A Local Environmental Plan (LEP) is a legal document which controls land use and development in a local government area. A LEP contains information such as land use zones, building heights, heritage items and local conditions, such as landscaping.

The following LEPs currently apply:

Draft Georges River Local Environmental Plan 2020 (GRLEP 2020)

We have prepared the draft Georges River Local Environmental Plan 2020 (GRLEP 2020) which will replace the existing Kogarah and Hurstville LEPs. The GRLEP 2020 will make sure that:

• A single, consistent approach is applied to planning and development across the local government area; and
• New controls are introduced to give effect to the Planning Priorities and Actions of the South District Plan and Council’s Local Strategic Planning Statement 2040.

The Planning Proposal for the GRLEP 2020 is currently with the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment for gazettal.
