Fighting the NSW Standard LEP? What if we all joined forces!

If you think these new "Standard LEP's" are bad, just wait till they are all through, and then you will see the real reason for them. Our Shire (the Eurobodalla) looks like it is the State test area for a new version of "Biodiversity Certification". It relies on these standard LEP's to come in first, but in our area they are testing it out, so we worked out what its all about.

Biodiversity Certification is basically a forced version of Biobanking.

Few know about it, and fewer understand it. But it is essentially a  Development Rights Credit Trading Scheme! Trading development “Credits” taken from land owners, without Just Compensation, or even a requirement to notify owners. Just like Carbon Trading, only this time designed with the cooperation of all three levels of Government (and environmental groups). It is to be run by councils, the DOP and a State Bureaucracy, called the OEH (Office of Environment and Heritage).

We are aware of three other areas where a type of Biodiversity Certification was done. Wagga Wagga , Albury Wadonga, and one in the Sydney basin. But we are now also aware that these were using an earlier and very different method. So it looks like Eurobodalla is the test shire, and the first to implement it.

 

It is extremely complicated, and there are 15 different ways it can work. But this is the main one.

First councils use the “Standard Template LEP” to cover undeveloped Urban and Rural land with numerous restrictive “Overlay” maps, and new Environmental zonings, which severely restrict or stop development.

 As mentioned, in our Shire, these covered at least 80% (and probably more) of all the private land area of the Shire. (which is already approximately 90% state forest and national parks)

Councils can then earn 25% Development Credits for land they restrict in this way.

Then when owners on mainly Rural land want to build something, it triggers expensive studies, and funnels most owners into unavoidable “Perpetual Voluntary Agreements”.

 The more council or the OEH restrict the land, the more Credits they can earn, for perpetual agreements its more like 90%.

These “agreements” must then be attached to the owners title deeds, and may now restrict the land forever.

In these agreements land owners may be required to donate large areas of their land, or fence some areas off and maintain it “for the public good”, or donate toward unrelated public infrastructure, or even “Social Services”, or give up ANY property rights the Council or OEH so choose, or even do ongoing physical works or maintenance, even on Public lands, forever!

Payment for these works is dependant on money available in a supposedly “perpetual” fund, and how much council or the OEH agree to reimburse in these so called “agreements”.

These agreements also run with the land (like a perpetual dept) and must be adhered to by any new owners.

 

Of course, if owners don’t sign the agreement, their applications will be refused, and failure to comply with work orders include severe penalties, including the seizure of properties.

Now this applies equally to urban areas, but with a twist.

The excuse being used by councils for the widespread removal of rural housing entitlements, and sterilizing of rural land, is to drive populations back into Urban Centre’s (for the environment) and to make these urban centre’s higher density.

 But then this does not seem to make any sense, as they also planned to cover undeveloped urban land. (called urban expansion lands) with layers of these same environmental restrictions, which can be more restrictive than a national park!

Let me quote from our councils Settlement Strategy (which guides the direction of the LEP)

“Action NE18: seek biodiversity certification in the new LEP for greenfield existing urban zones, urban expansion zones and rural residential zones,”

Council here are admitting that they have covered all possible urban expansion land with overlay restrictions. Not for environmental reasons, but so they can Biocertify it!

Which is exactly what they did in this small shire. Drawing bizarre straight lines around urban centre’s, with nice circular curves on the corners (seemingly unrelated to vegetation)

Our council even covered the whole eastern section of one town’s commercial centre with ‘biodiversity sensitive lands’ overlays,  and the developed industrial area with the same, plus ‘endangered ecological community’ overlays!   These areas had little or no native vegetation at all, but the effects were to prohibit “ANY” environmental impacts, which is, in effect, a prohibition on all development.

So here is the real motive.

Council, with the DOP and OEH can now control and profit from virtually all future land releases and development.

As, for example, unlocking an area of undeveloped urban land, will now likely require a perpetual agreement, and/or that it to be “Biocertified” first.

This involves packaging an urban area with a nearby rural area. “Taking” credits from the rural owners (now called “offset” lands). Without Just Compensation, or even a requirement to personally notify owners. Then compelling Urban land owners and developers to bargain with council or the OEH for these Development “Credits”, which were ‘taken’ from others.

