Part 2 Manufactured home estates and manufactured homes
Division 1 Application of Part
This Part applies to the operation of manufactured home estates, and to the installation of manufactured homes in manufactured home estates, but does not apply to the installation of manufactured homes elsewhere than in manufactured home estates.Note. The installation of manufactured homes elsewhere than in manufactured home estates is governed by Part 3. That Part deals with relocatable homes, which includes a manufactured home.
Division 2 Approvals and exemptions
Subdivision 1 Operation of manufactured home estates
Note. Section 68 of the Act prohibits a person from operating a manufactured home estate without the prior approval of the council. Part 1 of Chapter 7 of the Act deals generally with the granting, amendment, extension, renewal, revocation and modification of approvals. Approvals may be granted subject to conditions, including conditions prescribed by the regulations. Breach of any such condition constitutes an offence under section 627 of the Act.
6 Factors for consideration before approval is granted
(1) The council must not grant an approval to operate a manufactured home estate unless it is satisfied that the manufactured home estate will be designed, constructed, maintained and operated in accordance with the relevant requirements of Division 3.(2) In deciding whether or not the approval for the manufactured home estate should allow the installation of a manufactured home on flood liable land, the council must have regard to the principles contained in the Floodplain Development Manual.
7 Matters to be specified in approval
In addition to any other matters it must contain, an approval to operate a manufactured home estate must specify, by reference to a plan, the number, size and location of the dwelling sites allowed by the approval.
An approval to operate a manufactured home estate is subject to the condition that the manufactured home estate is designed, constructed, maintained and operated in accordance with the requirements of Division 3.Note. The council may also impose conditions on the grant of an approval under section 94 of the Act.
Subdivision 2 Installation of manufactured homes and associated structures in manufactured home estates
Note. Section 68 of the Act prohibits a person from installing a manufactured home or associated structure on land without the prior approval of the council, except in so far as the regulations (among other instruments) allow a manufactured home or associated structure to be installed without that approval. Section 626 makes it an offence to fail to obtain such an approval. Breach of the conditions on which the installation of a manufactured home or associated structure is allowed constitutes an offence under section 627 of the Act.
(1) The prior approval of the council is not required for:(a) the installation of a manufactured home on land within a manufactured home estate, so long as:(i) it is designed, constructed and installed in accordance with the relevant requirements of Division 4, and(ii) it is not occupied by any person until a certificate of completion has been issued for it, or(b) the installation of an associated structure on land within a manufactured home estate, so long as it is designed, constructed and installed in accordance with the relevant requirements of Division 4.(2) An exemption provided for by this clause applies in respect of the installation of a manufactured home only if such installation is carried out by or with the consent of the holder of the approval to operate the manufactured home estate concerned.(3) An exemption provided for by this clause does not apply to the installation of a manufactured home on flood liable land if the council has notified in writing the holder of the approval to operate the manufactured home estate concerned, before that installation, that the land is flood liable land.(4) An exemption provided for by this clause does not apply to the installation of manufactured homes, or associated structures, of more than one storey in height.Note. By virtue of clause 2, clause 9 (4) commences on 1 March 2006.
10 Installation on flood-liable land
(1) In deciding whether to approve the installation of a manufactured home or associated structure in a manufactured home estate on flood liable land, the council must have regard to the principles contained in the Floodplain Development Manual.(2) It is a condition of an approval to install a manufactured home or an associated structure on flood liable land that the manufactured home is designed, constructed and installed in a manufactured home estate in accordance with Division 4.
11 Installation of manufactured home or associated structure of more than one storey
In deciding whether to approve the installation in a manufactured home estate of a manufactured home or associated structure having more than one storey, the council must have regard to the likely impact on the amenity of any occupiers of any adjoining manufactured home and the amenity of any occupiers of land adjoining that manufactured home estate.
