We often become involved in matters that are controversial and that may involve a ‘moral’ overtone. Sex premises are an example and are a legitimate landuse in NSW that may be conducted lawfully in certain circumstances, with the appropriate development consent from a consent authority. Relevant planning considerations in terms of assessment need to be the main guide in deciding whether a proposal is acceptable

Sex services premises are often subject to moral objectors in addition to economic, environmental and social impact submissions that arise in this type of development proposal. North Sydney and The City of Sydney and are two progressive Councils in NSW that have developed planning as well as health and safety controls to deal with the plethora of issues raised within this industry.
