2. ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING2.1 Amendments to the Growth Centres Biodiversity CertificationReporting OfficerManager Environmental PlanningAttachmentsSouth West Growth Centre – Biodiversity Certification Map (distributed underseparate cover)PurposeThe purpose of this report is to inform Council about amendments to the ThreatenedSpecies Conservation Act 1995 relating to the conferral of biodiversity certification onState Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth Centres) 2006,otherwise known as the Growth Centres SEPP.HistoryBiodiversity certification of State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney RegionGrowth Centres) 2006 was granted in December 2007, under section 126G of theThreatened Species Conservation Act (TSC) 1995. In July 2010 the TSC Act 1995was amended in response to the Threatened Species Conservation Amendment(Biodiversity Certification) Act 2010 resulting in new biodiversity certificationarrangements for the Growth Centres. These new arrangements and associatedimplications for Council are discussed in this report.Whilst all the land within the Growth Centres boundaries is affected by thesebiodiversity certification provisions, the areas which fall within the CampbelltownLocal Government Area include the Edmondson Park and East Leppington Precincts.These areas are show on the attached South West Growth Centre – BiodiversityCertification map.ReportThe Threatened Species Conservation Amendment (Biodiversity Certification) Act2010 (the Biodiversity Certification Act) was assented to on 15 June 2010 andcommenced on 2 July 2010. The Biodiversity Certification Act replaced Division 5 ofthe TSC Act, which related to biodiversity certification, with a new part (Part 7AA).Consequently the arrangements for the Growth Centres biodiversity certification arenow dealt with exclusively in Part 7 of Schedule 7 of the TSC Act (BiodiversityCertification of the Growth Centres SEPP).
The Biodiversity Certification Act also made an amendment to the application of theGrowth Centres biodiversity certification. Specifically, Clause 18(2) of Part 7 ofSchedule 7 to the TSC Act was amended as follows (underlined text indicates theamendments made to the clause):(2) The biodiversity certification conferred by this Part applies:(a)(b)(c)Only to the subject land (being biodiversity certified lands within theGrowth Centres), andTo all development and activities that may be carried out under theGrowth Centres SEPP (including development and activities that maybe carried out under another Environmental Planning Instrument (EPI)that applies to the subject land), andto all threatened species, populations and ecological communities.The effect of the amendment is that biodiversity certification now applies to alldevelopment and activities that may be carried out under any EnvironmentalPlanning Instruments that apply to the subject land (biodiversity certified land withinthe Growth Centres), which may include the Growth Centres SEPP, and any localenvironmental plans or other State Environmental Planning Policies) irrespective ofwhether that land has been rezoned under the Growth Centres SEPP or not.The subsequent implications for Council are that any Part 4 developmentapplications lodged with Council which proposes development on biodiversitycertified land (as mapped in Part 7 of Schedule 7 of the TSC Act) do not require athreatened species assessment regardless of what planning instrument the worksare being carried out in accordance with. Also, as the consent authority, Council isrequired to determine whether a site to which a development application relates issituated within certified or non-certified lands.The TSC Act continues to apply to all development carried out on non-certified landand a threatened species assessment may be required where the developmentinvolves the clearing of vegetation. Under such circumstances, the development willalso need to address any relevant requirements of the Growth centres SEPP,including vegetation clearing controls.Officer's RecommendationThat the information be noted.Committee’s Recommendation: (Bourke/Greiss)That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted.CARRIED
