Draft Bega Valley Local Environmental Plan 2010

The State Government has initiated a number of reforms and changes to the NSW Planning System over recent years. One of these changes was the introduction of a standard template for Local Environmental Plans (LEPs). As a result, all Councils in NSW are required to prepare a new LEP in accordance with this standard template. This approach will ensure consistency amongst Council planning controls across NSW.

Bega Valley Shire’s draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2010 has been prepared in accordance with the standard template requirements which govern the content and operation of the draft LEP and has been certified by the NSW Department of Planning for exhibition purposes.

The draft LEP guides development in the local government area. The plan allows Council to manage the ways in which land may be used through zoning and development controls.

The draft Bega Valley LEP 2010 will apply to all of the Bega Valley Shire local government area. Once adopted it will replace the existing Bega Valley LEP 2002.

At the same time Council is also exhibiting Draft Bega Valley Development Control Plan (DCP) 2011. This new plan will replace all existing development control plans and has been developed in line with NSW Government requirements.

The draft LEP 2010 includes a written document and a series of maps. Please follow the links to the draft LEP, Maps, Draft DCP and other supporting material.

Details of the Public Exhibition and how the community can provide feedback to Council on the Draft LEP or Draft DCP are also provided.
