See State Environmental Planning Policy (Precincts—Regional) 2021, Chapter 5 for provisions applying to Gosford City Centre.
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(Repealed)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.

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plans and deemed environmental planning instruments applying only to the land to which this Plan applies are repealed.
The following local environmental plans are repealed under this provision—
• Gosford City Centre Local Environmental Plan 2005
• Gosford City Centre Local Environmental Plan 2007
• Gosford Local Environmental Plan No 22
• Hornsby Planning Scheme Ordinance
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.
While Gosford Planning Scheme Ordinance and Interim Development Order No 122—Gosford no longer apply to the land to which this Plan applies, they will continue to apply to the land identified as “Deferred Matter” under clause 1.3(1A).
If a development application has been made before the commencement of this Plan in relation to land to which this Plan applies and the application has not been finally determined before that commencement, the application must be determined as if this Plan had not commenced.
However, under Division 3.5 of the Act, a development application may be made 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, and the consent authority may consider the application. The Division 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—
(Repealed)
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

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
RU2 Rural Landscape
RU3 Forestry
RU5 Village
• Residential Zones R1 General Residential
R2 Low Density Residential
• Business Zones B1 Neighbourhood Centre
B2 Local Centre
B3 Commercial Core

C2 Environmental Conservation
C3 Environmental Management
C4 Environmental Living
• Waterway Zones W1 Natural Waterways
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 28 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).

The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to reflect State, regional and local planning strategies relating to the provision of various sizes of land,
(b) to ensure that the subdivision of land is compatible with the desired future character of the area,
(c) to promote the ecologically, socially and economically sustainable subdivision of land,
(d) to ensure that the creation of parcels of land for development occurs in a manner that protects the physical characteristics of the land, does not create potential physical hazard or amenity issues for neighbours, can be satisfactorily serviced and will, through its potential cumulative effects, not create capacity problems for existing infrastructure.
This clause applies to a subdivision of any land shown on the Lot Size Map that requires development consent and that is carried out after the commencement of this Plan.
The size of any lot resulting from a subdivision of land to which this clause applies is not to be less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land.
This clause does not apply in relation to the subdivision of any land—
(a) by the registration of a strata plan or strata plan of subdivision under the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015, or
(b) by any kind of subdivision under the Community Land Development Act 2021.
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to ensure that land to which this clause applies is not fragmented by subdivisions that would create additional dwelling entitlements.
This clause applies to a subdivision (being a subdivision that requires development consent) under the Community Land Development Act 2021 of land in any of the following zones—
(a) Zone RU1 Primary Production,

The size of any lot resulting from a subdivision of land to which this clause applies for a strata plan scheme (other than any lot comprising common property within the meaning of the Strata Schemes (Freehold Development) Act 1973 or Strata Schemes (Leasehold Development) Act 1986) is not to be less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land.
Part 6 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 provides that strata subdivision of a building in certain circumstances is specified complying development.
The objective of this clause is to achieve planned residential density in certain zones.
Development consent may be granted to development on a lot in Zone R1 General Residential for a purpose shown in Column 1 of the Table to this clause if the area of the lot is equal to or greater than the area shown opposite that purpose in Column 2 of the Table.
Column 1 | Column 2 |
Dual occupancy (attached) | 550 square metres |
Dual occupancy (detached) | 800 square metres |
Multi dwelling housing | 750 square metres |
Residential flat building | 750 square metres |

(Repealed)
Development consent may be granted to a subdivision of land to create a lot (the
(a) the subdivision is of land that is being subdivided together with land identified as “Deferred Matter” under clause 1.3(1A), and
(b) the residual lot is comprised entirely of land to which this Plan applies.
Development consent must not be granted for the erection of a dwelling on the residual lot.
The objective of this clause is to provide flexibility in the application of standards for subdivision in rural zones to allow land owners a greater chance to achieve the objectives for development in the relevant zone.
