Provide adequate buffer areas to mineral deposits, forestry resources and electricity generation sites in the LEP and develop control plans Use the findings of the Rural Lands Panel to plan for agriculture in the LEP Consult with the community on the management of rural lands Determine the future use of the minerals processing park Continue to participate in government taskforces relating to economic development Identify employment generation lands in the Land Use Strategy and LEP Provide adequate buffer zones and design requirements in the LEP and/or development control plans Prepare a retail strategy and use the results to inform the LEP Foster partnerships between tourism service providers, the community and government Continue to develop cross LGA boundary tourism opportunities Strengthen brand identity Continue to establish tourist drives Provide indigenous experiences in consultation with the indigenous community Planning & Reporting Manual Page 46 of 115
2. THE COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN 2.11 Connecting with the LEP and other land use planning mechanisms The Community Strategic Plan will set high level objectives that relate to land use planning, but each council will still be required to prepare a Local Environmental Plan (LEP) in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act) and associated Regulations. The LEP is an important tool for mapping out the details of land use planning in the city or shire. Many councils already prepare Land Use Strategies or Conservation and Development Strategies to help capture the community’s strategic objectives for land use and refine them into details which may ultimately be included in the LEP. LEPs are the principal legal document for controlling development at the council level. In their preparation councils must demonstrate consistency with relevant State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPPs), local planning directions (section 117 directions under the EP&A Act), relevant regional and sub-regional strategies, the Standard Instrument Order (state-wide template for LEPs), as well as the objects and provisions of the EP&A Act. It is important when drafting the Community Strategic Plan, and in any community engagement shaping the Community Strategic Plan, that it is identified and made clear up-front that, as a result of these other statutory considerations, there will be some issues raised that may not be able to be reflected in the LEP. Other issues may only be able to influence its content (e.g. through the overall aim of the LEP, local zone objectives and non-mandatory permitted or prohibited land uses). This is particularly important as the new Gateway Test for the LEPs will consider whether a council’s LEP is consistent with the Community Strategic Plan. Where an issue is not able to be included in the LEP, its inclusion in another appropriate manner should ensure the issue is addressed – for example in the Development Control Plan, through a Council policy or Council information leaflets. The example on the previous page shows one of the methods councils can use to connect the Community Strategic Plan with other planning mechanisms, such as land use strategies, the LEP and Development Control Plans. In this particular example, the community has identified some key result areas for employment that will have impacts on land use within the local government area. It has also identified that one method of meeting these objectives is via the LEP. In this case, specific actions relating to the LEP have been included in the Community Strategic Plan. Other councils may choose not to be so specific in the Community Strategic Plan and reference the detailed connections with the LEP in the Delivery Program instead.
