Draft Amendment 4 (Housekeeping) to LEP 2015

The purpose of draft Amendment 4 to Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2015 is to make a series of minor changes to the wording of LEP 2015, commonly known as a ‘housekeeping’ amendment, to rectify issues identified since the making of the LEP.

Proposed changes include:

• Improving the wording of Clause 4.4A & 6.1(5) to remove ambiguity between ‘lot’, ‘area’ and ‘site’ so that site coverage and landscaped area provisions are applied as intended
• Clarifying the operation of Clause 6.28 Rural and nature based tourist facilities
• Restoring heritage listings mistakenly omitted from the final version of the LEP
• Correcting an erroneous Lot & DP reference in Schedule 1
• Adding map KYS_005EA to capture information formally contained (during public exhibition) on map FSR_005EA

The draft Planning Proposal and exhibition documents are available for download in the Document Library.
