How will the PSA impact existing landowners?

The Planning Scheme Amendment (PSA) intends to rezone the BREP as Industrial Zone 1. However, the Development Planning Overlay (DPO) schedule ensures that existing uses (such as residential) within the BREP can remain and continue operating providing any future works do not prejudice the future development aspirations of the BREP.

The DPO schedule has identified several lots as having the potential risk for contamination.

To ensure that these lots can be deemed suitable for sensitive purposes, permit conditions within the DPO schedule will require applicants on these sites to provide the environment assessment and/or audit process.

These conditions do not apply to buildings and works associated with the existing residential use established before the approval of the amendment.
