Blacktown Local Environmental Plan
What are Local Environmental Plans?
Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) are prepared by Councils to guide planning decisions in their Local Government Areas and establish the requirements for the use and development of land. Through zoning and development controls they allow Councils to supervise the ways in which land is used.
Blacktown Local Environmental Plan 1988 (BLEP 1988) is the comprehensive statutory (legal) planning document that applies to the whole of the Blacktown Local Government Area, aside from land which the following State Environmental Policies (SEPPs), or deemed SEPPs, apply:
- SEPP 29 - Western Sydney Recreation Area 2009
- Sydney Regional Environmental Plan 31 - Regional Parklands
- SEPP 59 - Central Western Sydney Regional Open Space and Residential
- SEPP - Major Projects 2005 (Amendment No.22)
