4.1F Exceptions to minimum lot sizes for biodiversity conservation
The objective of this clause is to provide flexibility in the application of standards for the subdivision of land to be used for the purposes of long-term biodiversity conservation management.
Development consent may be granted for the subdivision of land that creates a lot that has an area less than the minimum lot size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to the land if the consent authority is satisfied—
the subdivision will facilitate the long-term biodiversity conservation management of the lot, and
suitable arrangements have been, or will be, made for the long-term protection, conservation and management of the lot, and
the subdivision will not require the clearing of native vegetation other than native vegetation required to be removed for the long-term protection, conservation and management of the lot.
Development consent must not be granted for the erection of a dwelling on a lot—
created by a subdivision under subclause (2), and
that has an area less than the minimum lot size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to the land.
