Major planning strategies
Local Environment Plan
The Local Environment Plan (LEP) guides Council’s planning decisions in the local government area. The LEP is Council's main land use planning tool used to make sure development is done correctly.
Development Control Plan
The Development Control Plan (DCP) works with the LEP and provides detailed planning and design guidance for what you can do on your land.
