Planning Proposal - Preliminary Notification - Stockland Forest Reach Estate Huntley
Consultation has concluded
Council has received a planning proposal request (PP-2024/2) seeking to amend planning controls at Stockland’s Forest Reach Estate and we are now seeking community input to inform our initial assessment (refer to the first map in the Proposed Map Changes).
The purpose of the planning proposal request would be to amend land use zoning boundaries and consequential development control map changes for residential subdivision (refer to the second map in the Proposed Map Changes). The intended outcome is to amend the Local Environmental Plan (LEP) controls to be consistent with the residential subdivision.
What is proposed?
In summary, the Planning Proposal request seeks to amend the planning controls in the Wollongong Local Environmental Plan 2009(External link) by:
- Realignment of the RE1 Public Recreation zone mapping to reflect both the approved and proposed footprints for public open space.
- Realignment of the Land Reservation Acquisition Map to match the revised RE1 mapping, to ensure that no residential lots are affected by this mapping.
- Removal of the Land Reservation Acquisition Map associated with the upgrade of Cleveland Road.
- Realignment of the Heritage Map for Item No. 61080 – Site of Sunnyside Farm and Outbuildings to remove overlapping of this mapping into residential lots.
- Realignment of Minimum Lot Size and Floor Space Ratio Maps with revised residential zonings.
What happens next?
To assist us in forming an opinion on the draft planning proposal, we are notifying landowners prior to reporting the draft planning proposal to a Council meeting. This preliminary notification is the first step in a long process. If we resolve to progress the draft planning proposal, there will be a formal community consultation period as part of the process.
