The land use table
These are the planning scheme’s official terms. A close match tells you the rule for that term; whether your project counts as that term is a judgement call.
Permitted with consent 1
Development Application (DA)
- Aquaculture
Anything not named below is treated as “Prohibited”. That is not the same as being on the list.
Objectives of this zone
- To provide for special land uses that are not provided for in other zones.
- To provide for sites with special natural characteristics that are not provided for in other zones.
- To facilitate development that is in keeping with the special characteristics of the site or its existing or intended special use, and that minimises any adverse impacts on surrounding land.
Some state-level housing and precinct policies sit above council rules and can override them. Those aren’t included here.
A council’s LEP can also grant extra permitted uses of its own on top of the standard list. Those aren’t included here either.

Frequently asked questions
Does this SP1 Special Activities table apply to my property in Canterbury-Bankstown?
Only if this zone and this planning scheme apply to the land. Search your address — that is what names both.
Can I assume my project is one of the terms listed for SP1 Special Activities?
No. The list uses the planning scheme’s official names. Whether your project counts as one of those names is a judgement call — that’s what a planner is for.
If a use is not listed in SP1 Special Activities, is it prohibited in Canterbury-Bankstown?
Not by itself. Unlisted uses follow this zone’s fallback (“Prohibited”). That is different from being named on the list.
