sec.15 Approved scheme regulates development etc. of site
The approved scheme regulates the development and use of land within the site. The approved scheme modifies any planning scheme in force in relation to the site to the extent the planning scheme is inconsistent with the approved scheme.

Any land, building or structure may be used within a precinct without the consent of the local government for any of the purposes set out in the approved scheme as a permitted use in relation to the precinct. A person must not use land, or a building or other structure, within a precinct for a use that is not a use specified in the approved scheme as a permitted use in relation to the precinct.
