19 Exceptions to development standards—transitional Part 3A projects

(1) A development standard imposed by this or any other environmental planning instrument on development that is part of a transitional Part 3A project, and is within the Greystanes SEL site, does not apply to that development if the Secretary is satisfied, and issues a certificate to the effect, that—

(a) compliance with the development standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances of the case, and

(b) there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify exempting the development from that development standard.

(2) In deciding whether to issue a certificate, the Secretary must consider—

(a) whether contravention of the development standard raises any matter of significance for State or regional environmental planning, and

(b) the public benefit of maintaining the development standard, and

(c) any other matters required to be taken into consideration by the Secretary.
