3.0 COMPLYING DEVELOPMENT — PRELIMINARY 3.1 What is Complying Development? Section 76A(5) of the EP&A Act allows Council to identify a category of development known as ‘complying development’. The Act allows Council to determine that certain types of development can be complying development when it is assessed against predetermined standards set out in either a LEP or DCP. There is no merits assessment of complying development, therefore where a development complies with the predetermined standards, Council or the accredited certifier must issue a Complying Development Certificate (ie an approval for that development). These approvals are issued with the predetermined conditions that are listed in this DCP. It should be noted that some of these conditions are prescribed (ie they must be included in the Complying Development Certificate) in the Regulations. In determining whether your development proposal can be undertaken as complying development, you must determine the following: a That it will not be undertaken on land that is identified below as being land on which complying development

may not be carried out; b That it complies with the general requirements listed below; and c That it complies with the specific requirements for your particular development listed in Section 4. 3.2 Land on which Complying Development may not be carried out The EPA states that complying development cannot be undertaken if: a The development is designated development; b The development is a development for which development consent cannot be granted except with the

ii that is identified as such an item in an environmental planning instrument. f It is land that is identified as an environmentally sensitive area in the environmental planning instrument that

makes provision for the complying development. In addition to the requirements of the Act, complying development cannot be undertaken if: g The development is integrated development under the EP&A Act or prohibited development under the NLEP. h It is land within a heritage conservation area that is identified as such in an environmental planning instrument
