Notes—
  • 1

    Schedule 1 sets out additional permitted uses for particular land.

  • 2

    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 or, if applicable, Part 3A of the Act.

  • 3

    Schedule 3 sets out complying development (for which a complying development certificate may be issued as an alternative to obtaining development consent).

  • 4

    Clause 2.6 requires consent for subdivision of land.

  • 5

    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 consent.

(2)

Before granting 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 consent, or

  • (b)

    if the Schedule so provides—without 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 consent.

(2)

However, consent is not required for a subdivision for the purpose only of any one or more of the following:

  • (a)

    widening a public road,

  • (b)

    a minor realignment of boundaries that does not create additional lots or the opportunity for additional dwellings,

  • (c)

    a consolidation of lots that does not create additional lots or the opportunity for additional dwellings,

  • (d)

    rectifying an encroachment on a lot,

  • (e)

    creating a public reserve,

  • (f)

    excising from a lot land that is, or is intended to be, used for public purposes, including drainage purposes, rural fire brigade or other emergency service purposes or public toilets.

Note—

If a subdivision is exempt development, the Act enables the subdivision to be carried out without consent.

2.6ADemolition requires consent

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

Note—

If the demolition of a building or work is identified in this Plan or a State Environmental Planning Policy, such as State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, as exempt development, the Act enables it to be carried out without consent.

2.6BTemporary 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 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).

Note—

A type of development referred to in the Land Use Table is a reference to that type of development only to the extent it is not regulated by an applicable State environmental planning policy. The following State environmental planning policies in particular may be relevant to development on land to which this Plan applies:

  • State Environmental Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) 2009 (including provision for secondary dwellings)

Part 3Exempt and complying development3.1Exempt developmentNote—

Under section 76 of the Act, exempt development may be carried out without the need for development consent under Part 4 of the Act or for assessment under Part 5 of the Act.

The section states that exempt development:

  • (a)

    must be of minimal environmental impact, and

  • (b)

    cannot be carried out in critical habitat of an endangered species, population or ecological community (identified under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 or the Fisheries Management Act 1994), and

  • (c)

    cannot be carried out in a wilderness area (identified under the Wilderness Act 1987).

(1)

The objective of this clause is to identify development of minimal environmental impact as exempt development.

(2)

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.

(3)

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.

(4)

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.

(5)

To be exempt development, the development must:

    be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, if applicable, and

  • (b)

    not involve the removal or pruning of a tree or other vegetation that requires a permit or development consent for removal or pruning, unless that removal or pruning is undertaken in accordance with a permit or development consent.

Note—

A permit for the removal or pruning of a tree or other vegetation may be granted under this Plan. A development consent for the removal of native vegetation may be granted where relevant under the Native Vegetation Act 2003.

(6)

A heading to an item in Schedule 2 is part of that Schedule.

3.2Complying developmentNote—

Under section 76A of the Act, development consent for the carrying out of complying development may be obtained by the issue of a complying development certificate.

The section states that development cannot be complying development if:

  • (a)

    it is on land that is critical habitat of an endangered species, population or ecological community (identified under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 or the Fisheries Management Act 1994), or

  • (b)

    it is on land within a wilderness area (identified under the Wilderness Act 1987), or

  • (c)

    the development is designated development, or

  • (d)

    the development is on land that comprises, or on which there is, an item of environmental heritage (that is listed on the State Heritage Register or in Schedule 5 to this Plan or that is subject to an interim heritage order under the Heritage Act 1977), or

  • (e)

    the development requires concurrence (except a concurrence of the Director-General of the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water in respect of development that is likely to significantly affect a threatened species, population, or ecological community, or its habitat (identified under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995)), or

  • (f)

    the development is on land identified as an environmentally sensitive area.

(1)

The objective of this clause is to identify development as complying development.

(2)

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.

Note—

See also clause 5.8 (3) which provides that the conversion of fire alarms is complying development in certain circumstances.

(3)

To be complying development, the development must:

  • (a)

    be permissible, with 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.

(4)

A complying development certificate for development specified in Part 1 of Schedule 3 is subject to the conditions (if any) set out in Part 2 of that Schedule.

(5)

A heading to an item in Schedule 3 is part of that Schedule.

3.3Environmentally sensitive areas excluded(1)

Exempt or complying development must not be carried out on any environmentally sensitive area for exempt or complying development.

(2)

  • (j)

    land identified as being critical habitat under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 or Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994.

Part 4Principal development standards4.3Height of buildings(1)

The objectives of this clause are as follows:

  • (a)

    to establish the maximum height limit within which buildings can be designed and floor space can be achieved,

  • (b)

    to increase development capacity within Bondi Junction Centre to accommodate future retail and commercial floorspace growth,

  • (c)

    to accommodate taller buildings within Zone B3 Commercial Core and provide an appropriate transition in building heights surrounding that zone,

  • (d)

    to limit the height of buildings to protect the environmental amenity of Bondi Junction Centre and surrounding areas.

