It also includes any commencement, amendment, repeal or expiry affecting this republished law to 1 June 2020. The legislation history and amendment history of the republished law are set out in endnotes 3 and 4. Kinds of republications The Parliamentary Counsel’s Office prepares 2 kinds of republications of ACT laws (see the ACT legislation register at www.legislation.act.gov.au): • authorised republications to which the Legislation Act 2001 applies • unauthorised republications. The status of this republication appears on the bottom of each page. Editorial changes The Legislation Act 2001, part 11.3 authorises the Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial amendments and other changes of a formal nature when preparing a law for republication. Editorial changes do not change the effect of the law, but have effect as if they had been made by an Act commencing on the republication date (see Legislation Act 2001, s 115 and s 117). The changes are made if the Parliamentary Counsel considers they are desirable to bring the law into line, or more closely into line, with current legislative drafting practice. This republication does not include amendments made under part 11.3 (see endnote 1). Uncommenced provisions and amendments If a provision of the republished law has not commenced, the symbol U appears immediately before the provision heading.

Under this chapter, applications may be made, and notice may be given, electronically in certain circumstances (see the Electronic Transactions Act 2001). Part 7.1 Outline 112 Outline—ch 7 (1) This chapter describes the assessment tracks that are to be followed for assessment of different kinds of development proposals. (2) The assessment tracks are as follows: (a) code track (for development proposals that can be assessed using rules in the code that applies to the proposals); Examples of possible code track proposals 1 large pergola 2 below ground swimming pool 3 dual occupancy proposal 4 house extension (b) merit track (for development proposals that can be assessed using the rules and criteria in the code that applies to the proposals); Examples of possible merit track proposals 1 childcare centre in residential area 2 gymnasium in commercial area 3 apartment in commercial area http://www.legislation.act.gov.au/a/2001-10 Development approvals Chapter 7 Outline Part 7.1 Section 112 R93 01/06/20 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 page 97 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au (c) impact track (for development proposals that can be assessed using the rules and criteria in the code that applies to the proposals, relevant environmental impact statements and the statement of strategic directions). Examples of possible impact track proposals 1 constructing a major dam 2 constructing a major road, light rail line or other linear transport corridor 3 clearing a significant area of native vegetation (3) This chapter also sets out— (a) when a development (an exempt development) may be undertaken without development approval; and (b) when a development (a prohibited development) must not be undertaken. Examples of possible exempt developments 1 single residence in new housing area 2 small shed Examples of possible prohibited developments 1 a paint factory in a residential area 2 commercial office accommodation in a suburban area Chapter 7 Development approvals Part 7.2 Assessment tracks for development applications Division 7.2.1 Operation of assessment tracks generally Section 113 page 98 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 R93 01/06/20 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au Part 7.2 Assessment tracks for development applications Division 7.2.1 Operation of assessment tracks generally 113 Relationship between development proposals and development applications (1) A person who has a development proposal may apply to the planning and land authority for approval to undertake the development proposed. (2) The determination of which assessment track applies to a development proposal is made by reference to circumstances when the application is made. (3) Subsection (2) does not apply if, after the application is made— (a) the Minister makes a declaration under section 124 (Minister may declare impact track applicable) in relation to the development proposal; or (b) the Public Health Act Minister makes a declaration for section 125 (Declaration by Public Health Act Minister affects assessment track) in relation to the application. (4) If an assessment track applies to a development proposal, the proposal is in that assessment track and that track must be followed in assessing the development application for the proposal. (5) Subsection (4) is subject to section 123 (c), (d) and (e) (Impact track applicability). Development approvals Chapter 7 Assessment tracks for development applications Part 7.2 Operation of assessment tracks generally Division 7.2.1 Section 114 R93 01/06/20 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 page 99 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au 114 Application of assessment tracks to development proposals (1) The development table sets out the criteria to allow the assessment track for a development application for a development proposal to be worked out. (2) To remove any doubt— (a) the planning and land authority may refuse to accept a development application made in an assessment track other than the assessment track for the development proposal; and (b) if the authority assesses a development application made in an assessment track other than the track for the proposal, the authority must refuse the application. 