Review of the EP&A Regulation: As part of our commitment to the ongoing improvement of the NSW planning system, the Department has been undertaking a review of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000. This review follows the 2018 changes to the 2000 Regulation’s parent Act, the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act).

While the EP&A Act provides the overarching framework for the planning system in NSW, the 2000 Regulation supports the day-to-day requirements of this system. The proposed regulation is now on exhibition until 22 September 2021. You can also contact the project team via email at regulation.review@planning.nsw.gov.au
