These are Campbelltown (Urban Area) LEP 2002; LEP 1; LEP (Central Hills)District 8; LEP 112 - Macquarie Field House; LEP 32, IDO 13; IDO 15 and IDO 28.Each of these instruments contain provisions (controls) relating to tree preservation. There are anumber of inconsistencies across these LEPs and IDOs with respect to the management oftrees.Notwithstanding, all of the EPIs require the consent of the Council to remove trees, or in someinstances, an approval of Council (not being a development consent) can suffice.Importantly, the forthcoming Comprehensive LEP must follow a standardised format or ‘template’mandated by the NSW Department of Planning. That ‘template’ includes an optional clause todeal with the issue of the preservation of trees and other vegetation. It will be recommended bystaff, at a later date, that Council incorporate the optional tree preservation clause into theComprehensive Campbelltown LEP. In the interim, however, it is important for any newprovisions for the management of trees, to be consistent with the ‘template clause option’.Underlying the provisions of the various LEPs and IDOs, mentioned above, is another layer ofstatutory ‘control’ for tree preservation that applies across the Campbelltown LGA. This ‘layer’ isDevelopment Control Plan 114 - Trees (DCP 114).
