32 Reclassification of land dedicated under sec 94 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979

(1) A council may resolve that land dedicated in accordance with a condition imposed under section 94 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 is to be reclassified as operational land.
(2) A council may make such a resolution only if it is satisfied that the land has been found to be unsuitable for the provision, extension or augmentation of public amenities and public services because of any one or more of the following--
• the size of the land
• the shape of the land
• the topography of the land
• the location of the land
• the difficulty of providing public access to the land.
(3) The council must specify in the resolution the grounds on which it is satisfied the land is unsuitable.
(4) Before making the resolution, the council must give public notice of the resolution. The public notice must specify a period of not less than 28 days during which submissions may be made to the council.
(5) The net proceeds of sale by a council of any land dedicated in accordance with a condition imposed under section 94 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 must be dealt with under that section as if those net proceeds were a monetary contribution paid instead of the dedication.
