STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICY (RURAL LANDS) 2008 - REG 9

9 Rural subdivision for agricultural purposes

(1) The objective of this clause is to provide flexibility in the application of standards for subdivision in rural zones to allow land owners a greater chance to achieve the objectives for development in the relevant zone.

(2) Land in a rural zone may, with consent, be subdivided for the purpose of primary production to create a lot of a size that is less than the minimum size otherwise permitted for that land.

(3) However, such a lot cannot be created if an existing dwelling would, as the result of the subdivision, be situated on the lot.

(4) A dwelling cannot be erected on such a lot.

(5) State Environmental Planning Policy No 1-Development Standards does not apply to a development standard under this clause.
