Council is holding a public hearing into the Sixth Round of Reclassifications of Council-owned land in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993.

At its ordinary meeting on 10 March 2020 Council resolved to support a planning proposal to:

  • Reclassify part of 50 Brewster Street, Lismore (Part Lot 4, DP 344444) from community to operational to facilitate the expansion of the Lismore pre-School.
  • Reclassify 122 Bruxner Highway, Loftville (Lot 3, DP 1261770) from community to operational to rectify an anomaly and ensure the land classification is consistent with the land use in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Local Government Act 1993.
