Q1. Describe environmental planning instruments and why need to know about them? How it
differs from Development Control Plans?
Ans1. Environmental planning Instruments (EPIs) are determined as Local Environmental
plans and State Environmental Planning Policies but do not involve developmental control
plans. These instruments are the framework by which the local and state government regulate
development with the help of development standards. They can also maintain the connection
between environment & standard, and control other activities. The primary purpose of
environmental planning instruments is to identify what type of development is allowed in an
area (Legacy and Leshinsky, 2015).
Importance of Environmental Planning Instruments-
 It is important to identify them because it enhances, protects, and utilizes the
environment to the best advantage.
 It reserves the land for the utilization of open space within the meaning of Local
Development Act, 1993.
 It also regulates, retains, and maintains any matter respecting to reasonable housing.
 It also takes effort and initiative to preserve trees and protect trees.
 It also conserves and preserves native plants and animals involving populations,
habitats, ecological communities, and threatened species (De Roo, 2017).
Environmental planning Instruments Development Control Plans
1. The state government prepares the EPIs. The councils for the objective of
controlling land and development prepare
the Development control plans.
2. They are legally binding documents. They are not legally binding documents.
3. They are published in the NSW
legislation.
They are maintained in the Environmental
Planning and Assessment Act.

Q.2How the zoning provisions work on the land, which is zoned Residential R1. In addition,
what are principle development standards in the local environmental plan?
Ans2. Zoning provisions work in Residential R1, which allows national and local
representatives to control property and land markets to make sure it is used on a
complimentary basis. It also makes sure that the area remains relatively low, which assist in
boosting its appeal for new families with children. They can take effort to build an apartment
complex in an R1 Zone, which is thwarted by zoning regulators. Once an area receives a
zoning classification, it needs a range of administrative action and legislative approvals to
transform it. It is stated that the floor area on the zoning lot cannot exceed 10,000 square foot,
which is restricted in the Residential R1 (White et al., 2017).
Principle development Standard for the local environmental plan is-
 It is stated that the minimum division lot relates to the subdivision of any land that
needs development consent.
 It is under the Community Land Development Act, 1989, which not be less than the
minimum size depicted on the Lot size map.
 This clause applies to the respective rural extents-
 Zone RU1 Primary Production
 Zone RU6 Transition
 The height of the building should not exceed the maximum height for the objective of
encouraging design excellence.
 They should set rules for the objective of preventing an area that has no significant
development (Legislation.nsw.gov.au, 2019).
Q3. What do the proposed development, exempt, and complying development mean? How
will I recognize that my development is complying or exempt?
Ans3. The proposed development is determined as optimizing the extent of development,
which contributes to the commercialization of experience and knowledge with the help of
collaboration and entrepreneurship with industry. It generates a high-quality place by
changing the framework of the social and physical environment. It also assists in offering
sustainable development in the integration and quality within the industry.
