(1) Only uses that the consent authority is satisfied are consistent with the zone objectives are permissible in this zone. However, the consent authority may consent to other uses being carried out beneath land used as a public recreation area.

(2) The objectives of this zone are—

(a) to establish public recreation areas which serve the needs of residents and workers within Ultimo-Pyrmont and the adjoining suburbs, and

(b) to provide public access to all parts of the public domain, especially waterfront areas and escarpments, and

(c) to provide a variety of public areas and recreational opportunities, and

(d) to provide for facilities that accommodate or are ancillary to recreational activities relating to the use of the public domain.

(3) Uses permissible in the zone adjoining the Public Recreation zone are also permissible in the Public Recreation zone for a distance of 10 metres from the zone boundary if, in the opinion of the consent authority, it would allow a better relationship between use of land as a public recreation area and use of the adjoining land and would not decrease the total amount of land that will be available for use as a public recreation area.
