LEP - Local Environment Plan

The local environment plan (LEP) is not subject to strict rules. Its task is to convince the council and the state government department (and eventually the minister) that the zoning etc. needs to be altered to allow the development to go ahead. This comprehensive LEP format applies the same format to each discipline. They all think that their particular science makes them unique, but, if you can convince them to adopt this simple model, it makes the planner's job easier, and therefore increases the likelihood of the success of the instrument.
