Our Place Inner West - LSPS
Council is leading a positive shift towards sustainable urban living through the Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS). This document will guide land use in the Inner West over the next 20 years.
Sustainable and coordinated land use will support more renewable energy, local waste reduction, shared transport and local business. The LSPS will also guide the alignment of population growth and infrastructure.

Council is leading a positive shift towards sustainable urban living through the Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS). This document will guide land use in the Inner West over the next 20 years.
Sustainable and coordinated land use will support more renewable energy, local waste reduction, shared transport and local business. The LSPS will also guide the alignment of population growth and infrastructure.
How was the statement developed?
We have built on evidence-based studies created with community input and neighbourhood surveys to link Inner West community values and priorities with Greater Sydney Commission plans to manage future challenges.
The LSPS will act as a link between the NSW Government's Regional and District plans, and the finer-grained planning undertaken by Council at a local level to ensure consistency in strategic planning approaches.
What is being proposed?
The draft consists of Council’s vision and a set of planning priorities, objectives and actions under six themes
- Ecological sustainability
- Unique, liveable, networked neighbourhoods
- Sustainable transport
- Creative communities and strong economy
- Caring, happy, healthy communities
- Progressive local leadership

What happens after the exhibition period closes?
After the exhibition period closes, Council will consider the submissions and make any amendments to the LSPS as required. The LSPS will then be considered at a meeting of Council for submission to the State Government for support.
The Department of Planning Industry and Environment and the Greater Sydney Commission will review the LSPS to ensure that matters raised during exhibition have been addressed and that the LSPS, as amended, is consistent with the Regional Plan and the Eastern City District Plan.
The LSPS is required to be finalised and in place by 31 March 2020.
The Local Strategic Planning Statement will then guide Council’s Land Use Planning Framework; our consolidated Local Environmental Plan, draft Development Control Plan and consolidated Developer Contributions Plan.