115 Application of inconsistent code requirements (1) This section applies in relation to an application for development approval for a development proposal if— (a) 2 or more codes apply to the proposal; and (b) the requirements under each code (the code requirements) that apply to the proposal are inconsistent. (2) If the code requirements of a precinct code and either a development code or a general code are inconsistent, the code requirements of the precinct code apply to the development proposal and not the code requirements of the development code or general code, to the extent of the inconsistency. Chapter 7 Development approvals Part 7.2 Assessment tracks for development applications Division 7.2.2 Code track Section 116 page 100 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 R93 01/06/20 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au (3) If the code requirements of a development code and a general code are inconsistent, the code requirements of the development code apply to the development proposal and not the code requirements of the general code, to the extent of the inconsistency. (4) If the code requirements of 2 or more precinct codes, development codes or general codes are inconsistent, the code requirements of the more recent code apply to the development approval and not the code requirements of the earlier code, to the extent of the inconsistency. (5) To remove any doubt, a code requirement is not inconsistent with the code requirements of another code only because one code deals with a matter and the other does not. Division 7.2.2 Code track 116 Code track—when development approval must be given Development approval must be given for a development proposal on application if— (a) the proposal is in the code track; and (b) the proposal complies with the relevant rules. Note 1 Relevant rules—see the dictionary. Note 2 Rules—see the dictionary. Note 3 If a development application is made in the code track, but the development proposal is in another track, the application must be refused (see s 114 (2)). Development approvals Chapter 7 Assessment tracks for development applications Part 7.2 Code track Division 7.2.2 Section 116A R93 01/06/20 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 page 101 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au 116A Code track—effect of s 134 on development approval (1) This section applies if— (a) an authorised use of the land, or an existing building or structure on the land, is exempt under section 134 (1) (Exempt development—authorised use); and (b) there is a development proposal in relation to the land; and (c) if the proposed development were carried out, the authorised use of the land, or an existing building or structure on the land, would stop being exempt under section 134 (2) or (3); and (d) if a development application were made for both the development proposal and a use mentioned in subsection (2) (b), the application would be assessed in the code track. (2) The person proposing the development proposal must apply for development approval for— (a) the development proposal; and (b) any use (the proposed use) of the land, or a building or structure on the land, that— (i) is an authorised use of land, or a building or structure on the land that is exempt under section 134 (1); and (ii) is intended to continue to apply to the land after the development proposal is carried out. (3) In deciding the development application in the code track, the decision-maker— (a) must not refuse to approve the application only on the ground that, if the application were an application only for the proposed use the application would be refused; and Chapter 7 Development approvals Part 7.2 Assessment tracks for development applications Division 7.2.2 Code track Section 117 page 102 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 R93 01/06/20 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au (b) must not approve the application on a condition only because, if the application were an application only for the proposed use the application would be approved on the condition. Example Bernice is the lessee of land for which the authorised use is residential and on which there is a house. The authorised use is exempt under s 134 (1). Bernice wants to build a double garage on the land which will require development approval. If the double garage was built, the authorised use of the land would stop being exempt under s 134 (3). In addition to applying for development approval to build and use the double garage, Bernice must also apply for development approval to use the land and house for residential purposes. The decision-maker cannot refuse to approve the application, or approve it on a condition, only on the ground that, if the application were only for the use of the land for residential purposes, or use of the house, the decision-maker would refuse the application or approve it on conditions. 117 Code track—notification, right of review, governmental consultation and reconsideration To remove any doubt— (a) there is no requirement to publicly notify a development proposal in the code track; and (b) there is only a right of review under chapter 13 for a decision in relation to a development proposal in the code track by the applicant if the development application for the proposal is approved subject to a condition; and (c) there is no referral under division 7.3.3 (Referral of development applications) of a development application for a development proposal in the code track; and (d) a decision to refuse a development application for a development proposal in the code track may not be reconsidered under division 7.3.10.

