I want to explore the Conservation Zones Review

Step 2

View the ‘Proposed changes’ map and key to see if either a conservation zone is proposed, or a change is proposed.

Tip: Click on the ‘Accessibility’ button to see this map with higher contrast colours.

Step 3

Read the information to the right of the map to see the data that informed the Conservation Zones Review for the selected property. This includes:

• The Current LEP, Current zone and Proposed zone (see Acronyms)

• The Review recommendation to see the outcome of the Conservation Zones Review. This is based on the Land considered and the Zoning methodology that was applied.

• The List of identified criteria and any Thresholds or exceptions found on the site (see Criteria definitions and see the contributing maps from Step 7).

Tip: If you are on mobile, the information is below the map.

Tip: The maps that informed the criteria and thresholds can be viewed from Step 7.

Tip: We’re seeking feedback on the Zoning methodology and maps that informed the review.

Step 4

Scroll down the page or select Check changes to see any proposed changes in land use.

Tip: Look at the key and links underneath the table.

Step 5

Select the button Compare zones if you wish to see maps that compare the current versus the proposed future zones.

Tip: go >>> BACK TO YOUR SAY to see Frequently Asked Questions and further supporting documentation.

Step 6

Select the button Split zones to see recommendations for any zones that currently have more than one zone on site.

Tip: this applies to only a small number of sites across the LGA.
