Standards variations register

Takeaways

• Under the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 (clause 4.6) and other planning instruments, we have some flexibility when applying planning controls. When the applicant provides sufficient documentation with their development application, we can vary the development standards where reasonable.
• Variation requests we’ve received and the determinations we’ve made from 1 November 2023 are publicly available on the NSW Planning Portal’s Variation Register.
• We maintained our own register of variations prior to 1 November 2023. It covers variations from April 2008 to October 2023.