(d) each representation received by the authority in relation to the application that has not been withdrawn; (e) if the design review panel provided the proponent with design advice about the development proposal— (i) the design advice; and (ii) the proponent’s response to the design advice; (f) if an entity gave advice on the application in accordance with section 149 (Requirement to give advice in relation to development applications)—the entity’s advice; Note Advice on an application is given in accordance with section 149 if the advice is given by an entity not later than 15 working days (or shorter prescribed period) after the day the application is given to the entity. If the entity gives no response, the entity is taken to have given advice that supported the application (see s 150). (g) if the proposed development relates to land that is public land— the public land management plan for the land; (h) the probable impact of the proposed development, including the nature, extent and significance of probable environmental impacts. 120A Merit track—effect of s 134 on development approval (1) This section applies if— (a) an authorised use of the land, or an existing building or structure on the land, is exempt under section 134 (1) (Exempt development—authorised use); and Development approvals Chapter 7 Assessment tracks for development applications Part 7.2 Merit track Division 7.2.3 Section 120A R93 01/06/20 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 page 107 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au (b) there is a development proposal in relation to the land; and (c) if the proposed development were carried out, the authorised use of the land, or an existing building or structure on the land, would stop being exempt under section 134 (2) or (3); and (d) if a development application were made for both the development proposal and a use mentioned in subsection (2) (b), the application would be considered in the merit track. (2) The person proposing the development proposal must apply for development approval for— (a) the development proposal; and (b) any use (the proposed use) of the land, or a building or structure on the land, that— (i) is an authorised use of land, or a building or structure on the land that is exempt under section 134 (1); and (ii) is intended to continue to apply to the land after the development proposal is carried out. (3) In deciding the development application in the merit track, the decision-maker— (a) must not refuse to approve the application only on the ground that, if the application were an application only for the proposed use the application would be refused; and Chapter 7 Development approvals Part 7.2 Assessment tracks for development applications Division 7.2.3 Merit track Section 121 page 108 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 R93 01/06/20 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au (b) must not approve the application on a condition only because, if the application were an application only for the proposed use the application would be approved on the condition. Example Donald is the lessee of land for which the authorised uses are residential, retail and commercial, and on which there is a building that is mixed residential and retail, and another building that is used for commercial. Donald wants to demolish the commercial building, which will require a development approval. Donald does not want to use the land for commercial purposes any more. If the commercial building was demolished, the authorised uses of the land would stop being exempt under s 134 (3). In addition to applying for development approval to demolish the commercial building, Donald must also apply for development approval to use the land for residential and retail purposes, but need not apply for approval for use for commercial purposes. The decision-maker cannot refuse to approve the application, or approve it on a condition, only on the ground that, if the application were only for the use of the land and for residential purposes or retail purposes, or use of the mixed residential and retail building, the decision-maker would refuse the application or approve it on conditions. 121 Merit track—notification and right of review (1) To remove any doubt, if a development proposal is in the merit track, the application for development approval for the proposal must be publicly notified under division 7.3.4. (2) If there is a right of review under chapter 13 in relation to a decision to approve an application for development approval for a development proposal in the merit track, the right of review is only in relation to the decision, or part of the decision, to the extent that— (a) the development proposal is subject to a rule and does not comply with the rule; or (b) no rule applies to the development proposal.

