### sec.128 Necessary infrastructure conditions
If the LGIP identifies adequate trunk infrastructure to service the subject premises, the local government may impose a development condition requiring either or both of the following to be provided at a stated time—
the identified infrastructure;
different trunk infrastructure delivering the same desired standard of service.
If the LGIP does not identify adequate trunk infrastructure to service the subject premises, the local government may impose a development condition requiring development infrastructure necessary to service the premises to be provided at a stated time.
However, a local government may impose a condition under subsection (2) only if the development infrastructure services development consistent with the assumptions in the LGIP about type, scale, location or timing of development.
A necessary infrastructure condition is taken to comply with section 65 (1) if—
generally, the infrastructure required is the most efficient and cost-effective solution for servicing other premises in the general area of the subject premises; and
for a necessary infrastructure condition that requires the provision of the infrastructure located on the subject premises—
the provision is not an unreasonable imposition on the development; or
the provision is not an unreasonable imposition on the use of the subject premises as a consequence of the development.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that a necessary infrastructure condition may be imposed for infrastructure even if the infrastructure will service premises other than the subject premises.
(sec.128-ssec.1) If the LGIP identifies adequate trunk infrastructure to service the subject premises, the local government may impose a development condition requiring either or both of the following to be provided at a stated time— the identified infrastructure; different trunk infrastructure delivering the same desired standard of service.
