2025 Housekeeping Amendments to Willoughby Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012

Willoughby Local Environment Plan 2012 (LEP) provides rules about what we can build and where, in our local government area.

Changes to the LEP aim to address minor anomalies and inconsistencies in the documents. These changes are called housekeeping amendments, meaning they are relatively minor changes with an intention to clarify an existing clause or control where there has been uncertainty.

It also corrects obvious mapping errors.

The proposed changes to the LEP are detailed in the Fact Sheets on the right side.

The LEP Housekeeping amendments are on public exhibition from Monday 17 March until Monday 14 April 2025.

Separately, housekeeping changes to the Development Control Plan (DCP) are also currently on exhibition.
