Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979

The regulations may make provision for or with respect to existing use and, in particular, for or with respect to—

the carrying out of alterations or extensions to or the rebuilding of a building or work being used for an existing use, and

the change of an existing use to another use, and

the enlargement or expansion or intensification of an existing use.

(Repealed)

The provisions (in this section referred to as the incorporated provisions) of any regulations in force for the purposes of subsection (1) are taken to be incorporated in every environmental planning instrument.

An environmental planning instrument may, in accordance with this Act, contain provisions extending, expanding or supplementing the incorporated provisions, but any provisions (other than incorporated provisions) in such an instrument that, but for this subsection, would derogate or have the effect of derogating from the incorporated provisions have no force or effect while the incorporated provisions remain in force.

Any right or authority granted by the incorporated provisions or any provisions of an environmental planning instrument extending, expanding or supplementing the incorporated provisions do not apply to or in respect of an existing use which commenced pursuant to a consent of the Minister under section 4.33 to a development application for consent to carry out prohibited development.
