The objectives of the planning proposal are to:

• amend Coffs Harbour LEP 2013 by changing the zoning of Lot 111 DP 730304 and the adjoining road reserve from Zone RU2 Rural Landscape to part Zone R1 General Residential and part Zone R2 Low Density Residential;
• enable motel extensions to the existing tavern located on the northern part of Lot 111 DP 730304, along with a residential subdivision on the southern part of the property; and
• ensure that the rezoning is consistent with the broad strategic direction for the locality as described by the North Coast Regional Plan 2036 and Council’s Local Growth Management Strategy (2020).

Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) guide planning decisions for local government areas and are the main planning tool to shape the future of communities and ensure local development is done appropriately.

A development control plan (DCP) provides detailed planning and design guidelines and associated mapping to support the planning controls in the Local Environmental Plan (LEP).

It is necessary to amend maps contained within Coffs Harbour DCP 2015 to align with the proposed LEP amendments contained in this planning proposal. Updates will be made to the density, front, side and rear setbacks maps contained within Coffs Harbour DCP 2015. The draft DCP mapping amendments can be viewed HERE.

In accordance with the Minister’s determination and Council’s resolution, the planning proposal is now publicly available for community consultation.
