sec.51AT Conversion of water connection aspects of PDA development approvals
Subsection (2) applies if a water approval is in effect for the land to which the PDA development approval relates— for a PDA development approval that was in effect for the former PDA land or former PDA-associated development immediately before the cessation—immediately before the cessation; or otherwise—immediately before the PDA development approval is given. The water connection aspect of the PDA development approval is taken to be part of the water approval. If subsection (2) does not apply, the water connection aspect of the PDA development approval continues in effect as a PDA development approval— as if the cessation had not happened; and until the part of the PDA development approval that becomes, under division 4 , subdivision 2 , a Planning Act approval stops having effect. However, if a water approval is given for the land to which the PDA development approval relates while the water connection aspect is in effect as a PDA development approval under subsection (3) , the water connection aspect is taken to be part of the water approval. To remove any doubt, it is declared that this section does not limit or otherwise affect a requirement under the South-East Queensland Water (Distribution and Retail Restructuring) Act 2009 for a water approval to be obtained for the making of a connection under that Act. s 51AT ins 2019 No. 11 s 40 (sec.51AT-ssec.1) Subsection (2) applies if a water approval is in effect for the land to which the PDA development approval relates— for a PDA development approval that was in effect for the former PDA land or former PDA-associated development immediately before the cessation—immediately before the cessation; or otherwise—immediately before the PDA development approval is given.
