(2) All local environmental plans and deemed environmental planning instruments applying to the land to which this Plan applies and to other land cease to apply to the land to which this Plan applies. Note— However, the following local environmental plans continue to apply to the land identified as "Deferred matter" under clause 1.3(1A)— Kiama Local Environmental Plan 1996 1.8A Savings provision relating to development applications (1) If a development application has been made before the commencement of this Plan in relation to land to which this Plan applies and the application has not been finally determined before that commencement, the application must be determined as if this Plan had not commenced. Note— However, under Division 3.5 of the Act, a development application may be made for consent to carry out development that may only be carried out if the environmental planning instrument applying to the relevant development is appropriately amended or if a new instrument, including an appropriate principal environmental planning instrument, is made, and the consent authority may consider the application. The Division requires public notice of the development application and the draft environmental planning instrument allowing the development at the same time, or as closely together as is practicable. (2) If a development application has been made before the commencement of Kiama Local Environmental Plan 2011 (Amendment No 16) in relation to land to which that Plan applies and the application has not been finally determined before that commencement, the application must be determined as if that Plan had not commenced. 1.9 Application of SEPPs (1) This Plan is subject to the provisions of any State environmental planning policy that prevails over this Plan as provided by section 3.28 of the Act. (2) The following State environmental planning policies (or provisions) do not apply to the land to which this Plan applies— 1.9A Suspension of covenants, agreements and instruments (1) For the purpose of enabling development on land in any zone to be carried out in accordance with this Plan or with a consent granted under the Act, any agreement, covenant or other similar instrument that restricts the carrying out of that development does not apply to the extent necessary to serve that purpose. (2) This clause does not apply— (a) to a covenant imposed by the Council or that the Council requires to be imposed, or (b) to any relevant instrument within the meaning of section 13.4 of the Crown Land Management Act 2016, or (c) to any conservation agreement within the meaning of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974, or (d) to any Trust agreement within the meaning of the Nature Conservation Trust Act 2001, or (e) to any property vegetation plan within the meaning of the Native Vegetation Act 2003, or (f) to any biobanking agreement within the meaning of Part 7A of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, or (g) to any planning agreement within the meaning of Subdivision 2 of Division 7.1 of the Act. (3) This clause does not affect the rights or interests of any public authority under any registered instrument. (4) Under section 3.16 of the Act, the Governor, before the making of this clause, approved of subclauses (1)–(3). Part 2 Permitted or prohibited development 2.1 Land use zones The land use zones under this Plan are as follows— Rural Zones RU1 Primary Production RU2 Rural Landscape Residential Zones R2 Low Density Residential R3 Medium Density Residential R5 Large Lot Residential Employment Zones E1 Local Centre E3 Productivity Support E4 General Industrial Special Purpose Zones SP2 Infrastructure Recreation Zones RE1 Public Recreation RE2 Private Recreation Conservation Zones C1 National Parks and Nature Reserves C2 Environmental Conservation C3 Environmental Management Waterway Zones W4 Working Waterfront 2.2 Zoning of land to which Plan applies For the purposes of this Plan, land is within the zones shown on the Land Zoning Map. 2.3 Zone 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— 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. 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. 2.4 Unzoned 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. 2.5 Additional 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. 2.6 Subdivision—consent requirements (1) Land to which this Plan applies may be subdivided, but only with development consent. Notes— 1 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. 2 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. 2.7 Demolition 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. 2.8 Temporary 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). 2.9 Canal 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— (a) a constructed canal, or other waterway or waterbody, that— (i) is inundated by surface water or groundwater movement, or (ii) drains to a waterway or waterbody by surface water or groundwater movement, and (b) the erection of a dwelling, and (c) one or both of the following— (i) the use of fill material to raise the level of all or part of the land on which the dwelling will be erected to comply with requirements for residential development in the flood planning area, (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.

