   2. The land is not within 30 metres of land (not a road) which is in a residential zone. (This does not apply in a Capital City Zone or Docklands Zone.)
   3. Must not be for a purpose listed in the table to Clause 52.10 in the planning scheme
   4. Is not associated with a dwelling in a Mixed Use Zone
   5. The land is in any of the following zones:
      • Mixed Use Zone
      • Any industrial zone
      • Any commercial zone
      • Capital City Zone
      • Docklands Zone
   6. If the land is in a heritage zone, that other information requirements are met
