Description
On 8 May 2018, Council resolved to undertake a public consultation process to initiate the 5 yearly review of the 2012 Maitland Urban Settlement Strategy (MUSS).
Further to receiving 31 submissions to the MUSS review, Council has considered the recently released Greater Newcastle Metropolitan Plan (GNMP) 2036 and Hunter Regional Plan (HRP) 2036 in the review process.
As part of this review, amendments to the general format and structure of the document have taken place, including the renaming of the document from the Maitland Urban Settlement Strategy to ‘Maitland Strategic Blueprint 2036’ (MSB). Rather than having a singular focus of providing a Local Urban Development Program (LUDP), the MSB will be the City’s new overarching strategic land use planning document, and will contain, amongst other directives, a LUDP.
A draft 'Local Urban Development Program' (LUDP) under the Maitland Strategic Blueprint 2036 has now been prepared. The LUDP has been informed by the previous Land Release Program (LRP) of the MUSS, submissions received during the consultation process in 2018, and the GNMP 2036 and HRP 2036.
The draft Local Urban Development Program is on public exhibition from Thursday 18 April 2019.
