Development Application Plans, 1969-1999 [City of Sydney / South Sydney Municipal Council]

Description

Unique IDAS-0132Start dateBetween 23rd December 1969 and 21st April 1999Start date qualifiercircaFormatPlanShort descriptionThis series contains plans for development applications lodged with Council for approval.DescriptionThis series contains plans for development applications lodged with Council for approval. In most cases, development application plans are small enough to be placed on the relevant files in Development Application Files, 1954-1978 (AS-0062); Central Activity Files, 1979-1987 (AS-0116), or General Correspondence Files, 1988-1997 (AS-0326). This series contains the plans that had to be separated because they were too large to place on file. Not all development applications have plans.

The plans were created by the following agencies:
- City Architect and Building Surveyors Department II (AG-0016) in the period 23/12/1969 to 25/10/1971
- Planning and Building Department (AG-0008) in the period 25/10/1971 to 31/12/1992
- City Development (AG-0135) in the period 01/01/1993 to 21/04/1999
- South Sydney Municipal Council Town Planning and Development Department (AG-0021) in the period 23/12/1969 to 05/06/1974
- South Sydney Municipal Council Forward Town Planning Department II (AG-0023) in the period 20/12/1978 to 11/03/1981

The development application plans and files have the same annual single number.

Development applications were submitted to Council in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government (Town and County Planning) Amendment Act 1945. This Act required that any person or organisation wanting to develop a site or property, had to submit an application to Council for approval.

The definition of 'development' given in the Act is open to interpretation. It defines development as 'the erection of any building, the subdivision of the land and the carrying out of any work thereon for a purpose which is different from the purpose for which the land or building or work was last being used'.

It has generally been interpreted in practice that a development application is required whenever the owners are proposing to change the use of the land, building, or work from what it previously was, subdivide the land, or erect a building. An application would not be required if the usage remained the same but minor alterations, such as changes in office partitions, were carried out.

There are a small number of development applications plans submitted to South Sydney Municipal Council included in this series.Relationship summaryCONTROLLED BY: Development Application Registers AS-0311 (23/12/1969 to 30/6/1994)
