Part 2Permitted or prohibited development2.1Land use zones

The land use zones under this Plan are as follows—

  • Conservation Zones

    C2 Environmental Conservation

    C3 Environmental Management

    C4 Environmental Living

2.2Zoning of land to which Plan applies

For the purposes of this Plan, land is within the zones shown on the Land Zoning Map.

2.3Zone objectives and Land Use Table(1)

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.

(2)

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.

(3)

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.

(4)

This clause is subject to the other provisions of this Plan.

Notes.

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.

2.4Unzoned land(1)

Development may be carried out on unzoned land only with development consent.

(2)

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.

2.5Additional permitted uses for particular land(1)

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.

(2)

This clause has effect despite anything to the contrary in the Land Use Table or other provision of this Plan.

2.6Subdivision—consent requirements(1)

Land to which this Plan applies may be subdivided, but only with development consent.

Notes.

If a subdivision is specified as exempt development in an applicable environmental planning instrument, such as this Plan or State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, the Act enables it to be carried out without development consent.

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 complying development.

(2)

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.

Note.

The definition of secondary dwelling in the Dictionary requires the dwelling to be on the same lot of land as the principal dwelling.

2.7Demolition requires development consent

The demolition of a building or work may be carried out only with development consent.

Note.

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.

2.8Temporary use of land(1)

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.

(2)

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.

(3)

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.

(4)

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.

(5)

Subclause (3) (d) does not apply to the temporary use of a dwelling as a sales office mentioned in subclause (4).

2.9Canal estate development prohibited(1)

Canal estate development is prohibited on land to which this Plan applies.

(2)

In this Plan, canal estate development means development that involves—

    • (ii)

      excavation to create a waterway.

(3)

Canal estate development does not include development for the purposes of drainage or the supply or treatment of water if the development is—

  • (a)

    carried out by or with the authority of a person or body responsible for the drainage, supply or treatment, and

  • (b)

    limited to the minimum reasonable size and capacity.

(4)

In this clause—

flood planning area has the same meaning as in clause 5.21.

Part 5Miscellaneous provisions5.1Relevant acquisition authority(1)

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 (the owner-initiated acquisition provisions).

Note.

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.

(2)

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

Note.

When this Plan was made it did not include any of these zones.

(3)

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.

5.2Classification and reclassification of public land(1)

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.

Note.

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.

(2)

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.

(3)

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.

(4)

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.

(5)

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)
