State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Drinking Water Catchment) 2011
The State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Drinking Water Catchment) 2011 (the SEPP) commenced on 1 March 2011. The SEPP aims to:
- provide for healthy water catchments that will deliver high quality water while permitting development that is compatible with that goal, and
- provide that a consent authority must not grant consent to a proposed development unless it is satisfied that the proposed development will have a neutral or beneficial effect on water quality, and
- support the maintenance or achievement of the water quality objectives for the Sydney drinking water catchment.
