Council is working with the community on a proposed review of the Hunters Hill Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and Hunters Hill Development Control Plan (DCP).
The objectives for the current LEP and DCP review are to:
On 15 March 2023, Council held a community meeting for the proposed review of the Hunters Hill Local Environmental Plan LEP and DCP.
The presentation from this community meeting can be viewed here.
Minutes from the meeting are also available here.
Stakeholder consultation sessions have also been held during March.
Feedback provided by stakeholders will be collated, reviewed and is intended to be reported to Council for consideration prior to further progression of the LEP and DCP review process.
Further information about making and amending of LEPs is available on the NSW Department of Planning and Environment website.
An LEP (Local Environmental Plan) is the main legal document that guides planning decisions and manages the way land is used within a local government area.
Through zoning and planning controls, an LEP is used to guide development, protect heritage and the environment as well as reserve land for open space, schools, transport or other public uses.
A DCP (Development Control Plan) supports an LEP through providing more detail regarding development controls.
The review of the LEP and DCP is intended to facilitate amendments to the documents to achieve the following objectives:
These meetings are providing important feedback about suggested pathways and content into the LEP/DCP review. Members of the community have also been speaking with staff on a regular basis as well as providing written feedback. Written feedback is important as it provides the basis for reports to both Council and State Government.
The next step in the process is for Council’s Strategic Planner to develop a comprehensive Scoping Report that will include feedback received to date. This Scoping Report will come to both Council and the community for comment before it will go to the State Government for comment.
