New South Wales Consolidated Regulations

LOCAL GOVERNMENT (GENERAL) REGULATION 2005 - REG 81

81 Local approvals policies-standards

(1) If a person is exempt (because of a local approvals policy) from the requirement to obtain approval for an activity, the exemption is subject to the condition that the activity comply with the standards referred to in clauses 31, 44, 51, 55, 68 and 73.

(2) However, the activity must so comply only to the extent that the provisions (and the standards to which they refer) would apply to the activity if the activity had not been the subject of an exemption under the local approvals policy.

(3) However, if the local approvals policy specifies, as the circumstances (or as part of the circumstances) for the exemption, that the activity is carried out in such part of an area, or such an area, as is specified in the policy, subclauses (1) and (2) do not apply to the activity.

(4) Subclause (3) does not prevent a local approvals policy from specifying compliance with one or more of the standards referred to in subclause (1) as part of the circumstances for an exemption under section 158 (3) of the Act.