(2)

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.

4.4Floor space ratio(1)

The objectives of this clause are as follows:

  • (a)

    to establish the maximum development density for land within Bondi Junction Centre,

  • (b)

    to ensure sufficient floor space can be accommodated within Bondi Junction Centre to meet foreseeable future needs,

  • (c)

    to provide an appropriate correlation between maximum building heights and density controls across Bondi Junction Centre.

(2)

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.

4.5Calculation of floor space ratio and site area(1)

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.

(2)

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)

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

(4)

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)).

(5)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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 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)

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.

(11)

In this clause, public place has the same meaning as it has in the Local Government Act 1993.

4.6Exceptions to development standards(1)

The objectives of this clause are:

  • (a)

    to provide an appropriate degree of flexibility in applying certain development standards to particular development, and

  • (b)

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

(2)

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)

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 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 Director-General before granting concurrence.

(6)

[Not applicable]

(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 consent to be granted for development that would contravene any of the following:

  • (a)

    a development standard for complying development,

  • (b)

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

The objective of this clause is to identify, for the purposes of section 27 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 8 of the Act

Zone SP2 Infrastructure and marked “Classified road”

Roads and Traffic Authority

Zone E1 National Parks and Nature Reserves and marked “National Park”

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, 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 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)

  • (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.

  • (c)

    to encourage the integration of the design of the roof into the overall facade, building composition and desired contextual response,

  • (d)

    to encourage plant and lift over runs to be placed in the basement.

(2)

Development that includes an architectural roof feature that exceeds, or causes a building to exceed, the height limits set by clause 4.3 may be carried out, but only with consent.

(3)

Development consent must not be granted to any such development unless the consent authority is satisfied that:

  • (a)

    the architectural roof feature:

    internal alterations to a building, or

  • (b)

    internal alterations to a building together with the mounting of an antenna, and any support structure, on an external wall or roof of a building so as to occupy a space of not more than 450mm × 100mm × 100mm.

(4)

A complying development certificate for any such complying development is subject to a condition that any building work may only be carried out between 7.00 am and 6.00 pm on Monday to Friday and between 7.00 am and 5.00 pm on Saturday, and must not be carried out on a Sunday or a public holiday.

(5)

In this clause:

private service provider means a person or body that has entered into an agreement that is in force with New South Wales Fire Brigades to monitor fire alarm systems.

5.9Preservation of trees or vegetation(1)

The objective of this clause is to preserve the amenity of the area through the preservation of trees and other vegetation.

(2)

This clause applies to species or kinds of trees or other vegetation that are prescribed for the purposes of this clause by a development control plan made by the Council.

Note—

A development control plan may prescribe the trees or other vegetation to which this clause applies by reference to species, size, location or other manner.

(3)

A person must not ringbark, cut down, top, lop, remove, injure or wilfully destroy any tree or other vegetation to which any such development control plan applies without the authority conferred by:

  • (a)

    development consent, or

  • (b)

    a permit granted by the Council.

(4)

The refusal by the Council to grant a permit to a person who has duly applied for the grant of the permit is taken for the purposes of the Act to be a refusal by the Council to grant consent for the carrying out of the activity for which a permit was sought.

(5)

This clause does not apply to a tree or other vegetation that the Council is satisfied is dying or dead and is not required as the habitat of native fauna.

(6)

This clause does not apply to a tree or other vegetation that the Council is satisfied is a risk to human life or property.

(7)

A permit under this clause cannot allow any ringbarking, cutting down, topping, lopping, removal, injuring or destruction of a tree or other vegetation:

  • (a)

    that is or forms part of a heritage item, or

  • (b)

    that is within a heritage conservation area.

Note—

As a consequence of this subclause, the activities concerned will require development consent. The heritage provisions of clause 5.10 will be applicable to any such consent.

(8)

This clause does not apply to or in respect of:

  • (a)

    the clearing of native vegetation that is authorised by a development consent or property vegetation plan under the Native Vegetation Act 2003 or that is otherwise permitted under Division 2 or 3 of Part 3 of that Act, or

  • (b)

    the clearing of vegetation on State protected land (within the meaning of clause 4 of Schedule 3 to the Native Vegetation Act 2003) that is authorised by a development consent under the provisions of the Native Vegetation Conservation Act 1997 as continued in force by that clause, or

  • (c)

    trees or other vegetation within a State forest, or land reserved from sale as a timber or forest reserve under the Forestry Act 1916, or
