Preparation of development control plans

3.43 Preparation of development control plans

(cf previous s 74C)

(1) The relevant planning authority may prepare a development control plan (or cause such a plan to be prepared) if it considers it necessary or desirable--
(a) to provide the guidance referred to in section 3.42(1), or
(c) to provide for (or exclude) public or particular advertising or notification of any of the following--
(i) a development application for specified development (other than State significant development or designated development),
(ii) a request for the review of a determination of a development application where the applicant for review makes amendments to the development described in the original development application,
(iii) an application for the modification of a development consent for specified development (but not State significant development or designated development), or
(d) in the case of a council--to specify criteria (in addition to but not inconsistent with any criteria prescribed by the regulations) that the council is to take into consideration in determining whether or not to give a development control order, or
(e) to make provision for anything permitted by this Act to be prescribed by a development control plan.
Note : See for example section 3.14(4)(a).
(2) Only one development control plan made by the same relevant planning authority may apply in respect of the same land. This subsection does not apply to--
(a) a plan prepared for the purposes of subsection (1)(d) or for any other purpose prescribed by the regulations, or
(b) a plan prepared for the purpose of amending an existing plan.
If this subsection is not complied with, all the development control plans concerned have no effect.
Note : A planning authority may prepare one development control plan for the whole of its area or one plan for each precinct or locality in its area, or prepare one plan for a site (and exclude that site from the area to which other plans apply).
(3) A development control plan may adopt by reference the provisions of another development control plan.
(4) A development control plan may amend, substitute or revoke another development control plan.
(5) A provision of a development control plan (whenever made) has no effect to the extent that--
(a) it is the same or substantially the same as a provision of an environmental planning instrument applying to the same land, or
(b) it is inconsistent or incompatible with a provision of any such instrument.
