This plan may be cited as Blacktown Local Environmental Plan 1988.

2 Aims, objectives etc

(1)  The aims of this plan are:

(a)  to repeal all local planning controls applying to Blacktown and replace them with a single local environmental plan,

(b)  to simplify and modernise the development controls applying to Blacktown,

(c)  to speed up the planning process in Blacktown by placing in the Council’s hands broader responsibility for environmental planning of local significance, and

(d)  to maintain the opportunity for public involvement and participation in environmental planning and assessment by using development control plans to supplement the broad controls in the plan.

(2)  The objectives of this plan are:

(b)  to allow for a variety of residential lifestyles,

(c)  to allow for a variety of business uses while consolidating existing commercial centres,

(d)  to enable a variety of uses in industrial areas while protecting the viability of existing retail centres,

(g)  to ensure space is provided for recreational activities and facilities,

(h)  to ensure land is available to accommodate all required special land uses in the most effective manner, and

(i)  to protect Blacktown’s environmental heritage.

(3)  The strategy by which the aims referred to in subclause (1) and the objectives referred to in subclause (2) are to be achieved is the controlling of the development of land to which this plan applies by reference to land-use zones and the controlling of particular types of development in those zones by reference to controls specified as applying only to those types of development or to a development of a certain type being carried out in those zones.