(3) However, this clause does not apply to land in Zone R2 Low Density Residential or Zone R3 Medium Density Residential on which there is an existing dual occupancy (erected at any time). Note— See clause 4.1D for exceptions to minimum subdivision lot sizes for dual occupancies in Zone R2 and Zone R3. 4.1C Exceptions to minimum subdivision lot sizes for certain split zones (1) The objectives of this clause are as follows— (a) to provide for the subdivision of lots that are within more than one zone but cannot be subdivided under clause 4.1, (b) to ensure that the subdivision occurs in a manner that promotes suitable land uses and development. (2) This clause applies to each lot (an original lot) that contains— (a) land in a rural or conservation zone, and (b) land in a residential or employment zone, or Zone W4 Working Waterfront. (3) Despite clause 4.1, development consent may be granted to subdivide an original lot to create other lots (the resulting lots) if— (a) one of the resulting lots will contain all of the land in a rural or conservation zone and— (i) any existing dwelling, or (ii) any land within any other zone with an area that is not less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land, and (b) each of the other resulting lots will contain land that has an area that is not less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land. (4) In determining whether to grant development consent for the subdivision of land under this clause, the consent authority must consider the following— (a) whether or not the development is likely to maintain or improve the environmental values and agricultural viability of the land, (b) the potential impact on the natural and physical constraints affecting the land, taking into account the long-term maintenance, management and protection of the land, (c) the compatibility with existing or potential land uses and measures that are deemed necessary to avoid or minimise any potential for land use conflicts. 4.1D Exceptions to minimum subdivision lot sizes for dual occupancies in Zone R2 and Zone R3 (1) The objective of this clause is to encourage the efficient subdivision of existing and proposed dual occupancies without adversely impacting on residential amenity. (2) This clause applies to the subdivision of land in the following zones— (a) Zone R2 Low Density Residential, (b) Zone R3 Medium Density Residential, but does not apply to the subdivision of land under the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015 or the Community Land Development Act 1989. (3) Despite clause 4.1, development consent may be granted to the subdivision of land to which this clause applies if— (a) there is an existing dual occupancy (lawfully erected at any time) on the land or development consent has been granted for the erection of a dual occupancy on the land, and (b) the subdivision of land will result in no more than 2 lots with each resulting lot equal to or greater than 50% of the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to the land, and (c) each resulting lot will have either a semi-detached dwelling or dwelling house. (4) Despite clause 4.1, development consent may be granted to a single development application for development on land to which this clause applies if the development is both— (a) the subdivision of land into no more than 2 lots with each resulting lot equal to or greater than 50% of the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to the land, and (b) the erection of either a semi-detached dwelling or dwelling house on each lot resulting from the subdivision. 4.1E Minimum site areas for dual occupancies and multi dwelling housing in Zone R2 (1) This clause applies to land in Zone R2 Low Density Residential. (2) Despite any other provision of this Plan, development for the purposes of multi dwelling housing is not permitted in Zone R2 Low Density Residential unless the development is for the purpose of terraces. (3) In the case of land to which this clause applies that is located in Jamberoo, development consent must not be granted to development for the purpose of dual occupancies and multi dwelling housing unless the site area per dwelling is equal to or greater than 400 square metres for the following purposes— (a) a dual occupancy, (b) terraces. (4) In the case of land to which this clause applies that is not located in Jamberoo, development consent must not be granted to development for the purpose of dual occupancies and multi dwelling housing unless the site area per dwelling is equal to or greater than 300 square metres for the following purposes— (a) a dual occupancy, (b) terraces. (5) Despite clause 3B.1A of State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, development for the purposes of manor houses within the meaning of that Policy is not permitted on land to which this clause applies. (6) In this clause and clause 4.1F— manor house has the same meaning as in clause 1.5 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008. terraces means multi dwelling housing where all dwellings are attached and face, and are generally aligned along, 1 or more public roads. 4.1F Minimum site areas for dual occupancies, manor houses and multi dwelling housing in Zone R3 (1) This clause applies to land in Zone R3 Medium Density Residential. (2) Development consent must not be granted to development for the following purposes unless the site area per dwelling is equal to or greater than 200 square metres for that purpose— (a) a dual occupancy, (b) a manor house, (c) terraces. Note— Clause 3B.1A of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 provides that development for the purposes of manor houses is permitted with development consent in Zone R3. 4.2 Rural subdivision (1) The objective of this clause is to provide flexibility in the application of standards for subdivision in rural zones to allow land owners a greater chance to achieve the objectives for development in the relevant zone. (2) This clause applies to the following rural zones— (a) Zone RU1 Primary Production, (b) Zone RU2 Rural Landscape, (baa) Zone RU3 Forestry, (c) Zone RU4 Primary Production Small Lots, (d) Zone RU6 Transition. Note— When this Plan was made it did not include Zone RU4 Primary Production Small Lots or Zone RU6 Transition. (3) Land in a zone to which this clause applies may, with development consent, be subdivided for the purpose of primary production to create a lot of a size that is less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land. (4) However, such a lot cannot be created if an existing dwelling would, as the result of the subdivision, be situated on the lot. (5) A dwelling cannot be erected on such a lot. Note— A dwelling includes a rural worker's dwelling (see definition of that term in the Dictionary). 