Full description

These maps and plans relate to various aspects of planning and development within New South Wales. They consist of a large number of maps and plans of Planning Schemes/Amending Schemes, and Interim Development Orders and Other Instruments prior to the Environment Planning Act, 1979 (submitted by Shire, Municipal and County Councils); and maps and plans relating to various aspects of planning which were produced by the Department or its predecessors, other departments, Councils or individuals (includes such aspects or categories as expressways, green belts, railways, growth centres, electoral districts, public utilities and study areas etc.).

Planning Schemes/Amending Schemes and Interim Development Orders fall into two categories: Regional and Local. By Regional is meant maps pertaining to Cumberland County, Northumberland County, and Illawarra District. By Local is meant maps pertaining to specific shires and municipalities.

Maps of Planning Schemes/Amending Schemes are required to be submitted by statute (submitted by Shire, Municipal or County Councils). Additional maps may consist of scheme maps amended, or certified to, by the Minister; scheme maps as exhibited by the Minister; diagrams indicating recommended amendments arising from objections received thereto; diagrams of recommendations to the Minister; scheme maps as approved and signed by the Minister.

Maps relating to Interim Development Orders or Other Instruments may consist of suspension maps; maps submitted with application for Interim Development Order; Interim Development Control maps; diagrams of representations to the Minister; and maps approved (signed) by the Minister.

Planning Schemes as submitted by Councils sometimes contain supplementary maps to the scheme maps, such as land use, property, communications and public utility maps.
