Objectives of this zone

  • To provide for development and land uses that support enterprise and productivity.
  • To provide a range of office and light industrial uses.
  • To encourage employment opportunities.
  • To enable other land uses that provide facilities or services to meet the day to day needs of workers in the area.
  • To permit limited residential accommodation that contributes to the provision of employment opportunities.

Some state-level housing and precinct policies sit above council rules and can override them. Those aren’t included here.

A council’s LEP can also grant extra permitted uses of its own on top of the standard list. Those aren’t included here either.

Each NSW council writes its own table for SP4, and they don’t all allow the same things. See what SP4 allows across every NSW council that uses it.

Frequently asked questions

Does this SP4 Enterprise table apply to my property in Central Coast?

Only if this zone and this planning scheme apply to the land. Search your address — that is what names both.

Can I assume my project is one of the terms listed for SP4 Enterprise?

No. The list uses the planning scheme’s official names. Whether your project counts as one of those names is a judgement call — that’s what a planner is for.

If a use is not listed in SP4 Enterprise, is it prohibited in Central Coast?

Not by itself. Unlisted uses follow this zone’s fallback (“Permitted with consent”). That is different from being named on the list.
