Each type has rules about size, location, materials, and setbacks.\n- **Complying Development Codes** (Parts 3–9): Allows larger residential, commercial, and industrial projects to get a quick approval (a \"complying development certificate\") instead of a full development application. This includes new houses, dual occupancies, manor houses, terraces, rural housing, and various commercial alterations.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- **Homeowners** wanting to build decks, pools, sheds, or do renovations\n- **Farmers** building sheds, silos, or farm accommodation\n- **Developers** of small-scale housing and commercial projects\n- **Councils** who must assess certificate applications rather than full DA processes\n\n**Why it matters:**\nIt cuts red tape for straightforward development. If your project meets the precise standards in the codes, you avoid lengthy council assessments. However, the rules are highly technical — exact measurements, zones, and exclusions apply. The policy also protects sensitive areas (heritage, bush fire prone land, flood zones, near observatories) by excluding or adding conditions to development there.\n\n**Key complexity:** The document is enormous, with **11 different codes**, hundreds of defined terms, cross-references to other SEPPs and the Standard Instrument, and frequent amendments. You need to check which code applies to your land zone and whether any local variations in Schedules 2 or 3 apply."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/state-environmental-planning-policy-exempt-and-complying-development-codes-2008","history":"/api/acts/state-environmental-planning-policy-exempt-and-complying-development-codes-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/state-environmental-planning-policy-exempt-and-complying-development-codes-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/state-environmental-planning-policy-exempt-and-complying-development-codes-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/state-environmental-planning-policy-exempt-and-complying-development-codes-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/state-environmental-planning-policy-exempt-and-complying-development-codes-2008/documents"}}
