### sec.146 Imposing conditions about infrastructure
A State infrastructure provider may impose a development condition (a State-related condition ) on a development approval about—
infrastructure; and
works to protect or maintain infrastructure operation.
However, a State-related condition may only be about protecting or maintaining the safety or efficiency of—
existing or proposed State-owned or State-controlled transport infrastructure; or
public passenger transport or public passenger transport infrastructure (whether or not State-owned or State-controlled); or
the safety or efficiency of railways, ports or airports under the Transport Infrastructure Act ; or
if the State infrastructure provider is the chief executive—a matter stated in paragraph (a) , (b) or (c) for another State infrastructure provider.
turning lanes or traffic signals at a site access or nearby intersection that are to ensure road links and intersections continue to perform at an acceptable level
upgraded traffic control devices at a level crossing in response to increased traffic
drainage or retaining structures that are to protect transport infrastructure from changed hydraulics or excavation next to State-owned or State-controlled transport infrastructure
In this section—
public passenger transport means the carriage of passengers by a public passenger service as defined under the Transport Operations (Passenger Transport) Act 1994 using a public passenger vehicle as defined under that Act.
public passenger transport infrastructure means infrastructure for, or associated with, the provision of public passenger transport.
safety or efficiency , of infrastructure, means—
the safety of the users of the infrastructure and of other persons affected by the infrastructure; or
the efficiency of the use of the infrastructure.
(sec.146-ssec.1) A State infrastructure provider may impose a development condition (a State-related condition ) on a development approval about— infrastructure; and works to protect or maintain infrastructure operation.
(sec.146-ssec.2) However, a State-related condition may only be about protecting or maintaining the safety or efficiency of— existing or proposed State-owned or State-controlled transport infrastructure; or public passenger transport or public passenger transport infrastructure (whether or not State-owned or State-controlled); or the safety or efficiency of railways, ports or airports under the Transport Infrastructure Act ; or if the State infrastructure provider is the chief executive—a matter stated in paragraph (a) , (b) or (c) for another State infrastructure provider. turning lanes or traffic signals at a site access or nearby intersection that are to ensure road links and intersections continue to perform at an acceptable level upgraded traffic control devices at a level crossing in response to increased traffic drainage or retaining structures that are to protect transport infrastructure from changed hydraulics or excavation next to State-owned or State-controlled transport infrastructure
(sec.146-ssec.3) In this section— public passenger transport means the carriage of passengers by a public passenger service as defined under the Transport Operations (Passenger Transport) Act 1994 using a public passenger vehicle as defined under that Act. public passenger transport infrastructure means infrastructure for, or associated with, the provision of public passenger transport. safety or efficiency , of infrastructure, means— the safety of the users of the infrastructure and of other persons affected by the infrastructure; or the efficiency of the use of the infrastructure.
- (a) infrastructure; and
- (b) works to protect or maintain infrastructure operation.
- (a) existing or proposed State-owned or State-controlled transport infrastructure; or
- (b) public passenger transport or public passenger transport infrastructure (whether or not State-owned or State-controlled); or

- (d) if the State infrastructure provider is the chief executive—a matter stated in paragraph (a) , (b) or (c) for another State infrastructure provider. Examples of infrastructure that might be required under a State-related condition— • turning lanes or traffic signals at a site access or nearby intersection that are to ensure road links and intersections continue to perform at an acceptable level • upgraded traffic control devices at a level crossing in response to increased traffic • drainage or retaining structures that are to protect transport infrastructure from changed hydraulics or excavation next to State-owned or State-controlled transport infrastructure
- • turning lanes or traffic signals at a site access or nearby intersection that are to ensure road links and intersections continue to perform at an acceptable level
- • upgraded traffic control devices at a level crossing in response to increased traffic
- • drainage or retaining structures that are to protect transport infrastructure from changed hydraulics or excavation next to State-owned or State-controlled transport infrastructure

- • upgraded traffic control devices at a level crossing in response to increased traffic
- • drainage or retaining structures that are to protect transport infrastructure from changed hydraulics or excavation next to State-owned or State-controlled transport infrastructure
- (a) the safety of the users of the infrastructure and of other persons affected by the infrastructure; or
- (b) the efficiency of the use of the infrastructure.