  

The deals councils and the OEH make will be in confidential contracts.

 As developers have pointed out, this will make the cost of new urban land very expensive. But as most Rural blocks will loose their building entitlements, or be sterilized with environmental overlays and zonings, there will be little competition or alternatives for future potential buyers. Giving Councils and the OEH total control, and in effect, a massive monopoly control over urban land development, for their own benefit!

 

Another big plus for Councils and the OEH, is that any urban or rural land they sterilize will then plummet in value. As buyers wont buy useless or uncertain lands, and banks wont lend on it. So whenever they need more land supply. Whole areas of now devalued land can be snapped up by councils (or their big developer friends) for a fraction of the lands true value, and with no competing buyers.

 

 

The governments intent is obviously to roll this out across the State, once the LEP’s are in place.

 After speaking to us, the Lismore community questioned the State Bureaucrats at a public protest meeting and asked, how does this fit in with “Biodiversity Certification”?

The Bureaucrats were quite stunned, and said, “we were not going to talk about that, yet!”

Now our area and apparently about 20 others around the state have been fighting hard to stop this, but the only way that will happen is if groups from all areas combine and act as one.

So please email me if your area is one these, or if a land rights group from your area would like to join a joint delegation to confront the Minister?

My email is rogersdamien@aapt.net.au

Thank you

Hi Damien, this is the ICLEI rollout that is Global. NSW & all other states are involved/rolled over.

All tied to the Agenda 21, CO2 tax & the advise given is that the States can't fight it, so at this stage all the Agenda continues & the NSW liberals will pretend it doesn't exist IMO.    

Permalink Reply by Stephen Cox on May 8, 2012 at 11:04pm

Maybe they need to take a look at what just happened in Queensland where  many Local Councils have been removed because of such arrogance,Though I think World Financial Meltdown or War will happen before the nefarious Agenda 21 actually  gets it's teeth fully sunk in.

None the less we must fight for freedom and justice against these grubs who betray their underhanded actions by their attempted stealth.

I have no doubt in some parts of the World some of those pushing this will pay with blood not all around the world will play nice on this UN treachery as we likely will in Australia where we will seek legal and financial punishment for those who betray us in such a manner.

 

Australians may at times be slow to react but when aroused best not to be the object of their Ire for that is a ticket to Justice they will not enjoy.

 

If ever someone came up with something to make allies of former enemies it is Agenda 21 and The UN not the much spun line of only Alien Invasion would unite the people of the Earth.

Hi Ian, Yes this is coming from a federal level using agenda 21 etc, you are right on the money!

Yet we have held it back by educating the public, having public meetings and with a large petition just tabled in parliament. Other areas are strongly resisting also. But none of us can hold out alone. We must join forces as quickly as possible to bring this to a halt. There are enough of us to do this now.

So I repeat, please email if you have a land rights group who wants to join a joint delegation to oppose these "Standard template LEP's". We need representatives from as many shires as possible.

A strong delegation can confront the minister and parliament, give it the media coverage this deserves, and raise enough awareness to bring it all crumbling down!

My email again is rogersdamien@aapt.net.au

Thanks Ian

I will get back to you after I speak with members of our 5acresnow group in the Hills Shire of Sydney. We do have a website of the same name although it may need a bit of an update.

Our group are well aware of what is happening with the green overlays and have fought against this for years.The latest Draft LEP which has not yet come back from Dept of Planning has a lot of restrictive conditions. To develop in the Hills Shire requires a lot of jumping through the imposed environmental hoops. One of which (in the Development Control Plan) is that on a 25acre block the site coverage that can be used is approx 2500m2 which includes asset protection area and all buildings.  So we don't own our land really do we?  We are also told where on the acreage to build.  Have to have building platform identified to conform with the environmental constraints that have been imposed by those who think they know what is best.

Good work -all you people.

                It could be one remote win for this website if the diverse range of members geographic locations can join and share  there efforts. These faceless gutless oft unelected parasites that get highly paid to dream up all this s..t turn to water when they get fronted.

