5.30 Designation of "infrastructure corridors"

(1) A State environmental planning policy may designate land to be an infrastructure corridor for the purposes of this Division if it has been set aside for future use as a road, railway, public transit way, electricity transmission line, pipeline or other linear infrastructure.

(2) Land may not be so designated unless--

(b) the land is identified for that future use under a strategic plan under Division 3.1, or

(c) the land is identified in an environmental planning instrument as requiring the concurrence of a public authority before consent is granted to development on the land if the public authority is required to take into account the likely impact of the development on that future use.
