What is a Planning
Proposal?
The preparation of a Planning Proposal is the first step in
preparing a local environmental plan (“an LEP”) or an
amendment to an LEP. The LEP process includes the
submission of a Planning Proposal to the Department of
Planning and Environment for the Director-General of
Planning’s approval before community consultation is
undertaken. The Planning Proposal then forms part of the
documentation for the community consultation.
A Planning Proposal is a document that explains the intended
effect of a proposed LEP or amendment to an LEP and sets out
the justification for making that plan.
What is it an LEP?
An LEP provides the statutory framework (legislation)
supporting all planning, development and development
restrictions for land, and aims to conserve local heritage and
protect sensitive land.
The LEP is made up of a written instrument and maps.

Planning Proposal
prepared?

Environmental Plan (“HLEP”) 2012 in relation to the subject
