However, subsection (1) applies only to development that—

does not cause the contravention of any existing condition of the development consent currently operating (other than a complying development certificate) that applies to the TAFE establishment relating to hours of operation, noise, car parking, vehicular movement, traffic generation, loading, waste management, landscaping or student or staff numbers, and

complies with—

any development standard that sets a maximum floor space ratio, and

any development standard that sets a maximum gross floor area,

if the development involves an alteration or addition to a building—

does not extend the gross floor area of the existing building by more than 50%, and

does not result in the building having a gross floor area of more than 2,000 square metres, and

if the development is on a site with an area of—

2,000 square metres or less—does not result in the floor space ratio for all buildings on the site exceeding 1:1, or

more than 2,000 square metres—does not extend the existing gross floor area for all buildings on the site by more than 2,000 square metres.

Nothing in this section authorises the carrying out of development in contravention of any existing condition of the development consent currently operating (other than a complying development certificate) that applies to any part of the TAFE establishment, relating to hours of operation, noise, car parking, vehicular movement, traffic generation, loading, waste management, landscaping or student or staff numbers.
