About the planning proposal

The purpose of this planning proposal is to explain the intended effect of an amendment to the Woollahra LEP 2014. An LEP is a legal instrument that zones land and includes standards and controls to regulate the use and nature of development and the management of land. An LEP can also address matters of heritage conservation.

The proposed amendment to the Woollahra LEP 2014 involves the listing of a local heritage item in Schedule 5 of the Woollahra LEP 2014 and the associated heritage mapping. The property in question is known as Lapin House, 2C Dumaresq Road, Rose Bay (Lot A, DP 33652).

A detailed description of the heritage significance of the item is included in the supporting documents to the planning proposal, the heritage study and associated heritage inventory sheet.

Council has been authorised to use its delegation under section 3.36 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 to approve the LEP. The Department of Planning and Environment has classified this planning proposal as 'basic' as described in the Local Environmental Plan Making Guidelines (Department of Planning and Environment, 2022).