(2) In this section: completed concurrent process—see section 162 (7). Division 7.2.4 Impact track 123 Impact track applicability The impact track applies to a development proposal if— (a) the relevant development table states that the impact track applies; or Chapter 7 Development approvals Part 7.2 Assessment tracks for development applications Division 7.2.4 Impact track Section 123 page 110 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 R93 01/06/20 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au (b) the proposal is of a kind mentioned in schedule 4; or Note For certain proposals mentioned in sch 4, a proponent may apply under s 138AA (2) for an environmental significance opinion from a relevant agency that the proposal is not likely to have a significant adverse environmental impact. The production of the opinion by the agency will take the proposal out of the impact track unless other reasons under this section apply. (c) the Minister makes a declaration under section 124 in relation to the proposal; or (d) section 125 (Declaration by Public Health Act Minister affects assessment track) or section 132 (Impact track applicable to development proposals not otherwise provided for) provides that the impact track applies to the proposal; or (e) the Commonwealth Minister responsible for administering the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) advises the Minister in writing that the development proposed— (i) is a controlled action under that Act, section 76; and (ii) does not require assessment under that Act, part 8 (Assessing impacts of controlled actions) because a bilateral agreement between the Commonwealth and the Territory under that Act allows the proposal to be assessed under this Act. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Series/C2004A00485 http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Series/C2004A00485 Development approvals Chapter 7 Assessment tracks for development applications Part 7.2 Impact track Division 7.2.4 Section 124 R93 01/06/20 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 page 111 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au 124 Minister may declare impact track applicable (1) The Minister may, in writing, declare that the impact track applies to a development proposal. (2) However, the Minister must not make a declaration under subsection (1) in relation to a development proposal unless satisfied on reasonable grounds that there is a risk of significant adverse environmental impact from the development proposed. Note The Minister may publish guidelines about how the Minister will exercise power under this section (see s 420). 124A Meaning of significant adverse environmental impact (1) For this Act, an adverse environmental impact is significant if— (a) the environmental function, system, value or entity that might be adversely impacted by a proposed development is significant; or (b) the cumulative or incremental effect of a proposed development might contribute to a substantial adverse impact on an environmental function, system, value or entity. (2) In deciding whether an adverse environmental impact is significant, the following matters must be taken into account: (a) the kind, size, frequency, intensity, scope and length of time of the impact; (b) the sensitivity, resilience and rarity of the environmental function, system, value or entity likely to be affected. (3) In deciding whether a development proposal is likely to have a significant adverse environmental impact it does not matter whether the adverse environmental impact is likely to occur on the site of the development or elsewhere.

Example Barbara is the lessee of land for which the authorised uses are retail and commercial and on which there are office buildings and shops. Barbara wants to undertake earthworks to clear an area of vegetation for people to park on the land, which will require a development approval. If the earthworks were carried out, the authorised uses of the land would stop being exempt under s 134 (2). In addition to applying for development approval to undertake the earthworks, Barbara must also apply for development approval to use the land for retail and commercial purposes. The decision-maker cannot refuse to approve the application, or approve it on a condition, only on the ground that, if the application were only for the use of the land for retail purposes or commercial purposes, or use of the office buildings and shops, the decision-maker would refuse the application or approve it on conditions. 130 Impact track—notification and right of review If a development proposal is in the impact track, the application for development approval for the proposal must be publicly notified under division 7.3.4 and there may be a right of review under chapter 13 by someone other than the applicant in relation to the decision on the application. 131 Impact track—time for decision on application (1) A development application in relation to a development proposal in the impact track must be decided under section 162 (Deciding development applications) not later than— (a) 10 working days after the day— (i) for a concurrent development application—the concurrent process is completed; Development approvals Chapter 7 Assessment tracks for development applications Part 7.2 Development proposals not in development table and not exempted Division 7.2.5 Section 131A R93 01/06/20 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 page 123 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au (ii) for an application for development approval of a development proposal made under section 137AB (Applications in anticipation of territory plan variation— made after draft plan variation prepared)—the draft plan variation has commenced under section 83 or section 84; or (b) if paragraph (a) does not apply— (i) if no representation is made in relation to the proposal— 30 working days after the day the application is made to the planning and land authority; or (ii) in any other case—45 working days after the day the application is made to the authority.