                I live in the bush where our local council @ Mitchell could only find  us about every three years to do a token grade to the roads but was then amalgamated with three other Shires and now we are 255 kms from the pulse of the Maranoa Regional Shire!! Local Govt means - local bias and all the inbred nonsense of big fish in a small bowl etc....rafferty;s rules in other words.

                 I am confident that with the experience of  Hazel Kennedy who whipped Carr and Knowles and Rafshugie, Kel Grahan @ Lismore, Damien and Liz Innes @ Eurobodulla, June Esposito and Margaret Hutton from the Shoalhaven estates...........if you could all join forces- you will have BOF paying attention. Vivienne our Melbournian and all the rest of us will be cheering on as a line in the sand must be drawn somewhere very soon!! Spencer's case will have huge ramifications about councils charging rates on sterilized land -so watch that one as well.    GOOD LUCK!

Seems to me all councils who work for anyone outside the juristriction of their electoral boundaries can and should be legally challenged.

Perforce the stated mandate of Local Government is in the name "Local" and in acting for ICLEI and the United Nations or even the Federal Government they are acting outside their Legal and Statutory Authority base,Therefore Ratepayers could can and should take Council Officials Elected or appointed as well as beaurocratic seatwarmers and read them the Riot Act.

 

The Riot act being under the Military Subset of Westminster Parliamentary  System it is Illegal to Enforce one Law and in so doing Break another,The Police come unstuck on this one all the time.

With Australia's Penal Colony start that is our system.

 

It is also I believe beholden on any Elected Official and any Public Servant to uphold the Laws of the Land and not to do anything in a manner that can be construed or proven as Working for or Aiding a "Foreign Government or Foreign Power",Let alone NGO's that did not even exist when the Laws they Must operate under were drafted.

 

Agenda 21 fits the bill perfectly under the Laws Governing Treason,Espionage,Industrial Espionage,Money Laundering and Tax Evasion.

Tax Evasion you ask how ? Simple really when you think about it Virtually all councils have yet to be taken to court by ratepayers over the Foreign Investments they had where many Councils lost so much on overseas investments,None of which were in their mandated operations.Think about it just how many Craig Thomsons do you think we will uncover in Local Government,Lots I bet.

Overseas  Investments that  really fall totally outside the Legal aspects of Council Financial Obligations to Local ratepayers,They simply never were allowed to do such a thing,Tax Evasion will come up when FOI is used to gain acess to all Councils Financial records.

 

It should not be too hard to gain a Court Order to use FOI to acess councils Financial records when the stated aim is to look at Council and Individual Professional Obligations regarding Financial Regulation and recompense to ratepayers as shareholders in a local corporate entity which is how they style themselves..

Any Member of Council who has engaged in Foreign Investment or moving Council funds Offshore has to answer charges resulting from "Lack of Due Care and Professional Negligence".

They have after all lost Ratepayers Money that Legally they hold in trust to provide Local Services to Local ratepayers,They are not there as a means to an end with no accountability.

 

Any Court Official will see this as a means of furthering their career and raising their profile as well as a legitimate redress that needs to be aired so should be helpfull.

What they will not see though is the ability at the same time to lay charges regarding Agenda 21 as Financial records kept will hang them out to dry aspecially when Ratepayers suddenly become wide awake as to just where the money ,"Their Money" has been going to, Overseas and just what the Local grubs have been up to along with the UN.

 

Basically we need to break this wide open in a very public fashion to gain maximum effect,Once it starts in one area in Australia it will spread like wildfire,As always follow the money to nail the crooks.

The United Nations remember is a tool of Rich Multinational companies that are themselves fabricated entities of powerfull individuals and groups of Individuals.Used wisely and with Boldness their own fabricated machinations will be the very tool we can use to destroy them.

Hi Carol, Yes I have read your site and my sister has spoken to someone in your group before.

We called our group"HANDS OFF OUR HOMES", using the same name as the state liberal campaign slogan ;)

I believe this LEP, combined with Biodiversity Certification legislation will be the end meaningful private property ownership, and eventually lead to economic collapse. So we better hit them hard now, if the next generation is to have any hope for a future.

We have this shire well and truly stirred up, simply using a relentless education of the public with letters in local papers, etc. They can only get away with this as long as the general population does not know what is going on. There is plenty to reveal.

Cheers

Damien
