• in the Commercial 1 Zone, Commercial 3 Zone, Special Use Zone, Comprehensive Development Zone, Capital City Zone, Docklands Zone, Priority Development Zone or Activity Centre Zone.

Clause 58 applies if a zone or overlay specifies a requirement that is different from a requirement in clause 58 – excluding clause 58.04-1.
