Public exhibition of NSW Government Employment Zones Reform

Changes to Business and Industrial Zones

The Department of Planning and Environment is currently exhibiting changes to existing Business and Industrial zones across NSW. This affects all land zoned for business and industrial purposes across the Coffs Harbour LGA, as well as across all NSW.  The exhibition is being held on the Department’s Planning Portal for 6 weeks from 31 May 2022 to 12 July 2022.

The Department has asked all councils in NSW to place this information on their own websites, to direct landowner attention towards the Department's exhibition.

The Department has worked closely with each council to ensure that LEPs are amended, consistent with the intent of the reform, while also ensuring the land-use planning outcomes are locally appropriate. After the exhibition the Department will be working with councils to finalise implementation ahead of the new zones coming into force on 1 December 2022.

To view the detail of the exhibition and make a submission please visit the Department’s Planning Portal and Employment Zones Reform webpage for general information on the reform process. The Department has also prepared some Frequently Asked Questions.

If you have any questions, please contact the Department of Planning and Environment on 1300 420 596 or by email at employment.zones@planning.nsw.gov.au
