Regional Environmental Plans

Regional environmental plans (REPs) cover issues such as urban growth, commercial centres, extractive industries, recreational needs, rural lands, and heritage and conservation. REPs are made under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and provide the framework for detailed local planning by councils. All REPs are exhibited in draft form for public comment, and all submissions are considered before a final plan is gazetted and becomes legal.

This list is intended as a summary guide only. Please refer to the relevant plan for full details. Please note that the link to the Legislation.nsw.gov.au site only provides the full text of state policies and regional plans.
