regulating development in the urban development area 17
declared under it. 18
(2) The plan may provide for any matter mentioned in section 19
23(2)(a) or (3). 20
(3) Until a development scheme for the area takes effect, the plan 21
has effect as if a development scheme were in force for the 22
area and the interim land use plan was the land use plan 23
included in the development scheme. 24
9 Expiry of interim land use plan 25
(1) An interim land use plan for an urban development area 26
expires 12 months after it commences. 27

(2) The Minister must, when the regulation is tabled in the 12
Legislative Assembly under the Statutory Instruments Act 13

Note-- 15
The authority must keep a register of interim land use plans as amended 16
from time to time, and publish them on its website. See section 132. 17
(3) A failure to comply with this section does not invalidate or 18
otherwise affect the regulation. 19
11 Revocation or reduction of urban development area 20
(1) This section applies if it is proposed to amend or revoke a 21
declaration regulation (the UDA change) so that land in an 22
urban development area will no longer be in an urban 23
development area. 24
(2) Subject to subsection (4), the Minister may, by notice to the 25
relevant local government, make an amendment of the local 26
government's planning instruments to provide for the land 27
(the planning instrument change). 28

the planning instrument change. 10
(7) The planning instrument change takes effect at the same time 11
as the UDA change. 12
12 Interim local laws 13
(1) This section applies if land ceases to be in an urban 14
development area and, immediately before the cessation, 15
by-laws applied to the area. 16
(2) A regulation may make a local law (the interim local law) for 17
the land, about any matter provided for under the by-laws. 18
(3) However, the regulation may be made only if the relevant 19
local government has agreed to the making of the regulation. 20
(4) For the Local Government Act 1993, the interim local law is 21
taken to have been made under that Act by the relevant local 22
government. 23

the IPA development approval or the conditions, or a decision 9
relating to any of them. 10

not limit or otherwise affect any appeal mentioned in section 12
16(3). 13

would have been the assessing authority had-- 16
(a) the relevant land never been in an urban development 17
area; and 18
(b) an IPA development application been made for the 19
relevant development when the UDA development 20

reflect regional plan 11
`(1) This section applies to a local government prescribed under 12
section 2.5A.2(1) for a designated region unless the regional 13
planning Minister for the region gives the local government a 14
written direction to the contrary. 15
`(2) The local government must amend its planning scheme under 16
schedule 1 to reflect the designated region's regional plan as 17
made, amended or replaced. 18
`(3) The regional planning Minister for the designated region may 19
amend the planning scheme if-- 20
(a) the regional planning Minister is satisfied a local 21
government must amend its planning scheme under 22
subsection (2); and 23
(b) the local government has not, within 90 business days 24
after the day notice of the making of the designated 25
region's regional plan was gazetted, complied with 26

`(4) Schedule 1, sections 12 to 17 and 19 to 21 apply for amending 28
the planning scheme under subsection (3). 29
`(5) However, for subsection (4), and if the context requires, a 30
reference in schedule 1 to-- 31
s 154 96 s 154
Urban Land Development Authority Bill 2007
(a) the local government is a reference to the regional 1
planning Minister for the designated region; and 2
(b) a decision of the local government is a reference to a 3
decision of the regional planning Minister for the 4
designated region; and 5
(c) a local government's chief executive officer is a 6
reference to the chief executive of the department; and 7
(d) the local government's public office is a reference to the 8
department's State office. 9
`(6) Anything done by the regional planning Minister under 10
subsection (3) is taken to have been done by the local 11
government and has the same effect as it would have had if 12
the local government had done it. 13
`(7) An expense reasonably incurred by the regional planning 14
Minister in taking an action under subsection (3) may be 15
recovered from the local government as a debt owing to the 16
State. 17
`(8) The regional planning Minister may, in writing, extend the 18
period mentioned in subsection (3)(b). 19
`(9) Nothing in this section affects or is affected by part 3. 20
`2.5A.21 Effect of regional plan on other plans, policies or 21
codes 22

regulatory provision. 24

of the plan, policy or code, take account of the region's 32
regional plan; and 33
(b) state in the plan, policy or code how the plan, policy or 34
code, or the amendment of the plan, policy or code, will 35
s 154 97 s 154
Urban Land Development Authority Bill 2007
reflect the region's regional plan for the matters under 1
section 2.5A.11. 2
`(3) For this Act, to the extent there is an inconsistency between a 3
regional plan and any other plan, policy or code under an Act 4
of a planning nature, including any other planning instrument, 5
the regional plan prevails. 6

dimension to the matters the subject of the code; 20
and 21

(i) state whether the development is-- 23
(A) exempt development; or 24
(B) self-assessable development; or 25

Note-- 3
If the development is not completed within the stated time, see section 4
2.5B.20 (When master plan ceases to have effect). 5
`(2) For subsection (1)(b)(i), the master plan may, for development 6
in the master planning unit, state levels of assessment that 7
vary the effect of a level of assessment stated in the structure 8
plan for the master planning unit, in 1 or more of the 9
following ways-- 10
(a) if the structure plan provides that a master plan may 11
state that assessable development requiring impact 12
assessment is self-assessable development or assessable 13
development requiring code assessment--vary the level 14
of assessment; 15
(b) for development stated in the structure plan as code 16
assessable development--vary its level of assessment to 17
self-assessable development; 18
(c) increase any level of assessment stated in the structure 19
plan. 20
`(3) For subsection (1)(b)(ii), the master plan may, for 21
development in the master planning unit, identify a code for 22
development that varies the effect of a code in the local 23
government's planning scheme included in the structure plan 24
for the master planning unit. 25
`(4) However, the code for development-- 26
(a) can not vary the effect of the structure plan area code 27
identified in the structure plan; and 28
(b) must be substantially consistent with the code that it 29
varies the effect of. 30

`(3) To the extent the master plan is inconsistent with what is 7
required or permitted under subsections (1) and (2) the master 8
plan is of no effect. 9

`To the extent the master plan is, by doing either or both of the 11
things provided for under section 2.5B.15(1)(b)(i) or (ii), 12
different to a local planning instrument, the master plan 13
prevails. 14
`2.5B.18 Master plan attaches to land in master planning unit 15

unit, and binds the owner, the owner's successors in title and 17

`(2) To remove any doubt, it is declared that subsection (1) applies 21
even if later development, including reconfiguring a lot, is 22
carried out or approved for the land, or the land is 23
reconfigured. 24
`2.5B.19 New planning instruments can not affect approved 25
master plan 26
`If, after a master plan is approved, a new planning 27
instrument, or an amendment of a planning instrument, 28
commences, neither the planning instrument nor the 29
amendment can change or otherwise affect the master plan. 30
