Council Adopts Local Planning Policy – Sustainable Development (LPP39)

The Town of Mosman Park is pleased to announce that at the Council meeting on 27 November 2025, we adopted the Local Planning Policy – Sustainable Development (LPP39).

LPP39 provides guidance for embedding sustainable design throughout the life cycle of a development, including:

• Energy and water efficiency
• Prioritising solar electricity over fossil fuels
• Retention and planting of trees to grow our urban canopy and reduce the urban heat island effect

The Policy also introduces incentives to encourage sustainable development:

• Green-Track – faster approval for projects exceeding energy efficiency standards
• Green-Save – rewards for developments exceeding local greening or tree preservation requirements

This is a win for the Town, developers, and our community, helping Mosman Park become greener, cooler, and more sustainable for everyone.
