Land use zoning details the type of land uses available that are permitted (with or without consent) or prohibited in each zone for all areas under the Local Environment Plan (LEP). Land use zoning in an LEP are grouped into the following broad categories: BUSINESS (B), ENVIRONMENT (E), INDUSTRIAL (IN), RESIDENTIAL (R), RECREATION (RE), RURAL (RU), SPECIAL (SP) and WATERWAYS (W). The LZN dataset shows the zoning of all areas designated under the LEP. Zones define the legally permitted and prohibited uses of a piece of land, determining if a lot can be used for commercial, industrial, residential or other purposes. In other words, it defines what can and cannot be built on a piece of land. The is a revision of the original 2006 dataset, metadata date 5 July 2016. The original GIS data was captured by local councils, DP&I and contractors and provided in accordance with the DP&I's Standard Requirements for GIS LEP data and Standard Technical Requirements for LEP maps. Before the LEP is notified on the NSW Legislation website, the mapping is checked by DP&I and the Parliamentary Council's Office to ensure that it is consistent with these standards. After the LEP is notified, the GIS data is quality controlled using an ISO 9001-Quality-Certified, Quality Management System and incorporated into the Statewide dataset. The Land Application data relates directly to and adopts the accuracy of its reference dataset, Land and Property Information DCDB. The GIS data may be subject to change as a part of quality control, or if the LEP is amended. Please confirm dates of respective features before use as this dataset has a large temporal extent.

This spatial dataset identifies the boundaries of land to which a NSW Standard Instrument Local Environmental Plan applies including areas which may be excluded or deferred as designated by the relevant NSW environmental planning instrument (EPI) under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. Contact data.broker@environment.nsw.gov.au for a data package (shapefile).

This spatial dataset identifies environmentally sensitive lands that are subject to "Additional Local Provisions" found in Part 6 (or Part 7) of the Local Environment Plan. Local provisions help to augment existing zoning in order to ensure that special environmental features are considered. Contact data.broker@environment.nsw.gov.au for a data package (shapefile)

This spatial dataset identifies land where a variety of planning requirements apply as found in Part 5 'Miscellaneous provisions', or Part 6 'Additional Local Provisions', of the relevant NSW environmental planning instrument (EPI). The specific EPI which defines the planning requirement is described in the dataset and this EPI can be investigated on the NSW legislation website Contact data.broker@environment.nsw.gov.au for a data package (shapefile)

This Spatial dataset shows land that has been identified as the Drinking Water Catchment. Development in the Drinking water catchment land must adhere to local provisions clause within the LEP or per the State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Drinking Water Catchment) 2011 where SEPP applies.

This spatial dataset identifies the minimum lot size that is permitted on land as designated by the relevant NSW environmental planning instrument (EPI) under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The specific EPI which defines the planning requirement is described in the attribute field LEP_Name. The EPI can be viewed on the NSW legislation website: www.legislation.nsw.gov.au Contact data.broker@environment.nsw.gov.au for a data package (shapefile).

This spatial dataset identifies land use zones and the type of land uses that are permitted (with or without consent) or prohibited in each zone on any given land as designated by the relevant NSW environmental planning instrument (EPI) under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. Land use zones are grouped into the following broad categories: BUSINESS (B), ENVIRONMENT (E), INDUSTRIAL (IN), RESIDENTIAL (R), RECREATION (RE), RURAL (RU), SPECIAL (SP) and WATERWAYS (W). The specific EPI which defines the planning requirement is described in the attribute field EPI_Name. The EPI can be viewed on the NSW legislation website: www.legislation.nsw.gov.au Contact data.broker@environment.nsw.gov.au for a data package (shapefile and geodatabase).

This spatial dataset identifies public land classified or reclassified as either 'operational land' or 'community land' as designated by the relevant NSW environmental planning instrument (EPI). The specific EPI which defines the planning requirement is described in the dataset and this EPI can be investigated on the NSW legislation website Contact data.broker@environment.nsw.gov.au for a data package (shapefile).

This spatial dataset identifies the land where development implications exist due to the presence of terrestrial biodiversity as designated by the relevant NSW environmental planning instrument. The data identifies areas of biodiversity in NSW. Contact data.broker@environment.nsw.gov.au for a data package (shapefile)
