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 identifies the land to which the LEP applies under clause 1.3 of the LEP. This is usually the whole local government area, but certain land may be excluded. The LAP dataset describes the land to which a LEP applies. Land can either be included or excluded from the LEP. Land may be excluded from the LEP due to it being a Deferred Matter, or covered by a SEPP or other planning instrument. 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.

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.

This data identifies land that may be acquired by an authority of the State or land to which the owner-initiated acquisition provisions in Division 3 of Part 2 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 applies. Clause 5.1 of the LEP identifies the authority of the State that will be the relevant authority to acquire this land if the owner-initiated acquisition provisions are engaged. The LRA dataset identifies land that is to be acquired for a public purpose. The dataset identifies the purpose for which the land is to be acquired and the relevant authority. Public purposes can include roads, recreational and open spaces and national parks. 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.

This data identifies a heritage item or heritage conservation area. Heritage items and heritage conservation areas are also identified in Schedule 5 to the Local Environment Plan (LEP).. Developments relating to a heritage item or heritage conservation are subject to clause 5.10 of the LEP. The HER dataset identifies the location of: Heritage items (including archaeological sites) and Heritage conservation areas (including places of Aboriginal heritage significance). 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.

This spatial dataset identifies the maximum floor space ratio 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.

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 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 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 the maximum density of dwellings on certain land. Development for the purposes of residential accommodation on land is subject to an "Additional Local Provision" which can be found in Part 6 or Part 7 of the Local Environment Plan (LEP). The maximum density may be established as either a maximum number of dwellings in total for an area or a maximum ratio of dwellings to land size Contact data.broker@environment.nsw.gov.au for a data package (shapefile).
