All submissions received are in the process of being reviewed by Council planning staff. Due to the large number of submissions received this review will take some months.

Background

Blue Mountains City Council has prepared a new Local Environmental Plan (LEP) known as DLEP 2013 which will replace Councils existing LEP 2005, LEP 1991 and LEP 4.

This draft plan has been prepared in response to the State Government's requirement for all NSW Councils to conform to the Standard Instrument (LEP plans) Order 2006 (also known as the 'Standard Instrument Local Environmental Plan').

The DLEP was on public exhibition from 4 December 2013 to 5 March 2014 and has now concluded.

Council issued an Acknowledgement Notice to all submitters, either by mail or email after the end of public exhibition.

Please note that following the exhibition, the Department of Planning and Infrastructure have advised that the draft LEP may be changed to satisfy legal drafting requirements and amendments to local model clauses.
