(iii) contributes to industrial employment opportunities in Cowra, and
(iv) ensures that Cowra central business district remains the primary commercial centre for the wider region, and
(v) provides high quality open space to meet a wide range of active and passive recreational needs, and
(vi) provides for rural residential living opportunities in appropriately serviced locations close to the Cowra township, and
(vii) allows for the orderly growth of land uses, while minimising conflict between land uses within the zone and land uses within adjoining zones, in a manner that minimises adverse environmental impacts, and
(viii) allows for the protection and enhancement of places and buildings of environmental, archaeological, cultural or heritage significance, including relics and Aboriginal places of heritage significance, and
(ix) protects and enhances environmentally sensitive natural resources.
This Plan applies to the land identified on the Land Application Map.
The Dictionary at the end of this Plan defines words and expressions for the purposes of this Plan.
Notes in this Plan are provided for guidance and do not form part of this Plan.
The consent authority for the purposes of this Plan is (subject to the Act) the Council.
A reference in this Plan to a named map adopted by this Plan is a reference to a map by that name—
(a) approved by the local plan-making authority when the map is adopted, and
(b) as amended or replaced from time to time by maps declared by environmental planning instruments to amend or replace that map, and approved by the local plan-making authority when the instruments are made.
(Repealed)
Any 2 or more named maps may be combined into a single map. In that case, a reference in this Plan to any such named map is a reference to the relevant part or aspect of the single map.
Any such maps are to be kept and made available for public access in accordance with arrangements approved by the Minister.
For the purposes of this Plan, a map may be in, and may be kept and made available in, electronic or paper form, or both.
The maps adopted by this Plan are to be made available on the NSW Planning Portal. Requirements relating to the maps are set out in the documents entitled Standard technical requirements for LEP maps and Standard requirements for LEP GIS data which are available on the website of the Department of Planning and Environment.
All local environmental plans and deemed environmental planning instruments applying only to the land to which this Plan applies are repealed.
The following local environmental plans are repealed under this provision—
• Cowra Local Environmental Plan 1990
All local environmental plans and deemed environmental planning instruments applying to the land to which this Plan applies and to other land cease to apply to the land to which this Plan applies.
A development application in relation to land to which this plan applies that is made, but not finally determined, before the commencement of this plan must be determined as if this plan had not commenced.
An amendment made to this plan by Mosman Local Environmental Plan Amendment (Exempt and Complying Development Codes and Housing—Dual Occupancies) 2025 does not apply to a development application made, but not finally determined, before the commencement of the amendment.
However, under the Act, Division 3.5, a development application may be made, and the consent authority may consider the application, for consent to carry out development that may only be carried out if the environmental planning instrument applying to the relevant development is appropriately amended or if a new instrument, including an appropriate principal environmental planning instrument, is made. The Act, Division 3.5 requires public notice of the development application and the draft environmental planning instrument allowing the development at the same time, or as closely together as is practicable.
This Plan is subject to the provisions of any State environmental planning policy that prevails over this Plan as provided by section 3.28 of the Act.
The following State environmental planning policies (or provisions) do not apply to the land to which this Plan applies—
For the purpose of enabling development on land in any zone to be carried out in accordance with this Plan or with a consent granted under the Act, any agreement, covenant or other similar instrument that restricts the carrying out of that development does not apply to the extent necessary to serve that purpose.
This clause does not apply—
(a) to a covenant imposed by the Council or that the Council requires to be imposed, or
(b) to any relevant instrument within the meaning of section 13.4 of the Crown Land Management Act 2016, or
(c) to any conservation agreement within the meaning of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974, or
(d) to any Trust agreement within the meaning of the Nature Conservation Trust Act 2001, or
(e) to any property vegetation plan within the meaning of the Native Vegetation Act 2003, or
(f) to any biobanking agreement within the meaning of Part 7A of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, or
(g) to any planning agreement within the meaning of Subdivision 2 of Division 7.1 of the Act.
This clause does not affect the rights or interests of any public authority under any registered instrument.
Under section 3.16 of the Act, the Governor, before the making of this clause, approved of subclauses (1)–(3).
The land use zones under this Plan are as follows—
• Rural Zones RU1 Primary Production
RU3 Forestry
RU4 Primary Production Small Lots
RU5 Village
• Residential Zones R1 General Residential
R5 Large Lot Residential
• Employment Zones E1 Local Centre
E3 Productivity Support
E4 General Industrial
• Special Purpose Zones SP2 Infrastructure
SP3 Tourist
• Recreation Zones RE1 Public Recreation
RE2 Private Recreation
• Conservation Zones C1 National Parks and Nature Reserves
C2 Environmental Conservation
C3 Environmental Management
• Waterway Zones W2 Recreational Waterways
For the purposes of this Plan, land is within the zones shown on the Land Zoning Map.
