New South Wales regulation
The Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 is the City of Sydney’s legally binding rulebook that controls land use and development across the inner-city (CBD and surrounding suburbs). It determines what can be built or used where, sets height and density limits, and protects heritage and environmental values.
It affects anyone owning, renting, developing or running a business in the council area because most significant works or use changes need to comply with the LEP — and it’s frequently amended, so check the current version.
