(b) must be satisfied that the development is appropriate and is compatible with permissible
land uses in any such adjoining land.
(1) Development on particular land that is described or referred to in Schedule 1 may be carried
out—
(a) with development consent, or
in accordance with the conditions (if any) specified in that Schedule in relation to that
development.
(2) This clause has effect despite anything to the contrary in the Land Use Table or other provision
of this Plan.
(1) Land to which this Plan applies may be subdivided, but only with development consent.
Notes.
1 If a subdivision is specified as exempt development in an applicable environmental planning instrument,
such as this Plan or State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes)
2008, the Act enables it to be carried out without development consent.
2 Part 6 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008
provides that the strata subdivision of a building in certain circumstances is complying development.
(2) Development consent must not be granted for the subdivision of land on which a secondary
dwelling is situated if the subdivision would result in the principal dwelling and the secondary
dwelling being situated on separate lots, unless the resulting lots are not less than the minimum
size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land.
Note. The definition of secondary dwelling in the Dictionary requires the dwelling to be on the same lot of
land as the principal dwelling.
The demolition of a building or work may be carried out only with development consent.
Note. If the demolition of a building or work is identified in an applicable environmental planning instrument, such
as this Plan or State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, as
exempt development, the Act enables it to be carried out without development consent.
(1) The objective of this clause is to provide for the temporary use of land if the use does not
compromise future development of the land, or have detrimental economic, social, amenity or
environmental effects on the land.
(2) Despite any other provision of this Plan, development consent may be granted for development
Current version for 30 June 2023 to date (accessed 16 August 2023 at 11:06) Page 10 of 163
Ku-ring-gai Local Environmental Plan 2015 [NSW]
on land in any zone for a temporary use for a maximum period of 52 days (whether or not
consecutive days) in any period of 12 months.
(3) Development consent must not be granted unless the consent authority is satisfied that—
(a) the temporary use will not prejudice the subsequent carrying out of development on the land
in accordance with this Plan and any other applicable environmental planning instrument,
and
(b) the temporary use will not adversely impact on any adjoining land or the amenity of the
neighbourhood, and
(c) the temporary use and location of any structures related to the use will not adversely impact
on environmental attributes or features of the land, or increase the risk of natural hazards
that may affect the land, and
(d) at the end of the temporary use period the land will, as far as is practicable, be restored to
the condition in which it was before the commencement of the use.
(4) Despite subclause (2), the temporary use of a dwelling as a sales office for a new release area or
a new housing estate may exceed the maximum number of days specified in that subclause.
(5) Subclause (3)(d) does not apply to the temporary use of a dwelling as a sales office mentioned in
subclause (4).
(1) Canal estate development is prohibited on land to which this Plan applies.
(2) In this Plan, canal estate development means development that involves—
(a) a constructed canal, or other waterway or waterbody, that—
(i) is inundated by surface water or groundwater movement, or
(3) Canal estate development does not include development for the purposes of drainage or the
supply or treatment of water if the development is—
(a) carried out by or with the authority of a person or body responsible for the drainage, supply
or treatment, and

(b) to set out rules for the calculation of the site area of development for the purpose of
applying permitted floor space ratios, including rules to—
(i) prevent the inclusion in the site area of an area that has no significant development
being carried out on it, and
(ii) prevent the inclusion in the site area of an area that has already been included as part of
a site area to maximise floor space area in another building, and
(iii) require community land and public places to be dealt with separately.
(2) Definition of “floor space ratio” The floor space ratio of buildings on a site is the ratio of the
gross floor area of all buildings within the site to the site area.
(3) Site area In determining the site area of proposed development for the purpose of applying a floor
space ratio, the site area is taken to be—
(a) if the proposed development is to be carried out on only one lot, the area of that lot, or
(b) if the proposed development is to be carried out on 2 or more lots, the area of any lot on
which the development is proposed to be carried out that has at least one common boundary
with another lot on which the development is being carried out.
In addition, subclauses (4)–(7) apply to the calculation of site area for the purposes of applying a
floor space ratio to proposed development.
(4) Exclusions from site area The following land must be excluded from the site area—
(a) land on which the proposed development is prohibited, whether under this Plan or any other
law,
(5) Strata subdivisions The area of a lot that is wholly or partly on top of another or others in a strata