The Land Use Table at the end of this Part specifies for each zone—
(a) the objectives for development, and
(b) development that may be carried out without development consent, and
(c) development that may be carried out only with development consent, and
(d) development that is prohibited.
The consent authority must have regard to the objectives for development in a zone when determining a development application in respect of land within the zone.
In the Land Use Table at the end of this Part—
(a) a reference to a type of building or other thing is a reference to development for the purposes of that type of building or other thing, and
(b) a reference to a type of building or other thing does not include (despite any definition in this Plan) a reference to a type of building or other thing referred to separately in the Land Use Table in relation to the same zone.
This clause is subject to the other provisions of this Plan.
Schedule 1 sets out additional permitted uses for particular land.
Schedule 2 sets out exempt development (which is generally exempt from both Parts 4 and 5 of the Act). Development in the land use table that may be carried out without consent is nevertheless subject to the environmental assessment and approval requirements of Part 5 of the Act.
Schedule 3 sets out complying development (for which a complying development certificate may be issued as an alternative to obtaining development consent).
Clause 2.6 requires consent for subdivision of land.
Part 5 contains other provisions which require consent for particular development.
Development may be carried out on unzoned land only with development consent.
In deciding whether to grant development consent, the consent authority—
(a) must consider whether the development will impact on adjoining zoned land and, if so, consider the objectives for development in the zones of the adjoining land, and
(b) must be satisfied that the development is appropriate and is compatible with permissible land uses in any such adjoining land.
Development on particular land that is described or referred to in Schedule 1 may be carried out—
(a) with development consent, or
(b) if the Schedule so provides—without development consent,
in accordance with the conditions (if any) specified in that Schedule in relation to that development.
This clause has effect despite anything to the contrary in the Land Use Table or other provision of this Plan.
Land to which this Plan applies may be subdivided, but only with development consent.
If a subdivision is specified as
Part 6 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying
Development Codes) 2008 provides that the strata subdivision of a building in certain circumstances is
Development consent must not be granted for the subdivision of land on which a secondary dwelling is situated if the subdivision would result in the principal dwelling and the secondary dwelling being situated on separate lots, unless the resulting lots are not less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land.
The definition of
The demolition of a building or work may be carried out only with development consent.
If the demolition of a building or work is identified in an applicable environmental planning instrument, such as this Plan or State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, as exempt development, the Act enables it to be carried out without development consent.
The objective of this clause is to provide for the temporary use of land if the use does not compromise future development of the land, or have detrimental economic, social, amenity or environmental effects on the land.
Despite any other provision of this Plan, development consent may be granted for development on land in any zone for a temporary use for a maximum period of 52 days (whether or not consecutive days) in any period of 12 months.
Development consent must not be granted unless the consent authority is satisfied that—
(a) the temporary use will not prejudice the subsequent carrying out of development on the land in accordance with this Plan and any other applicable environmental planning instrument, and
(b) the temporary use will not adversely impact on any adjoining land or the amenity of the neighbourhood, and
(c) the temporary use and location of any structures related to the use will not adversely impact on environmental attributes or features of the land, or increase the risk of natural hazards that may affect the land, and
(d) at the end of the temporary use period the land will, as far as is practicable, be restored to the condition in which it was before the commencement of the use.
Despite subclause (2), the temporary use of a dwelling as a sales office for a new release area or a new housing estate may exceed the maximum number of days specified in that subclause.
Subclause (3) (d) does not apply to the temporary use of a dwelling as a sales office mentioned in subclause (4).
Canal estate development is prohibited on land to which this Plan applies.
In this Plan,
(a) a constructed canal, or other waterway or waterbody, that—
(i) is inundated by surface water or groundwater movement, or
(ii) drains to a waterway or waterbody by surface water or groundwater movement, and
(b) the erection of a dwelling, and
(c) one or both of the following—
(i) the use of fill material to raise the level of all or part of the land on which the dwelling will be erected to comply with requirements for residential development in the flood planning area,
(ii) excavation to create a waterway.
Canal estate development does not include development for the purposes of drainage or the supply or treatment of water if the development is—
(a) carried out by or with the authority of a person or body responsible for the drainage, supply or treatment, and
(b) limited to the minimum reasonable size and capacity.

