STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICY (EXEMPT AND COMPLYING DEVELOPMENT CODES) 2008 - REG 1.6

1.6 Interpretation--references to land use zones

(1) A reference in this Policy to a lot or to land in a named land use zone is a reference--

(a) to land that, under an environmental planning instrument made as provided by section 3.20(2) of the Act, is in a land use zone specified in the Standard Instrument, and

(b) to land that, under an environmental planning instrument that is not made as provided by section 3.20(2) of the Act, is in a land use zone in which equivalent land uses are permitted to those permitted in the named land use zone.

(1A) Land identified as "Deferred matter" on the Land Application Map within the meaning of Warringah Local Environmental Plan 2011 is, for the purposes of this Policy, taken to be in Zone E3 Environmental Management.

(1B) Despite subclause (1)(b), in relation to land--

(a) to which an environmental planning instrument that is not made as provided by section 3.20(2) of the Act applies, and

(b) to which a draft environmental planning instrument that complies with that section and has been the subject of community consultation also applies,

a reference in this Policy to a lot or land in a named land use zone is a reference to a lot or land specified in such a zone in the last such draft environmental planning instrument that was the subject of such community consultation.

(1C) In subclause (1B),
"community consultation" means community consultation under clause 4 of Schedule 1 to the Act or public exhibition under section 66 of the Act (as continued on by clause 12 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 ).

(2) In this clause--

"equivalent land uses" , in relation to land in a named land use zone, means uses equivalent to the permitted land uses shown opposite that named land use zone in the table to this clause.

(3) If the Planning Secretary, by order published in the Gazette, determines that a land use zone in a specified environmental planning instrument that is not made as provided by section 3.20(2) of the Act is a land use zone in which equivalent land uses are permitted to those permitted in a named land use zone, that certification is conclusive for the purposes of this clause.
