More information about the Standard Instrument for LEPs In circumstances where council has not yet made a LEP in accordance with the Standard Instrument, the Codes SEPP provides that complying development can be carried out on an equivalent zone. The Codes SEPP includes a guide to determining the equivalent zones under clause 1.6 (1) and allows the Director General of the Department of Planning to determine the equivalent zones. View or download tables for all NSW council equivalent zones under the code top Local Exclusions and Variations Local Exclusions and Variations are areas in which the Codes SEPP no longer applies to certain land, or where variations have been made to the development standards. A number of councils across the state applied for local exclusions and variations to the Codes SEPP. The decision on whether to support these local exclusions and variations was made by the Independent Local Exclusions and Variations Expert Panel. Letters sent to Council's that successfully sought a local exclusion or variation to the Codes SEPP. Maps outlining those lots that are excluded from the Codes SEPP have been prepared and listed below.   Map types Map sheets (identification numbers) Ballina Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_0250_LCD_001_20101022 (161 kB) LCD_002 SEPP_ECD_0250_LCD_002_20101022 (318 kB) Botany Bay Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_1100_LCD_001_20101022 (807 kB) LCD_002 SEPP_ECD_1100_LCD_002_20101022 (176 kB) LCD_003 SEPP_ECD_1100_LCD_003_20101022 (345 kB) LCD_004 SEPP_ECD_1100_LCD_004_20101022 (180 kB) Botany Bay Exempt Development Land Map LED_001 SEPP_ECD_1100_LED_001_20101022 (861 KB) LED_002 SEPP_ECD_1100_LED_002_20101022 (171 KB) LED_003 SEPP_ECD_1100_LED_003_20101022 (371 KB) LED_004 SEPP_ECD_1100_LED_004_20101022 (218 KB) Queanbeyan Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_1520_LCD_001_20101022 (846 kB) Clarence Valley Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_1730_LCD_001_20101022 (772 kB) Great Lakes Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_3400_LCD_001_20101022 (247 kB) Kiama Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_4400_LCD_001_20101022 (226 kB) Marrickville Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_5200_LCD_001_20101022 (238 kB) LCD_002 SEPP_ECD_5200_LCD_002_20101022 (222 kB) LCD_003 SEPP_ECD_5200_LCD_003_20101022 (476 kB) LCD_004 SEPP_ECD_5200_LCD_004_20101022 (392 kB) Mosman Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_5350_LCD_001_20101022 (246 kB) LCD_002 SEPP_ECD_5350_LCD_002_20101022 (521 kB) LCD_003 SEPP_ECD_5350_LCD_003_20101022 (185 kB) LCD_004 SEPP_ECD_5350_LCD_004_20101022 (210 kB) Nambucca Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_5700_LCD_001_20101022 (149 kB) Pittwater Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_6370_LCD_001_20101022 (472 kB) LCD_002 SEPP_ECD_6370_LCD_002_20101022 (869 kB) LCD_003 SEPP_ECD_6370_LCD_003_20101022 (904 kB) LCD_004 SEPP_ECD_6370_LCD_004_20101022 (553 kB) Randwick Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_6550_LCD_001_20101022 (234 kB) Randwick Exempt Development Land Map LED_001 SEPP_ECD_6550_LED_001_20101022 (233 kB) Shoalhaven Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_6950_LCD_001_20101022 (502 kB) LCD_002 SEPP_ECD_6950_LCD_002_20101022 (500 kB) LCD_003 SEPP_ECD_6950_LCD_003_20101022 (157 kB) LCD_004 SEPP_ECD_6950_LCD_004_20101022 (204 kB) LCD_005 SEPP_ECD_6950_LCD_005_20101022 (219 kB) LCD_006 SEPP_ECD_6950_LCD_006_20101022 (306 kB) LCD_007 SEPP_ECD_6950_LCD_007_20101022 (284 kB) LCD_008 SEPP_ECD_6950_LCD_008_20101022 (192 kB) LCD_009 SEPP_ECD_6950_LCD_009_20101022 (330 kB) LCD_010 SEPP_ECD_6950_LCD_010_20101022 (137 kB) LCD_011 SEPP_ECD_6950_LCD_011_20101022 (152 kB) Wyong Complying Development Land Map LCD_001 SEPP_ECD_8550_LCD_001_20101022 (175 kB) LCD_002 SEPP_ECD_8550_LCD_002_20101022 (304 kB) LCD_003 SEPP_ECD_8550_LCD_003_20101022 (172 kB) LCD_004 SEPP_ECD_8550_LCD_004_20101022 (153 kB) LCD_005 SEPP_ECD_8550_LCD_005_20101022 (111 kB) LCD_006 SEPP_ECD_8550_LCD_006_20101022 (215 kB) LCD_007 SEPP_ECD_8550_LCD_007_20101022 (157 kB) LCD_008 SEPP_ECD_8550_LCD_008_20101022 (263 kB) Wyong Exempt Development Land Map LED_001 SEPP_ECD_8550_LED_001_20101022 (184 kB) LED_002 SEPP_ECD_8550_LED_002_20101022 (314 kB) LED_003 SEPP_ECD_8550_LED_003_20101022 (177 kB) LED_004 SEPP_ECD_8550_LED_004_20101022 (153 kB) LED_005 SEPP_ECD_8550_LED_005_20101022 (112 kB) LED_006 SEPP_ECD_8550_LED_006_20101022 (215 kB) LED_007 SEPP_ECD_8550_LED_007_20101022 (158 kB) LED_008 SEPP_ECD_8550_LED_008_20101022 (263 kB) top   Last Updated 07-Feb-2012
