4.2A Minimum subdivision lot size for strata plan schemes in certain rural, residential and conservation zones
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
to ensure the subdivision of land is carried out in a way that—
protects the physical characteristics of the land, and
does not create potential physical hazards or adversely affect the amenity of the area for neighbours, and
enables infrastructure and services to be provided to development on the land, and
will not, through its potential cumulative effects, overburden existing infrastructure, and
is compatible with the desired future character of the surrounding areas,
to ensure land to which this clause applies is not fragmented by subdivisions that create additional dwelling entitlements.
This clause applies to land in the following zones that is used, or is proposed to be used, for residential accommodation or tourist and visitor accommodation—
Zone RU1 Primary Production,
Zone RU2 Rural Landscape,
Zone RU5 Village,
Zone RU6 Transition,
Zone R5 Large Lot Residential,
Zone C3 Environmental Management,
Zone C4 Environmental Living.
Development consent must not be granted to the subdivision of land by the registration of a strata plan or strata plan of subdivision under the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015 if the subdivision would result in lots that are smaller than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map.
This clause does not apply to a lot comprising common property within the meaning of the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015.

State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, Part 6 provides that strata subdivision of a building in certain circumstances is specified complying development.