Examples—suitable information works assessor or building surveyor has or has reasonable access to 1 The website www.actmapi.act.gov.au provides aerial photographs and topographical information including ground contours for some ACT areas. If the land to which an application relates is covered by the website, the photographs and contours have sufficient information, and are accurate and recent enough, to decide the application in relation to tree and ground-height related matters, the works assessor or building surveyor may not require further information or documents by way of photographs or topographical information in relation to trees and ground heights. 2 A works assessor or building surveyor may verify land tenure and permit and statutory approval matters by contacting the statutory custodians of the information to a sufficient degree to decide the application in relation to those matters. The works assessor or building surveyor may not require further information in relation to those matters. http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/tools resources/maps land survey/maps/actmapi2 Chapter 7 Development approvals Part 7.3 Development applications Division 7.3.1A Exemption assessments Section 138F page 158 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 R93 01/06/20 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au 3 The land to which an application relates is covered by www.actmapi.act.gov.au but, because the slope of the land to be built on is steeper than would be adequately shown on the website, the works assessor or building surveyor does not have suitable information to allow the works assessor or building surveyor to decide the application without personally inspecting the land. Another website has some topographical information on the land, but it is not of sufficient resolution, or recent enough, to be relied on by the works assessor or building surveyor in relation to ground heights to decide the application. The works assessor or building surveyor may require further information in relation to ground heights. (4) For this section, a works assessor or building surveyor that is a partnership inspects land personally if any partner inspects the land. 138F Exemption assessment applications—contents of request for further information (1) A request under section 138E must— (a) state the period within which the further information asked for must be provided; and (b) if the further information is not a document—state that the further information must be provided in writing; and (c) state that the applicant need not provide the further information, but if the applicant fails to provide some or all of the information in accordance with the request, the works assessor or building surveyor may under section 138G refuse to issue an exemption assessment D notice; and (d) state that, despite the applicant and works assessor or building surveyor having previously not agreed that the works assessor or building surveyor would obtain the further information, the applicant and works assessor or building surveyor may agree that the works assessor or building surveyor will obtain the information. http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/tools resources/maps land survey/maps/actmapi2 Development approvals Chapter 7 Development applications Part 7.3 Exemption assessments Division 7.3.1A Section 138G R93 01/06/20 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 page 159 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au (2) The request may require the applicant to include a statement verifying all or part of any information provided.

Example Philip has development approval (the original approval) to build a house. Philip starts to build the house, but discovers that he needs an extra room in the house. He applies to amend the original approval. In considering whether to amend the original approval, the planning and land authority must treat the application to amend as if the house has been built in accordance with the original approval, and the application is for approval to add an extra room. This means the authority must assess the application in the assessment track that would apply to an application to add an extra room, and any requirement to notify agencies or publish the application would have to be followed. Note 1 A decision of the planning and land authority to amend a development approval subject to a condition, or refuse to amend a development approval, may be reconsidered under pt 7.3.10 (see s 191 (1) (a)). The approval holder may apply for review of a decision under s 193 (1) (b) (ii) to confirm the original decision (see sch 1, item 13). Note 2 The decision-maker must decide whether to amend the development approval as soon as possible (see Legislation Act, s 151B). Note 3 The Minister may delegate the decision to the planning and land authority (see Legislation Act, s 254A). (2) However, section 162 (4) (Deciding development applications) does not apply to the application. (3) If the decision-maker is the Minister, the Minister may ask the planning and land authority to prepare a report for the Minister in relation to the application on anything the Minister considers relevant. (4) The Minister may, in deciding to amend or to refuse to amend a development approval, consider the report prepared by the planning and land authority. http://www.legislation.act.gov.au/a/2001-14 http://www.legislation.act.gov.au/a/2001-14 Chapter 7 Development approvals Part 7.3 Development applications Division 7.3.11 Correction and amendment of development approvals Section 198 page 248 Planning and Development Act 2007 Effective: 01/06/20 R93 01/06/20 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au (5) The decision-maker must refuse to amend the development approval if satisfied that— (a) if the original proposal was in the code track—the changed development proposal would be in the merit track or impact track; or (b) if the original proposal was in the merit track—the changed development proposal would be in the impact track; or (c) the changed development proposal would be in breach of a condition on the approval— (i) imposed (rather than confirmed or varied) by a court or tribunal; or (ii) relating to a conditional environmental significance opinion; or Note 1 Conditional environmental significance opinion— see s 138AB (4) (b). Note 2 If a conditional environmental significance opinion has been given for a development, the development approval must include a condition that the development comply with the condition in the environmental significance opinion (see s 165 (2) (d)). (d) if the original development approval included an offset condition—the offset condition on the approval as amended would not provide an offset at least equivalent to the offset provided by the original approval. Note Offset condition, for a development approval—see s 165B. (6) Also, the decision-maker must refuse to amend a development approval unless satisfied that, after the amendment, the development approved will be substantially the same as the development for which approval was originally given.
