Part 1 Introduction
1 Name of this plan
This plan is called Penrith Local Environmental Plan 1996 (Industrial Land).
2 Aims and objectives of this plan
(1) The aims of this plan are:(a) to encourage a broad range of industrial land uses which will promote both the economic and employment growth of the City of Penrith, and(b) to promote development which is consistent with the council’s vision for the City of Penrith contained in its strategic management plan, namely one of a harmony of urban and rural qualities with a strong commitment to environmental protection and enhancement, and(c) to promote development which observes responsible and environmentally sound management practices to minimise any adverse environmental impact of that development on surrounding localities.(2) The objectives of this plan are:(a) to consolidate and rationalise planning controls relating to industrial land, into a single plan, and(b) to present the planning controls in a clear manner, and(c) to provide a planning framework which allows development control plans to supplement the controls embodied in this plan, and(d) to require development to be assessed in accordance with and observe sound environmental planning principles, and(e) to preserve the amenity of any adjacent residential communities, and(f) to ensure that development of land to which this plan applies does not significantly affect the function, efficiency and safety of the road network, particularly Castlereagh Road, the Great Western Highway, Mulgoa Road and Parker Street, and(g) to promote the efficient development of industrial land, and(h) to ensure the orderly provision of services and infrastructure to meet the needs of development, and(i) to promote the development of an attractive and safe work place environment, and(j) to restrict certain development to particular locations, where the development is likely to have an adverse environmental effect on adjoining land, and(k) to ensure that outdoor advertising:(i) conveys advertisers’ messages and images while complementing and conforming to both the building on which it is displayed and the character of the locality, and(ii) does not adversely affect the locality in terms of appearance, size, illumination or overshadowing or in any other way, and(iii) does not lead to visual clutter through the proliferation of signs, and(l) to ensure that land considered by the council as likely to have been contaminated, or with a known history of contamination, is fully assessed and the need or otherwise for its remediation established, and(m) to rationalise industry zone boundaries by zoning certain small areas of adjacent residential, rural, open space and special uses zoned land to industry.(3) The council must consider the aims and objectives of this plan in determining development applications. This plan also includes objectives for each zone, the importance of which is explained in Part 2.cl 2: Am 28.11.2003.
