Standard Instrument Local Environmental Plan
On 31 March 2006, the NSW Government gazetted a Standard Instrument for preparing new Local Environmental Plans (LEPs), also known as the Standard Instrument LEP template. LEP's across NSW will now use the same planning language, making it easier for communities to understand what is proposed for their local area. Councils are able to include localised planning objectives and provisions specific to their area, as well as determine zoning, additional land uses, heritage items, and development standards such as height and minimum lot sizes.
Following on from the completion of the Pittwater Local Planning Strategy, staff are in the process of preparing Pittwater's draft Standard Instrument LEP. Upon completion of the draft Standard Instrument LEP an intensive consultation process will be undertaken with the community.
