On 27 May 2021 Coffs Harbour City Council resolved to carry out public exhibition of a number of draft documents that outline Council's expectations for the appropriate development of telecommunications infrastructure in the Coffs Harbour local government area. The draft documents are:
The draft Provision of Telecommunications Infrastructure Policy.
A draft amendment to Coffs Harbour Development Control Plan 2015.
A draft amendment to Council's Community Participation and Engagement Plan.
The three draft documents are now on public exhibition and Council is inviting submissions from any person.
The draft Provision of Telecommunications Infrastructure Policy outlines Council's expectations for appropriately sited and designed telecommunications facilities, where consent of Council is not required to develop those facilities. The draft Policy also provide guidance to staff who are assessing development applications for telecommunications facilities as well as staff who are considering applications to site telecommunications facilities on Council owned infrastructure, land or buildings.
The draft amendment to Development Control Plan 2015 (DCP) introduces development controls for telecommunications facilities that do require Council consent. The development controls are intended to ensure that development of telecommunications facilities in the Coffs Harbour local government area do not result in adverse impacts on the natural environment, the built environment, cultural heritage and the community.
The draft amendment to the Community Participation and Engagement Plan (CPEP) makes clear that when Council receives development applications for telecommunications facilities, it will advertise the development application and notify owners and users of land surrounding the development site. This has been Council's practice in the past however, the amendment will formalise this undertaking.
The draft documents can be viewed in the 'Document Library' on this web page. See the 'Frequently Asked Questions' on this web page for further information.
The draft Policy, DCP amendment and CPEP amendment were on public exhibition from Wednesday, 7 July 2021 to close of business Friday, 6 August 2021. The exhibition period has now closed and Council is reviewing submissions received. This page will be updated when Council has made a decision about whether to amend and/or adopt the Policy, DCP and CPEP amendment.
For further information about the draft Policy or DCP and CPEP amendments please contact Council's Senior Planner/Urban Designer Lachlan Black by phone on 6648 4654 or email to lachlan.black@chcc.nsw.gov.au
