A Local Environmental Plan (LEP) is the principal legal document for controlling development at the council level. The zoning provisions establish permissibility of uses and standards regulate the extent of development.

They are prepared by councils and approved by the Minister (after public exhibition). There are 3 Local Environmental Plans for Blue Mountains City Council's Local Government Area:

• Local Environmental Plan 2005 Gazetted 7 October 2005, replaces Local Environmental Plan No. 4. It also replaces certain provisions and zones of certain lands that were partly zoned Environmental Protection, Residential Investigation and had constraints under Local Environmental Plan 1991.
