  • Koala SEPP—Frequently Asked Questions—Development Applications
    Koala SEPP 2021 Frequently Asked Questions March 2021 State Environmental Planning Policy (Koala Habitat Protection) 2021 (“Koala SEPP 2021”) This document answers frequently asked questions about Koala SEPP 2021 What’s the current status? The State Environmental Planning Policy (Koala Habitat Protection) 2021 (referred to here as “Koala SEPP 2021”) was made and commenced on 17 March 2021. The principles of the Koala SEPP 2021 are to help koalas thrive by ensuring koala habitat is properly considered during the development assessment process, and to provide a process for councils to strategically manage koala habitat through the development of koala plans of management. As an interim measure, the existing Koala SEPP 2020 will continue to apply in NSW core rural zones RU1, RU2 and RU3, except in the Blue Mountains, Campbelltown, Central Coast, Hawkesbury, Hornsby, Ku-Ring-Gai, Liverpool, Northern Beaches and Wollondilly where Koala SEPP 2021 will apply across all zones. Why are there two Koala SEPPs? Currently, two Koala SEPPs apply in NSW: • The State Environmental Planning Policy (Koala Habitat Protection) 2020, which commenced on 30 November 2020 and largely reinstates the policy framework of SEPP 44, and • The State Environmental Planning Policy (Koala Habitat Protection) 2021, which commenced on 17 March 2021 and largely reinstates the policy framework of the 2019 Koala SEPP. This is an interim measure while new codes that include protections for high value koala habitat under the Local Land Services Act 2013 are developed as announced on 8 March. The new codes will decouple core rural zones in rural areas for land management purposes from core koala habitat identified through future Koala Plans of Management under the Koala SEPP.