This clause applies to the following rural zones—
(a) Zone RU1 Primary Production,
(b) Zone RU2 Rural Landscape,
(baa) Zone RU3 Forestry,
(c) Zone RU4 Primary Production Small Lots,
(d) Zone RU6 Transition.
When this Plan was made it did not include all of these zones.
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 minimise unplanned rural residential development,
(b) to prohibit residential development on undersized lots resulting from the closure of a road.
This clause applies to land in the following zones—
(a) Zone RU1 Primary Production,
(b) Zone RU2 Rural Landscape,
(c) Zone E2 Environmental Conservation,
(d) Zone E3 Environmental Management,
(e) Zone E4 Environmental Living.
Development consent must not be granted for the erection of a dwelling house on a lot resulting from the closure of part or all of a road, irrespective of when that closure occurred, unless the lot is at least the minimum lot size specified for that land by the Lot Size Map.
Subclause (3) extends to a lot resulting from the closure of part or all of a road, the boundaries of which have been realigned as a result of a subdivision of an adjoining lot that did not result from the closure of part or all of a road.
Subclause (3) does not apply to a lot created by the consolidation of a lot resulting from the closure of part or all of a road with an adjoining lot that did not result from the closure of part or all of a road.
The object of this clause is to facilitate boundary adjustments between lots where one or more resultant lots do not meet the minimum lot size but the objectives of the relevant zone can be achieved.
This clause applies to land in the following zones—
(a) Zone RU1 Primary Production,
(b) Zone RU2 Rural Landscape,
(c) Zone E2 Environmental Conservation,
(d) Zone E3 Environmental Management,
(e) Zone E4 Environmental Living.
Despite clause 4.1(3), development consent may be granted to subdivide land by way of a boundary adjustment between adjoining lots where one or more resultant lots do not meet the minimum lot size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land if the consent authority is satisfied that—
(a) the subdivision will not create additional lots or the opportunity for additional dwellings, and
(b) the number of dwellings on each lot after the subdivision will remain the same as before the subdivision, and
(c) the potential for land use conflict will not be increased as a result of the subdivision, and
(d) if the land is in Zone RU1 Primary Production or Zone RU2 Rural Landscape—the subdivision will not have a significant adverse effect on the agricultural viability of the land, and
(e) if the land is in Zone E2 Environmental Conservation, Zone E3 Environmental Management or Zone E4 Environmental Living—the subdivision will result in the continued protection and long term maintenance of the land.
Before determining a development application for the subdivision of land under this clause, the consent authority must consider whether or not the subdivision is likely to be incompatible with, or have a significant adverse impact on, the predominant land uses in the vicinity of the subdivision.
This clause does not apply—
(a) in relation to the subdivision of individual lots within a strata plan or community title scheme, or
(b) if the subdivision would create a lot that could itself be subdivided in accordance with clause 4.1.
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to establish maximum height limits for buildings,
(b) to permit building heights that encourage high quality urban form,
(c) to ensure that buildings and public areas continue to receive satisfactory exposure to sky and sunlight,
(d) to nominate heights that will provide an appropriate transition in built form and land use intensity,
(e) to ensure that taller buildings are located appropriately in relation to view corridors and view impacts and in a manner that is complementary to the natural topography of the area,
(f) to protect public open space from excessive overshadowing and to allow views to identify natural topographical features.
The height of a building on any land is not to exceed the maximum height shown for the land on the Height of Buildings Map.
Clauses 4.3A, 4.6, 5.6, 7.7 and 8.9 provide exceptions to the maximum height shown for the relevant land on the Height of Buildings Map in certain circumstances.
Despite subclause (2), the maximum height of a building on land identified as “Woy Woy Town Centre”, “Umina Village Centre” or “Ettalong Village Centre” on the Development Incentives Application Map is 11.5 metres if—
(a) the building is located on a site area of less than 1,000 square metres, or
(b) the building has a street frontage of less than 20 metres.
