A condition is recommended that the applicant must register the proposed drainage easement over the downstream property with the NSW Department of Lands prior to the issue of a construction certificate.

ITEM 13 |
PL61/16 - Development Application - Subdivision of Four Allotments into Four Lots - Calabash Point, Berowra Creek |
Additional information with CHANGE to Recommendation
Council has received a submission from a solicitor and resident of on behalf of Calabash Point. The submission provides a legal opinion that the amended plans are fundamentally different to the application as originally submitted and accordingly, a new development application should be lodged.
The amended application was made in accordance with the provisions of Clause 55 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 and notified in accordance with Council’s requirements. The Regulation enables Council to accept amended plans subject to procedural requirements being met. The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the associated Regulations are not limiting in regards to the amendments that can be made and do not restrict the ability to add additional allotments. Furthermore, the amended plans do not alter the characterisation of the proposal as “subdivision” of land.
Notwithstanding, legal advice should be sought by the applicant and peer reviewed by Council’s solicitor in respect to Clause 55 of the Regulations to confirm that the amended proposal can be determined by Council.
THAT Council defer consideration of Development Application No. DA/1009/2013 for subdivision of four allotments into four lots and construction of two jetties and pontoons at Lot 1 and Lot 2 DP 882783, Lot 78 DP 752048 and Lot 163 DP 1113745, Calabash Point, Berowra Creek to enable the applicant to submit legal advice concerning the application of Clause 55 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 Act 1979 to the amended proposal. |