Ku-ring-gai Local Environmental Plan 2015 [NSW]
subdivision is to be included in the calculation of the site area only to the extent that it does not
overlap with another lot already included in the site area calculation.
(6) Only significant development to be included The site area for proposed development must not
include a lot additional to a lot or lots on which the development is being carried out unless the
proposed development includes significant development on that additional lot.
(7) Certain public land to be separately considered For the purpose of applying a floor space ratio to
any proposed development on, above or below community land or a public place, the site area
must only include an area that is on, above or below that community land or public place, and is
occupied or physically affected by the proposed development, and may not include any other
area on which the proposed development is to be carried out.
(8) Existing buildings The gross floor area of any existing or proposed buildings within the vertical
projection (above or below ground) of the boundaries of a site is to be included in the
calculation of the total floor space for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio, whether or
not the proposed development relates to all of the buildings.
(9) Covenants to prevent “double dipping” When development consent is granted to development on
a site comprised of 2 or more lots, a condition of the consent may require a covenant to be
registered that prevents the creation of floor area on a lot (the restricted lot) if the consent
authority is satisfied that an equivalent quantity of floor area will be created on another lot only
because the site included the restricted lot.
(b) proposed development relates to the affected land and other land that together comprise the
site of the proposed development,
the maximum amount of floor area allowed on the other land by the floor space ratio fixed for
the site by this Plan is reduced by the quantity of floor space area the covenant prevents being
created on the affected land.
(11) Definition In this clause, public place has the same meaning as it has in the Local Government
Act 1993.
(b) to achieve better outcomes for and from development by allowing flexibility in particular
circumstances.
(2) Development consent may, subject to this clause, be granted for development even though the
development would contravene a development standard imposed by this or any other
environmental planning instrument. However, this clause does not apply to a development
standard that is expressly excluded from the operation of this clause.

(3) Development consent must not be granted for development that contravenes a development
standard unless the consent authority has considered a written request from the applicant that
seeks to justify the contravention of the development standard by demonstrating—
(a) that compliance with the development standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the
circumstances of the case, and
(b) that there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify contravening the
development standard.
(4) Development consent must not be granted for development that contravenes a development
standard unless—
(a) the consent authority is satisfied that—
(i) the applicant’s written request has adequately addressed the matters required to be
demonstrated by subclause (3), and
(ii) the proposed development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the
objectives of the particular standard and the objectives for development within the zone
in which the development is proposed to be carried out, and
(5) In deciding whether to grant concurrence, the Planning Secretary must consider—
(a) whether contravention of the development standard raises any matter of significance for
State or regional environmental planning, and
(c) any other matters required to be taken into consideration by the Planning Secretary before
granting concurrence.
(6) Development consent must not be granted under this clause for a subdivision of land in Zone
RU1 Primary Production, Zone RU2 Rural Landscape, Zone RU3 Forestry, Zone RU4 Primary
Production Small Lots, Zone RU6 Transition, Zone R5 Large Lot Residential, Zone C2
Environmental Conservation, Zone C3 Environmental Management or Zone C4 Environmental

(a) the subdivision will result in 2 or more lots of less than the minimum area specified for such
lots by a development standard, or
(b) the subdivision will result in at least one lot that is less than 90% of the minimum area
specified for such a lot by a development standard.
Note. When this Plan was made it did not include all of these zones.
(7) After determining a development application made pursuant to this clause, the consent authority
must keep a record of its assessment of the factors required to be addressed in the applicant’s
written request referred to in subclause (3).
(8) This clause does not allow development consent to be granted for development that would
contravene any of the following—

(1) The objective of this clause is to enable the Council to classify or reclassify public land as
“operational land” or “community land” in accordance with Part 2 of Chapter 6 of the Local
Government Act 1993.
Note. Under the Local Government Act 1993, “public land” is generally land vested in or under the control of
a council (other than roads and certain Crown land). The classification or reclassification of public land may
also be made by a resolution of the Council under section 31, 32 or 33 of the Local Government Act 1993.
Section 30 of that Act enables this Plan to discharge trusts on which public reserves are held if the land is
reclassified under this Plan as operational land.

discharged from all trusts, estates, interests, dedications, conditions, restrictions and covenants
affecting the land or any part of the land, except—
(a) those (if any) specified for the land in Column 3 of Part 2 of Schedule 4, and
(b) any reservations that except land out of the Crown grant relating to the land, and
(c) reservations of minerals (within the meaning of the Crown Land Management Act 2016).
Note. In accordance with section 30(2) of the Local Government Act 1993, the approval of the Governor to
subclause (5) applying to the public land concerned is required before the description of the land is inserted in
Part 2 of Schedule 4.
(1) The objective of this clause is to provide flexibility where the investigation of a site and its
surroundings reveals that a use allowed on the other side of a zone boundary would enable a
more logical and appropriate development of the site and be compatible with the planning
objectives and land uses for the adjoining zone.
(2) This clause applies to so much of any land that is within the relevant distance of a boundary
between any 2 zones. The relevant distance is 15 metres.