4.2A Erection of dwelling houses on land in certain rural and conservation zones (1) The objectives of this clause are as follows— (a) to minimise unplanned rural residential development, (b) to enable the replacement of lawfully erected dwelling houses in rural and conservation zones. (2) This clause applies to land in the following zones— (a) Zone RU1 Primary Production, (b) Zone RU2 Rural Landscape, (c) Zone C3 Environmental Management. (3) Development consent must not be granted for the erection of a dwelling house on land in a zone to which this clause applies, and on which no dwelling house has been erected, unless the land is— (a) a lot that is at least the minimum lot size specified for that land by the Lot Size Map, or (b) a lot created before this Plan commenced and on which the erection of a dwelling house was permissible immediately before that commencement, or (c) a lot resulting from a subdivision for which development consent (or equivalent) was granted before this Plan commenced and on which the erection of a dwelling house would have been permissible if the plan of subdivision had been registered before that commencement, or (d) an existing holding. Note— A dwelling cannot be erected on a lot created under clause 9 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Rural Lands) 2008 or clause 4.2. (4) Subclause (3)(b), (c) and (d) ceases to apply if— (a) an application for development consent referred to in that subclause is not made in relation to that land within 5 years after the day this Plan commences, or (b) an application for development consent referred to in that subclause is made in relation to that land within 5 years after the day this Plan commences, but the application is refused. (5) Despite subclause (3), development consent may be granted for the erection of a dwelling house on land to which this clause applies if— (a) there is a lawfully erected dwelling house on the land and the dwelling house to be erected is intended only to replace the existing dwelling house, or (b) the land would have been a lot or a holding referred to in subclause (3) had it not been affected by— (i) a minor realignment of its boundaries that did not create an additional lot, or (ii) a subdivision creating or widening a public road or public reserve or for another public purpose. (6) In this clause— existing holding means land that— (a) was a holding on 4 July 1977, and (b) is a holding at the time the application for development consent referred to in subclause (3) is lodged, whether or not there has been a change in the ownership of the holding since 4 July 1977, and includes any other land adjoining that land acquired by the owner since 4 July 1977. holding means all adjoining land, even if separated by a road or railway, held by the same person or persons. Note— The owner in whose ownership all the land is at the time the application is lodged need not be the same person as the owner in whose ownership all the land was on the stated date. 4.2B Minimum subdivision lot size for strata plans in Zone RU1, Zone RU2 and Zone C3 (1) The objective of this clause is to ensure that land to which this clause applies is not fragmented by subdivisions that would create additional dwelling entitlements. (2) This clause applies to land in the following zones that is being subdivided (being a subdivision that requires development consent) under the Strata Schemes (Freehold Development) Act 1973 for use as residential accommodation or tourist and visitor accommodation— (a) Zone RU1 Primary Production, (b) Zone RU2 Rural Landscape, (c) Zone C3 Environmental Management. (3) The size of any lot resulting from a subdivision to which this clause applies (other than common property within the meaning of the Strata Schemes (Freehold Development) Act 1973) is not to be less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land. 4.2C Exceptions to minimum subdivision lot size for boundary adjustments in Zone RU1, Zone RU2 and Zone C3 (1) The object of this clause is to permit the boundary between 2 or more lots to be altered in certain circumstances to give landowners a greater opportunity to achieve the objectives of a zone. (2) This clause applies to land in the following zones— (a) Zone RU1 Primary Production, (b) Zone RU2 Rural Landscape, (c) Zone C3 Environmental Management. (3) Despite clause 4.1, development consent may be granted to the subdivision of 2 or more adjoining lots to which this clause applies if— (a) the subdivision will not result in any increase in the number of lots, and (b) the subdivision will not result in an increase in the number of dwellings on, or dwellings that may be erected on, any of the lots, and (c) the land subject to the subdivision will continue to be used for rural or agricultural purposes (or both). (4) Before determining a development application for the subdivision of land under this clause, the consent authority must consider the following— (a) the existing uses and approved uses of other land in the vicinity of the subdivision, (b) whether or not the subdivision is likely to have a significant impact on land uses that are likely to be preferred and the predominant land uses in the vicinity of the development, (c) whether or not the subdivision is likely to be incompatible with a use referred to in paragraph (a) or (b), (d) whether or not the subdivision is likely to be incompatible with a use on land in any adjoining zone, (e) any measures proposed by the applicant to avoid or minimise any incompatibility referred to in paragraph (c) or (d), (f) whether or not the subdivision is appropriate having regard to the natural and physical constraints affecting the land, (g) whether or not the subdivision is likely to have an adverse impact on the environmental values or agricultural viability of the land. (5) This clause does not apply— (a) in relation to the subdivision of individual lots in a strata plan or a community title scheme, or (b) if the subdivision would create a lot that could itself be subdivided in accordance with clause 4.1. 