Planning proposals
A Planning Proposal is the formal process by which a Local Environmental Plan is amended.
These amendments may take various forms, such as;
- Amendment of the land use table to change the range of land uses permissible within a certain zone, or to introduce new land use definitions.
- Amendment of map-based controls such as zoning or minimum lot size to vary the range or intensity of development options for a site.
- Introduction of new local clauses to support strategic land use and development application processes and outcomes.
Planning Proposals can either be initiated by Council, or by an external applicant, usually a professional planning consultant, known as the Proponent.
Both the Wingecarribee Local Housing Strategy and the Local Strategic Planning Statement should be consulted if you are considering preparing a Planning Proposal. Generally, Council will only support Proponent initiated Planning Proposals if they are consistent with these Strategies and both site-specific merit and strategic merit can be clearly demonstrated.
