3 What are the purposes of this plan?

The purposes of this plan are—

(a) as far as possible, to integrate into one document all environmental planning instruments affecting the development of land in Warringah and ensure that this plan is the sole environmental planning instrument applying to the land to which it relates, and

(b) to describe the desired characters of the localities that make up Warringah and relate the controls on development to the achievement of the desired characters of those places, and

(c) to establish limits to the exercise of discretion with regard to the control of development, and

(d) to provide decision-making processes appropriate to the nature and extent of discretion to be exercised, and

(e) to protect and promote the use and development of land for arts and cultural activity, including music and other performance arts.

Note—

The term development is defined broadly by the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the EP&A Act) and includes the erection of buildings, the carrying out of works, the use of land or of a building or work on that land, and the subdivision of land.
