Only mandatory provisions added by an Order will use double lettering in this manner, and the same convention applies to any additional mandatory subclauses and paragraphs that are inserted in an existing clause. If a whole Part is added by an Order, it will also have double lettering (eg Part 5AA, with clauses starting at 5AA.1) so as to distinguish the Part from any additional non-mandatory (or local) Part that may be included in a local environmental plan that has adopted the standard instrument.\n> \n> In the case of additional non-mandatory (or local) provisions of a local environmental plan that has adopted the standard instrument, an additional Part will ordinarily be added after Part 5 with a sequential Part number (eg Parts 6, 7 etc) and clauses in that Part will have sequential numbers (eg clauses 6.1, 6.2 or 7.1, 7.2 etc). However, if it is necessary to add a non-mandatory Part between any of the Parts of the standard instrument, it will have a number with single lettering (eg Part 4A, with clauses starting at clause 4A.1).

If any interior features are part of the heritage significance of a heritage item, these should also be described—for example “Lindsey (including original bathroom, dining room fireplace with mantelpiece and original detailing throughout)” or “Lindsey (including all interior features)”. Any thing that is part of the heritage significance of a heritage item should also be included in the inventory of heritage items.\n\nHeritage items cannot be identified in the Schedule as having “State significance” unless they are listed on the State Heritage Register.

If you want to build a house, open a shop, run a farm, or develop land, your local council's LEP (built on this template) determines what's allowed.\n\n## Why does it matter?\n\n**Before this standard instrument existed**, every council had its own unique planning rulebook with different terminology, zone names, and rules. This was confusing for anyone dealing with multiple councils.\n\n**This law standardised** the planning system so that:\n- Land **zones** (areas designated for particular uses, like residential, commercial, industrial, environmental, or agricultural) have consistent names and meanings across the state\n- Planning rules use **consistent definitions and language**\n- Councils can still customise certain elements, but within a set framework\n\n## Key things to know\n\n- **Land zones** are at the heart of this law. They determine what you can and can't do with your property. Examples include residential zones (R1, R2 etc.), commercial zones, industrial zones, and environmental/conservation zones.\n- **Major zone overhaul in 2021**: The old Business zones (B1–B8), Industrial zones (IN1–IN4) and Environmental zones (E1–E4) were abolished and replaced with new zone names (like E5, MU1, C1–C4, W4). If your property's zone changed, the rules applying to it may have changed significantly.\n- **Heavily amended**: This instrument has been updated approximately **60+ times** since 2006, meaning the rules have changed frequently.\n- **Your council's LEP** — which governs what you can actually do with your land — is built directly on this template. Changes to this standard instrument can flow through to affect what's permitted in your local area.\n\n## Practical impact\n\nIf you're a **homeowner or developer**, this law indirectly shapes every development application (DA) you make. Your council's planning rules must follow this template, so understanding it helps you understand why certain activities are permitted or prohibited on your land.\n\nIf you're a **business** looking at new premises, the zone your property sits in — defined using this template — determines whether your type of business can legally operate there."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[{"type":"other","section":"cl 5.5 history note","severity":"medium","reasoning":"A clause cannot be repealed and then re-inserted under the same number without creating interpretive confusion.
