Variations to Development Standards Clause 4.6 Register

The Ryde Local Environment Plan 2014 (RLEP 2014) sets out development standards for each zone in the local government area.

Under the RLEP 2014 Council is allowed some flexibility when applying planning controls to certain developments and maintains a register of these variations to then be submitted quarterly to the Department of Planning. It is important to note that these developments whilst they may not meet certain development standards are achieving strict planning objectives set by Council. 

The register of variations to development standards, applied to development applications within the City, is available for public view below. 

Variations to Development Standards Register

The Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure maintain a register of the Clause 4.6 variation request.

All variation requests under assessment or lodged from 1 November 2023 are hosted on the NSW Planning Portal, in a publicly available variations register. The register provides transparency for the community and streamlines reporting requirements for councils.
