Central Coast Local Environmental Plan 2022

The objective of this clause is to minimise land use conflicts and adverse amenity impacts by providing a reasonable level of separation between sex services premises, specified land uses and places regularly frequented by children.

In deciding whether to grant development consent to development for the purposes of sex services premises, the consent authority must consider the following—

whether the premises will be located on land that adjoins, is directly opposite or is separated only by a local road from land—

in Zone R1 General Residential, Zone R2 Low Density Residential or Zone RE1 Public Recreation, or

used for the purposes of centre-based child care facilities, community facilities, schools or places of public worship,

the impact of the proposed sex services premises and its hours of operation on places likely to be regularly frequented by children—

that adjoin the premises, or

that can be viewed from the premises, or

from which a person can view the premises.

If the sex services premises are proposed to be located in a building that contains one or more dwellings, development consent must not be granted to development for the purposes of sex services premises unless the sex services premises can only be accessed by a separate street entrance that does not provide access to the rest of the building.
