The 'estimated cost' threshold for mandatory DAP determination under reg 5(c) of the Planning and Development (Development Assessment Panels) Regulations 2011 (WA) is confined to the cost of development for which approval is sought in the particular development application, and does not extend to works in separate applications even where those works are a necessary precursor to the proposed development. A developer may lawfully submit separate development applications for discrete aspects of a development without those applications being aggregated for the purpose of the $10 million DAP threshold. Where defined terms in a planning scheme exclude certain uses from a broader use category, those excluded uses are not mentioned in the Zoning Table and may be permitted under a residual discretion provision such as cl 4.4.2 of LPS 21.
