68 Part 5. Protection and management of the property New South Wales Government legislation The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 provides for the proper management, development and conservation of the natural and built environment in New South Wales. The legislation requires that proposals comply with relevant planning controls and are environmentally and socially sustainable according to their nature and scale. Before a proposal can be undertaken on the Sydney Opera House site it is subject to rigorous assessment by qualifi ed planners, urban designers and heritage experts. This process involves consultation with the public and interested parties and identifi es all likely impacts. Approval cannot be granted unless there has been an assessment and consideration of the impacts of the proposed action or proposal on the heritage values of the Sydney Opera House. If approved, the proposal may be subject to conditions of approval to ensure that the heritage values are conserved and protected. These conditions are monitored and enforced (see Part 5.D). Civil and criminal proceedings for a breach of any approval may be taken before a local court or the New South Wales Land and Environment Court. The Heritage Act 1977 provides protection for places of natural and cultural heritage signifi cance. It provides for the listing of heritage items or places on the State Heritage Register and the making of orders for their protection. The Sydney Opera House is listed as a heritage place (see Part 5.B). Any development application for the property must be considered for approval by the New South Wales Heritage Council. In addition, the Minimum standards of maintenance and repair, created under the legislation, require that the Sydney Opera House site is kept to a mandatory standard of care and maintenance. The property is also subject to guidelines that regulate heritage items owned by New South Wales Government agencies under the legislation. The State agency heritage guide sets standards for the day-to-day care of places owned by New South Wales Government agencies and establishes the integration of heritage matters into overall asset management. Offences Australian Government and New South Wales Government legislation have provisions to impose fi nancial penalties or imprisonment for actions that may have an adverse impact on the heritage values of the Sydney Opera House. The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 contains substantial penalties for civil and criminal offences that apply when the provisions of the Act that protect the heritage values of a World Heritage property or a National Heritage place are contravened. Penalties that may be imposed include civil penalties of up to A$550 000 for individuals or A$5.5 million for a body corporate; and criminal penalties of up to A$46 200 and/or seven years imprisonment for an individual and A$231 000 for a corporation. In addition the Minister for the Environment and Heritage, or persons or organisations who satisfy certain statutory requirements, can apply for an injunction to restrain a person who may be about to take such an action. The Heritage Act 1977 outlines penalties for convicted third parties including fi nes of over A$1 million and imprisonment for up to six months. The Sydney Opera House Trust Act 1961 provides penalties including imprisonment ranging from two to seven years for convicted third parties. 5.D EXISTING PLANS RELATED TO MUNICIPALITY AND REGION IN WHICH THE PROPOSED PROPERTY IS LOCATED A number of environmental planning instruments provide further protection and management of the heritage values of a listed property. The management of these instruments is the responsibility of the New South Wales Department of Planning in consultation with other relevant state agencies including the New South Wales Heritage Offi ce. Contact information is detailed in Parts 8.A and 8.C. Statutory plans State Environmental Planning Policy (Major Projects) 2005 (NSW) The policy identifi es the Sydney Opera House as a ‘state signifi cant site’. All activities on the site are given a high level of consideration and assessment under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. Activities cannot proceed without the consent of the Minister for Planning.
5.2 Sydney Regional Environmental Plan (Sydney Harbour Catchment) 2005 (NSW) (Harbour REP) The Harbour REP contains principles and provisions for planning for the Sydney Harbour Catchment including the Sydney Opera House site (called the Foreshores and Waterways Area). Under the provisions for this area, the Minister for Planning is required to consider a range of matters such as ecology and environmental protection, protection and enhancement of views, public access and preserving the scenic quality of the foreshores and waterways. The Harbour REP also includes the waterway abutting the Sydney Opera House. Figure 5.2 The Sydney Opera House, aerial view illustrating the relationship with the harbour, 2005 Proposed buffer zone: management of the setting of the Sydney Opera House In the event that the Sydney Opera House is inscribed on the World Heritage List, a buffer zone will come into force by an amendment to the Harbour REP. The buffer zone will be subject to additional planning rules and provisions aimed at further protecting the World Heritage values of the property. The Minister for Planning will be required to ensure that any development within the buffer zone satisfi es certain criteria for consideration before granting consent under the Harbour REP. 69
