6 Arrangements for designated State public infrastructure

6.1 Arrangements for designated State public infrastructure

(1) The objective of this clause is to require satisfactory arrangements to be made for the provision of designated State public infrastructure before the subdivision of land in an urban release area to satisfy needs that arise from development on the land, but only if the land is developed intensively for urban purposes.

(2) Development consent must not be granted for the subdivision of land in an urban release area if the subdivision would create a lot smaller than the minimum lot size permitted on the land immediately before the relevant date, unless the Director-General has certified in writing to the consent authority that satisfactory arrangements have been made to contribute to the provision of designated State public infrastructure in relation to that lot.

(3) Subclause (2) does not apply to—

(a) any lot identified in the certificate as a residue lot, or

(b) any lot to be created by a subdivision of land that was the subject of a previous development consent granted in accordance with this clause, or

(c) any lot that is proposed in the development application to be reserved or dedicated for public open space, public roads, public utility undertakings, educational facilities or any other public purpose, or

(d) a subdivision for the purpose only of rectifying an encroachment on any existing lot.

(4) This clause does not apply to land in an urban release area if all or any part of the land is in a region within the meaning of the Act, Division 7.1, Subdivision 4.

(5) In this clause, relevant date means—

(a) in relation to land that became, or became part of, an urban release area under Singleton Local Environmental Plan 1996 (Amendment No 45)—19 December 2008, and

(b) in relation to land that became, or became part of, an urban release area under Singleton Local Environmental Plan 1996 (Amendment No 64)—24 December 2010, and

(c) in relation to all other land—the day the land became, or became part of, an urban release area.
