Public Exhibition of draft Botany Bay Local Environmental Plan 2012

Council has recently prepared new planning controls for the City of Botany Bay, known as the draft Botany Bay Local Environmental Plan 2012. These new controls are in response to the State Government’s requirement of all Councils to prepare a standard format LEP. The draft Botany Bay Local Environment Plan is a statutory planning document that sets the direction for growth in the City of Botany Bay.

The draft Botany Bay Local Environmental Plan 2012 will replace the Botany Local Environmental Plan 1995. The new Local Environment Plan is consistent with the Standard Instrument, which was introduced by the State Government in March 2006.

The Local Environmental Plan applies to all land within the City of Botany Bay, except for the industrial lands covered by the Major Development State Environmental Planning Policy.


It is on exhibition till Friday 22 June 2012 and comprises two parts – the written instrument and the maps. It is unlikely that council will finalise the Local Environmental Plan until much later in the year, if not towards the end of the year, so there is plenty of time for residents to make their submissions if you can't by the due date.
