State Environmental Planning Policy (Transport and Infrastructure) 2021

The construction, installation and use of a hardstand area for the purpose of open-air storage facilities.

The hardstand area must—

have a gross floor area of no more than 5,000m², and

only be used to store products that are bulk solids, and

entirely contain the products during their storage, and

be designed and constructed to withstand the loads for which it will be used, and

be paved with concrete or bituminous surfaces.

The hardstand area must not—

be used to store dangerous goods, or

adversely impact on adjoining land or the amenity of the neighbourhood, including as a result of dust, odour or noise created by the development, or

be located in, or in a way that impedes access to, parking or loading bays or spaces, vehicle turnaround areas or docks, or

redirect the flow of surface water, or cause sediment to be transported, onto an adjoining property or into a waterway, or

adversely affect access into, across or out of the Lease Area for the purpose of an evacuation or attendance by emergency services.

The development must not be inconsistent with, or contravene, a provision or condition of a development consent applying to the land.

The land on which the development is carried out must be suitable for the use of the hardstand area for the purpose of open-air storage facilities.
