In recent years the State Government has embarked on a program of planning reforms aimed at simplifying and streamlining the NSW planning system. One of the most significant reforms has been the development of a standard format for local environmental plans to be adopted by all councils in NSW within the next 2 to 5 years. The StandardTemplate(also known as the Standard Instrument) incorporates standard planning provisions, clauses, definitions and zones into the one document. The Department of Planning has given North Sydney Council until March 2009 to have a new comprehensive LEP gazetted which is consistent with the Standard Template. The preparation of a new comprehensive LEP presents an opportune time to review the North Sydney Development Control Plan 2002 (NSDCP 2002). The amendments to the NSDCP 2002 will address the implications arising from the Standard Templateand a range of outstanding matters and issues requiring attention.
