Digital Train Radio System Como Site Review of Environmental ...

This SEPP protects and preserves bushland within certain urban areas, as part of the natural
heritage or for recreational, educational and scientific purposes. Sutherland LGA is listed in
Schedule 1 as an area where bushland needs to be preserved. However, the proposed work
will not require the removal of vegetation, and so no further consideration of this SEPP is
required.
State Environmental Planning Policy No. 26 Littoral Rainforests
This policy applies to local government areas outside the Sydney metropolitan area that front
the Pacific Ocean (the same area which SEPP 14 applies to), and is therefore not applicable.
State Environmental Planning Policy No. 44 – Koala Habitat Protection
The proposed site is not located in an area nominated or classified by this SEPP as habitat for
koalas; therefore is not subject to the provisions of SEPP 44.
State Environmental Planning Policy No. 55 – Remediation of Land
SEPP 55 provides for a consistent state-wide planning approach to the remediation of
contaminated land. The policy states that land must not be developed if it is unsuitable for a
proposed use because it is contaminated. If the land is unsuitable, remediation must take place
before the land is developed. The presence of contamination will be determined during
excavation works, and a suitable remediation plan will be developed, if required.
State Environmental Planning Policy No. 71 – Coastal Protection
The proposed site falls outside the coastal protection zone designated in the Coastal Protection
SEPP, and therefore does not apply.
State Environmental Planning Policy (Major Development) 2005
This SEPP identifies certain developments which are deemed major projects under Part 3A of
the EP&A Act and which are then determined by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure.
The proposal does not meet the criteria listed in Schedule 1 Section 23 (Rail and related
transport facilities), nor does it meet any of the other requirements listed in Schedules 2, 3 or 5.
This SEPP does not apply to the proposal.
State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Drinking Water Catchment) 2011
The proposed site is located in the Georges River catchment and is not part of a drinking water
catchment. This SEPP does not apply to the proposal.
Sutherland Shire Local Environmental Plan 2006
The proposed site is located in the Sutherland LGA and is subject to the Sutherland Local
Environmental Plan 2006 (Sutherland LEP). The proposed works would be undertaken in the
rail corridor, which is in Zone 21 – Railway.
Development for the purposes of railways is permissible in Zone 21 - Railway without consent,
under Clause 11 of the Sutherland LEP.
