Sixth Round of Reclassifications Lismore LEP 2012

At its ordinary meeting on 10 March 2020, Council resolved to support a planning proposal to amend the Lismore Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012 to:

• Reclassify 8 Wolstenholm Street, East Lismore (Lot 7, DP 7756), from ‘community’ to ‘operational’ to enable the lease or sale of the land to the adjoining landowner.
• Reclassify part of 50 Brewster Street, Lismore (Part Lot 4, DP 344444), from ‘community’ to ‘operational’ to facilitate the expansion of the Lismore Preschool.
• 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.
• Rezone 69 Caldwell Avenue, East Lismore (Lot 131, DP 606999), from Zone RE1 Public Recreation to Zone R1 General Residential to formalise the residential use of part of the land and enable parts of it to be sold to neighbouring properties over time.

The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment issued a Gateway Determination on 5 May 2020 with standard conditions. The Minister for Planning has delegated the finalisation of the LEP to Council.

A public hearing will also be held into the matter of reclassification in accordance with section 29 of the Local Government Act 1993. The public hearing will be held after the closure of the exhibition period. A public notice of the hearing will be published at least 21 days before the public hearing.

The planning proposal is on public exhibition from 4 June to 3 July 2020.

Copies of the draft amendment are available to view in the Document Library to your right or in hardcopy at Council’s office, 43 Oliver Avenue, Goonellabah, during business hours.
