The NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) has replaced the Business and Industrial zones in Council’s Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) with new ‘Employment’ zones.
The new Employment zones take effect from 26 April 2023.
Please refer to the table below which shows the Business and Industrial zones (pre-26 April 2023) and the replacement Employment zones (post-26 April 2023) for Council’s current LEPs.
In most cases, land uses allowed under the ‘old’ zones are also allowed under the new zones. Where they are not, transitional rules apply (see the Department of Planning and Environment website for details).
