Planning Policies

Last modified: September 29, 2009 - 9:38 AM

When preparing to develop in the Shire, it is important to understand the Bland Local Environmental Plan 1993 (LEP) and Bland Development Control Plan 1999 (DCP) which apply to your area, your property or your type of development and check Council's requirements carefully to ensure that your proposal complies with these controls.

Once you are familiar with what applies to your land, including relevant zones, bushfire prone areas etc, you can refer to the LEP to firstly determine whether the proposal is permissible within the Zone and whether it meets any specific site provisions.

The DCP examines issues associated with site analysis and design, and provides principles and performance criteria for site responsive design, context and design solutions for development.

It is recommended that the LEP and DCP be fully considered prior to preparation

Bland Local Environmental Plan 1993

Bland Local Environmental Plan 1993 is the principal legal document for controlling development at the Council level.  The zoning provisions establish permissibility of uses and standards regulate the extent of development

The latest version of the LEP can be viewed at the Legislation NSW website (http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/).

Bland Development Control Plan 1999

Bland Development Control Plan 1999 is a detailed guideline that illustrates the controls that apply to developments in Bland Shire.  The DCP supplements the requirements of Bland Local Environmental Plan 1993.

Bland Section 94 Development Contributions Plan 1995

The Section 94 Plan enables Council to levy contributions from new development for the provision and/or upgrading of community facilities and services.
