Register of Clause 4.6 Variations to Development Standards
The Bogan Local Environmental Plan 2011 (LEP) sets out development standards that must be addressed in the lodgement and assessment of any development application within the local government area.
Clause 4.6 of the Local Environment Plan (LEP) provides a process by which an application can include a request to vary a development standard in the LEP.
Council has delegation from the NSW Department of Planning to assess and determine most variations.
Variations more than 10 per cent of a numerical development standard, or variations to a performance-based Development Standard must be determined by the elected Council.
Council is required to maintain a register of these Clause 4.6 variations to be submitted quarterly to the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE).
