Council's adopted Local Strategic Planning Statement outlines the 20 year vision, planning priorities and actions for land use in Lane Cove.
This statement has been endorsed by the Greater Sydney Commission and will now be used to inform future amendments to Council's Local Environmental Plan and Development Control Plan. The LSPS came into force on 30 March 2020 when it was published on the NSW Planning Portal website.
Council's adopted Local Housing Strategy was approved by NSW Department of Planning, Industry & Environment on 14 September 2021. As a result, it is now a primary consideration when assessing new Planning Proposals for housing - in addition to the LSPS.
