Update 16 July 2010
Council has prepared a draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP) for the entire City. A report on the draft LEP 2011 will be considered at the Council Meeting on Wednesday 21 July 2010.
You can obtain a copy of this report:
- from Council's Business Papers website, or
- by visiting Council's Customer Service Centre at the Administration Building, 2 Bryant Street, Rockdale
The report seeks Council's endorsement of the draft LEP. If Council adopts the draft LEP, it will be sent to the Department of Planning for certification for public exhibition purposes.
Please note that the draft LEP 2011 attached to the report is not the official exhibition version, as it may be changed either by Council on Wednesday 21 July, or in negotiations with the Department of Planning.
