Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993

Determination guidelines are to provide guidance to the Minister as to the matters to which the Minister is to have regard in determining under section 60O whether to declare projects to be major projects.

The determination guidelines are to be of general application to projects that may be declared to be major projects, rather than to be of application only to specific projects that may be declared to be major projects.

The determination guidelines are to provide guidance to the Minister in relation to all attributes referred to in section 60M.

Unless the contrary intention appears, the determination guidelines are not intended to limit the matters to which the Minister is to have regard in determining whether to declare projects to be major projects.

The determination guidelines must require the Minister to have regard to the extent to which a planning scheme demonstrates, in a specific area plan, particular purpose zone or site-specific qualifications, a detailed and specific intention, for the area of land, with which a project to which a proposal for a declaration relates is incompatible, so that it may not be suitable for such a project to be declared to be a major project in relation to the area of land.
