s. 4
on the recommendation of the Minister administering the Health Services Act 1988 prepare; and
adopt and approve—
amendments to any planning scheme applying to the land covered by the redevelopment project to facilitate that project.
Without limiting what an amendment may include, an amendment prepared under this section may impose any conditions on the development and use of the land covered by the redevelopment project that the Minister administering the Planning and Environment Act 1987 may determine, and may provide that no permit is required for all or any part of that development or use of land.
The Planning and Environment Act 1987 (except for section 12(1), (d) and (e), (2) and (3) and Divisions 1 and 2 of Part 3, and section 39(1) to (6) and any regulations made for the purposes of those provisions) applies to the preparation, adoption and approval of an amendment under this section.

Section 39(7) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 applies to an amendment prepared, adopted or approved under this section as if before "Division 1" there were inserted "section 12(1) or".
Section 39(8) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 applies to an amendment prepared or adopted under this section as if—
the words "Except for an application under this section" were deleted; and
