Continued uses and non‑conforming uses
31 Continued uses and non‑conforming uses
This Scheme does not prevent the continued use of any land, or any structure or building on land, for the purpose for which it was being lawfully used immediately before commencement day.
Subclause (1) does not apply if —
the use of land is a non‑conforming use; and
the non‑conforming use of the land is discontinued; and
a period of 6 months, or a longer period approved by the Commission, has elapsed since the discontinuation of the non‑conforming use.
Also, subclause (1) does not apply in respect of a non‑conforming use of land if, under Part 11 of the Act, the Commission —
purchases the land; or
pays compensation to the owner of the land in relation to the non‑conforming use.
