Places of Public Entertainment

From 26 October 2007, the regulation of the use of buildings or temporary structures as a place of public entertainment (POPE) was transferred to the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act) from the Local Government Act 1993 (LG Act).  Previously the use of POPE required both a development consent under the EP&A Act and an approval under the LG Act. See the fact sheet for further information.
