For each zone, it sets out:\n*   **Permitted uses** — what activities and buildings are allowed (for example, farms, shops, factories, or homes).\n*   **Development consent requirements** — whether you need permission (a ‘development consent’) from the Council, or if certain small-scale works are ‘exempt’ (no permission needed) or ‘complying’ (fast-tracked approval).\n*   **Prohibited uses** — what is banned outright.\n\n**Key protections and controls**\n*   **Rural land:** Special rules prevent the fragmentation of farmland. There are strict tests for creating new lots or building homes in rural zones, often requiring proof of an economic need for a dwelling (such as intensive agriculture) or historical land holdings dating back to 1991.\n*   **Environment:** The Plan protects specific areas identified on maps, including wetlands, riverbanks (riparian land), groundwater vulnerable areas, and sites with high biodiversity. Development in these areas must avoid, minimise, or mitigate environmental harm.\n*   **Heritage:** It lists specific heritage items (like old churches, railway stations, and homesteads) and requires Council approval to demolish, alter, or build near them.\n*   **Flooding:** Development in flood-prone areas must be compatible with flood behaviour and not block evacuation routes.\n*   **Special local issues:** The Plan includes specific rules for the Narrandera Airport (protecting flight paths and noise-sensitive buildings), a Defence communications facility near Morundah (restricting electromagnetic interference), and aquaculture (fish farming) operations.\n\n**Why it matters**\nThis Plan balances the need for housing, jobs, and industry with the protection of productive farmland, natural waterways (like the Murrumbidgee River), and the area’s cultural history. It tells landowners what they can do with their property and gives the Council the legal power to approve or refuse development applications."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/narrandera-local-environmental-plan-2013","history":"/api/acts/narrandera-local-environmental-plan-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/narrandera-local-environmental-plan-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/narrandera-local-environmental-plan-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/narrandera-local-environmental-plan-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/narrandera-local-environmental-plan-2013/documents"}}
