Open Space Housekeeping LEP Amendment

Council has prepared a Planning Proposal to amend the Bathurst Regional Local Environmental Plan 2014 to rectify 9 zone boundary changes. Council has reviewed the zone boundaries of the environmental, recreation, residential and rural zones within the urban areas of Bathurst. Inconsistencies were identified with a number of zone boundaries which do not reflect the current subdivision pattern, or current or intended use of the land. It is also proposed to remove “dwelling houses” as a permissible land use within Zone RE1 – Public Recreation. The planning proposal seeks to resolve these matters.

Council has also drafted an amendment to the Bathurst Regional Development Control Plan 2014 so that the LEP and DCP maps are consistent with each other. The DCP amendment relates only to the following maps:

• DCP Map No. 3 – Eglinton;
• DCP Map No. 4 – Kelso;
• DCP Map No. 5 - Llanarth, Windradyne & Abercrombie
• DCP Map No. 15 – Robin Hill.
