Restricted development

The restricted development process under Section 110 of the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (PDI Act) provides an assessment pathway where the State Planning Commission (the Commission) is the decision maker.

Overview

Restricted development is a category of development designated by the Planning and Design Code (the Code) that is assessed by the Commission as the relevant authority.

A restricted classification generally applies to development that warrants consideration of strategic implications and impacts or requires detailed investigations and assessment beyond that provided through the Code Assessed - Performance Assessed pathway.

Each zone in the Code contains a table – Table 4 – which specifies types of development categorised as restricted development, subject to any exclusions.

The Commission may also consider other guidelines, legislation, or documents as set out in Practice Direction 4.
