Local Environmental Plans

Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) help guide planning decisions in local areas by setting rules about how land can be used and what kind of development is allowed.

Zoning decides what land can be used for (like housing, industry, or parks), and development controls set limits, such as the maximum height for buildings.

Updating LEPs ensures that local planning rules stay current. The process of making or changing LEPs is designed to keep these rules relevant and effective.
