Hi,

I remember reading somewhere but cant find it again that if a dwelling has been built on a property that does not have approval, so long as it has been standing for 5 years it cannot be demolished and owner cannot be ordered to bring dwelling up to compliance. I then remember finding an amendment to the 5 year rule, increasing the time to 14 years (all in NSW). Is anyone aware of this and if yes where can I find the legislation that outlines these facts? Thank you
