Employment zones
Employment zones commenced within Kiama Local Environmental Plan 2011 (Kiama LEP 2011) on 26 April 2023.
From 26 April 2023, in a document (other than a state environmental planning policy) a reference to a former zone under an environmental planning instrument is taken to include a reference to a new zone under the environmental planning instrument.
The following table provides the new zone for previously zoned Business and Industrial zoned land within Kiama LEP 2011:
