Bayside Local Environmental Plan 2021

The objectives of this clause are as follows—

to establish standards for the maximum development density and intensity of land use,

to ensure buildings are compatible with the bulk and scale of the existing and desired future character of the locality,

to minimise adverse environmental effects on the use or enjoyment of adjoining properties and the public domain,

to maintain an appropriate visual relationship between new development and the existing character of areas or locations that are not undergoing or likely to undergo a substantial transformation,

to ensure buildings do not adversely affect the streetscape, skyline or landscape when viewed from adjoining roads and other public places such as parks and community facilities.

The maximum floor space ratio for a building on any land is not to exceed the floor space ratio shown for the land on the Floor Space Ratio Map.

Despite subclause (2), if an area of land in Area 1 identified on the Floor Space Ratio Map has a site area exceeding 1,900 square metres, the floor space ratio of a building on that land may exceed the maximum floor space ratio shown for the land on the Floor Space Ratio Map but must not exceed 0.65:1.

Despite, subclause (2), the maximum floor space ratio for a building permitted under Schedule 1, clause 14 on land identified as Area 3 on the Floor Space Ratio Map must not exceed 1.5:1.

Despite subclause (2), the floor space ratio for a building may exceed the maximum floor space ratio allowed under that subclause by up to—

(Repealed)

1:1—if the building is in Area 6 identified on the Floor Space Ratio Map and on a lot having an area of at least 2,000 square metres,

0.5:1—if the building is in Area 7 identified on the Floor Space Ratio Map and on a lot having an area of at least 1,200 square metres,

2:1—if the building is in Area 8 identified on the Floor Space Ratio Map and on a lot having an area of at least 1,000 square metres,

0.5:1—if the building is in Area 10 identified on the Floor Space Ratio Map and on a lot having an area of at least 600 square metres,

0.7:1—if the building is in Area 11 identified on the Floor Space Ratio Map and on a lot having an area of at least 600 square metres and contains one or more pedestrian arcades,

0.5:1—if the building is in Area 13 identified on the Floor Space Ratio Map and on a lot having an area of at least 800 square metres.

Despite subclause (2), the floor space ratio of all buildings, or parts of buildings, that are residential accommodation on land identified as Area 14 on the Floor Space Ratio Map must not exceed 2.25:1.

Despite subclause (2), the floor space ratio for a building on land that is in Zone R2 Low Density Residential, Zone R3 Medium Density Residential or Zone R4 High Density Residential on land identified as Area 15 on the Floor Space Ratio Map must not exceed 0.55:1 if the land has an area of less than 460 square metres.

Despite clause 4.4(2), on land identified as Area 9 on the Floor Space Ratio Map—

the maximum floor space ratio for a building is 5:1, and

the ratio of the gross floor area of all buildings, other than commercial premises, to the site area must not exceed 3:1.

Note.

Floor space ratios are determined cumulatively by calculating the gross floor area of all buildings on the site concerned—see clause 4.5 (2).

Despite subclause (2), the maximum floor space ratio for a building on land identified as Area 12 on the Floor Space Ratio Map is 1.25:1 if the building is used only for the purpose of seniors housing.

Despite subclause (2), development consent may be granted to development for the purposes of multi dwelling housing or residential flat buildings on land identified as Area 4 on the Floor Space Ratio Map that results in a floor space ratio that does not exceed 1.65:1 if the site area is equal to or greater than 2,000 square metres.
