Council has a responsibility to all residents to ensure that development and building work is planned and monitored in a responsible and sustainable manner. The new comprehensive LLEP 2008 is also to rezone land in accordance with the standard instrument order issued by the State Government. The LLEP 2008 is in accordance with the directions of the State Government.
The LLEP 2008 is set to become the principal environmental planning instrument by mid 2008. The plan accommodates the growing needs of Liverpool over the next 25 years. Council is also amalgamating 17 rezonings and seven deferred matters in LLEP 2008.
The LLEP 2008 will be supported by Liverpool’s consolidated Development Control Plan (DCP) which provides guidelines on detailed aspects of development. The DCP will be on public exhibition over the coming months.
