Is a planning permit required for the construction of multiple buildings that are to be used for bushfire recovery purposes?
No. The Bushfire Recovery Clause does not specify how many temporary buildings can exist on a lot. This means that more than one building can be constructed on a lot provided that: – the buildings are only used to provide temporary accommodation or for uses directly associated with bushfire recovery – the construction of the buildings is completed prior to 31 March 2010 – any use authorised by clause 52.38 ceases on or before 31 March 2011. Again, the written authorisation of Council is also required in circumstances where the land is subject to any of the overlay controls listed in question 3 above.
