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.

Planning controls, what are they?

A Local Environmental Plan is the principal legal document for controlling development at the council level. The zoning provisions establish permissibility of uses and standards regulate the extent of development. They are prepared by councils and approved by the Minister for Planning after public exhibition.

A Development Control Plan is a detailed guideline that illustrates the controls that apply to a particular type of development or in a particular area. A Development Control Plan refines or supplements a regional environmental plan or local environmental plan and is made according to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979

A Section 94 Contributions Plan is a document which details council’s policy of obtaining development contributions as a means of funding local infrastructure and services that are required as a result of new development. These contributions are imposed as a condition of development consent under the provisions of section 94 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

A Developer Servicing Plan is a document which details the upfront charges levied to recover part of the infrastructure costs incurred in servicing new development or additions/changes to existing development.
