Consultation has concluded
At its ordinary meeting held on 11 December 2018, Lismore City Council resolved to support a planning proposal for a Lismore Local Environment Plan (LEP) amendment to introduce a new LEP Clause 6.11 – Rural and Nature-based Tourism Development and change the land use table for Zone RU1 Primary Production in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
The planning proposal aims to facilitate a broader range and type of rural tourism developments that are currently prohibited by virtue of these developments being unable to satisfy the relatively restrictive LEP definitions of either Eco Tourist Facility or Farm Stay Accommodation.
The new LEP Clause 6.11 will apply to land within Zone RU1 Primary Production throughout the entire Local Government Area and will ensure that rural tourism development is small scale and low impact without adverse impacts on agricultural production or environmental values.
On 20 February 2019 the Department of Planning and Environment issued a Gateway Determination with conditions. The Minister for Planning has delegated the finalisation of the LEP to Council.
The planning proposal is on public exhibition from 28 March to 3 May 2019.
The draft amendments can be viewed online in our Document Library to your right or in hardcopy at our Corporate Centre, 43 Oliver Avenue, Goonellabah.
Submissions outlining grounds of objection or support can be made online below, emailed to council@lismore.nsw.gov.au or sent to the General Manager, Lismore City Council, PO Box 23A, Lismore, NSW 2480.
For further information, phone our Strategic Planner Sally Slater on 1300 87 83 87.
Submissions must be received by close of business on Friday, 3 May 2019.
