Future planning

Council is currently developing a new Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and Development Control Plan (DCP) for the Inner West, supported by a consolidated Developer Contributions Plan.

A new LEP and DCP for the Inner West

The new LEP and DCP will replace the planning frameworks used by the former Ashfield, Leichhardt and Marrickville councils, which are still in use and available for download:

Current local environmental plans (LEP)                Current development control plans (DCP)

As required by a 2018 update to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, Council has prepared and adopted a Local Strategic Planning Statement that will guide development and use of the LEP and DCP.
