Government Gazette
Spatial plans, traffic decrees and other notifications are published in the Government Gazette.
You can view and respond to spatial plans that are still in progress.
What is a spatial plan
A spatial plan specifies what may be done with the space in the district. Examples are a zoning plan, amendment plan and some environmental permits.
A spatial plan also states where shops, restaurants and businesses may be located and how large buildings may be.
Laws and regulations
You will find the laws and regulations of the City of Leeuwarden at the website Overheid.nl.
How does it work?
- Enter the postal code under ‘Search by location’. For example 8913.
- Enter the title of the law and regulation you are looking for under ‘Word or phrase’. For example General Local Regulation
- Click on ‘Search’. Multiple pages of “Search results” may appear.
Central register for joint arrangements
Joint arrangements are collaborations between several governments. For example local and provincial authorities and water boards.

You can view the central register online.
No longer a local registry
Since 2021, the local authority has no longer been required to keep a register for joint arrangements locally.
The central register is the place for all information about joint regulations (GRs).
The GRs themselves must keep track of information about their arrangements. This does not apply if the GR is a city centre arrangement. This is an arrangement in which no organisation is established. In that case, the designated source-holding local or provincial authority must keep the data in the central register.
