### sec.35 What is a designation
A designation is a decision of the Minister, or a local government, (a designator ) that identifies premises for the development of 1 or more types of infrastructure that are prescribed by regulation.
A designation may include requirements about any or all of the following—
works for the infrastructure (the height, shape, bulk, landscaping, or location of works, for example);
the use of premises, for example—
vehicular and pedestrian access to, and circulation on, premises; and
operating times for the use; and
ancillary uses;
lessening the impact of the works or use (environmental management procedures, for example).
The chief executive may, by notice, require a local government to include a matter in subsection (2) in a designation made by the local government.
For the effect of a designation on the categorisation of development, see section 44 (6) (b) .
