New
Exempt and Complying Development Provisions
State Environmental Planning Policy
(Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 (the Codes
SEPP) specifies exempt development under that policy.
The Codes SEPP has state wide application and commenced
on February 27, 2009. Consequently, from that date the
exempt development provisions (for the development types
covered by the Codes SEPP) in the Bega Valley Shire
Council Development Control Plan No.4 Exempt and
Complying Development will no longer apply.
Bushfire Control
Bush fire is a major challenge for the community. It has been a natural
part of our landscape for thousands of years and remains an ever-present
threat. All developments on land that is designated as bush fire prone
have a legal obligation to consider bush fire and meet the requirements
of Planning for Bush Fire Protection 2006 and AS3959 –
1999.
