Local Environmental Plans

The Bathurst Regional Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2014 applies to all land within the Bathurst region. The Plan came into effect on 19 November 2014.

The Bathurst Regional LEP is a legal document that contains details about zoning, development controls and other provisions that will affect how land in the Bathurst Region can be developed and used in the future. The written instrument should be read in conjunction with the associated LEP maps.  The written instrument and maps can be downloaded from the NSW Legislation website.

The Bathurst Region is also subject to a number of State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPPs). SEPPs deal with issues significant to NSW and are made by the Minister for Planning. These policies may apply to all of NSW or specific areas of the State. For a list of SEPPs, visit the NSW Legislation website (search "Browse in Force" then "EPIs" and select "S").
