These are the planning scheme’s official terms. A close match tells you the rule for that term; whether your project counts as that term is a judgement call.

Objectives of this zone
- To provide a range of industrial, warehouse, logistics and related land uses.
- To ensure the efficient and viable use of land for industrial uses.
- To minimise any adverse effect of industry on other land uses.
- To encourage employment opportunities.
- To enable limited non-industrial land uses that provide facilities and services to meet the needs of businesses and workers.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Does this E4 General Industrial table apply to my property in Penrith?
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 E4 General Industrial?
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 E4 General Industrial, is it prohibited in Penrith?
Not by itself. Unlisted uses follow this zone’s fallback (“Prohibited”). That is different from being named on the list.