Despite subclause (2), the maximum height of a building on land identified as “Erina Town Centre” on the Development Incentives Application Map is 11.5 metres if—
(a) the building is located on a site area of less than 3,000 square metres, or
(b) the building has a street frontage of less than 40 metres.
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to establish a range of public and urban design benefits,
(b) to disguise the impact of any additional height on the overall scale and bulk of building forms,
(c) to minimise the impact of any additional height on panoramic coastal and ocean views that are available from the surrounding residential hillsides,
(d) to establish the maximum height limit for certain buildings in the Terrigal Village Centre.
This clause applies to the land identified as “Terrigal Village Centre” on the Development Incentives Application Map.
Despite clause 4.3(2), the maximum height of a building on land to which this clause applies is 2.75 metres less than the height shown for that land on the Height of Buildings Map if—
(a) the building is on a site area of less than 2,000 square metres, and
(b) the building has a street frontage of less than 20 metres.
Despite clause 4.3(2), the maximum height of a building on land to which this clause applies is 2.75 metres more than the height shown for that land on the Height of Buildings Map if—
(a) the building is on a site area of at least 2,000 square metres, and
(b) the building has a street frontage of at least 20 metres, and
(c) the consent authority is satisfied that the development incorporates at least one publicly accessible outdoor space facing a street or lane that reinforces the level of retail activity and contributes to the accessibility of existing pedestrian spaces and includes—
(i) open alleyways that link existing laneways or streets, or
(ii) open courtyards that receive satisfactory levels of mid-winter sunlight.
Despite clause 4.4(2), if subclause (4) applies to a building, the gross floor area of any part of the building that exceeds the maximum height of the building shown for the land on the Height of Buildings Map may increase the gross floor area of the building by a maximum of 25% of the site area.
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to establish standards for the maximum development density and intensity of land use,
(b) to control building density and bulk in relation to site area in order to achieve the desired future character for different locations,
(c) to minimise adverse environmental effects on the use or enjoyment of adjoining properties and the public domain,
(d) to maintain an appropriate visual relationship between new development and the existing character of areas or locations that are not undergoing, and are not likely to undergo, a substantial transformation,
(e) to provide an appropriate correlation between the size of a site and the extent of any development on that site,
(f) to facilitate design excellence by ensuring the extent of floor space in building envelopes leaves generous space for the articulation and modulation of design,
(g) to ensure that the floor space ratio of buildings on land in Zone R1 General Residential reflects Council’s desired building envelope,
(h) to encourage lot amalgamation and new development forms in Zone R1 General Residential with car parking below ground level.
The maximum floor space ratio for a building on any land is not to exceed the floor space ratio shown for the land on the Floor Space Ratio Map.
Despite subclause (2), the maximum floor space ratio for a building on land in Zone R1 General Residential for which the maximum floor space ratio on the Floor Space Ratio Map is 0.7:1 or 0.85:1 is to be—
(a) if the building is used for the purpose of an attached dwelling, semi-detached dwelling or dual occupancy—0.5:1 or 0.6:1, respectively, or
(b) if the building is on a site area of less than 1,000 square metres and is used for the purpose of a residential flat building or multi dwelling housing with all on-site car parking located in the basement—0.6:1 or 0.7:1, respectively, or
(c) if the building is used for the purpose of a residential flat building or multi dwelling housing and includes on-site car parking that is not located in the basement—0.5:1 or 0.6:1, respectively, or
(e) if the building is used for any other purpose (excluding a dwelling house)—0.6:1 or 0.75:1, respectively.
Despite subclause (2), the maximum floor space ratio for a building is as follows—
(a) if the building is used for the purpose of a dwelling house—0.5:1, or
(b) if the building is used for any other purpose and is located on land in Zone RU5 Village, Zone E2 Environmental Conservation, Zone E3 Environmental Management or Zone E4 Environmental Living—0.15:1.
