Recently Exhibited Planning Proposals

A Planning Proposal is a document that seeks to amend Council's planning controls.

Such planning controls are contained in our Local Environmental Plan (LEP) which aims to manage urban growth and the impact of new development. They include matters such as zoning restrictions, heritage controls, height limits and other controls.

The preparation of a Planning Proposal is the first step in the process of amending an LEP.

Council is ultimately responsible for Planning Proposals and must be satisfied with their content. All planning proposals should be prepared in accordance with the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) guide: Guide to Preparing Planning Proposals.

If Council is of the opinion that the proposed amendment to the LEP can be supported, the proposal will be forwarded to the DPE for the next step in the process, being a gateway determination. Should gateway determination be issued by the DPE, Planning Proposals are then publicly exhibited to seek community and stakeholder input.
