Background

CLEP 2010 contains two industrial zones - IN1 General Industrial and IN2 Light Industrial. The IN1 General Industrial zone is designed to accommodate traditional and modern forms of industrial development, including manufacturing and warehousing. The IN2 Light Industrial zone is intended to provide a range of light industrial uses while minimising adverse impacts on surrounding land uses.

How to use this part?

This chapter (Chapter 3) establishes objectives and controls that guide industrial development such as a wide range of industrial, warehouse, employment and related land uses, along with ancillary uses that serve the day to day needs of workers in surrounding development.

What chapters apply for my development?

Chapter 3 provides general controls for industrial development within the IN1 and IN2 zones. Additional controls for site specific developments are in chapter 4, these include; 

• Narellan Industrial Area – Zoned part IN1 General Industrial and part IN2 Light Industrial (Part 6.4.1).
• Smeaton Grange – Zoned part IN1 General Industrial and part IN2 Light Industrial (Part 6.4.2).
• Ironbark Avenue, South Camden – Zoned IN2 Light Industrial (Part 6.4.3).

In the event of any inconsistency between Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, controls in Chapter 4 prevail.

The objectives and controls contained in this section also apply to light industrial development in the B4 Mixed Use zone surrounding the Camden town centre in Part 5 of this DCP.

Objectives

1. Facilitate the economic and orderly development of industrial areas for a wide range of uses including industrial, recreational and community uses, and limited business and retail uses that serve the day-to-day needs of those working in the immediate locality;
2. Create high-quality industrial areas which embrace innovative and imaginative building design that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing;
3. Enhance the existing streetscape and promote a scale and density of planting that softens the visual impact of buildings and other infrastructure;
4. Ensure that ecological sustainable development principles are integrated into all industrial developments;
5. Minimise the visual and environmental impact of development on the adjoining residential, rural residential and other sensitive land uses; and
6. Ensure adequate facilities are provided within an industrial development for loading and unloading of goods, collecting garbage and trade waste and for the off-street parking of vehicles associated with that development.
