Planning Proposal for 528 Caniaba Road

At its ordinary meeting on 8 October 2019, Lismore City Council resolved to support a planning proposal to amend the Lismore (LEP) 2012 to rezone part of 528 Caniaba Road, Caniaba (Lot 2, DP 1073973).

The proposed rezoning is from Zone RU1 Primary Production to Zone R5 Large Lot Residential and Zone E3 Environmental Management in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 to enable large lot residential development and protect the identified ecological values on the site.

The planning proposal also seeks to amend the minimum lot size of the proposed Zone R5 land to 3000m² and apply a maximum building height of 8.5m to the proposed Zone R5 land. A draft Structure Plan for the site has been prepared to indicate a future footpath/cycleway along Fredericks Road and requirements for the management and enhancement of sensitive vegetation and koala movement pathways.

On 14 November 2019, the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment issued a Gateway Determination with standard conditions. The Minister for Planning and Public Spaces has not issued delegation to Lismore City Council for the making of this LEP because an E Zone is proposed.

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

Copies of the planning proposal, Gateway Determination and technical studies are available to view in the Document Library to your right or in hardcopy at Council’s Corporate Centre, 43 Oliver Avenue, Goonellabah, during business hours.

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.
