Overview
Who is involved?
Eurobodalla Shire Council aims to protect and enhance the natural and built heritage of Eurobodalla by managing development using Local and State Government legislation, and Council’s own policies. Land use planning and development in Eurobodalla Shire is administered by Eurobodalla Shire Council and the NSW Government.
The Planning Department at Council consists of two sections. The Strategic Planning Section develops land use plans, policies and strategies which together with State requirements, set out the requirements against which development applications are assessed. The Development Application Section reviews development applications.
Council’s Building Team, also known as Eurocertifiers, offers a wide range of advisory services and provides development consents, construction certificates, reviews complying development and conducts compliance inspections. Onsite inspections are available seven days a week through Eurocertifiers.
Co-ordination of policy development within Council and with government agencies enables greater efficiencies and effectiveness in pursuing land use goals. The public is involved by raising issues through their elected representatives and participating in the formulation and review of land use controls and planning initiatives.
How does it work?
Land use within the Shire is primarily guided by the Eurobodalla Rural Local Environmental Plan 1987 and Eurobodalla Urban Local Environmental Plan 1999 (LEPs). Land use plans project the future path of land use development. Development Control Plans (DCPs) further the objectives of the LEPs by providing detailed land use requirements and guidelines.
What is changing?
Eurobodalla Shire Council is currently conducting reviews of its LEPs and DCPs. The draft of the LEP for Eurobodalla is anticipated to be exhibited for public comment toward in 2008. For more on these changes, please see the LEP and DCP Review Tab.
