(1) The objectives of this section are as follows--(a) to ensure buildings are compatible with the height, bulk and scale of the desired future character of the area, and positively contribute to the streetscape and public spaces,(b) to ensure protected view corridors to and from the White Bay Power Station are kept,(c) to ensure the height of buildings includes lift overruns, plant and architectural roof features and other roof elements,(d) to protect the amenity of residential accommodation, neighbouring properties and public spaces in relation to--(i) visual and acoustic privacy, and(ii) solar access and view sharing.
(2) The height of a building must not exceed the maximum height shown for the land on the Height of Buildings Map .
(1) The objectives of this section are as follows--(a) to provide sufficient floor space to meet anticipated development needs for the foreseeable future,(b) to regulate the density of development, built form and land use intensity,(c) to control the generation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic,(d) to provide for an intensity of development proportionate to the capacity of existing and planned infrastructure,(e) to ensure new development--(i) reflects the desired character of the area in which it is located, and(ii) minimises adverse impacts on the amenity of the area.
(2) The maximum floor space ratio for a building must not exceed the floor space ratio shown for the land on the Floor Space Ratio Map .
(1) Objectives The objectives of this section are as follows--(a) to define
"floor space ratio" ,(b) to set out rules for the calculation of the site area of development for the purpose of applying permitted floor space ratios, including rules to--(i) prevent the inclusion in the site area of an area that has no significant development being carried out on it, and(ii) prevent the inclusion in the site area of an area that has already been included as part of a site area to maximise floor space area in another building, and(iii) require community land and public places to be dealt with separately.
(2) Definition of "floor space ratio" The
"floor space ratio" of buildings on a site is the ratio of the gross floor area of all buildings within the site to the site area.
(3) Site area In determining the site area of proposed development for the purpose of applying a floor space ratio, the
"site area" is taken to be--(a) if the proposed development is to be carried out on only one lot--the area of that lot, or(b) if the proposed development is to be carried out on 2 or more lots--the area of any lot on which the development is proposed to be carried out that has at least one common boundary with another lot on which the development is being carried out.In addition, subsections (4)-(7) apply to the calculation of site area for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio to proposed development.
(4) Exclusions from site area The following land must be excluded from the site area--(a) land on which the proposed development is prohibited, whether under this Policy or any other law,(b) community land or a public place, except as provided by subsection (7).
(5) Strata subdivisions The area of a lot that is wholly or partly on top of another or others in a strata subdivision is to be included in the calculation of the site area only to the extent that it does not overlap with another lot already included in the site area calculation.
(6) Only significant development to be included The site area for proposed development must not include a lot additional to a lot or lots on which the development is being carried out unless the proposed development includes significant development on that additional lot.
(7) Certain public land to be separately considered For the purpose of applying a floor space ratio to any proposed development on, above or below community land or a public place, the site area must only include an area that is on, above or below that community land or public place, and is occupied or physically affected by the proposed development, and may not include any other area on which the proposed development is to be carried out.
(8) Existing buildings The gross floor area of any existing or proposed buildings within the vertical projection (above or below ground) of the boundaries of a site is to be included in the calculation of the total floor space for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio, whether or not the proposed development relates to all of the buildings.
(9) Covenants to prevent "double dipping" When development consent is granted to development on a site comprised of 2 or more lots, a condition of the consent may require a covenant to be registered that prevents the creation of floor area on a lot (the
"restricted lot" ) if the consent authority is satisfied that an equivalent quantity of floor area will be created on another lot only because the site included the restricted lot.
(10) Covenants affect consolidated sites If--(a) a covenant of the kind referred to in subsection (9) applies to any land (
"affected land" ), and(b) proposed development relates to the affected land and other land that together comprise the site of the proposed development,the maximum amount of floor area allowed on the other land by the floor space ratio fixed for the site by this Appendix is reduced by the quantity of floor space area the covenant prevents being created on the affected land.
(11) Definition In this section--
"public place" has the same meaning as in the Local Government Act 1993 .
In calculating a floor space ratio under section 9, the site area of development on land in the Stage 1 Bays West Precinct includes land--

(b) otherwise set aside as--(i) publicly accessible open space, or(ii) a pedestrian link.
(1) The objectives of this section are as follows--(a) to provide an appropriate degree of flexibility in applying certain development standards to particular development,(b) to achieve better outcomes for and from development by allowing flexibility in particular circumstances.
(2) Development consent may, subject to this section, be granted for development even though the development would contravene a development standard imposed by this or any other environmental planning instrument. However, this section does not apply to a development standard that is expressly excluded from the operation of this section.
(3) Development consent must not be granted to development that contravenes a development standard unless the consent authority is satisfied the applicant for development consent has demonstrated that--(a) compliance with the development standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances, and(b) there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify the contravention of the development standard.Note--: The Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021 requires the development application to be accompanied by a document setting out the grounds on which the applicant seeks to demonstrate the matters in paragraphs (a) and (b).
(4) The consent authority must keep a record of its assessment carried out under subsection (3).
(7) This section does not allow development consent to be granted for development that would contravene any of the following--(a) a development standard for complying development,(b) a development standard that arises, under the regulations under the Act, in connection with a commitment set out in a BASIX certificate for a building to which State Environmental Planning Policy (Building Sustainability Index: BASIX) 2004 applies or for the land on which such a building is situated.
