Exhibition Item

In accordance with Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, Maitland City Council hereby gives public notice of public exhibition of the abovementioned planning proposal to amend the Maitland Local Environmental Plan 2011.

The objectives of the planning proposal are intended to be achieved through amending the Maitland Local Environmental Plan 2011 to allow for the development of the subject land for future residential purposes.

The Planning Proposal will facilitate the implementation of a new Urban Release Area (URA) that is earmarked as future residential development under Council’s Local Housing Strategy, the Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) and also the Hunter Regional Plan 2041, subject to a future development application assessment.

The proposed rezoning is supported by site specific studies including flooding, traffic, ecology, and stormwater management which have informed the developable area and subsequent proposed zone boundaries to respond to the constraints of the site.

Any future development of the land will require a development application and assessment against the provisions of the Maitland LEP 2011 and site-specific development controls.
