Frequently Asked Questions

A planning proposal is a document that explains the intended outcome of a proposed amendment to a local environmental plan and sets out the justification for making that amendment.

The preparation of a planning proposal is only the first step in preparing an amendment to Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan 2010 (the LEP).

A planning proposal usually seeks to change the current zoning of the land or the LEP provisions to allow a type of development that is currently prohibited. Council needs to carefully consider the suitability of the proposed change including submissions from the public and relevant agencies. After a planning proposal is supported and if the amendment is made, other steps occur such as lodgement of a development application.

Further information regarding planning proposals can be obtained from the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s website at www.planning.nsw.gov.au.

The process that a planning proposal follows is outlined on Council's website.

The planning proposal and other supporting documentation can be viewed on this page. You can access these documents from the 'Document Library' located on the right hand side of this page.

Alternatively, you can view them between 9:00am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday at Council’s Administration Office, 243 Baylis Street, Wagga Wagga.

The Gateway Determination is a key assessment point for the planning proposal and is undertaken by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure. DPHI will review the strategic and site-specific merit of a proposal and determine whether the planning proposal should proceed. The Gateway Determination is a checkpoint in the process to ensure that planning proposals without strategic merit are stopped before resources are committed.

Council staff will consider the outcomes of the public exhibition of the Planning Proposal in deciding whether to recommend the finalisation of the planning proposal.

An authority responsible for the governance of a planning proposal, including its preparation and submission to the Department for a Gateway Determination, satisfying the conditions of a Gateway Determination, public exhibition and its finalisation (including submission to the Department for finalisation, where required).

For this planning proposal, Council is the Planning Proposal Authority (PPA).

A planning proposal is ultimately assessed by the local plan-making authority, after exhibition and once submissions have been received. The authority may be the Minister for Planning (or the minister’s delegate) or local council, depending on the type of LEP change. The local plan-making authority then makes a determination (decision).

Council has been authorised to exercise the functions of the local plan-making authority for this planning proposal.

Existing additional permitted uses can be found in Schedule 1 of the Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan.
