Local Environmental Plan
Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) guide planning decisions for local government areas through zoning and development controls.
They provide a local framework for the way land can be developed and used. LEPs are the main planning tool to shape the future of communities by ensuring local development is carried out appropriately.
The Berrigan Shire Local Environmental Plan (LEP) Review
The Berrigan Shire Local Environmental Plan (LEP) Review is a rare opportunity to consider the preferred futures of Berrigan Shire and empower the community to implement them. It seeks to understand and contextualise the shire’s community, built and living environments, future visions, and eventually put in place a key piece of local, enabling legislation. This Strategic Framework and District Plans have been infomed by a Strategic Context Review, which compiled and and analysed data on Berrigan Shire’s population, housing and employment, industry, tourism, infrastructure, and the effects on the living and natural environment.
