  • (a)

    that the Secretary has determined under clause 1.6 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 is a land use zone in which equivalent land uses are permitted to those permitted in that named land use zone, or

  • (b)

    if no such determination has been made in respect of the particular zone, that is a land use zone in which (in the opinion of the relevant authority) equivalent land uses are permitted to those permitted in that named land use zone.

(2)

An assessment made by a relevant authority under subclause (1)(b) applies only in respect of the particular development that is proposed to be carried out and more than one such assessment may be made in respect of the same land use zone.

(2A)

Despite subclause (1), in relation to land—

  • (a)

    to which an environmental planning instrument that is not made as provided by section 3.20(2) of the Act applies, and

  • (b)

    to which a draft environmental planning instrument that complies with that section and that has been the subject of community consultation also applies,

a reference in this Policy to a lot or land in a named land use zone is a reference to a lot or land specified in a land use zone that is equivalent to such a zone in the last such draft environmental planning instrument that was the subject of such community consultation.

(2B)

In subclause (2A), community consultation means community consultation under clause 4 of Schedule 1 to the Act or public exhibition under section 66 of the Act (as continued on by clause 12 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000).

Any 2 or more named maps may be combined into a single map. In that case, a reference in this Policy to any such named map is a reference to the relevant part or aspect of the single map.

(3)

Any such maps are to be kept and made available for public access in accordance with arrangements approved by the Minister.

7APreconditions to carrying out certain development

For the purposes of this Policy, and despite any other provision of this Policy, development that is subject to a precondition that must be satisfied before it may be carried out without development consent is not development that may be carried out without development consent under this Policy until the precondition is satisfied.

8Relationship to other environmental planning instrumentsNote—

This clause is subject to section 3.28(4) of the Act.

(1)

Except as provided by subclause (2), if there is an inconsistency between this Policy and any other environmental planning instrument, whether made before or after the commencement of this Policy, this Policy prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.

Note—

Subclause (1) does not prevent a local environmental plan from making provision about development of a kind specified in Part 3 in a particular zone if the provisions of this Policy dealing with development of that kind do not apply in that zone.

(2)

Except as provided by subclauses (3) and (4), if there is an inconsistency between a provision of this Policy and any of the following provisions of another environmental planning instrument, the provision of the other instrument prevails to the extent of the inconsistency—

    clauses 10, 11 and 19 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Coastal Management) 2018,

  • (b)

    all of the provisions of State Environmental Planning Policy (State Significant Precincts) 2005.

(3)

Clause 48B of this Policy prevails over clauses 10 and 11 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Coastal Management) 2018 to the extent of any inconsistency.

(4)

A provision of this Policy that permits development for the purpose of emergency works or routine maintenance works to be carried out without consent, or that provides that development for that purpose is exempt development, prevails over clauses 10 and 11 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Coastal Management) 2018 to the extent of any inconsistency, but only if any adverse effect on the land concerned is restricted to the minimum possible to allow the works to be carried out.

(5)

For the avoidance of doubt, development to which subclause (3) or (4) applies is not declared designated development for the purposes of the Act.

18Additional uses of certain State land permitted(1)

    the adjacent land was prescribed State land when the Secretary issued the certificate.

(3A)

However, subclause (3) does not apply in relation to the development if the adjacent land concerned is no longer prescribed State land because it is—

    a forestry area within the meaning of the Forestry Act 2012, or

  • (b)

    reserved under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974, or

  • (c)

      granting consent for development on a site by reference to site and design features that are more stringent than those identified in a site compatibility certificate for the same site, or

    • (ii)

      refusing to grant consent for development by reference to the consent authority’s own assessment of the compatibility of the development with the surrounding land uses, or
