5Additional provisions

#### 5 Additional provisions 5 Additional provisions > > (1) Additional provisions may be included in the plan, but only if they are not inconsistent with the mandatory provisions of the standard instrument and comply with any relevant directions in that instrument. > > > (2) Additional provisions included in the plan are to be numbered in accordance with the usual protocol applicable to amendments made to existing Acts and statutory instruments to include additional provisions. > > Note. > > When the standard instrument is amended by a future Order to add a mandatory clause in Parts 1–5, the new clause will ordinarily be added at the end of the relevant Part with sequential numbering. However, if it is necessary to add a new mandatory clause between existing clauses of the standard instrument, it will have a number with double lettering (eg clauses 4.2AA and 4.2BB would appear between clauses 4.2 and 4.3). Only mandatory provisions added by an Order will use double lettering in this manner, and the same convention applies to any additional mandatory subclauses and paragraphs that are inserted in an existing clause. If a whole Part is added by an Order, it will also have double lettering (eg Part 5AA, with clauses starting at 5AA.1) so as to distinguish the Part from any additional non-mandatory (or local) Part that may be included in a local environmental plan that has adopted the standard instrument. > > In the case of additional non-mandatory (or local) provisions of a local environmental plan that has adopted the standard instrument, an additional Part will ordinarily be added after Part 5 with a sequential Part number (eg Parts 6, 7 etc) and clauses in that Part will have sequential numbers (eg clauses 6.1, 6.2 or 7.1, 7.2 etc). However, if it is necessary to add a non-mandatory Part between any of the Parts of the standard instrument, it will have a number with single lettering (eg Part 4A, with clauses starting at clause 4A.1). Any additional non-mandatory clause that appears in Parts 1–5 will also be numbered with the letter “A” or “B” etc, whether it is included at the end of the mandatory Part or between clauses in a mandatory Part). Single lettering will also be used for additional non-mandatory subclauses, paragraphs or subparagraphs that are inserted in a mandatory clause in Parts 1–5. > > **cl 5:** Am 2007 (600), Sch 1 \[3\]; 2010 (161), Sch 1.
