Despite any other provision of this Precinct 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 Precinct Plan and this or 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 site 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).

(6)

(i)

prevent the inclusion in the site area of an area that has no significant development being carried out on it, and

State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth Centres)

2011 No 550

Amendment (Area 20 Precinct) 2011

Amendment of State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region

(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.

(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:

(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 the site area for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio to proposed development.

(4)

Exclusions from site area

The following land must be excluded from the site area:

(a)

land on which the proposed development is prohibited, whether under this Precinct Plan or any other law,

(b)

community land or a public place (except as provided by subclause (7)).

(5)

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.

(6)

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.

(7)

Certain public land to be separately considered

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.

(8)

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.

(9)

Covenants to prevent “double dipping”

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.

(10)

Covenants affect consolidated sites

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 Precinct Plan is reduced by the quantity of floor space area the covenant prevents being created on the affected land.

Definition

In this clause, public place has the same meaning as it has in the

(b)

to achieve better outcomes for and from development by allowing flexibility in particular circumstances.

(2)

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.

(3)

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.

(4)

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 Director-General has been obtained.

(5)

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 environmental planning, and

(c)

any other matters required to be taken into consideration by the Director-General before granting concurrence.

(6)

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 E2 Environmental Conservation, Zone E3 Environmental Management or Zone E4 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.

Note. When this Precinct Plan was made it did not include any of these zones other than Zone E2 Environmental Conservation.

(7)

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).

(8)

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,

Classification 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, 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 Precinct Plan to discharge trusts on which public reserves are held if the land is reclassified under this Precinct Plan as operational land.

(2)

The public land described in Part 1 or Part 2 of Schedule 4 to this Appendix 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 to this Appendix 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)

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).

Note. 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 to this Appendix.
