Introduction
Additional provisions, also commonly referred to as ‘local provisions’ or ’model local clauses’ are local clauses that have been settled by the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office which address common topics raised by councils in their standard instrument LEP preparation. The use of such settled clauses will reduce the time required to prepare an exhibition standard instrument LEP.
It should be noted that as plans are gazetted and tested, it is likely the example model local clauses will get refined, and as such they are subject to change. The Department will inform councils of any changes and additions to model local clauses, including via our Enews service. Alternatively, councils can check this page for regular updates.
Where councils would like to use one or more of the examples provided, but wish to make some minor alterations to suit their specific circumstances, these may be considered with the appropriate justification, although it is recommended that they be adopted 'as is' wherever possible. For further information please contact your relevant regional office.
The Director-General of the Department wrote to all councils introducing the first model clauses 
in June 2009.
The Director–General of the Department informed councils that the second round of model clauses had been finalised in December 2010. The summary Table of submissions received during the public exhibition and the DoP response can be viewed here.
