ENV033-18 Adoption
of Notification and Advertising Development Control Plan - Amended Plans
(Report by Strategic Planner)
|
|
Recommendation: Councillor
Badalati and Councillor Kastanias
(a)
That Council resolve, pursuant to Section 3.43 of the Environmental
Planning and Assessment Act 1979, and in accordance with Clause 21 of the
Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, to approve the
following amendment to Hurstville Development Control Plan No.1 –
Part 2.2, Hurstville Development Control Plan No.2 – Part 2.4 and Kogarah
Development Control Plan 2013 – Part A2 relating to the
notification of amended plans in undetermined development applications and
controls around Class 1 development appeals and residential development
appeals in the Land and Environment Court.
Where
Council received amended plans prior to determination, Council will notify:
(i)
If an application is amended
prior to determination, it will be re-notified if, in the opinion of the
Council Officer, the amendments are considered to result in significant
additional environmental impacts.
(ii)
The notification period may be
reduced if, in the opinion of the Council officer, all persons affected by
the change(s) have been given an opportunity to make a submission.
(iii)
The extent of the
notification to be in accordance with notification area defined by this DCP,
will include persons that made a previous submission and those persons who,
in the opinion of the Council officer, may be affected.
Provisions for notification of amended plans in Class 1 development
appeals in the Land and Environment Court:
(b) In Class 1 development appeals the Court, rather
than Council, is the consent authority.
(i)
If amended plans are submitted as part of a confidential conciliation
conference and the Council’s experts consider that they adequately
address Council’s concerns and can be approved, the amended plans will
not be re-notified. This is because it is not a requirement of the Court and
the resident objectors are not a party to the proceedings and the experts, in
making their assessment, will have regard to the matters for consideration
specified in section 4.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act
1979, including any submissions made.
(ii)
If the applicant is granted leave by the Court to rely on amended
plans during the course of an appeal, the amended plans will be re-notified
by Council if required under this DCP to the extent that the Court, in its
discretion, determines that re-notification takes place.
(c)
That Council give public notice of the decision to approve the
amendment to Hurstville Development Control Plan No.1, Hurstville Development
Control Plan No.2 and Kogarah Development Control Plan 2013 in the local
paper within 28 days in accordance with Clause 21 of the Environmental
Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000.
(d) That
the Mayor write to the Minister for Planning and the local members concerning
the requirements of the Land and Environment Court in not renotifying amended
plans and therefore not allowing residents a chance to comment on development
within their neighbourhood.
