Employment Zones Reform

The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) is reforming the employment focused zones under the Standard Instrument Principal Local Environmental Plan (2006) (SI LEP).

The Minister for Planning Rob Stokes announced a draft employment zones framework which is now on public exhibition. The new framework has fewer zones, more allowable uses and greater flexibility.

Council surveys and workshops, online stakeholder webinar and consultation with industry and government agencies have informed the proposed employment zones framework outlined in the Position Paper.

Other supporting documents on exhibition include a Draft Standard Instrument Principal LEP Amendment Order, Employment Zones Implementation Plan and Proposed Land Use Matrix.

The proposed employment zones framework is on public exhibition until 30 June 2021.
