The City of Coffs Harbour is seeking community feedback on a planning proposal to rezone land at 42 Sandy Beach Drive, Sandy Beach (Lot 105 DP 227257) from Zone R2 Low Density Residential to Zone E1 Local Centre.

The proposal will formalise the subject site into a small-scale, local commercial centre that will serve as a hub for the Sandy Beach community in conjunction with the playground, BBQ and shelter facilities, skate park and multi-purpose court located in the Sandy Beach Reserve on the opposite side of Sandys Beach Drive.

Amendments to Coffs Harbour Local Environmental Plan 2013 will:

  • amend the Land Zoning Map to rezone the site from Zone R2 Low Density Residential to Zone E1 Local Centre.
  • amend the Lot Size Map by changing the minimum lot size applying to the site from 400 square metres to no minimum lot size, consistent with other land in Zone E1 Local Centre.

Amendments to the Coffs Harbour Development Control Plan (DCP) 2015 are also proposed to align with the land use zoning changes. These amendments relate to front, side, and rear building setback controls.

All mapping associated with the planning proposal and the amended setback controls within Coffs Harbour DCP 2015 can be viewed HERE.
