Facilitating Infill Housing Amendments

This public exhibition has closed. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback.

Council has begun implementing the actions of the adopted Lake Macquarie Housing Strategy. A proposal to facilitate and support infill housing and housing diversity in residential zones close to economic centres is now on exhibition.

There are two planning documents on public exhibition for comment:

• The draft Planning Proposal, which outlines amendments to the Local Environmental Plan (LEP)
• The Development Control Plan, with proposed amendments to planning controls for subdivision and medium density residential development.

Feedback received during the exhibition period may result in further changes being made to the planning control amendments prior to a report being prepared for Councillors recommending adoption.

Submissions were captured via the NSW Planning Portal and via email to council@lakemac.nsw.gov.au.

Exhibition closed 1 November 2021.
