59 Planning status of certain works, uses or developments in corridors

(1)  A responsible manager in relation to a corridor is not, in relation to –

(a) emergency works within the corridor; or

(b) routine works that are carried out wholly within the corridor in order to attain the corridor safety and use objectives –

required to comply with the requirements of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 .

(2)  Despite any provision of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 or of a planning scheme within the meaning of that Act, all uses or developments on corridor land, other than works referred to in subsection (1) , are taken to be uses or developments that a planning authority has a discretion either to refuse or permit in accordance with section 57 of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 .

(3)  To avoid doubt over the application of subsection (1)(b) , the question of whether works are carried out wholly within a corridor is to be determined irrespective of whether a responsible manager has to access adjoining land to carry out those works.
