4.1.3 What Chapters apply for my development?

Chapter 2 (below) provides general controls for residential development. Additional controls for specific development are also located in Chapters 3-6. In the event of any inconsistency between Chapter 2, controls in Chapters 3-6 prevail.

Controls for shop top housing (permitted within the R1, E1 and MU1 zones) are contained within Chapter 8. Chapter 8 also provides controls for residential flat building development. Additional controls for residential flat buildings and shop top housing may be contained in State Environmental Planning Policy No 65—Design Quality of Residential Apartment Development (SEPP 65) or equivalent.

Chapter 9 provides controls for outbuildings (i.e. sheds, carports, decks etc.)
