Lodging a Development Application
State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 specifies exempt development under that Policy. The Codes SEPP has State-wide application and commences on 27 February 2009. Consequently, from that date the exempt development provisions (for the development types covered by the Codes SEPP) in the Wentworth Shire Council Local Environmental Plan 1993 will no longer apply.
A copy of the Codes SEPP is available at:www.planning.nsw.gov.au/housingcode
Further information on the General Housing Code is available at www.planning.nsw.gov.au/jhousingcode
For further information please email planningreform@planning.nsw.gov.au or call the Department of Planning’s Information Centre on 02 92286333.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION -
MOORING APPLICATIONS –MURRAY RIVER SOUTH SIDE (VICTORIA)
Wentworth Shire Council are not accepting and processing development applications for moorings on the southern bank of the Murray River.
Wentworth Shire Council has no legal jurisdiction to conduct compliance activities on moorings and associated structures on a lot of which the land is in Victoria. As distinct from the deemed SEPP Murray REP 2, mooring is no longer defined as a berth or site on the river rather it is defined as an apparatus on or in the waterway to secure a vessel.
This does not negate the need to obtain the relevant approvals from the respective Victorian Government Agencies.
Please contact the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) for further information, licences and approvals at the Mildura office on (03) 5051 4500.
