State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971

The Coordinator-General may, by gazette notice (a declaration), declare development to which this division applies (the proposed development) to be SDA-related development for a State development area.

A declaration may be made only if the Coordinator-General is satisfied—

another Act or law that regulates the development may have an adverse effect on the delivery of the proposed development if the declaration were not made; and

1 of the following applies—

the proposed development provides infrastructure for the State development area to address the impacts of any development within the area, whether or not the infrastructure also has another function or purpose;

the proposed development—

is necessary or desirable to give effect to the purpose of, or objectives for, the State development area stated in the approved development scheme for the area; and

can not reasonably be located or accommodated entirely within the State development area.

A declaration must not compromise the implementation of the approved development scheme for the State development area.

In making a declaration, the Coordinator-General must decide—

whether the SDA-related development is—

SDA assessable development; or

SDA self-assessable development; and

if the development is SDA assessable development—matters about how the approved development scheme for the State development area applies to the development, including, for example, any modifications of the scheme that are necessary to apply the scheme to the development; and

if the development is SDA self-assessable development—the requirements for carrying out the development.
