PUBLIC NOTICE: Housekeeping Amendments to the Lismore Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012

Lismore City Council periodically reviews the Local Environmental Plan 2012 (LEP 2012) with amendments involving correction of minor mapping anomalies; minor zone changes; adjustment of the land use table; refinement or addition of non-mandatory provisions; and amendment of schedules as required. This planning proposal comprises the seventh round of general amendments to LEP 2012.

This proposal includes minor amendments to: Clause 4.2C - Erection of dual occupancies (detached) in Zone RU1; Clause 4.2E – Exceptions to minimum subdivision lot sizes for certain split zones; Clause 6.7 - Dual occupancies (detached) in Zone R5; Schedule 5 Environmental Heritage and the associated Heritage Map; Land Zoning Map; Lot Size Map and Height of Buildings Map. The intended outcomes of this proposal include:

• Enable two dwellings (dual occupancies (detached)) in Zone RU1 Primary Production to be located beyond the current 100m development standard separation distance and with separate driveways.
• Enable the subdivision of split zone allotments that incorporate Zone RU2 Rural Landscape.
• Enable two dwellings (dual occupancies (detached)) in Zone R5 Large Lot Residential to be located beyond the current 80m development standard separation distance and with separate driveways.
• Update the Heritage Map and associated Schedule 5 in response to a recent boundary adjustment at Monaltrie Homestead.
• Update the Land Zoning Map (including some consequential amendments to the Lot Size Map and the Height of Buildings Map) to rectify minor anomalies at Spurfield Road, McLeans Ridges.
• Update the Land Zoning Map to amend erroneous definitions of the Sewage Treatment Plant and the Waste or Resource Management Facility
• Update the Land Zoning Map, Lot Size Map and Height of Building Maps at Weston Park, Goonellabah to ensure the public drain remains within the RE1 zone.

This planning proposal has been prepared in accordance with the Department of Planning & Environment’s Local Environmental Plan Making Guideline September 2022. The Minister for Planning has delegated the making of this LEP to Lismore City Council under section 3.36(2) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