(b) must not, if it relates to an existing building, cause the building to contravene the Building Code of Australia, and
(c) must not be designated development, and
(d) must not be carried out on land that comprises, or on which there is, an item that is listed on the State Heritage Register under the Heritage Act 1977 or that is subject to an interim heritage order under the Heritage Act 1977.
Development that relates to an existing building that is classified under the Building Code of Australia as class 1b or class 2–9 is exempt development only if—
(a) the building has a current fire safety certificate or fire safety statement, or
(b) no fire safety measures are currently implemented, required or proposed for the building.
To be exempt development, the development must—
(a) be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, if applicable, and
(b) not involve the removal, pruning or other clearing of vegetation that requires a permit, development consent or other approval unless it is undertaken in accordance with a permit, development consent or other approval.

A heading to an item in Schedule 2 is part of that Schedule.
The objective of this clause is to identify development as complying development.
Development specified in Part 1 of Schedule 3 that is carried out in compliance with—
(a) the development standards specified in relation to that development, and
(b) the requirements of this Part,
is complying development.
See also clause 5.8 (3) which provides that the conversion of fire alarms is complying development in certain circumstances.
To be complying development, the development must—

Land in a zone to which this clause applies may, with development consent, be subdivided for the purpose of primary production to create a lot of a size that is less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land.
However, such a lot cannot be created if an existing dwelling would, as the result of the subdivision, be situated on the lot.
A dwelling cannot be erected on such a lot.
A dwelling includes a rural worker’s dwelling (see definition of that term in the Dictionary).
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to provide flexibility in the application of standards for subdivision for the purpose of intensive livestock agriculture or intensive plant agriculture in certain rural zones,
(b) to encourage sustainable intensive livestock agriculture and intensive plant agriculture,
(c) to minimise unplanned rural residential development.
This clause applies to the following rural zones—
(a) Zone RU1 Primary Production,
(b) Zone RU4 Primary Production Small Lots.
Land in a zone to which this clause applies may, with development consent, be subdivided for the purpose of intensive livestock agriculture or intensive plant agriculture to create a lot of a size that is less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land.
However, development consent must not be granted to such a subdivision if an existing dwelling house would, as a result of the subdivision, be situated on a lot created by the subdivision unless the consent authority is satisfied that—
(a) the lot will have an area of at least 40 hectares, and
(b) the lot has, or arrangements have been made for the lot to be provided with, a lawful and sustainable water supply that is or will be adequate for the use of the land for the purpose of intensive livestock agriculture or intensive plant agriculture, and

(d) the dwelling house is required to support the carrying out of such a purpose.
Development consent may be granted for the erection of a dwelling house on a lot created by a subdivision under this clause or on an existing lot of any size that only contains land in a zone to which this clause applies if the consent authority is satisfied that—
(a) the lot complies with subclause (4) (a) and (b), and
(b) the lot is suitable for, and is being used for, the purpose of intensive livestock agriculture or intensive plant agriculture, and
(c) the dwelling house is required to support the carrying out of that purpose.
Note. State Environmental Planning Policy (Rural Lands) 2008 and Assessing Intensive Plant Agriculture Developments (published by the Department of Primary Industries) set out other relevant issues for the consideration of consent authorities when assessing development applications for intensive plant agriculture.
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to minimise unplanned rural residential development,
(b) to enable the replacement of lawfully erected dwelling houses in certain rural and conservation zones.
This clause applies to land in the following zones—
(a) Zone RU1 Primary Production,
(b) Zone RU4 Primary Production Small Lots,
(c) Zone C3 Environmental Management.
Development consent must not be granted for the erection of a dwelling house on land to which this clause applies unless the land—
(a) is a lot that is at least the minimum lot size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land, or
(b) is a lot created under an environmental planning instrument before this Plan commenced and on which the erection of a dwelling house was permissible immediately before that commencement, or
(c) is a lot resulting from a subdivision for which development consent (or equivalent) was granted before this Plan commenced and on which the erection of a dwelling house would have been permissible if the plan of subdivision had been registered before that commencement, or
(d) is an existing holding, or
(e) is a lot that is a dwelling opportunity, but only if no other dwelling has been erected on that lot, or
(f) would have been a lot or a holding referred to in paragraph (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) had it not been affected by—
(i) a minor realignment of its boundaries that did not create an additional lot, or
(ii) a subdivision creating or widening a public road or public reserve or for another public purpose,
(iii) a consolidation with an adjoining public road or public reserve or for another public purpose.
