New South Wales Consolidated Regulations

WELLINGTON LOCAL ENVIRONMENT PLAN 1995 - REG 2

2 Aims

The general aims of this plan are:

(a) to rationalise, and to consolidate into a single instrument, the various environmental planning controls previously applicable to the Wellington Council area by:

(i) correcting zoning anomalies, and

(ii) removing redundant provisions and replacing them with provisions that are now standard, and

(b) to widen the scope of permissible land uses so as to reduce the necessity for preparation of amending local environmental plans with respect to individual development proposals, and

(c) to maintain the opportunity for public involvement and participation in environmental planning and assessment, by providing a framework to support development control plans which will regulate development in any land use zone by:

(i) restricting the carrying out of a kind of development to a specified area within the zone, or

(ii) fixing standards or specifying requirements in respect of any aspect of that development,

to supplement the broad controls in this plan.
