New South Wales Consolidated Regulations

BEGA VALLEY LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN 2013 - REG 5.3

5.3 Development near zone boundaries

(1) The objective of this clause is to provide flexibility where the investigation of a site and its surroundings reveals that a use allowed on the other side of a zone boundary would enable a more logical and appropriate development of the site and be compatible with the planning objectives and land uses for the adjoining zone.

(2) This clause applies to so much of any land that is within the relevant distance of a boundary between any 2 zones. The relevant distance is 50 metres from a boundary between Zone RU1 Primary Production and Zone RU2 Rural Landscape, and in all other cases the relevant distance is 20 metres from any zone boundary of land not excluded by subclause (3).

(3) This clause does not apply to--

(a) land in Zone RE1 Public Recreation, Zone E1 National Parks and Nature Reserves, Zone E2 Environmental Conservation, Zone E3 Environmental Management or Zone W1 Natural Waterways, or

(a1) land in Zone RU3 Forestry, Zone SP1 Special Activities, Zone SP2 Infrastructure, Zone RE2 Private Recreation, Zone E4 Environmental Living, Zone W2 Recreational Waterways or Zone W3 Working Waterways, or

(b) land within the coastal zone, or

(c) land proposed to be developed for the purpose of sex services or restricted premises.

(4) Despite the provisions of this Plan relating to the purposes for which development may be carried out, development consent may be granted to development of land to which this clause applies for any purpose that may be carried out in the adjoining zone, but only if the consent authority is satisfied that--

(a) the development is not inconsistent with the objectives for development in both zones, and

(b) the carrying out of the development is desirable due to compatible land use planning, infrastructure capacity and other planning principles relating to the efficient and timely development of land.

(5) This clause does not prescribe a development standard that may be varied under this Plan.
