Local Environmental Plan
 

The Randwick Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 1998 (Consolidation), gazetted 15 January 2010, provides the statutory framework for planning in the City. It allocates land for specific purposes through zoning and development controls. It also contains provisions to conserve Randwick's Heritage and protect sensitive land.

Randwick LEP 1998 (Consolidation):

Note: Randwick LEP 1998 (Consolidation) is an update of the 1998 LEP and consolidation of all the amending plans. The plan also updates zoning maps with new property information (but does not rezone any land); makes some changes to the format; and incorporates some clauses from the State Government's standard LEP template.

Randwick LEP 1998 (Consolidation) Information Sheet (pdf 390KB) summarises the key changes to the 1998 plan. For further information please contact the Strategic Planning Department on 9399 0992.

Inglis Newmarket site planning (rezoning) proposal

A review report on the Inglis Newmarket Planning Proposal was carried out by an independent expert commissioned by Council (the NSW Government Architect) and was considered at the Planning Committee meeting of Council, 6 December 2011.

You may view the Council Report, attachments and resolution here:

The independent review was based on the applicant's technical studies submitted in June 2011.

Background:

The applicant submitted a planning proposal in May 2010 to rezone this 5 ha site from low density residential to a mix of residential densities and some neighbourhood/commercial uses (see preliminary reports attached below).

Council considered this preliminary proposal and required the applicant to prepare a number of technical studies to determine the suitability and details of their proposal. The Council did not endorse any of the proposed heights or densities. These technical studies were lodged with Council in June 2011. These documents have been reviewed, with input from specialist consultants that Council has appointed to assist in its assessment. These include:

  • Planning/design/heritage experts - NSW Government Architect
  • Traffic/transport experts - GTA Consultants
