Schedule 1

Amendment 1.23

Proposed new section 30 (1), example

Page 24, line 2—

omit the example, substitute

Example

Under the Planning and Development Act 2006, s 240 leased land must not be used for a purpose other than a purpose authorised by the lease. A lease provides that the leased land may be used only for a single dwelling.

If an application for building work on the land contains plans for 2 dwellings in a single building, carrying out the site work will result in a contravention of the lease and therefore the Planning and Development Act 2006. Accordingly, a certifier must not issue the building approval.

If an application for building work on the land indicates that 1 room is to be used for a home office, and part of the lounge room is to contain a bar area, the building may still be used as a dwelling and a certifier could issue building approval, even though conducting a home business may require development approval.
