Amendment – Ashworth Drive Land Use Buffer (2022)

Council has received an application to amend Bathurst Regional Development Control Plan 2014 (DCP 2014) in relation to land known as Lot 1 DP 1130765, 2 Ashworth Drive Kelso, which is situated within the Bathurst Regional local government area.

The purpose of this DCP amendment is to:

• Decrease the size of an existing “Land Use Buffer” identified on DCP Map No. 11 – Sydney Road Precinct (North) from 25 metres to 10 metres. The reduced Land Use Buffer will facilitate further future development on the Northern side of the subject land.
• Establish a 9-metre “Building Height Limit” over the area of land which is currently identified as a Land Use Buffer, in order to reduce any potential privacy and overshadowing impacts on neighbouring residential land uses which could result from any future development of the land.
• Establish a 3-metre-wide “Landscaping Buffer” against the Western and Northern boundaries of the land, in order to screen and soften the visual impacts of any future development of the land on the neighbouring residential land uses.
