The planning proposal would change the current RU2 Rural Landscape zone to E4 General Industrial with an associated removal of the 100ha minimum lot size.
Planning Proposal
On 16 July 2024, Council resolved to forward a ‘planning proposal’ to the NSW Government and a Gateway Determination (approval to proceed to the next steps in the process) was issued to Council on 12 February 2025. This Gateway Determination includes a few conditions that must be addressed, including government agency and community consultation.
Council has consulted government agencies and is now undertaking further community consultation.
The outcomes of this consultation will be reported back to Council for consideration, at which time Council may resolve to proceed or not proceed with the current planning proposal, or to proceed with an amended planning proposal. Council aims to complete this planning proposal process by 19 December 2025.
Council is the ‘Local Plan Making Authority’ (responsible for the finalisation of the planning proposal).
