Background

The NSW Government has standardised employment zones across NSW, and requires all councils in NSW to update their land use planning rules to respond to the changing nature of industry and business, in a way that is locally appropriate.

This proposal

We have responded by preparing draft changes to our planning rules (‘Local Environment Plan’ and ‘Development Control Plan’), which will affect all business and industrial zoned land in our City.

In relation to the ‘Canterbury-Bankstown Local Environmental Plan 2023’ (LEP), the intended outcome is to carry out an administrative ‘best fit’ translation of Council’s existing business and industrial zones to the NSW Government’s new employment zones, with some mandated changes to the associated land use tables.

The draft changes will impact zoning and land uses. It does not affect density controls such as building heights and floor space ratios.

In relation to the ‘Canterbury-Bankstown Development Control Plan 2023’, the intended outcome is to make changes that align with the updated LEP, such as updating the zone names. There are no changes to the DCP that will impact how development can be designed and or achieved.

Once we receive your feedback, we will consider responses and report to Council for endorsement to make our recommendations to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI). The DPHI will ultimately finalise the draft changes as Council has not been identified as the designated local plan-making authority.

The draft changes are now on public exhibition and can be viewed online below, or in person at our Customer Service Centres during business hours. The closing date for submissions is Friday 8 November 2024.