Despite clause 4.4(2), the maximum floor space ratio for a building that is on land identified as “Woy Woy Town Centre”, “Umina Village Centre” or “Ettalong Village Centre” on the Development Incentives Application Map is 1:1 if—
(a) the building is located on a site area of less than 1,000 square metres, or
(b) the building has a street frontage of less than 20 metres.
Despite clause 4.4(2), the maximum floor space ratio for a building that is on land identified as “Woy Woy Town Centre” on the Development Incentives Application Map is 2.1:1 if—
(a) the building is located on a site area of at least 1,000 square metres, but less than 1,500 square metres, and
(b) the building has a street frontage of at least 20 metres.
Despite clause 4.4(2), the maximum floor space ratio for a building that is on land identified as “Erina Town Centre” on the Development Incentives Application Map is 1:1 if—
(a) the building is located on a site area of less than 3,000 square metres, or
(b) the building has a street frontage of less than 40 metres.
Despite clause 4.4(2), the maximum floor space ratio for a building that is on land identified as “Terrigal Village Centre” on the Development Incentives Application Map is 1:1 if—
(a) the building is located on a site area of less than 2,000 square metres, and
(b) the building has a street frontage of less than 20 metres.
Despite clause 4.4(2), the maximum floor space ratio for a building that is on land identified as “Terrigal Village Centre” on the Development Incentives Application Map is 1.8:1 if—
(a) the building is located on a site area of less than 2,000 square metres, and
(b) the building has a street frontage of at least 20 metres.
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
(a) to define
floor space ratio ,(b) to set out rules for the calculation of the site area of development for the purpose of applying permitted floor space ratios, including rules to—
(i) prevent the inclusion in the site area of an area that has no significant development being carried out on it, and
(ii) prevent the inclusion in the site area of an area that has already been included as part of a site area to maximise floor space area in another building, and
(iii) require community land and public places to be dealt with separately.
The
In determining the site area of proposed development for the purpose of applying a floor space ratio, the
(a) if the proposed development is to be carried out on only one lot, the area of that lot, or
(b) if the proposed development is to be carried out on 2 or more lots, the area of any lot on which the development is proposed to be carried out that has at least one common boundary with another lot on which the development is being carried out.
In addition, subclauses (4)–(7) apply to the calculation of site area for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio to proposed development.
The following land must be excluded from the site area—
(a) land on which the proposed development is prohibited, whether under this Plan or any other law,
(b) community land or a public place (except as provided by subclause (7)).
The area of a lot that is wholly or partly on top of another or others in a strata subdivision is to be included in the calculation of the site area only to the extent that it does not overlap with another lot already included in the site area calculation.
The site area for proposed development must not include a lot additional to a lot or lots on which the development is being carried out unless the proposed development includes significant development on that additional lot.
For the purpose of applying a floor space ratio to any proposed development on, above or below community land or a public place, the site area must only include an area that is on, above or below that community land or public place, and is occupied or physically affected by the proposed development, and may not include any other area on which the proposed development is to be carried out.
The gross floor area of any existing or proposed buildings within the vertical projection (above or below ground) of the boundaries of a site is to be included in the calculation of the total floor space for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio, whether or not the proposed development relates to all of the buildings.
When development consent is granted to development on a site comprised of 2 or more lots, a condition of the consent may require a covenant to be registered that prevents the creation of floor area on a lot (the restricted lot) if the consent authority is satisfied that an equivalent quantity of floor area will be created on another lot only because the site included the restricted lot.
If—
(a) a covenant of the kind referred to in subclause (9) applies to any land (
affected land ), and(b) proposed development relates to the affected land and other land that together comprise the site of the proposed development,
the maximum amount of floor area allowed on the other land by the floor space ratio fixed for the site by this Plan is reduced by the quantity of floor space area the covenant prevents being created on the affected land.
In this clause,
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 for development that contravenes a development standard unless the consent authority has considered a written request from the applicant that seeks to justify the contravention of the development standard by demonstrating—