4.3 Height of buildings (1) The objectives of this clause are as follows— (a) to ensure future development is in keeping with the desired scale and character of the street and local area, (b) to allow reasonable daylight access to all developments and the public domain. (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. 4.4 Floor space ratio (1) The objectives of this clause are as follows— (a) to ensure that development is in keeping with the optimum capacity of the site and the local area, (b) to define allowable development density for generic building types. (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. 4.5 Calculation of floor space ratio and site area (1) Objectives 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) 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 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 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 Plan is reduced by the quantity of floor space area the covenant prevents being created on the affected land. (11) Definition In this clause, public place has the same meaning as it has in the Local Government Act 1993. 4.6 Exceptions to development standards (1) The objectives of this clause are as follows— (a) to provide an appropriate degree of flexibility in applying certain development standards to particular development, (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) Development consent must not be granted to development that contravenes a development standard unless the consent authority is satisfied the applicant has demonstrated that— (a) compliance with the development standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances, and (b) there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify the contravention of the development standard. Note— The Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021 requires a development application for development that proposes to contravene a development standard to be accompanied by a document setting out the grounds on which the applicant seeks to demonstrate the matters in paragraphs (a) and (b). (4) The consent authority must keep a record of its assessment carried out under subclause (3). (5) (Repealed) (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 C2 Environmental Conservation, Zone C3 Environmental Management or Zone C4 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. (7) (Repealed) (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, (c) clause 5.4, (caa) clause 5.5. Part 5 Miscellaneous provisions 5.1 Relevant 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 (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. Note— If land, other than land specified in the Table to subclause (2), is required to be acquired under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions, the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure is required to take action to enable the designation of the acquiring authority under this clause. Pending the designation of the acquiring authority for that land, the acquiring authority is to be the authority determined by order of the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure (see section 21 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991). 5.2 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 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) 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 Land Management Act 2016). 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. 5.3 Development near zone boundaries [Not adopted] 5.4 Controls relating to miscellaneous permissible uses (1) Bed and breakfast accommodation If development for the purposes of bed and breakfast accommodation is permitted under this Plan, the accommodation that is provided to guests must consist of no more than 5 bedrooms. Note— Any such development that provides for a certain number of guests or rooms may involve a change in the class of building under the Building Code of Australia. (2) Home businesses If development for the purposes of a home business is permitted under this Plan, the carrying on of the business must not involve the use of more than 30 square metres of floor area. (3) Home industries If development for the purposes of a home industry is permitted under this Plan, the carrying on of the home industry must not involve the use of more than 30 square metres of floor area.

(7) Neighbourhood shops If development for the purposes of a neighbourhood shop is permitted under this Plan, the retail floor area must not exceed 100 square metres. (7AA) Neighbourhood supermarkets If development for the purposes of a neighbourhood supermarket is permitted under this Plan, the gross floor area must not exceed 1,000 square metres. (8) Roadside stalls If development for the purposes of a roadside stall is permitted under this Plan, the gross floor area must not exceed 75 square metres. (9) Secondary dwellings on land other than land in a rural zone If development for the purposes of a secondary dwelling is permitted under this Plan on land other than land in a rural zone, the total floor area of the dwelling, excluding any area used for parking, must not exceed whichever of the following is the greater— (a) 60 square metres, (b) 100% of the total floor area of the principal dwelling. (10) Artisan food and drink industry exclusion If development for the purposes of an artisan food and drink industry is permitted under this Plan in Zone E3 Productivity Support, Zone E4 General Industrial, Zone E5 Heavy Industrial, Zone W4 Working Waterfront or a rural zone, the floor area used for retail sales (not including any cafe or restaurant area) must not exceed— (a) 40% of the gross floor area of the industry, or (b) 75 square metres, whichever is the lesser. 5.5 Controls relating to secondary dwellings on land in a rural zone If development for the purposes of a secondary dwelling is permitted under this Plan on land in a rural zone— (a) the total floor area of the dwelling, excluding any area used for parking, must not exceed whichever of the following is the greater— (i) 120 square metres, (ii) 0% of the total floor area of the principal dwelling, and (b) the distance between the secondary dwelling and the principal dwelling must not exceed 60 metres. 5.6 Architectural roof features (1) The objectives of this clause are as follows— (a) to ensure that architectural roof features to which this clause applies are decorative elements only, (b) to ensure that the majority of the roof features are contained within the prescribed building height. (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 development consent.
