(1) Section 132 of the
Planning and Development Act 2005 applies with all necessary modifications
for the purpose of carrying out a master plan as if the reference in that
section —
(a) to a
planning scheme were a reference to that master plan; and
(b) to
the responsible authority were a reference to the Commission; and
(c) to
an Act were a reference to a written law.
(2) Despite anything
in the Local Government Act 1995 to the contrary —
(a) the
method of valuation of land to be used by a local government as the basis for
a rate on rateable land within the redevelopment area is to be —
(i)
the same method used in relation to that land immediately
before the commencement of this Act, unless paragraph (b) applies; and
(ii)
if a development has commenced in respect of the land,
the method of valuation to be used in accordance with the use approved in
respect of the development;
and
(b)
under section 6.32(1) of that Act, a local government may not impose on
rateable land in the redevelopment area —
(i)
a rate differentially; or
(ii)
a specified area rate; or
(iii)
a minimum payment; or
(iv)
a service charge,
merely on the basis
that the land is in the redevelopment area.
(3) Subsection (2)
does not affect the operation of section 32 of the
Western Australian Land Authority Act 1992 .
(4) In subsection (2)
—
development means —
(a) a
development approved under Part 4; or
(b) a
development in respect of which all necessary approvals under the planning
schemes referred to in section 23(3) were in force immediately before the
commencement of this Act;
rateable land has the same meaning as it has for
the purposes of the Local Government Act 1995 .