A dwelling cannot be erected on a lot created under clause 9 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Rural Lands) 2008 or clause 4.2.
Development consent must not be granted under subclause (3) unless—
(a) no dwelling house has been erected on the land, and
(b) if a development application has been made for development for the purpose of a dwelling house on the land—the application has been refused or it was withdrawn before it was determined, and
(c) if development consent has been granted in relation to such an application—the consent has been surrendered or it has lapsed.
Development consent may be granted for the erection of a dwelling house on land to which this clause applies if there is a lawfully erected dwelling house on the land and the dwelling house to be erected is intended only to replace the existing dwelling house.
Land ceases to be a dwelling opportunity for the purposes of subclause (3) (e) if an application for development consent referred to in that subclause is not made in relation to that land before 5 years after the date of commencement of this Plan.
In this clause—
(a) was a holding on 23 November 1990, and
(b) is a holding at the time an application for development consent referred to in subclause (3) is lodged,
whether or not there has been a change in the ownership of the holding since 23 November 1990.
The owner in whose ownership all the land is at the time the application is lodged need not be the same person as the owner in whose ownership all the land was on the stated date.
The objective of this clause is to ensure the provision of adequate accommodation for employees of existing agriculture or rural industries.
Development consent must not be granted to the erection of a rural worker’s dwelling on land in Zone RU1 Primary Production, unless the consent authority is satisfied that—
(a) the development will be on the same lot as an existing lawfully erected dwelling house, and
(b) the development will not impair the use of the land for agriculture or rural industries, and
(c) the agriculture or rural industry being carried out on the land has a demonstrated economic capacity to support the ongoing employment of rural workers, and
(d) the development is necessary considering the nature of the agriculture or rural industry land use lawfully occurring on the land or as a result of the remote or isolated location of the land.

The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to provide an appropriate degree of flexibility in applying certain development standards to particular development,
(b) to achieve better outcomes for and from development by allowing flexibility in particular circumstances.
Development consent may, subject to this clause, be granted for development even though the development would contravene a development standard imposed by this or any other environmental planning instrument. However, this clause does not apply to a development standard that is expressly excluded from the operation of this clause.
Development consent must not be granted to development that contravenes a development standard unless the consent authority is satisfied the applicant has demonstrated that—
(a) compliance with the development standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances, and
(b) there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify the contravention of the development standard.
The Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021 requires a development application for development that proposes to contravene a development standard to be accompanied by a document setting out the grounds on which the applicant seeks to demonstrate the matters in paragraphs (a) and (b).
The consent authority must keep a record of its assessment carried out under subclause (3).
(Repealed)
Development consent must not be granted under this clause for a subdivision of land in Zone RU1 Primary Production, Zone RU2 Rural Landscape, Zone RU3 Forestry, Zone RU4 Primary Production Small Lots, Zone RU6 Transition, Zone R5 Large Lot Residential, Zone C2 Environmental Conservation, Zone C3 Environmental Management or Zone C4 Environmental Living if—
(a) the subdivision will result in 2 or more lots of less than the minimum area specified for such lots by a development standard, or
(b) the subdivision will result in at least one lot that is less than 90% of the minimum area specified for such a lot by a development standard.
(Repealed)
This clause does not allow development consent to be granted for development that would contravene any of the following—
(a) a development standard for complying development,
(b) a development standard that arises, under the regulations under the Act, in connection with a commitment set out in a BASIX certificate for a building to which State Environmental Planning Policy (Building Sustainability Index: BASIX) 2004 applies or for the land on which such a building is situated,
(c) clause 5.4,
(caa) clause 5.5,
(ca) clause 6.1 or 6.2.
The objective of this clause is to identify, for the purposes of section 3.15 of the Act, the authority of the State that will be the relevant authority to acquire land reserved for certain public purposes if the land is required to be acquired under Division 3 of Part 2 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act
1991 (
If the landholder will suffer hardship if there is any delay in the land being acquired by the relevant authority, section 23 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 requires the authority to acquire the land.
The authority of the State that will be the relevant authority to acquire land, if the land is required to be acquired under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions, is the authority of the State specified below in relation to the land shown on the Land Reservation Acquisition Map (or, if an authority of the State is not specified in relation to land required to be so acquired, the authority designated or determined under those provisions).
