Shellharbour Local Environmental Plan's Business and Industrial Zones are being replaced by the new Employment Zones on 26 April 2023

Employment zones commence within Shellharbour Local Environmental Plan 2013 on 26 April 2023. From 26 April 2023, in a document (other than a state environmental planning policy) a reference to a former zone under an environmental planning instrument is taken to include a reference to a new zone under the environmental planning instrument. 

To see how all Business and Industrial zoned land (B & I zones) is being replaced by Employment zoned land (E zones) please refer to the table below:

NB: Document means an Act, statutory or other instrument, contract or agreement, and includes a document issued or made under or for the purposes of an Act or statutory or other instrument.

Changes to Gross Floor Area calculations

From 1 June 2021 Council will apply new standards when calculating Gross Floor Area (GFA). A dwelling's GFA is used to determine the Floor Space Ratio (FSR), which ensures that the size of buildings is appropriate for the land size and compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood.

Council has developed a Let's Chat page to help you understand the changes and ask questions of our Planning team.
