Consultation has concluded

Planning Proposal to amend the Lismore Local Environmental Plan to rezone land at Bexhill village

At its ordinary meeting of 13 June 2017, Lismore City Council resolved to support a planning proposal to amend the Lismore Local Environment Plan (LEP) 2012 to rezone land, minimum lot sizes and building heights at Bexhill Village in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

The objectives of the planning proposal are to enable an expansion of Bexhill Village and the conservation of habitat for threatened species and endangered ecological communities.

On 27 July 2017 the Department of Planning and Environment issued a conditional Gateway Determination. The Minister for Planning has not delegated the finalisation of the LEP to Council.

The Planning Proposal applies to a site that comprises 23 lots as detailed in the table below.
