SEPPs

State Environmental Planning Policies

The NSW Government has established State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPPs) to address significant issues of the state and the people of NSW. SEPPs contain individual chapters that apply to a specific area or in specific circumstances. In some cases, they override the Liverpool LEP 2008 and Liverpool DCP 2008, while in other cases they are applied in conjunction with them.

On 1 March 2022 several SEPPs were consolidated. The following new SEPPS (and relevant chapters) apply to the Liverpool LGA:
