A Planning Proposal is a document that seeks to amend Council's Local Environment Plan (LEP) planning controls.
The preparation of a Planning Proposal is the first step in the process of amending an LEP. Planning Proposal's may be initiated by Council or a third party.
All Planning Proposals must first be considered by Council's Local Planning Panel and then by the Council, before being lodged with the NSW Department of Planning and Environment who will manage the proposal through the Gateway Process. Depending on the nature of a Planning Proposal, it may also be accompanied by proposed amendments to Lane Cove's other strategic planning documents (i.e. Development Control Plan) and/or a Development Application.
If a Planning Proposal passes through the Gateway, as part of the LEP amendment process public consultation will occur, prior to Council formally adopting a position. The NSW Department of Planning and Environment is then advised of Council's position, and the Minister for Planning will ultimately determine whether the amendment should proceed. Any Development Application can not be determined until this has occurred.
Please refer to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment's A Guide to Preparing Planning Proposals for further information.
