Equivalent Zones

The Codes SEPP relies on the land use zones established under Standard Instrument — Principal Local Environmental Plan (LEP). In circumstances where council has not yet made an 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 by order published in the Gazette.

As no such order has been made regarding the determination of equivalent zones, it is a matter for the consent authority (council or the private certifier) in each case. However the following tables listing the equivalent zones, by local government area, have been prepared based on information provided by each council. The tables are provided to promote consistency of interpretation of land use zones across all NSW council areas.

Where a principal LEP for the local government area has been prepared in accordance with the Standard Instrument, an equivalent zone is no longer applicable. Relevant zoning information can be found in council's LEP. Please refer to council's website.