Type of land shown on Map | Authority of the State |
Zone RE1 Public Recreation and marked “Local open space” | Council |
Zone RE1 Public Recreation and marked “Regional open space” | The corporation constituted under section 2.5 of the Act |
Zone SP2 Infrastructure and marked “Classified road” | Transport for NSW |
Zone C1 National Parks and Nature Reserves and marked “National Park” | Minister administering the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 |
If land, other than land specified in the Table to subclause (2), is required to be acquired under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions, the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure is required to take action to enable the designation of the acquiring authority under this clause. Pending the designation of the acquiring authority for that land, the acquiring authority is to be the authority determined by order of the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure (see section 21 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991).
Development on land acquired by an authority of the State under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions may, before it is used for the purpose for which it is reserved, be carried out, with development consent, for any purpose.
The objective of this clause is to enable the Council to classify or reclassify public land as “operational land” or “community land” in accordance with Part 2 of Chapter 6 of the Local Government Act 1993.
Under the Local Government Act 1993, “public land” is generally land vested in or under the control of a council (other than roads and certain Crown land). The classification or reclassification of public land may also be made by a resolution of the Council under section 31, 32 or 33 of the Local Government Act 1993. Section 30 of that Act enables this Plan to discharge trusts on which public reserves are held if the land is reclassified under this Plan as operational land.
The public land described in Part 1 or Part 2 of Schedule 4 is classified, or reclassified, as operational land for the purposes of the Local Government Act 1993.
The public land described in Part 3 of Schedule 4 is classified, or reclassified, as community land for the purposes of the Local Government Act 1993.
The public land described in Part 1 of Schedule 4—
(a) does not cease to be a public reserve to the extent (if any) that it is a public reserve, and
(b) continues to be affected by any trusts, estates, interests, dedications, conditions, restrictions or covenants that affected the land before its classification, or reclassification, as operational land.
The public land described in Part 2 of Schedule 4, to the extent (if any) that it is a public reserve, ceases to be a public reserve when the description of the land is inserted into that Part and is discharged from all trusts, estates, interests, dedications, conditions, restrictions and covenants affecting the land or any part of the land, except—
(a) those (if any) specified for the land in Column 3 of Part 2 of Schedule 4, and
(b) any reservations that except land out of the Crown grant relating to the land, and
(c) reservations of minerals (within the meaning of the Crown Land Management Act 2016).
In accordance with section 30 (2) of the Local Government Act 1993, the approval of the Governor to subclause (5) applying to the public land concerned is required before the description of the land is inserted in Part 2 of Schedule 4.
The objective of this clause is to provide flexibility where the investigation of a site and its surroundings reveals that a use allowed on the other side of a zone boundary would enable a more logical and appropriate development of the site and be compatible with the planning objectives and land uses for the adjoining zone.
This clause applies to so much of any land that is within the relevant distance of a boundary between any 2 zones. The relevant distance is 100 metres.
This clause does not apply to—
(a) land in Zone RE1 Public Recreation, Zone C1 National Parks and Nature Reserves, Zone C2 Environmental Conservation, Zone C3 Environmental Management or Zone W1 Natural Waterways, or
(b) land within the coastal zone, or
(c) land proposed to be developed for the purpose of sex services or restricted premises.
When this Plan was made it did not include Zone W1 Natural Waterways.
Despite the provisions of this Plan relating to the purposes for which development may be carried out, development consent may be granted to development of land to which this clause applies for any purpose that may be carried out in the adjoining zone, but only if the consent authority is satisfied that—
(a) the development is not inconsistent with the objectives for development in both zones, and
(b) the carrying out of the development is desirable due to compatible land use planning, infrastructure capacity and other planning principles relating to the efficient and timely development of land.
This clause does not prescribe a development standard that may be varied under this Plan.
If development for the purposes of bed and breakfast accommodation is permitted under this Plan, the accommodation that is provided to guests must consist of no more than 5 bedrooms.
Any such development that provides for a certain number of guests or rooms may involve a change in the class of building under the Building Code of Australia.
If development for the purposes of a home business is permitted under this Plan, the carrying on of the business must not involve the use of more than 100 square metres of floor area.
If development for the purposes of a home industry is permitted under this Plan, the carrying on of the home industry must not involve the use of more than 100 square metres of floor area.
If development for the purposes of an industrial retail outlet is permitted under this Plan, the retail floor area must not exceed—
(a) 30% of the gross floor area of the industry or rural industry located on the same land as the retail outlet, or
(b) 400 square metres,
whichever is the lesser.
If development for the purposes of farm stay accommodation is permitted under this Plan, the accommodation that is provided to guests must consist of no more than 5 bedrooms in buildings.
