STATE GOVERNMENT POLICIES

State Environmental Planning Policies

State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPPs) are prepared by the Minister for Planning and deal with issues that are significant to the State. They may be exhibited in draft form for public comment before being gazetted as a legal document.
 
For further information on SEPPs please see the NSW Department of Planning.

Regional Environmental Plans

Sydney Regional Environmental Plans (SREPs) are also prepared by the Minister for Planning and cover issues across the Sydney Region. SREPs that are deemed SEPPs provide the framework for detailed local planning by councils and are made by the Minister for Planning under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
 
The two SREPs which apply to the Auburn local government area are:
  • Sydney Regional Environmental Plan - Sydney Harbour Catchment 2005. This applies to most land within the Auburn local government area. The plan aims to protect, enhance and maintain the catchment, foreshores, waterways and islands of Sydney Harbour.
  • Sydney Regional Environmental Plan 24 – Homebush Bay Area (or SREP 24) applies to land in at Wentworth Point.

For further information on SREPs or SEPPs, please see the NSW Department of Planning website.
