19 Floor space ratio
The maximum floor space ratio for a building on any land within the Sydney Olympic Park site is not to exceed the floor space ratio shown for the land on the Floor Space Ratio Map.
20 Calculation of floor space ratio and site area
|
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. |
| State Environmental Planning Policy (Major Development) Amendment | 2009 No 494 |
| (Sydney Olympic Park) 2009 |
| Amendment of State Environmental Planning Policy (Major Development) | Schedule 1 |
| 2005 |
| (2) | Definition of “floor space ratio” | |||
| The floor space ratio of buildings on a site is the ratio of the gross floor area of all buildings within the site to the site area. | ||||
| (3) | Site area | |||
| In determining the site area of proposed development for the purpose of applying a floor space ratio, the site area is taken to be: | ||||
| ||||
| In addition, subclauses (4)–(6) apply to the calculation of site area for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio to proposed development. | ||||
| (4) | Strata subdivisions | |||
| 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. | ||||
| (5) | Only significant development to be included | |||
| 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. | ||||
| (6) | Existing buildings | |||
| 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. | ||||
| (7) | Covenants to prevent “double dipping” | |||
| When 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 in favour of a prescribed authority within the meaning of section 88E of the Conveyancing Act 1919 that prevents the creation of floor area on a lot (the restricted lot) if the |
| 2009 No 494 | State Environmental Planning Policy (Major Development) Amendment (Sydney Olympic Park) 2009 |
| Schedule 1 | Amendment of State Environmental Planning Policy (Major Development) 2005 |
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.
| (8) | Covenants affect consolidated sites | |||
| If: | ||||
| ||||
| the maximum amount of floor area allowed on the other land by the floor space ratio fixed for the site by this Part is reduced by the quantity of floor space area the covenant prevents being created on the affected land. |
21 Exceptions to development standards—Part 3A projects
(1) A development standard imposed by this or any other environmental planning instrument on development that is part of a project to which Part 3A of the Act applies, and is within the Sydney Olympic Park site, does not apply to that development if the Director-General is satisfied, and issues a certificate to the effect, that:
| (a) | compliance with the development standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances of the case, and |
| (b) | there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify exempting the development from that development standard. |
| (2) | In deciding whether to issue a certificate, the Director-General must consider: | |||||

| (b) | to achieve better outcomes for and from development by allowing flexibility in particular circumstances. |
| (3) | 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. | |||
| (4) | 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: | |||

|
(i) the applicant’s written request has adequately addressed the matters required to be demonstrated by subclause (4), and
