91Contents of major development plan

#### 91 Contents of major development plan (1A) The purpose of a major development plan in relation to an airport is to establish the details of a major airport development that: (a) relates to the airport; and (b) is consistent with the airport lease for the airport and the final master plan for the airport. (1) A major development plan, or a draft of such a plan, must set out: (a) the airport‑lessee company’s objectives for the development; and (b) the airport‑lessee company’s assessment of the extent to which the future needs of civil aviation users of the airport, and other users of the airport, will be met by the development; and (c) a detailed outline of the development; and (ca) whether or not the development is consistent with the airport lease for the airport; and (d) if a final master plan for the airport is in force—whether or not the development is consistent with the final master plan; and (e) if the development could affect noise exposure levels at the airport—the effect that the development would be likely to have on those levels; and (ea) if the development could affect flight paths at the airport—the effect that the development would be likely to have on those flight paths; and (f) the airport‑lessee company’s plans, developed following consultations with the airlines that use the airport, local government bodies in the vicinity of the airport and—if the airport is a joint user airport—the Defence Department, for managing aircraft noise intrusion in areas forecast to be subject to exposure above the significant ANEF levels; and (g) an outline of the approvals that the airport‑lessee company, or any other person, has sought, is seeking or proposes to seek under Division 5 or Part 12 in respect of elements of the development; and (ga) the likely effect of the proposed developments that are set out in the major development plan, or the draft of the major development plan, on: (i) traffic flows at the airport and surrounding the airport; and (ii) employment levels at the airport; and (iii) the local and regional economy and community, including an analysis of how the proposed developments fit within the local planning schemes for commercial and retail development in the adjacent area; and (h) the airport‑lessee company’s assessment of the environmental impacts that might reasonably be expected to be associated with the development; and (j) the airport‑lessee company’s plans for dealing with the environmental impacts mentioned in paragraph (h) (including plans for ameliorating or preventing environmental impacts); and (k) if the plan relates to a sensitive development—the exceptional circumstances that the airport‑lessee company claims will justify the development of the sensitive development at the airport; and (l) such other matters (if any) as are specified in the regulations. (2) Paragraphs (1)(a) to (k) (inclusive) do not, by implication, limit paragraph (1)(l). (3) The regulations may provide that, in specifying a particular objective, assessment, outline or other matter covered by subsection (1), a major development plan, or a draft of such a plan, must address such things as are specified in the regulations. (4) In specifying a particular objective or proposal covered by paragraph (1)(a), (c) or (ga), a major development plan, or a draft of a major development plan, must address: (a) the extent (if any) of consistency with planning schemes in force under a law of the State in which the airport is located; and (b) if the major development plan is not consistent with those planning schemes—the justification for the inconsistencies. (5) Subsection (4) does not, by implication, limit subsection (3). (6) In developing plans referred to in paragraph (l)(f), an airport‑lessee company must have regard to Australian Standard AS 2021—2000 (“Acoustics—Aircraft noise intrusion—Building siting and construction”) as in force or existing at that time. (7) Subsection (6) does not, by implication, limit the matters to which regard may be had.
