Prohibited development

Prohibited development is not allowed to be carried out.

Definition

A prohibited development is a development:

  • prohibited under the relevant development table of the Territory Plan
  • by an entity other than the Territory or a Territory authority in a future urban area, unless the structure plan for the area states otherwise.

Rules

The following information outlines the rules that apply to prohibited development.

  • If a development is prohibited then a person cannot apply for approval of the development proposal.
  • If a development is authorised by a development approval then subsequently becomes prohibited then the development can continue - a development that is lawful when it begins, continues to be lawful.
  • If a development use is allowed under a lease, section 247 or a provision of Chapter 15 of the Planning and Development Act 2007, but beginning the use is a prohibited development then the proposal is not considered to be a prohibited development, a person may apply for development approval for the proposal and the impact track will apply.
