A Local Environmental Plan (LEP) is a legal document. It controls land use and development in a local government area. LEP's include land use zones, building heights, heritage items and local conditions, such as landscaping.
The following LEPs currently apply.
To find out what planning controls affect your property, visit the NSW Planning Portal.
The GRLEP 2021 came into effect on 8 October 2021. The Hurstville Local Environmental Plan 2012 and Kogarah Local Environmental Plan 2012 no longer apply.
Development applications lodged before 8 October 2021 will be assessed under the former Hurstville or Kogarah plans.
