Planning and Development Act 2005

In this section —

for cadastral data produced by the Authority — a minor modification to that data made by the Authority to reflect updated survey information; or

for other spatial data produced by the Commission — the replacement of that data with cadastral data produced by the Authority to reflect updated survey information, where the effect of that replacement is minor;

a planning scheme; or

an interim development order; or

a declaration under section 112 in relation to a planning control area;

A map (the original map) that forms part of a planning instrument may be prepared by the Commission as an electronic map (the electronic planning map) in a format approved by the Commission.

The electronic planning map must —

replicate the planning markings on the original map in a form defined by reference to spatial data; and

include —

any key or other information on the original map that is associated with the planning markings and is necessary to interpret the map; and

any other information required by the Commission.

The electronic planning map is not required to replicate the original map except to the extent required by subsection (3).

For the purposes of subsection (3)(a), the planning markings on the electronic planning map are taken to replicate the planning marks on the original map even if —

1 or more minor modifications to the spatial data by reference to which the planning markings are defined have occurred since the electronic planning map was first prepared; and

the planning markings on the electronic planning map are defined by reference to the spatial data as modified by those modifications.

The Commission must make the electronic planning map available for public inspection on its website.

An electronic planning map that is prepared and made available in accordance with this section is taken to be the original map for the purposes of the planning instrument, this Act and any other written law.
