17.Zoning table

The zoning table for this Scheme is as follows —

(Insert zoning table.)

18.Interpreting zoning table

(1)The permissibility of uses of land in the various zones in the Scheme area is determined by cross‑reference between the list of use classes on the left hand side of the zoning table and the list of zones at the top of the zoning table.

(2)The symbols used in the zoning table have the following meanings —

Pmeans that the use is permitted if it complies with any relevant development standards and requirements of this Scheme;

Imeans that the use is permitted if it is consequent on, or naturally attaching, appertaining or relating to the predominant use of the land and it complies with any relevant development standards and requirements of this Scheme;

Dmeans that the use is not permitted unless the local government has exercised its discretion by granting development approval;

Ameans that the use is not permitted unless the local government has exercised its discretion by granting development approval after giving notice in accordance with clause 64 of the deemed provisions;

Xmeans that the use is not permitted by this Scheme.

(A symbol must appear in the cross‑reference of a use class against all the zones in the zoning table.)

Note:

1.The development approval of the local government may be required to carry out works on land in addition to any approval granted for the use of land. In normal circumstances one application is made for both the carrying out of works on, and the use of, land. For development on land that does not require development approval see clause 61 of the deemed provisions.

In considering an application for development approval, the local government will have regard to clause 67 of the deemed provisions.

(3)A specific use class referred to in the zoning table is excluded from any other use class described in more general terms.

(4)The local government may, in respect of a use that is not specifically referred to in the zoning table and that cannot reasonably be determined as falling within a use class referred to in the zoning table —

(a)determine that the use is consistent with the objectives of a particular zone and is therefore a use that may be permitted in the zone subject to conditions imposed by the local government; or

(b)determine that the use may be consistent with the objectives of a particular zone and give notice under clause 64 of the deemed provisions before considering an application for development approval for the use of the land; or

(c)determine that the use is not consistent with the objectives of a particular zone and is therefore not permitted in the zone.

(5)If a use of land is identified in a zone as being a class P or class I use, the local government may not refuse an application for development approval for that use in that zone but may require works that are to be undertaken in connection with that use to have development approval.

(6)If a use of land is identified in a zone as being a class X use, the local government must refuse an application for development approval for that use in that zone unless —

(a)the development approval application relates to land that is being used for a non‑conforming use; and

(b)the local government considers that the proposed use of the land would be less detrimental than the non‑conforming use.

(7)If the zoning table does not identify any permissible uses for land in a zone the local government may, in considering an application for development approval for land within the zone, have due regard to any of the following plans that apply to the land —

(a)a structure plan;

(b)an activity centre plan;

(c)a local development plan.
