Introduction This document replaces the earlier document: Standard requirements for LEP GIS data September 2007 Version 1.0. A reliable and up-to-date set of the spatial information contained within local environmental plans (LEPs) has been identified as a resource that is critical to the work of planners generally. This document defines data standards for geographic information system (GIS) datasets generated by councils when making their LEP maps. The objective is to ensure that the LEP data fully and accurately reflects the content of the new Standard LEP instrument. Common data standards for state and local government improve efficiencies in the creation and assessment of LEPs. The GIS LEP datasets will initially be used for considering the strategic implications of draft LEPs. Future state and local government electronic planning projects may also rely on the final data set. LEP data will be requested for all draft and final LEPs, in accordance with section 33C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act). The Department advises, pursuant to the EP&A Act, that the Crown in right of New South Wales holds copyright over all LEPs and this right extends to the associated maps and GIS datasets. As such the Department does not require a licence to use the LEP GIS data. Where consultants are engaged to create LEP data and maps for councils, the requirement for the GIS data to be submitted to the Department should be reflected in the contractual arrangements. The Crown Solicitor s Office (NSW) advises that contractual arrangements with consultants should contain an acknowledgement from the consultant that the work to be undertaken, is undertaken for the purposes of creating an environmental planning instrument under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (NSW) and the Crown in right of New South Wales is the owner of any new copyright subsisting in the work created by the consultant. This document should be read in conjunction with the document Standard technical requirements for local environmental plan maps produced by the Department and made publicly available on the Departments website http://www.planning.nsw.gov.au. Other useful reading includes the Standard Instrument Principal Local Environment Plan made publicly available on the Parliamentary Counsel s Office website at http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au. To provide feedback on this document please refer to the contact details provided at end of this document. ii NSW Department of Planning 2007

1. Submission of GIS data Council submission under section 64; submission of draft LEP prior to public exhibition the Department of Planning requests the GIS data relating to the LEP be submitted at this stage, along with the written document and PDF maps for assessment by the regional planning teams. Council submission under section 68(4); resubmission of draft LEP post-exhibition and submissions the Department of Planning requests the GIS data relating to the LEP be submitted at this stage, for inclusion in the Department s state-wide LEP dataset. At both stages the completed data sets should be sent to the following email address: LEP@planning.nsw.gov.au. The subject heading should contain the key word GIS and the LEP name. The GIS data should be sent in a separate email to other LEP information such as the written document or the PDF maps. Where email size is > 10Mb in size, the delivery of files must be made via the FTP site. An email should be sent in the same manner as described above, notifying the Department that an upload to the FTP site is intended and requesting site and login details. Where gazetted amendments affect the spatial data of the LEP, the relevant digital GIS data will also need to be submitted to the Department. The procedure will be as for that described above except that the subject heading should contain the keyword GIS, the LEP name and the amendment number. Amendments are discussed in more detail later in this document. Cadastre base It is the Department of Planning s preference that the data and maps for all LEP information layers be constructed from the Department of Lands Cadastre base dataset. When councils submit LEP data based on other cadastres, this results in a misalignment with data from other surrounding LEPs at the Department of Planning where the Department of Lands cadastre will be used for the whole State. The Department is actively engaging with Lands to resolve the issue of cadastral alignment. Until this is resolved, the Department will accept LEP data that uses other cadastres as base data sets. Export formats GIS data should be supplied to the Department as a polygon datasets in shapefile, personal geodatabase or MID/MIF file formats. Other formats may be considered. If this is not possible, please contact the Department via the contact details provided to discuss alternatives. The correct datum and projection to use are cited below. Datum: GDA94 Projection: MGA94_z56, MGA94_z55, MGA94_z54 Where a council area traverses two projection zones the entire area will be projected into that zone where the majority of the area falls. 1 NSW Department of Planning 2008

File naming For consistency the GIS data file naming should follow the convention of naming the folder, directory (or geodatabase) with the LEP name*, and the individual data layers with the three letter map type codes (Refer Figure 5.3 Standard technical requirements for LEP mapping ). For example: Folder (or geodatabase): Wollongong_LEP2007 Data layers: APU FSR HER HOB LAP LRA LSZ LZN MAP PUB etc *All space chars to be replaced with underscores. 2 NSW Department of Planning 2008

Procedures for amendments to LEP GIS data When amendments are made to a local environmental plan that change any of the GIS layers mentioned above, new GIS data for the areas effected will need to be supplied to the Department of Planning in order to update the Department s state wide dataset. This applies for amendments to the standard template local environmental plans as well as new amendments to LEPs created before the introduction of the Standard Template. The amended features should be supplied to the Department in the same format as the initial LEP GIS data supply with the addition of a field to note the name of the amendment.
