Consistency assessment with relevant State Environmental Planning Policies

CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT WITH RELEVANT STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICIES

DRAFT WOOLLAHRA LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN 2013 1

RELEVANT STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICIES

This paper outlines the relationship of Draft WLEP 2013 with State Environmental Planning Policies

(SEPPs), including the deemed SEPP Sydney Regional Environmental Plan (SREP). In all cases Draft

WLEP 2013 only contains provisions that support these policies.

SEPPs are addressed first, followed by SREPs. The specific provisions of SEPP 4 Development Without

Consent and Miscellaneous Exempt and Complying Development and the SREP (Sydney Harbour

Catchment) 2005 are discussed in detail in Table 2 and Table 3.

Note: The tables only refer to SEPPs which are in force.

Table 1: State Environmental Planning Polices and Regional Environmental Planning Policies

No. Title Key issues Consistency of Draft WLEP 2013

State Environmental Planning Policies

1 Development Standards This SEPP will not apply to the LGA on

adoption of a Standard (LEP)

Instrument-compliant LEP.

Clause 4.6 of the Standard Instrument

replaces SEPP 1.

Applicable - consistent.

Draft WLEP 2013 includes Clause 4.6

Exceptions to development standards.

4 Development Without

Consent and

Miscellaneous Exempt

and Complying

Development

(1) Clauses 6-10 of the SEPP do not

currently apply to land in

Woollahra. However, as Draft

WLEP 2013 is not specifically

listed in Schedule 2 of SEPP 4,

these clauses will apply

(unintentionally) to the LGA.

(2) Clause 5A Places of public worship

applies.

(3) Clause 11E applies but is not

relevant.

(4) Clause 12 applies but is not

currently relevant as clauses 7 and

8 do not apply. However, these

clauses will apply (unintentionally)

because Draft WLEP 2013 is not

listed in Schedule 2 of the SEPP.


Table 2 below addresses consistency

with the provisions in each clause of

SEPP 4.

Schedule 2 of SEPP 4 excludes the

operation of Clauses 6-10 from land

affected by WLEP 95 and LEP 27 and

24.

Given these references are to specific

LEPs that will no longer apply, the

exclusions will no longer apply.

Council will liaise with Parliamentary

Counsel regarding ways to maintain

the current exclusions of clause 7-10

of SEPP 4.

Clause 1.9 of the Standard Instrument,

repeals Clause 6 of SEPP 4.

6 Number of Storeys in a

Building

(1) Interprets provisions related to

numbers of storeys for any LEP –

as the number intersected by a

vertical line.

(2) Contrary to Standard Instrument

definition Includes attics and

mezzanines as a storey.


Draft WLEP 2013 does not include

provisions related to numbers of

storeys.


2 DRAFT WOOLLAHRA LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN 2013


14 Coastal Wetlands Seeks to preserve coastal wetlands.


Draft WLEP 2013 does not include

provisions relating to coastal

wetlands.

15 Rural Landsharing

Communities

None.

(This LGA LEP does not contain any

rural land).

Not applicable.

19 Bushland in Urban Areas Provides for the retention of remnant

bushland by requiring development

consent for disturbance and by

consideration of the SEPP objectives

when preparing an LEP.


The provisions of Draft WLEP 2013 are

consistent with the objectives of

SEPP 19 and include Clause 5.9

Preservation of trees or vegetation.

21 Caravan Parks (1) Caravan parks require consent.

(2) Moveable dwellings are permitted

within caravan parks and camping

grounds.


Draft WLEP 2013 does not contain

explicit provisions relating to caravan

parks and camping grounds – which

are unlikely to be proposed in this

LGA.

22 Shops and Commercial

Premises

Permits, with consent, within a

business zone a change of use:

(i) from one kind of shop to another

or to a commercial premise, and

(ii) from one kind of commercial

premises to another or to a shop

even if the use is prohibited in an LEP.



provisions that contradict or would

hinder application of this SEPP.

The business zones in Draft WLEP

2013 allow a broad range of

commercial development and use of

this SEPP is unlikely.

26 Littoral Rainforests None

(This LGA does not include any littoral

rainforests).

Not applicable.

29 Western Sydney

Recreation Area

Not applicable

(Does not apply to this LGA).

30 Intensive Agriculture None

32 Urban Consolidation

(Redevelopment of

Urban Land)

Each Council, and the Minister, must

consider whether land no longer

needed or used for its zoned purpose

is suitable for development for

multi-unit housing, and whether

action should be taken to allow such

development. The Minister may make

a REP (under which the Minister will

zoned land available for multi-unit

to implement such redevelopment.

Density Residential.

(ii) Draft WLEP 2013 has rezoned 10

sites that are currently zoned for

special use to R3 Medium Density

and, as such will allow multi-unit

housing if a site is no longer

required for its current activity.

33 Hazardous and

Offensive Development

Amends the definition of hazardous

and offensive development, allows for

the nomination of certain activities as

hazardous or offensive development,

establishes criteria for assessing and

advertising of applications for

hazardous or offensive development.


The definitions are included in the

Standard (LEP) Instrument and

therefore Draft WLEP 2013.

Hazardous or offensive

development is not listed as a

permitted use within any zones in

Draft WLEP 2013.

36 Manufactured Home

Estates

55 Remediation of Land (1) Specifies when consent is or is not

required for remediation work

(and establishes 2 ‘categories’ of

remediation).

(2) Clause 6 requires resolution of

any contamination issues where

an LEP proposes to change

zonings to allow certain specified

uses.

(3) Requires consideration of

contamination issues in

assessment of DAs

(4) Specifies considerations for


Given the nature of past development

within the LGA, contamination of land

has occurred. This is dealt with on a

site-by-site basis under the

requirements of this SEPP and the

Contaminated Land Management Act

1997.

Under the requirements of Clause 6 of

the SEPP:

(i) the proposed zones in Draft WLEP

2013 convert the existing zones

and therefore the permissible

work.

(5) Establishes standards and

notification requirements for

remediation work.

land uses are similar to WLEP 95;

(ii) Draft WLEP 2013 zoning changes

are to recognise existing uses

rather than increase the range of

permissible uses.

(iii) Draft WLEP 2013 only rezones

Special Use zoned sites to reflect

existing low risk uses such as

seniors housing. Other

infrastructure such as railways or

sewage systems retain a special

use zoning.

existing exempt controls in Council’s

Development Control Plan for Exempt

and Complying Development.

65 Design Quality of

principles for residential flat

development. LEPs must include

provisions that achieve these

principles and accord with the

Residential Flat Design Code.

(2) Establishes design review panels –

which can advise on the

preparation of draft LEPs.


Draft WLEP 2013 has been developed

having regard to SEPP 65 design

criteria. For example, increasing

maximum building height to improve

internal building amenity.

Draft WLEP 2013 is consistent with

the Residential Flat Design Code. The

associated new DCP is being prepared

with regard to the design principles of

the Code.
