Local Strategic Planning Statement

Our Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) 2020 sets out Council’s land use vision, planning principles, priorities, and actions until 2040. It also outlines the desired future direction for housing, employment, transport, recreation, environment and infrastructure for North Sydney LGA.

The LSPS guides the content of the North Sydney Local Environmental Plan (NSLEP) and Council’s consideration and determination of any proposed changes to the development standards under the NSLEP (via Planning Proposals). It also guides our Development Control Plan (DCP).

The LSPS must be approved by the Greater Sydney Commission and be consistent with their Greater Sydney Regional Plan (A Metropolis of Three Cities) and North District Plan, and provide a clear link between the key strategic priorities identified at the regional and district level, and the local and neighbourhood level.

Please note, a reference to Environment Protection zones E1, E2, E3 or E4 in the LSPS is now a reference to a Conservation zone C1, C2, C3 or C4. For further information please see Standard Instrument (LEPs) Amendment (Land Use Zones) Order 2021.
