neighbourhood Centre,
(b) Zone B7 Business Park,
(c) Zone RE2 Private Recreation,
(d) Zone E2 Environmental Conservation,
but does not apply to a subdivision by the registration of a strata plan.
The size of any lot resulting from a subdivision of land to which this clause applies (other than any lot comprising association property within the meaning of the Community Land Development Act 2021) is not to be less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land.
This clause applies despite clause 4.1.
[Not applicable]
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to ensure that buildings are compatible with the existing and desired future character of the locality,
(b) to minimise visual impact, overshadowing, disruption of views, loss of privacy and loss of solar access to existing development,
(c) to ensure that buildings do not adversely affect the streetscape, skyline or landscape when viewed from adjoining local, classified or collector roads or other public places such as parks or community facilities.
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 as follows—
(a) to ensure that buildings are compatible with the bulk and scale of the existing and desired future character of the locality,
(b) to reduce the visual impact of development by limiting floor space to ensure that the building bulk and scale is appropriate for the site,
(c) to ensure that buildings do not adversely affect the streetscape, skyline or landscape when viewed from adjoining local, classified or collector roads or other public places such as parks or community facilities.
The maximum floor space ratio for a building on any land is not to exceed the floor space ratio shown for the land on the Floor Space Ratio Map.
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to define
floor space ratio ,(b) to set out rules for the calculation of the site area of development for the purpose of applying permitted floor space ratios, including rules to—
(i) prevent the inclusion in the site area of an area that has no significant development being carried out on it, and
(ii) prevent the inclusion in the site area of an area that has already been included as part of a site area to maximise floor space area in another building, and
(iii) require community land and public places to be dealt with separately.
The
In determining the site area of proposed development for the purpose of applying a floor space ratio, the
(a) if the proposed development is to be carried out on only one lot, the area of that lot, or
(b) if the proposed development is to be carried out on 2 or more lots, the area of any lot on which the development is proposed to be carried out that has at least one common boundary with another lot on which the development is being carried out.
In addition, subclauses (4)–(7) apply to the calculation of site area for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio to proposed development.
The following land must be excluded from the site area—
(a) land on which the proposed development is prohibited, whether under this Plan or any other law,
(b) community land or a public place (except as provided by subclause (7)).
The area of a lot that is wholly or partly on top of another or others in a strata subdivision is to be included in the calculation of the site area only to the extent that it does not overlap with another lot already included in the site area calculation.
The site area for proposed development must not include a lot additional to a lot or lots on which the development is being carried out unless the proposed development includes significant development on that additional lot.
For the purpose of applying a floor space ratio to any proposed development on, above or below community land or a public place, the site area must only include an area that is on, above or below that community land or public place, and is occupied or physically affected by the proposed development, and may not include any other area on which the proposed development is to be carried out.
The gross floor area of any existing or proposed buildings within the vertical projection (above or below ground) of the boundaries of a site is to be included in the calculation of the total floor space for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio, whether or not the proposed development relates to all of the buildings.
When development consent is granted to development on a site comprised of 2 or more lots, a condition of the consent may require a covenant to be registered that prevents the creation of floor area on a lot (the restricted lot) if the consent authority is satisfied that an equivalent quantity of floor area will be created on another lot only because the site included the restricted lot.
If—
(a) a covenant of the kind referred to in subclause (9) applies to any land (
affected land ), and(b) proposed development relates to the affected land and other land that together comprise the site of the proposed development,
the maximum amount of floor area allowed on the other land by the floor space ratio fixed for the site by this Plan is reduced by the quantity of floor space area the covenant prevents being created on the affected land.
In this clause,
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to provide an appropriate degree of flexibility in applying certain development standards to particular development,
(b) to achieve better outcomes for and from development by allowing flexibility in particular circumstances.
Development 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.
Development 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.
Development 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 Planning Secretary has been obtained.
In deciding whether to grant concurrence, the Planning Secretary 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 Planning Secretary before granting concurrence.
Development consent must not be granted under this clause for a subdivision of land in Zone RU1 Primary Production, Zone RU2 Rural Landscape, Zone RU3 Forestry, Zone RU4 Primary Production Small Lots, Zone RU6 Transition, Zone R5 Large Lot Residential, Zone C2 Environmental Conservation, Zone C3 Environmental Management or Zone C4 Environmental Living 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.
When this Plan was made it did not include all of these zones.
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 development 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,
(caa) clause 5.5.
The objective of this clause is to identify, for the purposes of section 3.15 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 2.5 of the Act |
Zone SP2 Infrastructure and marked “Classified road” | Transport for NSW |
Zone C1 National Parks and Nature Reserves and marked “National Park” | Minister administering the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 |
When this Plan was made it did not include all of these zones.
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 and certain Crown land). 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 Land Management Act 2016).
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 in Zone RE1 Public Recreation, Zone C1 National Parks and Nature Reserves, Zone C2 Environmental Conservation, Zone C3 Environmental Management or Zone 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.
When this Plan was made it did not include all of these zones.
Despite the provisions of this Plan relating to the purposes for which development may be carried out, development 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.
