SEPP

Environmental Planning was introduced in Australia after the United Nations Conference on Human Environment was held in Stockholm, Sweden 1972. At this conference the United Nations introduced a Declaration of the United Nations Conference on Human Environment. One of the key principles developed regarding planning and human activity was Principle 13 which states: In order to achieve a more rational management of resources and thus to improve the environment, States should adopt an integrated and coordinated approach to their development planning so as to ensure that development is compatible with the need to protect and improve environment for the benefit of their population This resulted in the development of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 which introduced State Environmental Planning Policy. Section 37 of the Act states that the Governor many make Environmental Planning Instruments for the purpose of State Environmental Planning and that these instruments are to be called State Environmental Planning Policy or SEPP, that a planning instruments may be made with respect to any matter that is significant to State or Regional Planning. Under the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulations 2000 the governments, State and Local, are required to provide a balance of land uses allowing for a balance of developments to benefit the good of the community. If a property is affected or listed under a SEPP then this may give the land greater usage options that are not permitted by the LEP as the SEPPs have hierarchy over the LEPs. Here is a list of the SEPPs that may affect the council and residents of the Local Government Area of the City of Canterbury. SEPP No 1 Development Standards SEPP No 2 Development without consent and Miscellaneous Exempt and Complying Development SEPP No 6 Number of Storeys in a Building SEPP No 19 Bushland in Urban Areas SEPP No 21 Caravan Parks SEPP No 22 Shops and Commercial Premises SEPP No 26 Littoral Rainforests
